Things I found out about Bengaluru that made me no, what the hell? Sure. The first electric street lamp in all of Asia, not to be confused with Mall of Asia, was in Bangalore in KR Market in nineteen no five. And they tore that shit down, and it lies somewhere in a BBMP office now. What the hell? Sure. MTR is owned by a Norwegian company. Yes. This MTR. The family that started and owned MTR sold it to this Norwegian FMCG company in 2007. So the next time you're making a sambar, remember that it has something in common with Magnus Carlsen. Sin. What the hell. Sure. This Bangalore newspaper clipping from 1892 is calling for tenders to sell cannabis in the city. Also, this newspaper clipping shows that a faux BHK bungalow was for rent for a 100 rupees. What the hell? Sure. Speaking of good Bangalore, did you know that this rock in Lalbagh is 3,000,000,000 years old? 3,000,000,000 years old. For reference, dinosaurs were around two tier million years ago. And the Earth itself is 4,500,000,000 years old. I've climbed this rock so many times as a kid and knew it was an old rock, but 3,000,000,000 is crazy. What the hell? Sure. Also, I watched this really good TEDx talk on Bangalore that you should check out. And from that, I found this picture of two dudes riding Lambrettas in Jakoor Aerodrome in 1975. The sheer aura from this picture is crazy. One of the people from this picture is Haji Better Saeed, who is the owner of Safina Plaza. What the hell? Sure.
