Continuing the list of Bangalore Localities, this time the focus is on the differently named areas of Bangalore.
Here is a list of them.
Yelahanka
MadiVaaLa
PeeNya
Malleswaram
Nagavaara
Nagarabhaavi
Audugodi
Horamavu
HuLimaavu
Kadugodi
Anekal
Attibele
DoDDabele
Attiguppe
Kengeri
Kathriguppa
Whitefield
Agaram
DoDDakannelli
Kengeri
Hoody
Any idea why these places are named so? I know for sure that Malleswaram got its name from the Kadu Malleswara Swamy temple of the locality.
Readers…please throw some light on this.

They usually give half a day’s notice, and insist that the girl be present, her office, her [...]

Saraswathi Namastubhyam
Varade KaamaruupiNi

Ok, this is again one of those “this happened to me” posts. “This Happened to me” was a regular feature in the Tinkle Comics I loved to read.
Fine. Now, on with the story.
This is not a childhood story; it happened some 8-9 years ago, in my current residence.
