Bangalore Visit 2005
I spent in
Bangalore one month in November 2005 .
Here are
some impressions.
Bangalore city
Bangalore
city is booming. All major software companies worldwide have their
representation with thousands of software
developers here. The Siemens building is visible right behind the yellow one.
The House
of Parliament of the state Karnataka is
one of the imposant buildings in background. It was built in the 50th in a historical style.
The MG Road
shows the typical traffic and smog. The 3-wheeler rule the street and battle against an increasing number of
cars. Left hand side the famous Indian “Tata” car is seen. It is still build in
this design . today. The bikes have a crash protection for the driver and an
Sari protector for passenger (not visible here).
Typical Indian
Green
coconut are sold on each corner. They were cut with a sickle and the sourly
juice is drunken with a straw.
The Indian railway
is a special experience.
A lot of
people can be carried by a small vehicle.
Road
maintenance is done by female hand.
A cheap
hotel for lorry drivers. The green part right is the kitchen.
Rural
life
It is early
in the morning. The mum will comb her later on.
Rice straw
is transported by ox carriages.
The cow
sleep in the street without any stable. The children should sleep. In
background an Internet café offers service.
The braided
boats are older than the temple in the background. With the proudly displayed
big captured fish the next lunch is secured.
Banana are
prepared.
Indian Wedding
I was
invited to an Indian Wedding of one of
my colleagues. The habits differ in the different states. This was a Tamil
wedding.
The pride
bride.
Milk is
dropped on the feet and wiped by silk.
Congratulation
to the couple
The ladies
in their sarees are a celebration of beauty and colors.
