Gangotri Glades!!

GLADES - 'The Lords' of Mysore, is the only Cricket Stadium in the city n mind u, a pretty good one too.. Located in gangotri campus,with a view of the adjacent Kukkarahalli Lake n the Chamundi Hills beyond it, makes this big stadium, a very picturesque one indeed...
Many local, Ranji n other National level matches have been hosted by this stadium already n it's just a matter of time, before it makes it's debut on the international scene.. Whenever there's a match here, the local cricket lovers throng this place to cheer their local stars like K.B.Pavan,Raghavendra,Aditya B Sagar etc.. So the next time you hear there's a match in Mysore,u know the place, where all the cricketing action will be...

Gulla Puri, another version of Panipuri!!!

Guess many of the people haven heard of the name "GULLA PURI". Yes its an another version of panipuri available on the road sides everywhere!!
Actual Panipuris are only available in the evening times on the streets and chat corners, but this gulla puri walas starts their business from the morning itself!!!
Here u get only pani puri and yeah "Sukka puri!!" which is a dry version of panipuri for which he never put pani!!. If u haven tried it!! Go try once!! Its nice to have it wen u are hungry!!

The above pic is the famous "GULLA PURI CORNER" in Gangothri Campus. Firstly this gulla puri wala was near ROUND CANTEEN!!! now hes has shifted to the corner of the university entrance!!!

He is serving gulla puri since 6 years in the campus, and ya the gangothri and JCE students are the regular customers!!
But this guy still haven learnt Kannada properly!!!

Corner House - The best corner to Chill Out!!

The famous "Corner House" group, who have,a sort of, attained an exclusivity in serving people with the yummiest n most delicious ice creams,have started their 'corner' in VV Mohalla ,Mysore.. Honestly,there are more than one recommendations that I would make, of all that you are offered by the menu.. But then 'course, there is the "Death By Chocolate(DBC)" that you simply can't afford to miss... Definitely a cool place to hang out..!!
Well,if your tongue has an affinity towards some of the best ice creams served around,all that I would say is,your destination is just at the 'the Corner'... ;-)

Nalpak - Everything in Good Taste!!!

Yup..!! As the title suggests,almost everything served here,is in good taste alright.. The Nalpak group of restaurants have two branches in the city @ Kuvempunagar & VV Mohalla. Now with their newest branch being opened today in the Vishwamanava Double Road,Kuvempunagar, I'm sure the people of Kuvempunagar will find a new source to satisfy their taste buds, in this place..N 'course, apart from the taste, the bright lightings, the unique kind of flooring, the interiors n general setup of the restaurant is an attraction in itself
This I can tell you, from personal experience.. ;-) 

Marimallappa's !!!

Marimallappa's!! the oldest institution of mysore, manufacturing the brain machines since 130 years!! Every student of mari's feel proud to say that he/she is a mari's product!!!
Its still maintaining its fame providing quality education since ages!! It has given many technocrats & medicos to the country!!
And ya just happened to visit our school last weekend with my friends!! And we had met our biology lecturer MSP!! And he was happy too see us and he did recognised us too.
And came to know by him, that our school was listed into the heritage bulidings of the city.
And it has got so much of grants from the goverment to maintain the heritage as it is!!

Mysore rains!!

"I just love to walk in the rain...N if u do so too,then some of these Mysore roads are just ideal for having a stroll,when there's a slight drizzle..The sight of the green trees accompanying you on both the sides,the obvious lesser traffic n the freshness injected from the rain,give the already beautiful city a much more beautiful look..."

"When it comes to some delicious,mouth watering Dosas, the name GTR is quite a brand... Located in Chamundipuram, this is one such few old hotels, which have grown with time, n have successfully maintained the reputation..."

Ring road isn't ringing!!

I guess most of the people have forgot ring road!!
Only heavy vehicles are using it properly, but the two wheelers and the cars are still opting the main roads with busy signals to go out of the city!!
As i know ring roads are made to conserve precious time!!

I just used it yesterday and just reminding u people tooo ;)

The well known Clock Tower!!

The well known clock tower of mysore.
This 75-feet, square tower is topped in Indo-Saracenic style.
