Again, Basavanagudi ❤️

So as a part of Blr Hubba,I went on a heritage walk with gully tours with Kartik's shirt and Appu in hand as usual with a camera.I reached a bit late(on time precisely) unlike older times where I would be super early.Its hard to gather all the "Challe Pille' with me and go.I was definitely looking like an activist / journalist.
so we started at National College metro station, Basavanagudi from V V puram side on KR road.So Preetika our guide was sweet and she explained about National College.Then we headed to watch some vintage houses ,one was called "Shooting house" which I had seen many times.
she explained about Monkey Towers which were a part of 1900s Bangalore architecture which would make monkeys jump a bit hard with its style.
Here in the above picture you can see that inverted 'V' kind of thingy,it's called monkey tower.This house was belonging to a doctor and the house opposite was even too vintage and the owner was shocked to see so many people staring at his house.
Then we witnessed Subbamma Stores/Srinivasa Condiment Shop.There was a lady called Subbamma who would seel Masala Powders and sweets like Laddu.She was too famous in Basavanagudi area backthen and her grandsons run the store now.The store is always filled with people and such a nice thing it was.I shopped upto 350 rs I guess.
I am a frequent visitor of Gandhi Bazar and never tried to explore the other roads which I had seen .I was shocked to see 'Lankesh Patrike ' head office there.BMS college was nearby.
Then we came back to Gandhi Bazar and I made Kavya to taste Sabbakki Idli at 'Namma SLN'.I startee drooling over Bajji there and it took sometime for the Bajji anna to prepare.
Aprameya  went ahead with Kavya, Dhanya to Bugle Rock.
I discovered one more road called 'Puttanna Road' and reached Bugle Rock.We then concluded the walk post visiting Bull temple.We went to Brahmins Bakery and I told them that how much I love that place.
Also I discovered some more cute places and Nice people.I met a guy from Thailand working in Nagavara IKEA.Then I remember one more curly haired girl,then Meenakshi and many more.
Also I found some nice places which I am planning to visit sometime soon !

lastly,my son made friends with a girl who was elder to him and he made her cry with his charm and energy.This was his first close encounter with a baby,a girl baby that too🫡.He is actually 'Aprameya' is what I realised.
till my next blog,hope you also go out and explore ✨

Here I am ,again after a week!Guess what,Appu(My son) has been better in terms not being clingy and furious all the time.So a brownie point for that and on a good note to start with. This week I and my brother went for a family function and I got a proper picture after buying this phone.I prefer cotton dresses here even if it is a marriage. So this was just before going out.I am not a shopaholic and I advise sustainable clothing.I also liked a tamarind jaggery dish prepared at the function.Also the wise old man is back here, hehe!. Andd,I have become a slow reader in search of new flexible job.I mean I work for a core company and a coder.But somehow I want to escape from going to office.. We resumed playing badminton again this week:) One of our garden flowers stem broke suddenly after blooming fully.I felt sad, like you be in your limelight and suddenly boom! Something happened. Nowadays since it's cloudy all the time, evening skies are such a nice treat I ...

Dear Diary -25.05.25

Uff,Rainy week!I am listening to "Yamune Aatrile" from Thalapathi which ended up me in tears. Such a practical application of Mahabharata.I suddenly remembered it and snatched back my earbuds from my Mommy dearest. I was reading a book by V S khandekar which was translated from Marathi to Kannada called "Krounchavadhe".You know it means, a hunter had killed the male Krounchpakshi when it was with his partner.I am liking the writing style though and ordered one more book by the same author. I made my son wear his sweater and hat which his dad had got for him from Nainital.But the little guy seems to like the no sweater policy.He cried till I removed it. Last Sunday, I had been to my dad's native where I was born.I felt like crying after visiting there as I had spent my major portion of the life there in one place.My cousins and chikkamma prepared nice Pav Bhaji for us.I had to manage by spending equal times at both the houses(My Ajji and S...

Dear Diary -03.05.25

So here I am with one more weekly update.My husband is in Varanasi and he lived my dream.He was a little kind enough to try the food I suggested and places I suggested.It's raining there and his flight is delayed it seems. This week was a roller coaster emotionally.I had a big fight with my husband and he sent me a surprise Pizza.I was never a pizza lover,but I craved for it in my pregnancy. Also,this week marked the death of our dog,Gundu one who changed my perspective on dogs itself.He would accompany me for walks.Its sad that he was attacked by a leopard.Idk,what forest department is doing.I mean only pigs were of a concern here. Nvm,they got a replica of  Gundu now,My mava said it must be his child only as he looks the same and from the same place where our Gundu would go for his night walks.Wherever you are,I hope you are happy Gundu. also,gold rates are sky high.For a small piece ,say tiny enough,for that it costed me 700 rs. I went to ajjanmane as my ...
