Your favourite city mag turns 13!

While the whole world is meandering through the much touted ‘new normal’ with all its unprecedented rules and restrictions, we believe still the show must go on.

EDIT

In these most extraordinary times, Travel & Shop has completed 13 years of existence, encapsulating Bangalore in the magazine as a microcosm of useful information, directions and a comforting ally and a go-to guide for city residents and visitors alike.

completes

Over these interim years, Bangalore became Bengaluru, namma metro got established, we got app based taxis and autos, all woman cabs, flyovers got built and shelved amidst controversies, the city got spruced up and spoilt in equal measure, we evolved and metamorphosed and transformed… in short the only constant was change.

13 years in

Through it all, Travel & Shop was a chronicler and encoder of the evolving times.

Bangalore!

The next few months are still a question mark. While we are trying to make tentative moves towards opening up society and economy gingerly, at the same time the threat of the novel coronavirus is still looming large and the fear factor is far from over. Like the proverbial sword of Damocles, the C-word is hanging over our heads as we hope and pray that it doesn’t fall on us!

Travel & Shop

Wait and watch is the only mantra to follow in the current situation. And of course, let’s err on the side of caution when it comes to taking safety precautions to keep ourselves, our families and fellow human beings free and healthy.

Even though we may be socially distanced, our readers and patrons are still close to our hearts and we look forward to happier times. Lockdown cannot keep us locked down forever!

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.

T

he city is famous for its bars and pubs.

It’s called the Beer Capital of India. With good reason. But the best reason to pub hop?

It’s cosmopolitan crowd and the niche pubs that serve a select clientele. There are lounge spaces for the ladies, retro lovers and jazz enthusiasts. Not to mention, resto-bars, sports bars, roof-top bars, hookah bars, dance bars and cigar lounges for the casual and adventurous. Not to mention, the city’s first wine boutique pub. Reason enough to rewind, reboot and restart.

•Alcohol may not be served at some of these places, as per Supreme Court regulation.

Silk sarees, handicraft, home decor, books...

W

ith the city’s High Street keeping strides with the ever-mushrooming malls, Bengaluru has taken retail therapy to a new high. No longer is the city confined to the central business districts of MG Road and Commercial Street or the traditional business districts of Majestic and KR Market. Malls, boutiques and department stores have mushroomed in every nook and cranny, bringing comfort goods closest to you. If you are new to the city, your visit isn’t complete without a visit to its silk and jewellery hotspots. Not to mention, handicraft stores for their sandalwood and antique masterpieces.

engaluru is a metaphor of an India that has arrived on the global scene. And this begins with worldclass self-sustaining ‘mixed use’ townships. Not to mention, smart digital homes that let you control your household appliances, lights and even the garage door from the comfort of your office. All you need to do is press a button or swipe a card. That’s making the most of smart technology where Wi-Fi enabled houses can automatically take care of all your household needs like dusting, cooking, laundry, bathroom, security and entertainment. You can not only watch what’s happening at home through Wi-Fi enabled webcams but also control the temperature of your fridge and microwave.

This is your very own Utopia. Make the most of it.
