MY CONNECTION TO AN INDIAN CRICKET LEGEND IN THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD! Vlog 179 

Most people these days are becoming egoistic...More people like Balachandran should be in the society.

If I were given a boon of having anybody's spoken English prowess in the entire world, it would most certainly be this man's. Impeccable command over the language!

Yes Kripal people like Balchander do make a mark with their honesty & simplicity

I used to live in Koramangala 8th block near NGV signal during the transition from my collage days and stepping into my work career in 2012-2014. Used to walk on these streets admiring the villas and enjoying the well maintained parks. Unfortunately, I had to move out of Bangalore post 2014. Thanks for reviving those memories for me. ❤ Not to forget Mr. Balchandra I'm surprised that such people still exist in Bangalore.

Absolutely loved this one. I lived in Kormangla in one of the PG accommodations in the late 90s. I remembered the Raheja Residency and Arcade so thanks for taking us through those areas. But the landscape has definitely changed. I remember that Koramngla outside of summer months ths was literally swamped with mosquitoes. Just horrible.

Hi Kripal sir. Loved this vlog, Mr. Balachandran made this vlog really special. We need to be like him! Lots of love ❤

I loved watching this vlog. Specially Mr. Blachandran made the vlog very special

When one like u is generous and humble, all around you are the same. Same thing applies to the boss.

Awesome, You made to go back to my career starting days and the place where I spend most of my happiest moments. Please continue and do this kind of vlogs

Hi Kripal, i used to stay in the lane behind Anchal as a bachelor 23 years ago. Your puttering through these lanes brought back those memories.

Even I stayed in Koramangala before pandemic as a doctor sir…Koramangala is just love…..I use to ride all the lines u have been….nostalgic

Enjoyed thoroughly Sir. Feel like a pillion rider on a Sunday morning ride through the cool streets of Bengaluru ... Er let me say .. blocks, crosses and mains, which sounds like Greek and Latin initially. Hoping to see you do more such vlogs. And would be great if you can include a little surprise chat or meet with people

Kind hearted souls like Balachander are the people who have given character to Namma Bengaluru and has attracted so many outsiders to this great city of ours. A Short tour of Koramangala was fantastic, but you do best is review food 🙂

I'm appreciating your neighbourhood bike tours.

Good bunglows with greenery all around. No where in the world you will find such a nice neighbour hood.. Enjoy your ride.. Take care and be safe with your family🌱🌿🍀☘️🌴

Kripal interesting we forget the locality as days passed. You were there and seen the diff and was nice of you sharing the details similar vlogs will help to rediscover the locality. Thank you

Thanks to your vlogs, it has taken me back to my struggling days looking for a job and later working in Koramangala. It's nice to see some of those old eateries and the canopy of trees.

Thanks for this! Grew up in 3rd Block, so this brought back memories!

Nice to see people like Mr. Balachandran are in our society.

I do this in my locality just to reminisce my childhood days. Ride around the places I have lived in. ❤

Awesome👍

Mr Balachander, made this video special. Thank you Siri

You have rode on motorcycle and i ride on my bicycle on almost every single lane you passed quite often... I wish i meet you someday in koramangala...

I used to visit Koramangala a lot as a kid and had several family stayovers at my fathers friends house in 5th block between the 70s to 90s. I left Bangalore and India around that time and recently drove through Koramangala on my way to Pondicherry by car. Stopping over for breakfast. It was completely unrecognisable and I had no idea where I was. Even watching your videos I vaguely could figure out. Do continue these neighbourhood vlogs. I used to pride myself as knowing Bangalore like the back of my hand. But in 20 years it’s gone through a lot.

Sir, please do this for many localities in Bangalore. You are creating a time capsule. 10 years down the line, these will be so interesting to watch.

Hi Kripal, thank you for this lovely vlog! Brought back old memories of Bangalore.

Nice Sunday morning ride through Forum Mall > Hole in the wall> Property of "The Wall"

Super vlog sir

Your vocabulary mind blowing

Nice vlog Sir! You should ride around HSR Layout next Sunday which is my neighborhood.

Do such neighbourhood episodes.very interesting

Sunday di Gedi.......✌❤

Good to see good old koramangla, these were the roads I walked and cycled to school and playgrounds. Thank you. 🙏

please do a local ride in hrbr layout(kalyan nagar), kammanahalli, banaswadi, tc palya, rm nagar, kasturi nagar, horamavu, kalkere, nagavara etc. and also please do a video on al-amanah rolls in kammanahalli which is a very popular establishment

Thanks a ton Kripal for taking us in and around Kormangala. Also thanks for giving a glimpse of St John's Medical College and Hospital. That's where I was born. 😊😊😊

Hole in the Wall and The Wall! 😊Would be nice to have a vlog with The Wall sometime.

This was a good episode, try doing a vlog in areas just mentioning the eateries around and if have a hault in traffic, just highlight the outline of that eatery just like a casual talk

Koramangala vegetable, fruit and flower market is something that always attracted me....a riot of colours and mixed smell, just puts behind the cramped feeling of the market.....and about the vlog, I was your pillion rider, exploring the neighbourhood along with you 🎉

Very nice one. Please continue more like this one

Have good sleep and wish u good health

Hey Kripal... Continue to do such vlogs... Maneuver the bylanes of Malleshwaram

Sathya's is still in Kormangala! They've shifted in the same street at Hole in the Wall Cafe, just a bit ahead of them. Still the best place for sports night and cheap eats to catch up with friends over a few beers!

I miss Bangalore,

Sir please throw some light on how you have command on such exceptional english. Also please tell us how you have an array of impeccable vocabulary.? Love you sir.

7:05 most satisfying emotion. Sending love to Mr. Balachandran.😊 Great memories happen when you don't know when you're going.🥰 I loved every one of the videos you uploaded from both channels - Food Lover TV & Kripal Amanna.🥰👍 Keep doing what makes you happy. Take care, and happy safe riding, Amigo!🏍😉

Was just watching your Slr- previous vlog and this vlog popped up👍

Raheja arcade was the only big building earlier called by people as Raheja building.Sri Milk factory was located opp.i feel uncomfortable in Koramangala as it looks more modern.& Posh

❤

Lived in Koramangala since 1979, I now live in Sydney. I am heading back to Sydney tonite after a short 2 week visit in Bengaluru. There is no better place in the world than Koramangala. It has a different vibe altogether. I also visited the India Sweet House couple of days ago and relished the Lychee Rabdi that you highly recommended. Thank you for this wonderful vlog and tour of Koramangala. Definitely made me feel teary eyed. I will show this to my friends abroad and show them how truly wonderful Koramangala is.

Now that you got new shoes to ur Harley, I would suggest to do a ride from bangalore to mangalore via Chikmagaluru and mangalore to bangalore via madikere. Nice rout to ride during rainy n winter season. Don't know if u do long rides or not.

Kudos to Balachandra! 👏💎 Having stayed and worked in Koramangala 6th block for nearly 4 years(2014-2018), this vlog bought back so many wonderful unforgettable memories! Especially near Jyothi nivas college road! Thanks a ton for taking me on a trip down the memory lane 😃

SUPER 👌

👌👌👌👌

My kid play regularly in the park opposite to that building and today i got to know the owner😀

Hello, I am your subscriber from a long time and almost watch all your videos. This post today has actually made me reach out to you. I have stayed in Koramangala for 7 years (from 2007 to 2014) and at different places. I stayed in 4th block opposite Maharaja hotel, 3rd block in Kudremukh colony, 5th block near kormangala club and 8th block near Robert Bosch. I am settled in Pune now but this video is so so nostalgic as I could relate everything that you have mentioned. We have dined in Satya's Cafe, hole in the wall, Garmin restaurant in Raheja arcade, midnight dosas in Empire etc etc. Also I remember this office which you mentioned is owned by Rahul Dravid. I think even Ashok Soota stayed in the same lane, if I am not wrong. Thank You Kripal for this video !!

You live on Tavarekere main Road 😊 And the building ayur healing i have been to many times for treatment.

Your long ride are really good ones , especially covering some local restaurants and it's deliacies. hopefully you will come up it with soon very soon after changing the tyres of your 🏍️ I would recommend to go for Michelin tyres.

Bangalore is a nice place place, because of its greenery. Koromangala(Bangalore) have changed a lot looking back to our days in the 1984's... My guardians are in Cox Town, when I saw it in 2007, I saw many changes. MG Roads, Brigade Roads were well known to us boarders. They have changed a lot. Boarders used to watch film in REX Cinema Hall every year. I still remember that we watched "Black Beard Ghost' in 1985, if I'm not mistaken. I miss Bangalore so much.

6:07 that is not good news. My bikes tyre blew on a single lane highway after 2 puncture fixes being a tube tyre, was stuck in a small town and fortunately could get some help a couple of kms away. Please replace at the earliest

I live in Koramangala exactly where you took the ride

I too get confused to find this post office,i travel this by lane to my office😊

19:47 kripal trying to sound polite about ejipura flyover 😂...the flyover connecting nowhere to nowhere...no progress for last 5 yrs

Hi kripal sir Towards Koramangala 1st block there is a eatery called New ambur biriyani point It's one of The best ambur biriyani in Bengaluru and you must try it. The biryani is spicy and the kebabs are juicy As a proud Koramangala boy , this is the only recommendation i would say which everyone loves in and around Koramangala.

Dear sir, have you done any videos on the history of vijaynagara empire and on king krishnadevaraya? As you are from the region, A historical vlog on king krishnadevaraya, vijaynagar and on their culinary traditions would be so interesting I presume. I request you to please take it into consideration

Sir you should try Ambur star biriyani since 1890 which just started in sahakarnagar bangalore

Happy Easter Kripal ✝️

I've gone through that house road for 10 years I never knew that house belongs to the WaLL 😮

This 7:05 this is Suddegunte palya near forum mall

That's my college there 😂

Bro that tire is like absolutely bald!

Look how auto drivers see 😅😅😅. They look as if they are angry or have something bad feeling 😅😅

even rahul dravid kids were used to go head start school

Good morning dear Kripal - At the outset would like ti wish you and your loved one as a Happy Easter 🐣 Greetings from Vadodara . Looks like it’s been a while since I posted a comment on this channel . This was an interesting and wonderful Vlog . I didn’t quite comprehend in the beginning as to why you started your Sunday ride so late in the day . Though you did mention about work but need to go back to some other KA MV’s to figure out the reason . What I like about you is your relentless pursuit of passion and commitment. Just because you had a flat you didn’t give up ( though it might have taken the mickey out of you ) but temporarily fixed the 450 Kg Gentle monster 😀 till it was properly fixed by a noble soul in Mr Balachander ( very rare indeed to find such people ) . To be candid though I enjoy your long ride with your friends, this short trip within Koramangala was spectacular. You weren’t rambling but your commentary is so immersive that we could also literally smell the foliage and appreciate the aesthetic structures of the U Swanky Koramangala . The best part was that you introduced a connection to most of the places during your ride , be it your place of worship , your daughter’s school , the Koramangala club and finally culminating into your erstwhile office space wherein your landlord was The Wall . This was super fab Vlog and enjoyed every frame of it . Thanks for making my Sunday . Looking forward to a Katyawadi Lunch . Take care , Keep smiling, stay healthy, stylish and God bless 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Sir do you use rynox gears? Or RE streetwind V3 ? Will be intriguing to know your gears! 🍻

Hello Kripal garu, love your vlogs. Don’t drive that beautiful bike with a plug, replace the plug with a patch and plug done from inside the tire. Ultimately replace the tire. Plugs are not safe at all.

Can't these tyres be retreaded?

Mr.Kripal why dont you come to Sri Lanka for a holiday? Love from 🇱🇰 please do comment,from where did you had your best chicken biriyani?

13:50 That house is Flipkart's CEO's House

I was wondering who is balanchander the cricketer

Please have a breakfast meeting with Rahul Dravid.🙏

They say Bengaluru is congested af but I don't see it in your video? Care to share your views?

Was it kebab magic in first block, Koramangala is bae

Unless the IT is thrown out this city will become another Bombay . Already slums up everywhere.People please wake up.

Sir u look very tired

Bethany high school

Guess you meant ... 45 Sundays in a year

Doesn't mam boss rdoent ride with you

1. Just saw one of my clients office there in 3rd block Anyway, these days it doesn't really matter where they are . I had never seen that office before. In fact I didn't quite realize that they are in Bangalore!! 2. Raheja Residency is quite old. I guess one of the older properties in Koramangala. 3. I think Bangalore was never a city of apartments. The apartment thing started from Marathalli? 4. However, 20 years back if you checked out Sankar Mutt Road and Basavanagudi on the other side of the city , you would have spotted more Bungalows. (of course Jayanagar) 5. It's all a change. Don't know good or bad. 20 years back I used to crave for tall buildings in Bangalore. Now, when i don't live there, but a wiser me got to know, understand and respect the south Indian culture, I truly feel Bangalore should have been stuck in time. 5. I think the only theater that played any Hindi movie was Galaxy in DT. And I didn't know a pub or a night club that would play any Bollywood. I think all has changed now. 6. More importantly Purple Haze Residency Road has shut down. 7. Hey Kripal, do you remember Casa Picola..it was opposite Bishop Cotton . And I think they also has a branch in Indiranagar CMH Road. 8. On Shankar Mutt Road, we had this really old couple (ajja and ajji) living in the next house. They had a Maruti van. I was friends with the Driver They were so simple. Then I heard that both their children are working in NASA! Crazy right?!
