Very Slow Bangalore Life

I am staying in Bangalore from past 1 year. The life here is like a slow melodious music. All work happens without any hurry, no one is running to reach anywhere, traffic settles down slowly, mob moves slowly. Somehow I am enjoying this slowness. I always dreamed about a calm and constantly flowing life and Bangalore is a perfect place to quench such desires.

Bangalore weather is always normal, even a hike in vehicles & pollution has not made it unlivable. Tree plantation everywhere absorbs the extra carbon mono-oxide in atmosphere. There are trees and plants everywhere in the city.

The main places one can see in Bangalore are:

1. Majestic Circle: The main bus station of the city with hundreds of buses standing in the depot at a time. Just after coming out of Bangalore City Station one can step into majestic circle and take bus to reach any part of the city.

2. Cubbon Park: This is a big park in Bangalore with various kinds of trees in it. In the middle of the park bamboo trees are grown in such a way, it looks like a bamboo castle.

3. Mahatma Gandhi (MG) Road: MG road is the favorite place for youngsters to hang around in the evenings. One can find food junctions, malls, multiplexes, roadside shops enough to do window shopping.

4. Lal Bagh: For beautiful flowers, trees, birds and sceneries one can go to lal bagh. It is calm and beautiful.

5. Bennargatta Park: One of the very green corner of Bangalore is Bennargatta Park. There are wild life sanctuary and zoo in the same place. One can go for wild life safari also. There is a beautiful butterfly park also where one can find information about almost all the species of butterflies in the world.

6. Iskon Temple: There are temples governed by
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness all over India and one of them is in Bangalore. Iskon temple is mainly for the worshiping of lord Krishna. It is very grand temple and nice place to visit in Bangalore.

There are many other hangout places in Bangalore like shopping malls, restaurants, auditoriums, gardens etc. City is full of places, just stepping out of Bangalore station there are interesting things to see.
