Airlines
Although it is already in the process of shutting down/already has shut down, I wish it hadn’t. Airlines is still one of the only cafes where you can sit under decades old banyan trees, order dosa and coffee (now oilier and pricier) than before from your car but was, is still worth it. It also has diverse customers, that change by time of day (college kids bunking classes throughout, older walkers eating breakfast in the morning, mums bringing their kids in for icecream in the afternoon, office crowd in the evening, etc. etc.)

Chikkajala Fort – NH7
This is a beautiful compact round fort – part of the wall and entrance was demolished while widening NH7. The broken wall should be fenced and the inside area of the fort should be landscaped and lit up – like the Mogul monuments in New Delhi. It would be a lovely sight for people visiting Bangalore as they drive past it. There is a beautiful temple inside the fort.

Bengaluru
The original name of the city ‘BENGALURU’ was Englishised by the British as ‘Bangalore’. We need to come out of amnesia, regarding the original name of the city. Thankfully, it has been officially changed, now. Public, including Mr.Naresh Narasimhan, need to unlearn and stop ridiculing the use of original Kannada name ‘BENGALURU’ and start using it.

K R Market & precinct
The forgotten fort, the city centre, the oldest thriving market of Bangalore and more – there’s too much to this place to be let to garbage problems, encroachments and traffic problems. The city market precinct is a very important part of Bangalore’s heritage and deserves immediate attention.
