In comparison, Bengaluru
was a slice of heaven with its
agreeable weather and cosmopolitan denizens. In the 1950s,
it was a welcoming place and
had a large number of foreigners, says Pillai. They and the
rest of the elite gathered at
posh clubs to socialize.
Though Lalitha and Kerala
Varma didn't know anybody

helped open doors, including
that of the Bangalore Club. No

CITY FRAMES
OLD IS COOL
THIS SUMMER
Global warming might be eating into the
citys uber cool reputation but trust the old
Bengalureans to know how to beat the heat.
Much before the advent of ACs, coolers
and molecular gastronomy mojitos,
they relied on local delicacies to

be permitted beyond this point. No admission without
permission. Dont be put off by these curt posters at Amrith Ice
Creams. Only one of

With demand for its
homemade ice creams

the weekly holiday.
Started by the late MN Sarathy, the unassuming exteriors belie the
fact that about 50-60 litres of ice cream is churned out daily by
machines. The shop is run by his son, Ramapriyam, who says
that everything has remained the same since Amrith
opened in 1993. Flavours like Caribou coffee, honey
dew and manoranjini keep the crowds coming in. Ice
creams start at `20; Amrit special at `70 is the costliest.
