8th Main, Opposite Mount Carmel College

There are landmarks, then there are famous landmarks, then finally there are famous & glamorous landmarks. Mount Carmel College fits the bill for the last type of landmark. On second thoughts may be the word glamorous should be in Uppercase & Bold, like GLAMOROUS!

Mount Carmel College needs no Introduction. Well definitely not if you are a Bangalorean. But if you are not a Bangalorean & want a little more info about the college suggest you give a “Mount Carmel College Bangalore” search in Google & get your information there. Why get into boring things like the history of the college, the alumni & the courses they offer when the Google Search gives you about 118000 pages of that info. We can better spend the time on something more interesting something more…. Well what do I say…?

By the way here is a little bit of trivia, which you will not find anywhere else. If you have not already given the “Mount Carmel College Bangalore” search on Google, suggest you do it now. The results are about 118000 pages as already stated. Then give another search for “Bishop Cotton Women’s Christian College Bangalore” the result is 21400 pages. After this give one last search for “Jyoti Nivas College Bangalore” the result is only a paltry 846 pages. Both Bishop Cottons & Jyoti Nivas are the other two prominent Women’s colleges in Bangalore. We will leave this here & not get into any analysis. May be you can do that & have your interpretations. Like we said earlier why waste time on…. when we can rather use that time to….

8th Main, opposite Mount Carmel College, Vasanthnagar is like any other road in Bangalore. Houses, grocery shops, utility shops, business establishments, hotels, juice centers & the like. But there is one feature about this road that you will not find on any other road in Bangalore. Heard of how a local economy is dependent on the local factory or the local tourism centers. The same way the economy of this road is dependent on the Mount Carmel College students. It’s a boring fact but a fact nonetheless. But then again why waste time on boring facts when we have other…

8th Main, opposite Mount Carmel College is a nice road; I mean why not, I mean why shouldn’t it be. Yes there are potholes, yes there are blocked drains, yes the traffic there is scary what with middle aged auto drivers & the youngsters in their cars & bikes wanting to get some attention when they are riding. Yeah these are all big issues that the IT & BT industry is fussing over a lot. But we do understand the kind of pressure the civic bodies have on them to deliver & we don’t mind overlooking the problems on this stretch of road. And what a road it is…

OK enough is enough let’s cut the crap & get to the point. I want to ask this question to anybody who can answer. Is there any road on this planet that you can walk on & use as a stress buster? To walk on & not to worry about your pending targets? To walk on & ignore the state of the infrastructure of the road? To walk on & feel like you are in heaven? To walk on and say “God is Great”?
If your answer is NO then come visit this place at least once in your lifetime because this is the road…

If your answer is YES please let me know about that other road immediately…got too much stress these days.
