May the new year bring you the charm and freshness like this white lotus from Lalbagh nursery!!

Happy New Year!!

BDP is taking off till first week of Jan 2010 and will resume posting next year!! Warm wishes!!

Cake a Little!!

Make merry with sweet tooth, the range of cakes that are appearing and disappearing from shelves are on high!! Great way to celebrate year end festivities!! I am getting ready for few!

Mallige…

There is an undisputed love for Maliige (flowers and garlands), traditionally these have been the core ingredients of happiness. Due to a large demand these flowers are made onto garlands and sold across the city regularly few even have delivery mechanisms on monthly payment basis at your doorstep. Though Jasmine remains the most sought after flowers…

Going Pink!

Tabebuia blooms are paining the city pink & purple, these winter blooms are very colorful and charming. Courtesy Tabebuia impetiginosa’ from Tabebuia family, Enjoy!!

Silk Mark Expo...

Silk Mark Expo 2009, a platform for all silk lovers to explore various silk-ware options under a single roof. as many as 250 stalls from various indian silk weavers, traders exhibit their best and buyers get affordable quality stuff...

The photograph is a new panaromic feature of my new Kodak z915, so click on the photo and enjoy the ultrawide shot I took squeezing in a corner...( I might need to keep working on the alignement as these are three images stiched together by this cam.)

Fully Loaded Food Courts..

The holiday season uplifts spirit of shopping and brings people to markets and malls. Many prefer to shop all day long and manage to eat quickies in the food court, thus the food courts in the evening are fully loaded with food varieties and crowd of consumers!!

9th Hole @ Bangalore Golf Club

Golfing is passion for many and this city too has many enthusiasts endorsing the spirit of the game; The Bangalore Golf Club is the second oldest course in India founded in 1876. (18 Compact dry & sandy course with some rocky parts in the fairways but greens are lush and well-manicured) Looks like few prefer walking through the course enjoying great weather and peaceful surroundings..

Take a break!!

All it takes to pull the vehicles up in a parking area and take a nice and long nap, this auto driver must have started his day quite early and needed a desperate roadside break from his routine mid day!!

Now Reading!!

Street selling of best sellers, I like tracking this to know who is reading what! Most of these are the cheap / pirated copies but tends to give an idea about which titles are still in demand, compared to last snapshot in Jan 09 , April 09 , Jun 09, July 09 AND Sept 09 looks like some titles are here to stay…

Changing horizons…

The city is changing its color from green to concrete. Atop a multistory I could get a glance onto the horizon and looks like the city is getting dense, and greens tense….

Colorful Malls...

The festivities reflect more in markets and the malls, here is a wonderful display at Garuda mall, the fun and frolic is too exciting for shoppers looking for new arrivals…

Bangalouru Habba is here, An art exhibition “Craft Mela — Kalamadhyam” is organized in Chitrakala Parishat from Dec 11^th till 20^th loaded with various artifacts from different parts of the country, these colorful kites too represent the colors of the creations; don’t miss it if you are in the city!!
