    B a n g a l o r e B u s R o u t e N o . 1 1 in the 1950s E.R. Ramachandran was born in 1942 in Belgaum. He has settled in Mysore after working in Government and Philips Organizations. He has contributed to the Hindustan Times, Cricketnext.com, and is a regular contributor to Churumuri and humour magazine Aparanji in Kannada. E. R. Ramachandran Editor’s note: This is a modified version of an article that was posted here http://churumuri.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/once-upon-a-time-in-bangalore-on-route-no-11/ I remember that in the 1950s and 1960s Bangalore was still a Pensioners’ Paradise and very much a sleepy town. It was mostly divided into “City” and “Cantonment” areas, with Basavanagudi and Malleshwaram the best known among its residential areas. Probably R.K. Narayan’s famed town, Malgudi, grew from an equal mixture of Malleshwaram and Basavanagudi. Jayanagar and its famous mosquitoes had not made their debut yet. After mosquitoes, bandicoots literal and metaphorical, appear to have descended on Bangalore to make what it is today. The City Market was really a conglomeration of various petes—Chikkapete, Balepete, Tharugupete, Akkipete, Cottonpete—holding the business community. In a way they were the lifeline of the city. Dandu or Cantonment (‘Contrumentru’ as the villagers would call it), where the British had stationed their troops ,was still a very far off place for most Bangaloreans; Almost as far as London itself. *** One got a fair idea of the City travelling in BTS, or Bangalore Transport Service or in Kannada, a naughty sobriquet, Bittre Tiruga Sigodilla (if you miss a bus, it will be eternity till you see the next one).

  • Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
    COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.
