It’s still not here, but it’s kind of already here

Even as the excavators pile up debris as tall as the public utility buildings Visvesvaraya Towers for the Namma Metro project, weekend travellers take a trip to nowhere in the new tourist-spot in Bangalore, on Sunday.

The Namma Metro photo portfolio

Yes, it’s for real, and it’s purple and off-white

4 cars, 3 SUVs, 8 bikes, and 16 autorickshaws

Oh God, what have they done to my M.G. Road

Saturdays, girlfriends, popcorn and other memories

Every picture tells a tale. Babu‘s can fill a tome.

Not a picture that will make it to Lonely Planet

Amar, Akbar, Antony. Or Ram, Robert, Rahim

Only a low-angle shot can convey its great girth

Lots of work overground for an underground rail

The unsung heroes in the dreams of Bangaloreans

    I am assuming that the public utility building reference is for the first photograph. Isn’t that building Vishveshwarayya towers near Minsk Square?
