Mysore Masala Dosa & More: A Culinary Trail Through Royal Taste

Image
 Mysore Masala Dosa & More   Mysore isn’t just a city of palaces and history it’s a flavorful journey waiting to be devoured, one crispy dosa at a time. If you’ve ever taken that first bite of a piping hot Mysore masala dosa, you already know: it's not just breakfast—it's an experience. The city has a way of feeding both your hunger and your soul. Let’s take a little culinary walk through the royal streets of Mysore, one delicious stop at a time. Golden, crisp, and slightly red from the spicy chutney spread inside—it’s different from the regular masala dosa you’ll find elsewhere. You’ll find it in local legends like: • Mylari Dosa (Original Vinayaka Mylari) – soft, pillow-like dosas cooked in ghee, served with a gentle potato masala and chutney. • RRR (Rao’s Refreshment Room) – perfect for that local canteen-style experience. • Gayathri Tiffin Room – a spot for morning crowds and masala cravings. So next time you're in Mysore, skip the fancy restaurants for a day....

Bangalore Palace: A Royal Echo in a Modern City

 Bangalore Palace   Bangalore is a city full of contrasts gleaming tech parks beside centuries-old trees, street food stalls across from glassy malls, and bustling roads leading to places where time seems to have paused. One such place is the Bangalore Palace. Step inside its gates, and suddenly, the city’s noise fades. What replaces it is a sense of grandeur, quiet dignity, and timeless beauty. Built in 1878, the Bangalore Palace was inspired by England’s Windsor Castle. And it shows from its Tudor-style architecture to its ornate wood carvings, stained glass windows, and winding staircases originally purchased by the Wadiyar dynasty, the palace served as a private residence for the royal family. Today, it stands not just as a monument to the past, but as a storybook you can walk through Every room, every hallway, feels like a whisper from history. In a city that never stops moving, Bangalore Palace is a moment of stillness—a reminder of where the city came from, even as it r...

Ranga Shankara: Where Theatre Breathes

 Ranga Shankara   Tucked away in the calm neighborhood of JP Nagar, Ranga Shankara is more than just a theatre. It’s a space where stories come alive—not just on stage, but in the hearts of everyone who walks through its doors. Established in 2004 as a tribute to the late actor Shankar Nag, this intimate, 300-seater auditorium has become the soul of theatre in Bangalore. Plays are performed here almost every evening, and they span languages, styles, and genres—from Kannada classics to bold experimental dramas, from Shakespeare to socially charged monologues. The best part? The ticket prices are intentionally kept low. Why? Because theatre, according to the vision of Ranga Shankara, should be accessible to all. It’s not about exclusivity—it’s about inclusion. You can come here with zero expectations, and leave deeply moved. That’s the magic. Bangalore is often seen as a tech city. And while that’s true, there’s also this quiet, powerful undercurrent of creativity flowing throug...

Why You Feel Drained After Scrolling

 Why You Feel Drained After Scrolling.?   We live in a world where connection is just a swipe away. With a single thumb flick, we can jump from someone’s vacation in Italy to a stranger’s heartbreak, to a viral dance, to breaking news, to a meme that makes us laugh out loud. Social media gives us access to everything, everywhere, all at once. But here's the strange thing: after spending just 10 or15 minutes scrolling, many of us feel… exhausted. Not physically, but mentally. We shut off the screen, stare at the ceiling, and wonder why we feel so hollow. Social media drains us not because of what we do on it, but because of how much we consume in a short amount of time. Our brains are built for linear, focused experiences conversations, books, real-life moments. But in the digital world, we experience emotional whiplash. In just a few minutes, we jump through dozens of emotional states: joy, envy, sadness, excitement, guilt, anger, curiosity, and more. We’re constantly comparin...
