Street called Thippasandra at Bangalore.

Thippasandra is the street where I started my stay at Bangalore. I had visited this city about decade ago, but with tourist’s perspective. Now I am here as an ASIC engineer, in this world famous Indian IT hub.

My stay is at Thippasandra Street. A unique street where, business or say people routine is very busy and bouncy and curvy. It’s a proper market street you can relate to if you have stayed or staying in old part of any city in India.

The whole street has every possible shop you can imagine; it’s not a mall though. Many shops are here since long time. People around here are mix of outsiders or say IT engineers and locals whose generations have lived here.

It’s a street where five temples are situated at regular interval. Ganesha temple is very famous landmark. It’s a steer where bars are situated at regular interval but for me they are hidden as I am not searching for them. It’s a street where juice centers are situated at regular interval. Tea shops are here, sweet shops are here, construction related, cloths, grocery shops, and everything is available here.

Kanti’s shop is frequented by everyone as it is the only place provides other than south Indian dishes.

There is this road side small cart which sells Jalebi in the evening. It so famous that people eat it right there, and also take home. Good jalebi.

In Bangalore two things are very common in every area. One is south Indian style breakfast center whose names would be ended with “sagar”. Second thing is juice center.

The street is so crowded during evening that you can not walk in straight line; you got to jump, dodge and have a curvy road till you reach your destination. It’s a one way but as usual there will some biker, or car will break that rule and drive in opposite direction. Anyway its fun to observe people on the street.

It seems the street which was quite and having a simple routine has changed due to influx of young guns in the city and has became a street where there is lots of hustling whole day.

It has connectivity to CMH road on one side and on other side there is whole BEML and HAL area. There is also an LIC Bima nagar, and indira Nagar area. CMH road has many modern shops and junk food joints. There is Crossword near by also local Sapna Book store for book lovers.

Open gutter system has given two gifts, a natural food for trees and mosquitoes.

Thippasandra is the street which has transformed over the years, I hope in coming years it becomes a clean and organize street.
