Going back to the Mysore Days !!!

Mysore or Mysuru....
A small town (though it is the 2nd biggest city of Karnataka i love it as a small town) ....with a rich and colourful history and heritage....
A few hours away from the city life of the IT hub Bangaluru, the capital city of Karnataka..lies this quiet place..the Cultural capital of Karnataka...
the not so wide roads but the so wide smile of the people would definitely attract you to be a part of the living and the celebrations always...
Brindawan garden-the musical fountains, the Krishnarajsagar dam, Mysore palace(Amba Vilas), Jagamohana Palace(the painters paradise), Lalitha Mahal(now a hotel) , Chamundi hills (the abode of ma Chamundeswari), the Mahisasur and the Nandi at Chamundi hills, St. Philomena's church, the Mysore Zoo( a place for so many species) , Srirangapatnam summer palace (made completely of wood) , the Mysore university (it has the Crawford hall and the Jayalakshmi Vilas-the folk museum), Bandipur and Nagarhole National Parks home to lots of different species of Birds , Animals and Reptiles (deers, monkeys, elephants and varieties of birds-these are what i have seen there ^-^, i guess some more must be there) and the recent attraction of modern times is the Infosys campus...
The Dasara is Mysore is worth a watch...the beautifully decorated Elephants, the Vintage car exhibition and the Motorbike show are special attraction of the time....
Mysore palace on Sunday evenings look stunning,.. breath taking sight with the millions and zillions of bulbs....
The early morning sunrise from the Chamundi hills makes the city come alive....
The traffic police on Devaraja Urs road on there handsome horses would make u stand and watch them with eyes filled with surprise.....
and of all things how can anyone forget the mouth watering MysorePaks ...mmmm....

i love this place as much i love my hometown..it just feels so good to be there...
modern life blended so well with its history ......is Mysore....
