Bengaluru Days & Silicon Dreams: Fifteen Tales of Love, Loss, Hustle & Hope in the Garden City

By Rajesh Seshadri

Heartbeats of India - A literary journey through the cities, streets, and souls of a nation, where every corner hides a story and every story holds a heartbeat.

In the city where monsoon clouds linger and traffic lights last a lifetime, dreams run faster than the metro-sometimes tripping, sometimes taking flight.

Bangalore Days & Silicon Dreams is the second book in the Heartbeats of India Series, a tapestry of fifteen intertwined tales from the country's most restless, rain-scented metropolis. Here, a food delivery boy dreams of building an app while racing against a family crisis. A startup power couple navigates love, loss, and Series A funding. A middle-aged widow finds her calling in hand-strung jasmine garlands. And at Silk Board, a man ages ten years in traffic-and discovers the meaning of life.

From the chai-stained tables of Bellandur to the leafy calm of Basavanagudi, from MG Road's neon dazzle to Ulsoor Lake's quiet ripples, these stories capture the paradoxes of a city that is both ancient and ever-updating. Woven with humour, nostalgia, and the fragrance of wet earth, each chapter is a reminder that in Bangalore, everyone is beta testing their best life.

Whether you're a techie, an artist, a dreamer, or just someone stuck in a jam, you'll find a piece of yourself in these pages-because Bangalore isn't just a city. It's a state of mind.
