Budget bloom, Turkiye gloom
Finance Minister Nirmala Seetharaman’s presentation of the Union Budget for the coming financial year is on point, aimed at strengthening India’s economic status in its landmark 75th year of Independence.
The world has heaped praise on the Indian economy as a ‘bright star’ with its economic growth estimated at 7 per cent – the highest among all major economies. We seem to be on the right trajectory towards a robust and dynamic economy, to reinforce the government’s ambitious vision of ‘Amrit Kaal’. More power to them.
Meanwhile Turkey, or officially Turkiye since May 2022, has suffered mankind’s worst ever earthquake that has wreaked havoc on an epic scale with horrific death and destruction everywhere, claiming 35,000 lives and still counting. The world has rallied around with aid and assistance, some small balm to mitigate this humongous tragedy.
When Nature decides to unleash its fury, whether earthquakes or tsunamis or volcanic eruptions, we human beings become helpless in its wake, mere pawns in a celestial game, flies to the gods. There is no recourse or remedy.
Just a not-so-gentle reminder of our place in the cosmic scheme of things.

GETTING AROUND TOWN
Tour operators, forex, visa assistance, helplines...
Bengaluru
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.

25 years of The Residency Towers
Giving hospitality international flavour along with Indian culture
By Smiti Jain Narayan
The Residency Towers was established in Coimbatore in the year 1997 as the first star hotel of the city. It was set up as a 4-star deluxe hotel offering a luxury experience that was hitherto not seen here. It was quite literally the harbinger of the star hospitality hotels of Coimbatore and the fore-runner of all luxury hotels that followed.
25 years of name, fame and a loyal customer base earned through its outstanding service standards and superior hospitality experience, have made The Residency Towers into a name to reckon with and a shining beacon of the luxury hotel culture. Its success story in Coimbatore gave other star hotels the confidence to venture into this city with their brand.
BANGALORE 2023 | FEBRUARY SECOND HALF| 21
COVER STORY
Over the years The Residency Towers went on to build a very strong reputation in the market for its personalised service, good food and warm hospitality. The hotel has gained so much through the loyalty of its clientele who come back again and again. In fact, the initial customers who had come to stay here as children accompanying their parents and elders, are today young adults themselves and opt for The Residency Towers for staying or dining. It’s their place of choice for celebrating their special events including weddings and other functions. The happy memories they created as kids have stayed on in their minds and The Residency Towers has thus created a special place in their heart for them to come back to it again as adults. A whole generation of beautiful relationships created through the sheer power of service and hospitality from the heart!
In 2018 The Residency Towers went through complete renovation in all quarters from rooms to lobby to fittings and dining areas, in order to upgrade its facilities and offer guests a renewed, refurbished hotel experience to come to. After the renovation, The Residency Towers has been classified as 5-star deluxe in the hospitality segment. Apart from a
complete facelift, latest technology has also been integrated into the hotel’s facilities, as well as the décor, colour scheme, look and feel of the whole property has been overhauled. Bringing technology for better service and comfort, the bathroom and electrical fittings, automation in the rooms for curtains, lights, TV, everything on one’s own i-Pad in the room are some additional smart features added for a seamless and enjoyable luxury stay here. It’s a tailor-made deluxe experience for the tech-savvy younger lot, at the same time it is user-friendly for older generation too who may not be tech oriented. Everything is well planned and thoughtfully created for a complete relaxing and rejuvenating 5-star luxury with genuine comforts.

Parks, landmarks, places of religious interest...
WithBengaluru, 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.

HIT THE HIGH NOTES
Pubs, clubs, lounge bars...
The 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.

Withthe 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.
