Queen Elizabeth on MG Road & Other Bangalore Memories - Ramjee Chandran on Three Decades of Making the City His Muse
Ramjee Chandran knows a thing or two about Bangalore. For starters, he was born in the city and his family has lived here for several generations. In addition to that, Chandran has launched and successfully run several magazines focused on the city. Explocity, the city guide he founded in 1999, was funded by Rupert Murdoch and went on to become a widely distributed publication covering international locations like Dubai and New York.
Most of all, Ramjee Chandran loves Bangalore dearly. Bangalore In Stories caught up with him at the iconic Koshy's restaurant for a chat on the city's quirkiest characters from days gone by, the factors that have shaped Bangalore's culture, and more.

Snakes on the Dance Floor - A Chronicle of How Bangaloreans Partied Over the Years ft. Prasad Bidapa
On this episode of Bangalore In Stories, we ask a simple question: What was it like partying in Bangalore back in the day?
The answer to that question varies depending on who you ask. Some experienced Bangalore as the city of piano songs at home and formal dances. Others were around when some of the city's first popular watering holes were springing to life. We talk to Bangalore fashion icon Prasad Bidapa and the mother-daughter duo of Dolores Arulappan and Melissa Arulappan in our quest to trace the evolution of the city's nightlife.

The Home That Stood Up to the Emergency and Nurtured Bangalore's Artists
58, St. Mark's Road is a Bangalore landmark. The home was a haven for activism during the Emergency and fostered the city's artists over several decades. Much of the impetus for these developments came from Pattabhirama Reddy and Snehalatha Reddy, whose radical work in film and theatre led to 58, St. Mark's Road becoming an emblem for artistic freedom and democratic values. We also find out how Kirtana Kumar and Konarak Reddy keep that legacy alive today.
