Bangalore bliss
Bangalore’s great weather and uniquely cosmopolitan flavour make it India’s most inhabitable city
While much of the country is reeling with temperatures in 40+ degrees, with interludes of thunderstorms and lashing rain, Bangalore continues to enjoy salubrious weather. Cool in the mornings, moderately warm in the afternoons (ok, hot but bearable), and pleasant in the evenings with occasional gentle showers to keep our umbrella hinges working. Much to be grateful for, living in this place which not only has great all-year-around climatic conditions but also a uniquely cosmopolitan flavour which makes it one of India’s best cities to inhabit. And now with the post-pandemic world slowly and steadily opening up, restaurants, pubs, shops are once again gathering footfalls with people venturing out and reclaiming agency over their lives. One has only to step out of Bangalore and return, to appreciate all that one takes for granted in namma city – weather that feels easy on the skin, people who are nice enough, food and beverage options that abound in every locality to make life sweet and tangy and bubbly… Traffic? Now that’s a lament for another day. For now, stay blissed. SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

engaluru is a traveller’s delight. It starts with the air conditioned Volvo buses and the pre-paid taxi counter at the airport. Not to mention, the pre-paid auto counters at the city’s railway stations. But the finest example is the ease with which you can navigate the central business district of MG Road and around with the Big 10 buses. You can hop on and hop off at any point after your shopping expedition. But the finest experience will be the first reach of the Namma Metro train running from Old Madras Road to MG Road. Happy travels.

Yes, Bangalore’s most popular Nagarjuna restaurant chain will now deliver the entire meal packaged in a smart, neat box for you to eat in the comfort of your own place.

COVER STORY fried dried chilly and crisps. Nothing is missing. It’s the complete meal that you know and love with all its goodness and freshness intact. It’s packed in a one-person per meal tray box, without complications of opening different packets and emptying them into separate bowls. You pull out the tray box from the drawer-like jacket, open the lids of individual containers neatly ensconced in the box, and simply dig into the delicious spread before your eyes – of rice, fragrant sambar, spinach dal, rasam, vegetable curry, spicy gongura chutney, the secret podi to die for, with ghee, pickle, curd, fried dried chilly that’s so essential to your Andhra experience, crispy fryums, and payasam to complete the heavenly aromatic meal with. Nothing like enjoying this meal with your fingers, feeling the texture and tasting the flavours even before they reach your mouth. But if you prefer, there is a spoon and napkin neatly packed with your meal as well. You’re advised to stay hungry with a good appetite when your order your Nagarjuna Bhojanam In A Box since the quantity is very sumptuous, and it’s the only way you can do justice to this delicious meal! A new concept in door-delivered meals, Nagarjuna’s Bhojanam In A Box was the brainchild of Nagarjuna Founder-Director Mohan Reddy and his Director daughter Meghana. They thoughtfully came up with this idea and created it as a learning from the pandemic when people were unable to step out of their homes, and yet longed to have their

tongue-tingling Andhra. So they came up with this idea. While home deliveries of food is not anything new, what makes this Nagarjuna offering different is the smart packaging which not only looks great but is very convenient and easy to have as an individual box for each person, without missing out on
any of the meal accompaniments. It’s put together in a ready-to-eat straight from the box which serves as a tray itself. Smart, convenient and practical. Ideal as a complete executive meal for office goers as well as for families to enjoy without stepping out of their workplace or home. Perfect if you are planning a working lunch meeting, or at home if one person wants a meal and another a biryani, then both can be delivered to be enjoyed without compromises. Rasonably priced for a full meal, Bhojanam In A Box is a concept box meal packaged for efficient and hassle-free whole meal experience that’s delicious, desirable and droolworthy. A smart packaged meal for the smart generation!

ith Bengaluru, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Air Conditioned City to Aviation Capital to Garden City, this small town turned technopolis has added a new word to the American lexicon: ‘Bangalored’. It means ‘to lose one’s job’ as a result of off shoring work to India. That’s not all. The city is emerging as a medical tourism hub in India by offering ‘First World Service at Third World Cost’. What’s more, the best and the brightest multinationals are spicing up the retail scene by test-marketing large format stores like Reebok, Levi’s, Adidas, Esprit and Nautica. It’s become a ‘yuppie heaven’. Now that’s yet another sobriquet for the city. With the Metro Rail opening in phases, things are getting better by the day. Visit the city and be bowled over.

Get 99.9% accurate musculoskeletal diagnosis and customised treatment, only at Perfect Bounce BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN
F
or the first time in Bangalore, Perfect Bounce the city’s well-known clinic brings you AI in physiotherapy! With the help of this latest-tech AI based device that works like a sensor equipment, you can now get 99.9% accuracy in diagnosis, and thereby closely targetted treatment programme customised to your specific issue. The way it works is that, through AI, your Foot Pressure Analysis is done which can detect very exactly your particular joints problems and musculoskeletal problems including knees, sciatica, sports induced injuries, ankles, foot arch and so on. After this near-exact evaluation, a customised treatment plan can then be prescribed to take care of the affected area. The treatment therefore is not generalised or even localised to a particular joint, but rather works more intensively to treat in a fully focussed fashion the very spot where the problem lies. This is indeed a breakthrough technology in the field of physiotherapy for efficient and maximised patient problem resolution. The application of this has a wide range of uses to determine a musculoskeletal issue before it can become a larger and lingering problem for the person. For sports people especially this is a boon of science. Apart from problems arising out of injuries to the joints, or wear and tear due to age or overuse or incorrect physical habits and postures, even intrinsic issues like having BANGALORE

How AI equipment works: The AI sensor equipment is a smart and portable technology designed for Indian physiotherapists to identify high-pressure zones and determine anomalies in human biomechanics at an early stage of their clinical evaluation. The platform comes integrated with android-based easy-to-use application with a simplified user interface to perform different tests. It provides objective and actionable metrics, and specially designed test modules that enable physiotherapists to plan the way forward for prehab and rehab program for patients. Leading city physiotherapy exponent Dr Richa Singh
the wrong foot arch which leads to pains can be diagnosed. Steps can then be recommended to minimise the foot arch related issues including specified physiotherapy, gait training, maintaining balance, gaining strength, as well as the right kind of orthopaedic footwear to correct the alignment and posture to offer relief. Perfect Bounce, founded and run by one of Bangalore’s leading physiotherapy exponents Dr Richa Singh, has always been at the helm of innovation whether it is through popularising and disseminating other techniques of treatment like Dry Needling, Taping, sports specific treatments and others, or now through deploying a new technology like AI sensor in its clinics for optimum diagnosis and better patient management – always with the singular aim of providing the best possible treatment plans to those who are suffering, with maximised and sustained relief to carry on comfortably with the business of daily living. For all kinds of joints and musculoskeletal issues, simply walk into Perfect Bounce and let Dr Richa Singh work her magic through the tech-enabled diagnostic accuracy and customised treatment solutions. Rediscover comfort and pain-free living.
