: : Photo Walk : : Railway & Bridge

It is long time since I have gone for a morning photo walk. Thought of taking a drive and click on my dear Duro. Just went around the Bayappanahalli railway area, the KR Puram bridge side and the ITI Cricle.

Bangalore's real estate is eating up the entire vegetation. There is so much that I miss here, compared to where I have grown up. Back in Kerala, I grew up in between the richness of trees and plants. Sun had a tough time to penetrate the green umbrella, which always blessed us with a wonderful climate through out the year and with enough fruits and vegetables, inside our premises. 

Climbing up the trees of 3-4 stories height, were the favorite game at those times. When comes to the sports, There wasn't much budget for the kids gang to buy cricket bat and everything for a game. All were from the nature. Instant solutions. I am not joking. The cricket bat came from the coconut tree leaf, stumps came from the plants that grew on the boundary line of the house, the newly sprouted coconut served as the cricket ball. Good old days.

The whole greenery around reminded me of my home in Kerala and a fear of losing the best of the nature, which treated our childhood with the wonderful memories.

Hope the greenery in Bangalore exist atleast for a decade, that the coming generation might have a chance to see the trees and shades.

The old station ticket counter. What I loved is the small bridge that leads to the counter.

The watch tower which is no more functional. Stand isolated from the rest of the areas that underwent renovation
