The biggest marker of Thippasandra is its vibrant main road. The stretch, all the way from BEML Gate on Suranjan Das Road to Indiranagar 80 ft Road at the other end, is lined with shops and vegetable vendors. It will bring a sense of nostalgia about a less vibrant native place. To Thippasandra’s residents, this 20-year-old market offers almost everything they need and is a “home for health”. Spread out along the New Thippasandra Main Road and spilling over onto a parallel road, are vegetable vendors, fruit and flower sellers, stationery, condiment and confectionery stores, and kiranas. The big air-conditioned stores that have opened here in the last few years do not satisfy the desire for fresh vegetables. There is a human touch to shopping here and a promise of quality. |
