How many of us know the story behind this biggest HUB of India…Which is now called the Indian Silicon Valley…and home for many party lovers all over india…Yes friends today I thought I would share about NAMMA BENGALURU………..
There is a very interesting story behind this IT hub city…It goes like this…There was a King by Name Ballala of the Hoysala dynasty...he was on his hunting where he had lost his way in the jungle..and deep inside the jungle lived a old woman who took pity on the hungry and tired hunter (King Ballala)..The poor old women had nothing else to offer the King but the boiled beans…The hungry king was so pleased with her …that her named the entire city as “bele-benda-kalu-ooru”..In Local Kannada which means place of boiled beans…And this how we got the name “Bengalooru” in the 9th century...

Did you know that in 19th century Bangalore became the twin city with the “pete”(like chickpete,doddapete) whose residents were “Kannadigas” and the “cantonment “ which was created by the British were residents of “Tamilians” and “Anglo Indians”….
Along with this during Kempe Gowda regime when he decided to built bengaluru he invited all the skilled workers from distance parts of the country….
Well now also everyday there are people travelling to bengaluru for their opportunities…this shows the welcoming nature of Kannadigas and which has now given the city its cosmopolitan complexion..
Now the city is Booming with more population…IT companies ..BPO’s …with Malls and Multiplexs…which is a good sign of growth..But naturally bengaluru is loosing its beauty of being a “Garden City” once....
Watch out the New Bengaluru
The green land turning into big size apartments ,Tech parks and Fly overs….Well sometime this thought keep wondering me always do we really need these flyovers….But unfortunately we need to have them due the growing population and traffic in the city…The traffic which makes us very upset…
But still we feel the pride of being a Bangalorean…People love living in Bangalore inspite of it turning into a garbage city from a garden city…The very disappointing factors it apart from its growth and opportunities Bangalore is loosing on the infrastructure which is very poor….
Guys take a look at these pictures which make us feel really sad that our own city the silicon valley in such bad condition...These are few places of Bangalore which are ignore by our politicans and BBMP which needs to be taken care very badly…
However the city is still we Bangaloreans feel so proud of it and say it with lot pride and attitude
“Idhu Namma Bengaluru “
