Hello Readers Bangalore, the city is pretty much amazing in it's own way, great places to explore and the exploration creates a vibrant image about anything and everything in your mind. The buses & the metro ride, flamboyant cars, shaandaar hotels, multilingual people, the traffic packed roads, busy shopping streets, South Indian food shops along the road, people with office id cards around their neck, coffee shops at stone throw distances, malls and not to forget, the very pleasant atmosphere at any time of the day. This city is so unique, that i love the whole process of getting used to it. You leave behind a lot in order to embrace a new life, and i guess! that is what i am here for. Getting up, getting ready, rushing for class, working on various projects, catch ups, lots of coffee and a lot of learning! I am in love with this transition. If new to this city, I am sure anyone can make their life beautiful out here. It anyway is a decision that one takes for oneself, isn't it? From the day i popped up in Bangalore, I have been hunting down cafes to spend on average at least 60 minutes of my time there. Be it any cafe i choose to spend those 60 minutes of my life, should be welcoming. Keeping me there is one thing, but making me come out of that place is a whole new thing. After all those loud suggestions, crazy hunting and a hell lot of food tasting, i was able to shortlist some good cafes in Bangalore. Cafes for endless conversations. Presented by Ms. Isha Sehgal MA Journalism & Mass Communication Special thanks to: Garden City College of Science & Management Studies & to all the café lovers out there in this beautiful city!!
