Hi There, Bengaluru! ✨
Weekend bandide, and the biggest question is: “Ivattu yen madodu?”
Don’t worry, we’ve done the scrolling for you. This edition has a green city update, creative workshops, sporty plans, theatre, qawwali, pet fun, and one trending airport cab story that feels painfully Bengaluru.
Make kaapi, save your picks, and maybe try the recipe before you step out. Full chill, swalpa plan, total weekend scenes.
Bengaluru trivia: Before it became Bengaluru’s go-to street for pubs, cafés, bookstores, and weekend walks, Church Street got its name because of a nearby landmark.Which one was it?
Answer at the end.
Weekend Recipe: Ragi Mudde Mood
This weekend, try making Ragi Mudde at home.
It is simple, filling, very Karnataka, and gives full “oota aaytha?” satisfaction.
First mudde may look slightly confused. Parvaagilla. Swalpa adjust maadi, second one will be better.
Hot mudde, spicy saaru, Saturday afternoon nap. Boss, sorted.
Appa Day Plans ❤️
Sunday, June 21, is Father’s Day. Appas may not ask for much, but they remember the little things.
Take him for a Cubbon Park walk, dosa-filter coffee date, or just sit with him at home. No phones, no rushing, just time.
Kids can make an Appa Coupon Card with sweet promises: one chai date, one movie night, one no-phone walk, or one full day of not arguing.
A few cute Bengaluru plans to save:
Best surprise? Cook for him. Start with this weekend’s recipe.

Big City Update
Bengaluru Goes Big On Green 🌱
BDA is planning to plant 15 lakh saplings on June 27 and is aiming for a Guinness World Record.
The plantation drive will also cover the newly built Major Arterial Road connecting Mysuru Road and Magadi Road.
Big number, big promise. Now Bengaluru will be watching one thing: will these saplings survive after the photo-op also?
Peak Airport Behaviour
At Bengaluru airport, 30 to 40 people waited nearly 30 minutes for Uber, while Ola cabs were available nearby.
Ayyo, why are we like this?
The internet had one big question: brand trust, bad Ola memories, or just tired airport brain?
Very Bengaluru, boss. We love options, but after a flight, we trust the button we know
