Bangalore meri jaan

Note: I wrote the following article as a writing exercise: I realise that it may sound like a child's writing - however, when it comes to writing, I am like a child. Hopefully, this first article will go a long way in smoothening my writing style.

Bangalore was founded by the historically famous Kempegowda.In the last couple of decades, it has emerged as a city to reckon with. It is famously known as silicon city, IT capital, pensioners' paradise, etc. It has always been known for its salubrious climate and a calm atmosphere. The work
culture too, is good, especially since the IT Boom.

However, compared to other cities like Delhi & Mumbai, it gives the impression of being more laidback. Nonetheless, people from other places flock here, due to the availability of various types of jobs. Of course, there are some, who set up their own enterprises in the city.

Bangalore is one of the most famous South Indian cities.As to the cuisine available in the city, there is quite a wide range. South Indian snacks like idli, vada, dosa, poori, etc, are very popular here. One can find cuisines from other places too. Bangaloreans comprise mostly Kannadigas. As one can infer, Kannada is the principal language in the city. The city is well connected to most other places by road, the railway system and also by air.

Mysore, the twin city of Bangalore, is well connected to it by road and train.It is just 140 kms. from Bangalore. A person visiting India would do well to pay a visit to Bangalore.
