( Marble Memorial plaque inside St Patrick’s Church, Bangalore)
I found few interesting sites from old timers. There is a small tribe of people who still cherish the old life in Bangalore. I would like to meet them personally, hear their tales, and know how the life was in ’40 or ’50’s.
Somehow I adore seeing the old black and white pictures. There’s something in those pictures which makes me lost, or connected with those yesteryear life. Probably, it’s the fresh, innocent or naive way of life, which is portrayed in those old pics. On the same lines, I love collecting vintage stuffs, from books to items of the pasts.
Who talks of Old Bangalore
One Mr Ronnie Johnson has given wealth of details through pictures and detailed content on the life in old Bangalore. As he rightly the heydays of Bangalore as – those were the days
Mr Ronnie also writes content for websites or for online publications.

( update on 10/15 – Some time back I came to know from an Anglo Indian person that Ronnie Johnson has passed away). Now, I’m not sure who is there to track those vintage diaries. I feel sorry for not meeting Mr Ronnie in person.
