I loved this blog kripal by the way you keep saying that you came in 1996 ans speak of ut as if it was ages ages ago than what about me who came. last to Bangalore in 1978 and only returned to see it in 2018 after a gap of exactly 40 years 😄, you will not believe it back than i never ever ever imagined that Bangalore would turn out to be what it is today , infact bangalore was what is a remote village in india today ,really i mean i remember there was a gap of a thousand yards between two houses 😂. Anyway i too have so many memories of this most beautiful city in india 👏👌👍🙏💐💝🇮🇳
Old Bangalore memories are our Old sweet memories too. Sir suddenly I remembered a place called CASA PICCOLA one of the oldest restaurant in Devatha Plaza, Residency road. Started by Oberoi brothers in 1979.
Thank you for the heartwarming bittersweet ride down old Bengaluru ,Mr.Kripal. Not everyone has good memories of it. But God preserved many of us. But that canopy of trees in the sun remain as peaceful and serene as always. Thank you for your authenticity.
I often do similar rides around Bengaluru to relieve my memories, your video gave me same joy and happinies as if it was I riding around again. Thank you
Kripal Sir....lovely and thank you so much for showing me my love ...the beautiful one and only Bengaluru. When my father arrived in Bangalore in 1976 I was 8 years old...and today at 54 I have spent 46 years in this heaven. I am happy my destiny has kept me here......
Another nice video of old (my) Bengaluru. Your memory of the old airport is from 1996, you say. My first memory goes back to hmmm 1971, :) when we all went to see off my oldest brother going to Canada. In those days you could stand in the back of the building, watch them get on the plane and even see them in the little window of the plane.
Kripal Thank You so much. I think this vlog is especially and personally for me. The airport, MG Road, Brigade Street, Talking about Plaza Theatre. Oh! I miss them so much. I can still figure out the busy streets at night near REX Theatre. About St Marks Church, we used to attend there every Sunday, after the service Sunday School; Oh I Miss it! The Poem 'Give me the eyes of a lad that is gone' by Gustavas Gore (I may be wrong) came into my mind, you're bringing me back to the days when I was a lad, we attended the church in the morning 9:30am Services upto 11:00am I think so. Walking back to school in pairs, we used to buy Kulfi Ice Cream with Rs. 2/- near a petrol pump. DCM Toyota Trucks used to be parked there. (Coming out of St Marks walk a bit then turn left, the shop used to be open....I miss it. Today in the noon and morning, Mizoram is hit by usual May Rainfall (pre-monsoon) and there was no power. I am so happy on this vlog Kripal for craving out my memoirs there. So let me conclude my notes by this poem ' Give me the eyes of a lad that is gone' . THANK YOU SO MUCH, KRIPAL.
Thank you for sharing your memories, Lalthazuala, yes, one can only wish for those days. The kulfi stall by the petrol bunk you refer to was popularly known as the Bowring kulfi. 😋
Will go down as one of my fav videos from your channel sir. Being a native Bangalorean and having grown up around the Old Airport area, your video rekindled so many memories from childhood, right from visiting and taking my first flight from the Old Airport, to Ring Road and Ameoba bowling centre which was one of the most happening places for the young crowd. The erstwhile popular restaurants, pubs and natural beauty of the city flashed before my eyes as you narrated your experiences. I also used to remember MG Road for Kids Kemp, the line of theatres it had (Symphony, Plaza, Galaxy), restaurants like Lakeview, not to forget the walkway on the side where the current metro line runs. Kemp Fort on Old Airport Road, as you mentioned, looked like a Disney Castle and was a dreamy place for us to visit. It is so beautiful to see your connection with the city, truly imbibing the spirit of “Namma Bengaluru”. Thank you for making such beautiful content sir and please continue this series as it will help to showcase the beauty, history and heritage of this city to your viewers, both natives and those who have taken up the city as their new home in the recent few years.
If I remember well, a public was injured by the bullet near Shobha enclave, agraham, next to the firing range of the army used to practice regularly. Though they put red flag with warning boards. The problem is this road is also built between two defence lands.
14:19 That was Krumbiegel 's idea to plant trees with different flowers like pink trumpets in March or Gulmohor in May, etc. Edit: Kempfort old structure still exists, its just covered up with façade.
I went to blr back in'84...stayed till 97......my school was national Rajajinagar...and diploma college was opposite ISRO main gate Marathahalli behind the airport..the A 320 crash happened in front of us... horrible crash....all the memories came flooding back.... thanks for the vlog ❤❤❤❤
Nostalgia moments yes Barton centre was there with lodgings facilities way back in early two decades ago there was Blue Fox Restaurant in shringar shopping centre in MG road with Dance hall opened till 2AM those days cannot forget as a Bangalorean MG road and Brigade road thanks Kripal sir 🌹🌹
I remember... lived in a house overlooking the airport runway back in 99 right after my college. We had a like a wall that separated us!! One of my room mate used to be guitar player... so the airplane noise was our background music for our jam sessions 😀So many memories related to the HAL airport!! 1. Domlur - My first office 2. MG Road - Brindavan hotel in MG Road for one of the best elai oota 3. Barton center - Met my better half 18 years back in the Cafe Coffee day 4. MG Rd / Brigade Rd / Church St / Residency Rd and surrounding.. all the pubs (Purple Haze being our standard hang out), Empire / Imperial after the night outs!! 5. South Bangalore - Life around JP Nagar mini forest.. collection of friends in few apartments... So many names in your vlog that evoked nostalgia.. not to say the "No traffic on roads".. not sure one can experience that in Bangalore any more these days!!
Things were already downhill in 96 Kripal. Late 80s early 90s was the golden period especially MG road, church street, the Brigades,the Residencies those areas. Miss those days 😢
Another breathtaking vlog! Thank you so much for showing us around your beautiful city (Bengaluru) and sharing your precious memories. Happy Safe Riding, Amigo! Stay Blessed!🏍
HMT Showroom in Barton Center used to be bustling with business, though its still there - HMT has lost its value Chutney Chang still leads the buffet places in Bengaluru present in Museum Road
I am belongs to Bangaluru. But nice to see your video on every Sunday because I am very much foodie. Thanks for your video by that we know our culture and people of India.
Hi Kripal Sir, i have always been a fan of your ‘fat boy’ vlogs. This particular episode is one of the best as you have taken us through the rich heritage of Bengaluru. Thanks a lot Sir and i am looking forward to many more of such episodes👍
Lovely to watch this video around the areas I frequent much. My office is on intermediate ring road and drive through the Old airport road few times to office. Also, just yesterday evening I was walking through Church street, Cubbon road, Brigade road, Residency Road.
Kripal sir, You are motivation and living inspiration for average Indian on how to take life on daily basis, it's treat to watch your both TH-cam channels especially related to travel in your name. Message is clear never wait to keep hidden desire to explore world, infact start early and enjoy each moment of journey. Kudos Sir.👌👌👏👏👏
Thanks for driving to my workplace. Already Nostalgic as i would be leaving soon to head for my next venture. This video would best serve all those memories that I can vouch for in future. ❤
Wow , thank you for walking us through old airport road !! 26th Feb 2007 , I flew from same airport to UK it was a happening place then , now it looks no one cares 1. M G road was my daily commute to HAL 2. Brigade Road had Rex Theatre for all good old English movies for us from south Bangalore 3. Barton Center was a posh building and I always thought it was rich people 😅 and not for middle class Thanks for showing us all 🙏
Victoria hotel n the open ground u mentioned was the main meeting point of our old bengaluru don's Kripal sir ...... WOW that was a trip down my memory lane n thanks a lot sir coz even though we pass by these places often there's no time to stand there n remember certain things but after watching u today cruising all the lovely memories came alive ...... Thank u sir 🙏
@kripal - That was a beautiful history lesson. Brings back memories. Especially the restaurants from the BJN group. You should take more such history lessons. 😁
The first Cafe Coffee Day in India was on Brigade Road too. Few buildings down the road, the same side from the one pointed by you sir! :) lovely video! brought back good memories of our lovely city to 90's kid :)
Wonderful vlog. Memories came swarming back. However, you mentioned lakeside.. it actually was called lakeview.. in case they have changed the name now. The best place for ice creams and pizzas and many more.
Thanks for making our every Sunday special..it's my routine to compulsory watch your videos very informative and entertaining..kudos to you Kripal amanna sir
Kripal you are right earlier this INNER Ring Road is a defense property also since HAL Airport was a commercial HUB flights use to land and were flying low. This place also witnessed in Commercial Passenger Aircraft Crash (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Airlines_Flight_605)and as you said even military firing range did hit a commuter. This is Airport I did first fly out of country to US via Bombay. 13th floor and pubs you mentioned was our friend's group special a special Saturday evening 🙂 thank you recollected past memories.
Kripal sir did u ever happen to visit Ullas Refreshments on top of our very own shanakarnag chitra mandira ? Of course the name has changed today coz i used to dine there with my dad during the 90's
Have many many nice memories of this place .Apart from able to view the take off/landing of any flight by paying a nominal amount we used to do when used to see off someone ,whenever we used to feel hungry at night(after binge watching movies in pirated DVD purchased from National Market)me and my friends used to take our bikes and go there to have sandwiches and sometimes proper food which we used to share, also one the places when we felt like smoking cigar or the imported cigarettes we used to purchase from the shops located there 😊😊😊
@@KripalAmannaVlogs definitely sir, to cherish forever and somehow saw a city growing and changing it's landscape completely..even the irctc ticket booking counter at top of 20th floor and the crossword where one could pick up a book and spend hours ..thanks for showing the place The place where you went to have ur first meal also used to have an open air Barista coffee shop
I guess all of us forgot about music world here. It used to be packed man!! I met this stereo nation guy there one evening who sung oh Carol! I guess he passed away recently. RIP . So very old stuff really
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Yes. On Brigade Road, So, in my hometown, the MW premises went through the following change : Music World -> Au Bon Pain -> Spencers -> Nature's Basket . All owned by the same group. I quite liked Au Bon Pain. Didn't run I guess. The food was extremely light on spice , so may be that's 1 reason. Ambience was good.
Hey Kripal! That Army shooting incident you mentioned, that didn't happen in that piece of army real estate. Iblur army camp (Sarjapur/HSR road) is where they have a shooting range and that incident happened there.
Kripal, i dont know you whether remember, there was one very popular chat centre called 'Chit Chat' we used to go there to have aome Paani puri and other chats with ice creams etc...Now, its not there
Very well done, Kripal. You drove through the most popular areas of Blore as I knew it back then. 1st up sad to see the state of old airport, that litter and garbage is not acceptable to be honest. The iconic building you mentioned on the left side on the Residency road was perhaps the Opera house. It had died by the late 90s and we used to eat kebabs in the evenings on our nights out. There was one very famous restaurant where you stopped or around thereabouts Casa Picola, not sure if it still exists. Keep Fort used to be like a Fort but doesn't look it anymore. All in all a very refreshing flash back of 30 years that have flown by. Could you please do Frazer Town, Benson Town, Palace Road on that part of bangalore please? Thanks bro ❤
Yes, you’re right, it was the Opera House, although it had shut doors before I opened. I remember Casa Piccola, their Hungarian goulash, sloppy Joe’s and Don Pepe pizzas too! 😃 Hoping to cover more of Bengaluru on these neighbourhood rides, will keep Frazer Town, Benson Town in mind.
@Kripal Amanna thank you, Casa Picola was a nice little deli (let's call it that). Loving and enjoying every bit of this detailed Bagalore rides. Looking forward to more.
Hi Kripal..just started watching..i think there was also a club called JJs right in front of the airport..if I am not wrong. Buoy! this should be a nostalgia trip for sure. I don't live in Blr no more..so airport still means the old airport to me!
Yup ..ebony ..13th floor..at barton center! i think there was a bakery famous for great breads! was the bombay stores in the same building? or may be it was a near by building. Hey just saw MG Road after ages ..I think they have totally screwed it up with the metro thing. Bdw..i watched american beauty at the symphony..oops..i think it was Plaza...so I am that old. I don't think those exist now.

Nice captures of Bangalore lanes 👍👍👍👍👍
@kripal - That was a beautiful history lesson. Brings back memories. Especially the restaurants from the BJN group. You should take more such history lessons. 😁
At 9:00 you skipped the filth and water logging, i know because, have been there on my cycle rides to wind tunnel road.
Sweet memories bro I feel crying.. I came to Bangalore in 1996 and settled
The discription you gave about the roads and the shops while you were on your favourite bike was interesting and good

The name sounds familiar, although I’m unsure if I’ve visited.
It was called Kids Kemp back in the day.
Kids Kemp was their store on MG Road.
I was in 96.but you not showed Murugesh palya,manipal hospital,Shiva statue,diamond district etc...
We had Plaza, Blue Moon n Galaxy theatres back then sir
