Bangalore Central Mall: Victoria Hotel replaced with the ugliest mall, the colonial style at odds with the new structure.

Bangalore Metro line: The line that runs along MG Road has managed to make the best high street in the city into the biggest eyesore.

Ragigudda Anjaneya Temple: This beautiful temple in Jayanagar perched on a hillock afforded a panoramic view of the city. But iron grills have now taken over the structure, it feels like you’re entering a prison.

Baldwin Boys High School: My alma mater, where the new building is a complete antithesis to the old stone building.

Whitefield IT Parks: Most of Whitefield, with its gated farmhouses and corporate houses, are drowning in the ostentatious and the pseudo-aesthetic, with showy glass structures acting as nothing but a blanket of ugliness that covers everything.
