Public Utility Building Bangalore

This was once the tallest building, before the swanky skyscrapers put this utility building to shame.

So how old is utility building? Why is it in a neglected state? Why is not utility anymore? How many floors it has?

Why is it sparsely occupied? Is it b’cos its living beyond its years? Or is it due to the lack of fire escape route?

Long back I went to the railway booking counter inside utility building. Its creaky lift took me across the desolate floors to the dull railway booking counter office on the 14th floor. When I reached there, I was keen to look around the view from the Public Utility building for a larger view of Bangalore.
Ullas Refreshment at Public Utility Building Bangalore
I’m not sure if railway has the booking counter now. The only place I like in utility building is the Ullas refreshment. It’s a large vegetarian restaurant with an open air seating facility. This portion faces M G road. Many times I had masala dosa and coffee from this sparely populated Ullas refreshment.
Next time you pass in front of Utility building, pls drop in to have coffee from Ullas refreshment from the terrace. Enjoy the cool breeze, & enjoy refreshing coffee.
Come, join me for a cup of refreshing coffee at Ullas refreshments? 🙂
