Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
The chorus of Rudyard Kipling’s famous The Ballad of East and West can aptly be applied to Bangalore – a city of layers – a twin city with the European Cantonment to the East and the Indian Pettah to the West and Cubbon Park in between, serving as a barrier between the two!
Join us to find out if the two ever met and, along the way, experience a bit of Cantonment life along with some surprises thrown in.
Date: 31st October 2009
Venue: St Mark’s Cathedral (entrance near Koshy’s)
Time: 8:00 am
We will wrap up in about 3 hours. As always, we will provide a light snack. Please carry some water with you. Parking is available along the road in front of St Mark’s, in Cubbon Park near Victoria Statue, or behind the Government Museum half a kilometre away.
Seats are limited for this event. Please register in advance by calling 99860 23014.
This walk is organised by INTACH Bangalore, Bangalore City Project (BCP), Max Mueller Bhavan, UDHBAVA Forum and MPSR Foundation.
