A pleasant morning at Cubbon Park, Bangalore

Recently I was in Bangalore. I decided to spend few morning hours at Cubbon Park. Idea was to wander aimlessly in side the park and click some pictures of green.

I had not gone to this park before though I come from this place - believe me.

The day I visited there was marathon run going on. Hence there were few road diversions and lot of runners through the park.

Please do not miss the last paragraph.

Enjoy the pictures now :











There is a dais in side the park. There were music and classical dance concerts going on in the morning. It was very nice.




At the end of my aimless walk, I thought I would taste some fresh cut fruit salad. 

There is nothing special about this fruit bowl. However the lady who was selling this was very special and caught my attention. Surely the lady was a local resident and from farming background. Not sure if she was formally educated. She was surely kind hearted, well mannered and service oriented. 

While I was munching the fruit pieces, few slices of banana fell off from my bowl. She having noticed it, cut more pieces from another banana and filled my bowl. She did not ask for additional money. 

As I said before there were lot of people running marathon, puffing, panting, gasping..... Some of them approached this lady for pinch of salt and she generously handed the pinch of salt for many of those runners, freely.

It is a small incident and can easily be ignored. Some how I felt I should record in my write up here. I did not click her picture. Her action is imprinted in my memory.
