Bridge between high-tech and no tech
Also, city of garrisons, gardens, and grandparents
Native of none and yet Namma Bengaluru
Growing bamboo-like with dense patches of people
Artistically eclectic: Kuchipudi dancers to cringe comedians
Lal Bagh calls to keep the title “city of gardens”
Obliging in ways rarely seen above ten million
Rust red and old stone buildings; the city’s grey hair
Everything is possible here

It’s a unique city. While the area around Cubbon Park has both the state capital (Vidhana Soudha) and the city hall, there’s no real central business district in the sense such a thing exists in most cities — it’s more disbursed neighborhoods. Plus, it doubled its population in about decade.
