FROM LALBAGH TO FORUM

1990 - 2000

Summer holidays during school days is a big thing for any school kid. Its either school kids go abroad or they go to their native. But, for me once in a while, it meant stay at home and wait for my relatives to come from Mumbai and Chennai to visit me here in Bangalore/Bengaluru. It used to be fun filled week. Apart from playing antakshari and family get together parties, one thing was very prominent i.e, a visit to Lalbagh. Whenever my cousins came to Bangalore/Bengaluru, one evening in Lalbagh was must and should which was followed by delicious tiffin in MTR.

2001 - 2016

Now a days, whenever my relatives come to Bangalore/Bengaluru, the concept of playing antakshari is completely vanished. Lalbagh is being substituted by malls like Forum and Orion mall. We go to a mall, do window shopping, catch a movie and dine in Pizza hut.
