Bangalore, also known as the Silicon Valley of India, is a city that's booming at a massive pace with all the technology, pubs, jobs, and cyber-related industries. We started our journey from Bangalore and visited Mysore, where we stayed at the Grand Mercure Mysore hotel. The picture below shows the rooftop swimming pool we had access to. I have many fond memories of this place, including meeting several KPL (Karnataka Premiere League) cricket players and observing how they work out, but I won't mention their names here.


The Saint Philomena Cathedral in Mysuru is a beautiful place of worship that I had the pleasure of visiting. As someone who enjoys exploring different religions, I find it fascinating to observe the architecture and traditions that have grown into such power and beauty.
One interesting feature of this particular church is the underground pathway that leads into a tunnel. The walls of the tunnel are engraved with the names of people who donated money to build this age-old and majestic Cathedral. I remember hearing Lofi music playing inside, but was taken aback when I saw what appeared to be Mary in a glass tomb at the bottom. I hadn't seen anything like this in any other churches, and it felt a bit gloomy and creepy, so I ran away. However, apart from that, the church was truly amazing and awe-inspiring.

This is a private place where people work on creating sand castles, sand sculptures, and more. It's truly amazing to see what they can create with sand, almost too good to be true!



This photo captures the city view from Nandi Hills, which is a mixture of Mysore and Bangalore. I visited both cities in one stretch, and everything was amazing.
If you go to Mysore, it's a sin not to visit the Mysore Maharaja Palace. The photo below shows the wedding area of the palace, which is incredibly beautiful. Thanks to my amazing camera, I was able to take some stunning and spellbinding pictures.




Look at this woman Queen Alexandra oh my God

I have always wanted to wear a long Lehenga with jewels adorning my neck and hips. I would love to have my hair styled with pretty jewels and a tiara with crowns. I would also love to wear a lot of bangles on both my arms, similar to Deepika Padukone's wedding attire. I can imagine walking in a place like this with nobody around, feeling like the queen of the world.


Not to forget the ISKCON Temple this is the best ISKCON Temple never visited and it is so windy and so cool like I can stay there for hours and hours

One of the most important parts of my journey was attending the storytelling session at night in the Mysore Maharaja Palace. We were told stories about the Mysore Maharaja and how his kingdom evolved, including his battles against the British. Audio recordings accompanied by visuals on the palace building enhanced the experience, and the lights flickered and danced along with the music being played. We enjoyed all of this while sitting on a cool and breezy grass lawn opposite to the palace. It was truly spellbinding!

During a mini-break in the Commercial Street of Bengaluru, I did a lot of shopping and loved every collection of clothes and shoes available there. They were different and cheaper than what's available in my hometown. I highly recommend visiting Mysore and Bengaluru if you haven't already!
