T and I visited Cubbon park yesterday as we were by ourselves for the day. Cubbon park is one of the oldest public parks in Bangalore. The bit I remember going to most often is the BalBhavan, its main attraction being the Toy train - Putani Express. I had been reluctant to go for a while now as the last time I visited, it felt a bit rundown and very dirty. With T's penchant for mud and dirt, I wasnt sure it was a good idea.
In retrospect, I'm glad I was persuaded to give it another shot. It has changed a lot and for the better. The toy train is the same old rickety clackety thing and still as enjoyable as ever if you're a kid, T enjoyed it thorougly. They also have a fair bit of kiddy playground thingy's - jungle-gyms, see-saws, slides - the usual and tucked away to the back - a really nice set of play-units that I havent seen in Blore until now. All in all, good stuff.
For Tanay, the best part was not the park - but the aquarium next door. Most of us forget its there and with good reason. Its dingy and poorly lit, feels like a crypt - but T loved it (part of a current fascination with fishes). This btw was probably the first time we pottered off by ourselves without a care in the world (by bike, no bag and other kiddy paraphernalia). Hint of things to come I hope.
