Just as New Jersey’s state name has made it the butt of many a joke, Bangalore catches a lot of flack (both from residents and outsiders) for retaining the title of “Garden City” in the wake of the recent decade of unrestrained growth. (If anything tells one about present day Bangalore it’s that its size doubled in little more than a decade from almost five million to close to ten. Even under the best of governance that would result in a bit of chaos–re: and this is not the best of governance.)
That said, Bangalore has some awesome trees. (As I’ve mentioned, this results from the lack of proclivity to destroy everything that stands in one’s way or that presents the slightest bit of risk or inconvenience that is the modus operandi in the developed world.)

DAILY PHOTO: Puny Hulk Tree: or, Gigantic Parsley Sprig
Taken in April of 2014 in Bangalore.
I took this photo at the Swiss Consulate in Bangalore the other night. The consulate was all lit up, and this tree looked preternaturally and suspiciously green. First, I thought that this might be the Bruce Banner of trees, but then I figured it’d bulk up more when it got all ragey. Then I realized it looked a little like a huge sprig of parsley–perhaps exactly what a sprig of gamma-injected parsley would look like if it were rage-filled.

Taken in April of 2014 in Bangalore.
Saw a dog doing its business in the fountain of a swanky office building the other day. If that doesn’t capture the spirit of Bangalore, I’m not sure what does.

The Leela Palace is probably the swankiest of Bangalore’s 5-star hotels.

Taken on April 12, 2014 in VVpuram, Bangalore.
Made another trip to Bangalore’s Food Street in VVpuram (near Sajjan Rao Circle) for Rumali Roti and Mysore Masala Paneer Dosa. Both were excellent, and the street was packed with humans, bovines, canines, and felines all living harmoniously.

Many say that baby macaques are cute. Those people may not have seen a true infant, hairless and wrinkled, looking–ironically–like an old man.
This one hasn’t even grown to fully look like H. Ross Perot. You see, all young macaques look like H. Ross Perot, and some adult macaques look like Gary Busey.
