Whitefield and a heritage walk?

Well,The title looks a bit vague for those who came to Bangalore post 2000s and All they can imagine about Whitefield is dusty areas, pretty looking office buildings from outside (iykyk) and conjusted jails(Pgs offcourse).

But ever felt, Whitefield had a heritage too? it's even older than Basavanagudi and Own Malleshwara?

so to break the myth as a geeky Navya ,I knew Whitefield was the place where Churchill had a love story.But I did not know that many Anglo Indian homes existed and they could smell baking of breads around the inner circle.This was told by one of the people attended.

Oh, forgot! This was arranged by Raksha Nagaraj under Bengaluru Prayana where I had done like 4 walks.

So first we visited a church and it was good with Christmas vibe.We had visited a club too and the most favourite part has to be a century old home called 'Perfect Peace' owned currently by the D'souzas.

The mother and son duo really has a good taste and they have filled the house with crockery and clocks collection.You know,my love for old buildings date back to Talgod home which was also old.I repeat,I relive my childhood.

Again, The house was too beautiful and they had a garden.They were so happy that we visited them and they are happy to show what they got.Also I wonder if any stupid enroacher had troubled them to construct tall apartment complexes just how they did for other heritage buildings.

But I tell you, anywhere in Whitefield inner circle do visit and I tell you to get experience by your own.I feel everything differs in perspective and all I can lure you is with some really good pictures from there!

also,now that you are done reading about 'Perfect Peace' why not visit other vintage things near by and thank me later?

Happy Walking!

bye!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
