EDIT
Manic monsoon moods Every Bangalorean’s second pet peeve (the first being traffic without doubt) is the unpredictable weather. Always in general, but these days in particular, when the rain has been behaving like an unreliable lover. Is it there? Not there? Or there partially? Appearing suddenly without warning, and leaving as suddenly without much ado. You just cannot trust it. And yet you love it. What a bind.
The Bangalore rains have been behaving like an unpredictable lover
That dubious comparison notwithstanding, the monsoons seem to be here to please and torment in equal measure. One minute there is bright sunshine and you decide to seize the day and step out with vim and vigour, and just as you hit the road, without any indication, the clouds gather at an alarming speed and let loose on unsuspecting pedestrians. The ones with foresight and armed with umbrellas are saved beneath its black wings with a practised swish of the button. While the rest are forced to run helter-skelter looking for shelter. But it’s short lived, the Bangalore rains. Unlike in Mumbai or Chennai or the northern plains where it can pour for hours or days on end without any let up, here in namma city it plays a game of hide and seek. A cloudburst, a quick shower, a thundering downpour, and then it’s gone soon enough. The cloudy weather has been lingering lately though. Gloomy to some. Romantic to others. And plain annoying to many. Finally how you see it depends on your own state of mind. But also on whether you are stuck in traffic somewhere in the middle of it all.

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.

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.

PARTY
HIT THE HIGH NOTES Pubs, clubs, lounge bars...
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. Please call the pub/restaurant to confirm.

WELLNESS FEATURE
Now, Artificial Intelligence in Physiotherapy!
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

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. 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.
