Security at Bagmane Capital

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:28:44 +0530

A fourteen-minute walk took me over an hour. Scroll inside the map below, or open it full-screen.

I was staying at The Curzon Court, Brigade Road.

I needed to be at Microsoft Luxor North Tower for a 2 pm workshop.

So I came over to Seetharampalya Metro Station and seated myself at Fairfield by Marriott by 11 am.

At around 1:10 pm, I thought it best to head to the venue. It was a 14 minute walk. That would give me half an hour to have lunch. I skipped breakfast, too.

Unfortunately, the security guard at Bagmane Capital Gate 3 told me that this was the back gate.

Visitors must register at the front gate near Sri Vishnu Palace. That’s 2 km away. But since I can’t go through the campus, it’s 4 km away.

I called the host and let them know I’ll be late.

After ordering a Rapido bike, hunting gate after gate for the right one, I managed to get to the Bagmane Capital front gate at 1:50 pm.

The bus would arrive at 2 pm. The workshop was at 2 pm. It was a 24 minute walk. Since I brisk-walk 25% faster than Google Maps, I could be there by 2:10 pm by walk. Bus was uncertain.

So I brisk-walked. And ended up in my own workshop 15 minutes late.

Without breakfast. Or lunch.

After the workshop, I walked out via the Gate 3. The security turned me around.

I turned around. But after 5 minutes, I turned back.

I took off my visitor badge and walked out.

He shouted at me to turn around. I kept walking.

He followed me, shouting. I kept walking, tiredly.

He called the security at the next check, who stood in front of me, blocking me, and asked what I thought I was doing.

“I’m just going out,” I said, tiredly. And walked around him.

He followed me, shouting. I kept walking, tiredly.

I had lunch at Bug & Bean Cafe.

Unfortunately, their chef was unavailable, so most of the interested dishes were unavailable too. I had a peri peri paneer sandwich.

Tamil Songs by P B Srinivas

Sun, 14 May 2006 12:00:00 +0000

Playback singers ruled the day in the 60s and 70s. At least, I remember songs more by the singers than the music directors.

Here is the background music from some songs from the 1960s and 1970s, sung by P B Srinivas. Can you guess which movie they are from?
