10 BEST SERIES - MARCH 2016

BangaloreHey Apeksha here! I’m a professional

procrastinator, animal rights supporter, anti-social

metal head who sometimes gathers her thoughts

together and pens them down. Currently a

student of Garden City College, I’m pursuing my

studies in Journalism. My hobbies (other than

writing) include petting street dogs, playing video

games, doodling, listening to same song on repeat

till I get bored of it and watching horror movies.

Be it the heritage, amusement parks, shopping

malls, international dines or cuisines, weather

which makes you wanna fall in love, affable

crowd, the “in” night life or English speaking

auto – walas, you name it and I’m pretty sure

Bangalore’s got it!

New to the city? Got a Gang? Travel geek? Tired

of your boss’s daily rants? Need a break? Well

then, get dressed, grab your phone & a few bucks

because I’m taking you on a trip on “10 best

places to visit in Bangalore”.

Hello readers…

Garden City College of Science & Management Studiesand to all my friends & all around good people of this beautiful city!!

COMMERCIAL STREET10

• You should not miss this if you are in Bengaluru.

• Best time to visit would be weekdays!

• “Many varieties of accessories with less price”

Let’s start with a little shopping, shall we? Commercial Street is a shopping hub

which will feed all your needs from head to toe in a crazy affordable prices! It is

one of the most popular spots in Bangalore. Chances are, you might even bump

into one of your colleague adding the last dress left on discount you wanted in

her basket! (True story! Hope it never happens to you.) Anyways, don’t let the

name “Commercial Street” fool you, it’s a real wide market spread over a large

area! So lace up your shoes, get ready to walk miles and leggo shopping! Plus,

there are little restaurants and food stalls as well just in case your stomach starts

growling.

What the shopaholics say?

Shoppers Paradise

LALBAGH09Ever had this feeling of ditching the reality and escaping onto a place filled with

peace and beautiful sceneries? Yep, then Lal Bagh is the place for you my dear

friend. Lalbagh is a home for India's largest collection of tropical plants, with a

lake, and is one of the main tourist attractions in Bangalore. Walk along with

mesmerizing flowers planted on either side of the path, relax, imagine yourself as

a Disney princess/ prince and sing “Let it Go” to all your worries and you’ll feel

light. Try it. Works like magic! (Not out loud though, I’m not responsible if

people gather around you and try to beat you up for breaking their state of

peace.)

• “Peaceful Place”

• “The best place to visit in Bangalore”

• “Absolutely Beautiful”

Happy people say

KALPALLI CEMETERY

Kalpalli Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries of Karnataka, situated near Old

Madras Road, is famous all over India for being haunted! Passersby have

reported eerie sounds late at night, people disappearing, a man seen on several

occasions walking through the cemetery, Michael Jackon rising from the grave!

(Okay maybe not the last one.)

If you’re a horror fanatic and a paranormal investigator wanna be like me, It’s a

must visit place for you! In addition, you can also carry an Ouija board just in

case you feel the need to communicate with the dead. (Who knows MJ might

answer you!)

• What an Experience!

• A very very scary ghost spotted…is it true?

• Eyewitness accounts report occurring as bizarre stories

Haunted really

Are you a paranormal

investigator?...try this...


ISKCON TEMPLE07Built in ornate architectural style, the Krishna Temple is a blend of modern

technology and spiritual harmony. Situated in Rajaji Nagar, spread over 8

acres, this is ISKCON’s largest temple complex in the world and the finest

example of fusion of modern and traditional elements of architecture which

includes six shrines. A sure candidate in “places to visit in Bangalore”!

(Especially after a visit to Kalpalli Cemetry.)

• “beautiful temple”

• Must visit place for tourists

GREEN THEORY

You won’t be wrong if you call Bangalore “A foodie’s paradise” but finding

quality vegetarian food can sometimes be a slightly tough task. Green Theory is a

vegetarian world cuisine restaurant which serves in a hip, bohemian-style colonial

bungalow surrounded by greenery, away from pollution and crowd. The food is

finger licking delicious yet affordable. I totally recommend the Grilled Tofu

Burger! Green Theory offers free Wi-Fi, a barter library, comfy sofas, friendly

staff, quick service and food which tastes so good as if made by god’s own chef!

Arakkal and N. S. Bendre along with various others. It’s a major tourist

CUBBON PARK01Located in the heart of the city, Cubbon Park is the official “Chill and relax”

spot of the young Bangalore crowd. Spread over an area of 100 acres, the

labyrinth of trees and the environment will certainly give you a “Hi I am Bear

Grylls and today I’m going to show you how to escape from this place” feel.

Take a break from your hectic life and go to Cubbon Park with your friends or
