Images, like words, are slaves at the hands of cliches and stereotypes. Therefore, the sunrises and sunsets in our mind’s-eye are usually silhouettes between hills with a lake or river in front, or through a magnificent structure, with some “love birds” fluttering away as a couple of flowers peck at each other.
But what when the locale is Kalasipalyam in Bangalore with eagles and vultures hovering above?

If this picture is “downmarket,” lemme tell you it’s definitely not for the beautiful “eagles and vultures”!

They are all Congress vultures…looking for some votes under that tower in the background…

Kalisipalya is beautiful at wide angle and that too only at dusk.

KPN, your CCD in the camera needs a cleaning!

This is above the fish and meat market. It’s full of rich pickings for these lovely birds.

The political class which ruled us want our multitudes to be ignorant and disease-ridden slumdogs. When world has moved ahead our local netas want the so called “chity market” full of sh!t and disease causing pathogens in heaps of garbage. See the crows and vultures flying in the background. That is Bengaluru for you; a gift handed down through generations of (un)civic authorities starting from the Wodeyars time. Travel further down on a rainy day into Kalaasipalyam Bus-stand, where even swines with flu won’t dare to step in the slush there! Thank you Churumuri for showing Bengaluru its place!
