Perhaps that is the bookstore you refer to, Deb. I assume you know this, but for the other readers Ganga is for the Ganges River and Ram is for the god Rama. Gangaram is a common name in India.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056344567673394198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579266961998518755.post-62250548807067846392010-01-09T09:41:17.416-08:002010-01-09T09:41:17.416-08:00Enjoy Bangalore!

I'm a regular ol' gal from the Midwest but my husband is from Chennai so over the years we've traveled to many cities in India. Travel in India isn't easy, but it's getting better in recent years. I found Bangalore to be more comfortable than any other cities we visited. It's pretty with all the trees. Nice neighborhoods. There is a great huge bookstore downtown. The young professionals with western tastes took us to many great Bangalore restaurants. I hope to travel there more often; we have partnerships there and in fact my husband is visiting there next week. I love to take salwaar kameez fabrics and sew them into western pattern styles, making some unusual clothes that I wouldn't wear in the U.S. but I aways pack in suitcase for India.debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672937937132506545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579266961998518755.post-84163329007155226512010-01-06T14:10:38.590-08:002010-01-06T14:10:38.590-08:00Can one of the bloggers enlighten the blog followe...Can one of the bloggers enlighten the blog followers as to what you all are doing in Bangalore anyway?Bob Branmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614724836985006280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579266961998518755.post-23035994459933218782010-01-04T12:27:13.482-08:002010-01-04T12:27:13.482-08:00Is that akin to our coral trees?
