Promising starts The start of the year seems to have shaken the powers-that-be out of their slumber.

EDIT

As evidenced in the unique and laudable, and dare-one-say much-needed, initiative to launch an all woman taxi service, catering only to women in Bengaluru.

Pink taxis are a smart, strategic solution to women’s safety issues

These pink taxis have been launched with a current fleet of 10 vehicles and 20 exclusively women drivers to ferry only women passengers to and from the Kempegowda International Airport. Fully equipped AC cabs, these are a welcome arrangement for the woman on the move, who may be uncomfortable with a regular taxi (read: driven by a male), at odd hours.

A strategic initiative of KSTDC (Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation) in partnership with BIAL (Bengaluru International Airport Limited), it’s a smart solution to a problem faced by many women travelling alone at night to catch a red-eye flight or returning home from the airport at a non-peak hour when safety becomes a real concern, given the city’s past statistics on these matters. It’s a step in the right direction towards greater woman empowerment too, with women drivers in the pink taxis making a good headway in the hitherto largely male bastion.

It’s a good start, and slowly the pink taxis plying are sure to increase in number as their popularity increases.

The colour pink, though a feminine stereotype, will make it easy to spot in a crowd.

More power to the ladies, and to the authorities who had the vision to initiate this service!

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.

To make last-mile connectivity easier, the Bengaluru Metro has reintroduced rental bikes at specific stations. This initiative was taken a couple of years back but lost its charm due to low demand.

It has been reinstated making life so much easier for regular commuters. You can rent a bike for as low as Rs 10 per hour, without any constraints or deposits.

Auto-rickshaws are Bangalore’s ubiquitous mode of transport, easy to hail down, with the metre box that declares the fare fairly. Ideal to use for short distances, or even long ones for that matter, or as a transit transport to get to the metro station.

BUSES

Bangalore has a vast network of BMTC buses plying within the city. The best way is to check locally for routes and bus numbers to reach a particular destination.

Be prepared for some wait time though.

METRO

The Bangalore metro rail system offers good connectivity and speed, and is especially useful for cross-city commute to avoid road traffic. Regulars can opt for a metro pass that can be loaded with currency and swiped at stations.

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.

Eastern exotica EXPLORE THE ORIENTAL WORLD IN THRILLING THAILAND

BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN Thailand has it all – great weather, wonderful people, beautiful sights, thrilling water sports, traditional temples and never-say-sleep nightlife.

It’s a mesmeric melting pot of the exotic and the exhilarating rolled into one.

If beaches and water is your thing then Pattaya is the dream destination to head to.

Vibrant and touristy, it’s your idea of the Orient coming alive. Woozy, warm weather with salty air wafting across town, Pattaya is tailor-made for tourism and travel.

Let your hair down on the fine white sandy stretches with crystal blue waters that are

36 | JANUARY SECOND HALF| 2019

alive with motor boats, water skis, ferries, fishing dinghies, liners, and water babies of all shapes, sizes and ages splashing and sporting and frolicking with abandon.

Dive with the fishes, take an under-sea walk with oxygen mask suits, go deep sea diving, or para sailing, hang gliding, jet skiing, snorkelling, speed boating – there are endless water adventures you can indulge in, in inviting Pattaya.

Or you may prefer to just chill on the beach, soaking in the sun and sand as you sink your teeth into the succulent corn on the cob, bite into the fleshy, fragrant mango, pineapple and other fruity delights, and sip

BANGALORE

on the sweetest coconut water this side of the tropics. Oh, and do try the incredible foot massage that invariably will be offered to the lounging lot.

Bangkok, capital of Thailand and the typical buzzing, bustling big city, is a metropolitan at heart but touristy in soul.

Astonishingly grand Buddha temples and stupas, shining in brilliant gold and intricately architectured glory are breathtaking and awe-inspiring. “Buddha is not for decoration” signs proclaim everywhere, underlining their deep devotion and sensitivity to their divine deity, discouraging you from buying a Buddha replica as a memento.

For non-vegetarian foodies, there is no limit to what you can eat. The stalking streets, the charming restaurants, the busy beachsides, the snazzy shopping malls – every place is full of fleshy, skewered bites of just about anything and everything that ever

BANGALORE

walked, crawled, swam or flew. It’s hard to know what you may be eating as any meaningful conversation in English can be a challenge, though possible, with much gesturing and nodding, oohs and aahs, and high-pitched accented utterances as both sides try hard to decipher the other.

The nightlife is another world, a whole underbelly of nocturnal entertainment with a funfair kind of feel on the streets with performers, jugglers, soliciting, food, drinks, merriment, music and much, much more.

It’s a surreal world that never sleeps.

Also, shop also for an ocean of electronics at Bangkok at half prices as long as you don’t ask for guarantees or warranties.

Thailand is truly tailored for tourism and caters to tourists of all types and tastes.

There’s much to do and experience in this buzzing, yet orderly, la-la-land.

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.

Oriental surprise FINE DINE FEASTING WITH A VIEW, AT GING ORIENTAL BAR & KITCHEN

Ging has transformed into a dream location fine dining restaurant cum bar with a mesmerising view of the Ulsoor Lake and the lush green cover.

Ging serves a predominantly Chinese cuisine with Asian influences including Malaysian and a bit of Thai and the Oriental delights that have carved a niche and won the hearts of the city’s foodies.

Restaurant Manager - Peter Brian Chocolate, which is a wondrous cake with a ball of chocolate covering it, and chocolatey syrup melted over it. This is pure chocolate bliss.

Ging also offers a Power Lunch menu especially for executives, all days except Sundays which is great value for money for the right kind of working lunch.

From 5pm to 9pm every day is Happy Hours where you get one drink free for every one drink you order on IMFLs. There are 115 covers in total, with smoking and non-smoking areas, and al fresco seating options, and one separate dining space on another level for a large group.

FOOD FEATURE

Oriental food with all its palate-pleasing preparations.

In the evenings, drop by for a round of drinks with colleagues or friends in an ambience that allows for easy conversations to flow along with bar bites and liquors across all categories – from Champagne and imported wines to all varieties of IMFLs in the well-stocked bar.

Choose Ging also for the perfect dining space for family dinners with divine food designed to delight.

Signature dishes at Ging include the very popular Red Chilli Chicken cooked in Chinese style, Tossed Prawn Thai Basil, dim sums in many exotic varieties, spicy chilli basil in vegetarian, Malaysian coconut based gravies and more.

Starters are available with plenty of choice.

Highly recommended are the Chilli Corn Kernels that’s a delicious starter. Try also the Malay laska soup with noodles in a coconut base with Thai herbs to release that crisp flavour. If you are a seafood buff, then you will love the lobster, crab, prawn and steamed fish preparations here.

The burnt garlic fried rice is another chef recommendation.

In desserts, do try the Mochi ice cream, a unique Japanese style sweet, flavoured dish.

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.

f you’ve never been to these places around Bengaluru, you are definitely missing something. There’s Bannerghatta National Park for the butterfly park, tiger and lion safari, Shivanasamudram for its waterfalls during July and August, hill station Devarayanadurga, Hesaraghatta for its boating and windsurfing opportunities, Ramohalli for the fabled big banyan tree spread over 4 acres, Shivaganga hill for trekking and mountain climbing, Channapatna for its wooden toys, Mekedatu for its picturesque locale where river Cauvery offers an awe-inspiring sight and Kolar Gold Fields, the world’s deepest gold mine. If you want to visit any of these places, one call to a tour operator or even a car rental service should do the trick.
