Travels, experiences and food: 20 March 2010 : Commercial Street

A warm saturday with lots of sunshine, more than enough for the millions of people in Bangalore.. We started out with a nice pasta with meatballs (chicken) at Cafe Pascussi... We then walked down to MG Park, Cubbon Park, past the old and new governmental parliments, high court of Karnataka (Bangalore is in the state of Karnataka), went for virgin pinacoladas at The Capital (most sluggish environment for a so called 'perfect business manners' hotel. We were the only customers but they took 20mins to make 2 drinks, another 10 to bring a small piece of cake and 20 mins to bring our bill...)... Anyways after this exciting trip around the city on foot, we took an autorickshaw to the ever famous commercial street.

Commercial street is well known as the 'Shopping paradise'. It is a place where you can get really cheap tops which i like and i did get a kurti top which cost 150 Rupees-15DKK-5SGD. But, there always is a but. It is absolutely filled to the brim with people and at every single nook and corner there is a shop. Most of the shops sell almost about the same stuff just with different prices. And if you actually venture deeper into this district you would see many different kinds of things. We saw a little young cow - the thinnest cow ever, just wandering the streets mooing for some food or something like that. You can also see tonnes of people at the same shop bargaining like crazy, little food shops (which either of us would recommend to anyone) on the roads with their food out in the 30+degrees with flies constantly hovering over it and some little kid without any proper shoes-bottoms roaming around... Oh and the smog-traffik....

It is in all a very eye opening place. I am not sure if i can exactly describe the place accurately to you, but i hope that the pictures taken would help with that ;)
