But looking at what it has today, it is a paradise of a different kind. Pensioners like me surely don’t have to go anywhere else to shop”.
What seemed like a nondescript way to reach farm houses and the then ‘picturesque’ Hennur Bande…a decade ago, is turning out to be a mash of colorful life, far beyond what one could have been imagined!
The road actually originates at Lingarajapuram with the famous Dr. Chandrashekar Institute of Speech and Hearing as a popular flag post and meanders into a serpentine one with small commercial establishments, the famous Chennakesava Temple onto the ‘bosom’ of HRBR Layout 3rd Block!

It is not just about shops and eateries, many established builders have seen the potential this road and its surrounding areas have and invested in luxury apartment constructions. Already built ones are filling up quickly. A wide road and constant efforts from the local corporation to widen and smoothen it out is making it a pleasure to ride over the road. It is also the secret route to help people reach the airport faster!
For a place that is seen to be isolated from the city, the Hennur Main Road and beyond is sure to show you how accessible a place can be for people from all walks and talks of life. A road whose character is inconsistent, yet intriguing all the same… K Ramya ramsdom@gmail.com CMYK

‘Akshaya Trithiya’ – A reminder of our responsibility for purchasing gold or silver!
T h is d ay is co n s id ered Many people do not always auspicious to start new ventures or recognize the necessity and importance of
procure valuables. The mythological belief is that the good will replicate because of the auspicious nature of the day. Gold and silver were considered noble possessions since ages. Looking in the last 100 years history of gold, the appreciation in its monetary value has been constantly present, and it has proved itself as a good investment. All throughout the history, gold has been looked as an ‘investment’ towards financial emergencies. So the importance of purchasing gold whenever possible is blatant. Going by this logic…one does not need a particular day
Indians are great lovers
and admirers of gold Jewelry! This is further accentuated by the fact that, we are the world’s largest importers of gold!
Considering this metal to be auspicious and it is a great idea that we have a festival dedicated to this metal called ‘Akshya Tritiya’, when we bring home this noble metal into our homes, a sign of auspice and wealth. But the people

investing in gold! It is a simple necessity, in past, present and in future too! So one day, which was mythologically significant, was dedicated to encourage the purchase of valuables and doing other good deeds which is ‘Akshaya Trithiya’.
So the realization
of this intent behind the occasion is important and need to be kept in mind! P Narasinga Rao, M/s. P Gopala Rao Sons, Jewellers, Kasturi Nagar Ph: 2542 8801
world think that gold is always synonymous with wealth and riches. They consider it as investment rather than personal use. This may be a reason why they are economically more stronger than us and have certain hold on fixing gold rate are impact on the gold market. But surprisingly even though India is the largest importers we have no hold on the bullion market. We look “Gold Market” in a “different” way! As I already discussed in my earlier articles, we should recognize the necessity and importance of investing in gold.
