Population is beyond control, traffic is crazy, roads are dusty and weather
not at all what it used to be. As a person born in Bengaluru 60 years back I have my
list of complaints about this city. But one very pleasant aspect that always appeals
to me is the creation of parks in almost every residential extension. You keep
walking deep inside the concrete jungle and unexpectedly you find an oasis of
green ! The layout though varying in size, is standard. Paved walkways, benches,
covered meeting places and exercising equipment. I am glad that the BBMP has
retained the habit of creating parks, a trend which began with Sri Lakshmana Rao,
erstwhile commissioner of the Bangalore City Corp converting both sids of the
Rashtreeya Vidyalaya road into long stretches of gardens. Pictures below are from
two such gardens in Banashankari 2nd Stage.
