Rediscovering the Magic of Nature at Bangalore

One of the most pleasant experiences is waking up to sights of green vistas reverberating to the musical notes of the chirping of birds. Breathing in the fresh morning air fashioned by the leaves and flowers of vegetation all around. What a start to the day this would be!

But these kinds of mornings are fast being relegated to the realms of dreams or are possible only when you are on vacation at some exotic location. The mad race for development has transformed our cities into concrete jungles with trees giving way to brick and mortar structures. People are fast losing the connection with nature as life moves inexorably to the rhythms of mundane monotony.

This state of affairs is as much true for Bangalore as it is with other metropolitan cities in India. Bangalore bursting at its seams have come a long way since the days when it had earned the sobriquets of, ‘Garden City”, and “Pensioner’s Paradise. The green cover of Bangalore has diminished rapidly as residents live their lives in the midst of concrete jungles.

But, people today are looking to reconnect with nature on a daily basis, right from the moment they get up. This means homes in the midst of nature. Homes that are not mere houses but living spaces that blend harmoniously with nature and appeal to the stirrings of the soul. This inner urge of people to reconnect with nature and incorporate it into their daily lives has spurred many housing projects that create homes in the lap of nature in Bangalore.

Paving The Way For Greener Living Spaces

This urge for reconnecting with nature by the citizens of Bangalore has been recognized by construction companies. This is demonstrated by the plethora of residential projects that are coming up which incorporate the best of the natural environment in their designs and layouts.

More and more residential properties now offer the best of both worlds. They ensure homes are secluded and isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city but at the same time within easy reach. A home that is in the lap of nature and at the same time offering the best of modern convenience and luxury is what the construction companies are aiming for.

This has spurred the growth of these kinds of green projects in areas like Whitefield which are the modern hubs of Bangalore. Whitefield itself has seen phenomenal growth over the years and today is at the heart of the IT boom in the city. This has, of course, ensured the mushrooming of shopping and leisure centers, schools, and much more in the vicinity.

Whitefield, as a location, offers convenience to the people working in the area as they can go back to a home where the serenity of nature pervades minus the hassles of negotiating the stressful traffic woes that are rife in the city.
