Bangalore rocks. Im hoping R K Misra of the lead india fame to build bangalore into strenght, if he gets elected. I dont know, what he will be made into, but if he can deliver and transform bangalore into bigger modern city, ill be more than gald

Im voting for him, and you have have a look at him and caste your vote too.

guys, i have some photos of the city/landscape of bangalore. I would be glad to know if anyone tells me how exactly to post the pictures in this forum. so far i have not posted any pics. when i type some messages in the forum, we have a "insert link", "insert image","insert email link" etc icons. when I click "insert image" it tells me to paste the URL of my image in a box. I would be glad to know if there is an option to upload photos directly from my hard disk to this thread. like giving me an option to browse through my hard disk and upload a photo.

I would be glad to know if there is an option to upload photos directly from my hard disk to this thread. like giving me an option to browse through my hard disk and upload a photo.

Unfortunately, there is no such option. you have to load the image to some of the free image hosting sites and then post the hyperlink.

Here is info about posting images in this forum:

OH NO! I don't believe what I just saw... They're mowing down the beautiful old building that housed Lakeview/ Lawrence + Mayo etc??? That's awful, and what makes it worse is the fact that a BLOODY mall is being built in its place. A sad moment.....
(I don't want to go to another location, or have to walk through a shiny new mall, to get my ice-cream)

Yes. Many old buildings in the business district are making way for malls and multiplexes. Victoria hotel building is now Central mall. The Galaxy and Imperial cinemas are closing down too. Here's a picture of Plaza cinema - this one's going down to a better cause, a metro station.
