I realize local road travel, especially taxi, is always more expensive (time and money) than long distance rail travel, but this #atrocity in and around #Bengaluru #India: 😒

Train, long distance: 386kms, 4.5 hrs, ₹1980 for two.
Taxi, home to station: 30kms, 1.5 hrs, ₹1100 for two.

Even James Bond seeks Lord Shreeniwaasa's blessings on Saturdays. 🙇‍♂️ 😉

Today morning in #Bengaluru. The markings at the top of the altar entrance is common in Shreeniwaasa temple, especially those operated by the "Iyengaar" sect.

(Interesting name on the man's jersey BTW. #iykyk)

Vivid colors and beauty almost everywhere you look. Feels good to be back in #India, hopefully for a long-ish stay this time. 🚜

"Respect for good traits. Kingly respect for money."
- A bumper sticker

The sticker is in #Kannada, the local language in #Bengaluru #India. The word in red is misspelled (says "raajaa" instead of "raaja") but still 🫡

Many in South India dedicate Saturdays to Lord Shreeniwaasa (aka Wenkataesha). They offer special prayers to him at home, visit his temple, sing his praise, take his "prasaada" (blessings).

Alt text has a brief of what's in this picture (taken May 11, 2026 #Bengaluru).

It's all relative.
- If you grew up in Bengaluru, you'll despise what it has become. 😤
- If you moved to Bengaluru from Delhi OTOH. ☺️

Sharing Space: People and Wildlife in Bengaluru's Home Gardens
by Varsha Bhaskaran

She found a cobra in her garden. She didn't call a snake catcher. She avoided that part of the garden for a few days. 🌿
