Sanky - The Great Tanky!

Now since I'll be gone from Bangalore in a month, I think its imperative that I make posts about all those "Great Hangouts" of my life (so far). And so I will begin with this place called Sanky tank!

Situated on Sanky Road and flanked by Sadashivnagar, Vyalikaval and Malleswaram, Sanky Tank is an artificial lake with a walking track. This place is regularly visited by hundreds of people in Bangalore as part of their daily health regimen. The place has 2 entrances - one from Sadashivnagar (after the Swimming Pool) and the other from Malleswaram (Opp. CET Cell).

Now what exactly makes this place so special?

1. Serenity - Its probably serendipity that the serenity of the place washes off all feelings of senility! (Ok I will not show off my vocab)...So the greenery in Sanky is actually amazing and you get a feeling of being at peace with yourself and with the world around.

2. Scenery - Its quite picturesque. Consider the pics below:

And more:

3. Birds and ducks - Its quite likely that you'll spot Kingfishers and some other birds on trees and there are ducks in the tank! Scintillating personalities of nature!

4. Bhel Puri / Churmuri - My post would be incomplete without the food element. The churmuri in the blue gaadi outside sanky is quite yummy, esp. after the tiring walk around the tank :)....And yes if you are near the Malleswaram entrance, you'll find a juice shop and "Hot Chips" on the way to the 18th Cross bus Stand!

Sanky Tank has been one of my fav places in bangalore. Needless to say, I'm gonna miss going there.
