Unveiling the Glorious Lakes of Bangalore

By Anusha

Bangalore, a city of dreams, of people from all across the world coming together to make those dreams a reality. The city is a popular choice when it comes to career options, people not just prefer the city for the prominent corporate brands that provide jobs but also for the beauty the city offers. Among the few cities in India that continues to have many scenic gardens and lovely lakes even with a new tech-park emerging every few months. The scenic surroundings complimented by the lovely weather, a slight drizzle, some hot coffee and samosas is how a typical evening in Bangalore turns to bliss.

The increased population, traffic and pollution has affected what was once the paradise for retired people. It is now on the brink of making commercial decisions that might affect the beauty of life as we know it in the city. However, some places still hold out hope, that the charm that was Bangalore, will indeed remain forever. We are referring to the lakes that support a variety of avian and aquatic life as well as provide the much-needed breathing space in the industrialised city. As travellers and residents scamper off to the fancy malls and cinemas, here is an opportunity for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts to make a journey of a more rewarding kind. A journey through the lakes of Bangalore.
