Old Bangalore Picture

I just realised that Bangalore is changing so much and i dont have any snaps of it from the past good old years!!

1. I really regret not taking a few clicks on "Nandha Talkies Road". Now that the Metro project is in full swing, i did miss that.

2. Another thing i should have clicked (this will surprise u ppl or u wil think i am crazy!) is that of the old KSRTC Super delux bus ;) The pale pista green & off white coloured Buses which were costlier than the other "Normal" red buses were a thing to envy, as not everybody could afford to travel on it. I am still searching for a photo of that bus on net. Let me know if u guys have one.. :)

3. I would wanna go to the Peenya truck check post and take some snaps of the Trucks from Rajasthan, Amritsar, Punjab and the likes. I am crazy about the artistic works on those trucks, the "Blow Horn" and the "We two Ours two" paintings on them!! Hmm! Never know. We may sieze to see these trucks in the future, wat with the Volvo BF7Rs and the Mercedes Benz truck on the prowl

Most scenic Roads

If WRC (World Rally Championship) wants a great tropical Rally, they shouldnt look no further than Coorg and Chickmagaloor! Let alone WRC, our K1000 (Karnataka Rally) have stopped looking at these possibilities.
Surprising/Shocking that, they want to CREATE a Rally route near Chickballapur (read barren unlimited) and other places on the outskirts of Bangalore, largely to attract crowd and get sponsorships and may be to reduce the logistic complexities. But the charm isnt there any more.
K-1000 rally was known for 1000 Kms of Rallying on the Hills, across the coastal belt and back. And i believe that used to be exciting.

This makes me think of the most scenic road trips that can be done in Karnataka and surrounding areas.

1. Gundlupet -- Bandipur - Masingudi - Ooty (take the 36 hairpin bend route)
2. Gundlupet -- Sultan Bathery -- Kalpetta -- Calicut

4. Gundia - Dharmastala
5. Kottigehara - Charmadi - Ujjire (Charmadi ghat)
6. Kottigehara - Kalasa - Horanadu
7. Kudremukh - Karakala
8. Nanjingud - Mananthwadi - Kalpetta (wayanad) --> mind u, no road.. almost :), but the most dense wildlife spot u can think of.

10. Agumbe Ghat (Agumbe to someshwara)
