Directions: For those who don’t know Malleswaram too well, get to Sankey Tank and watch for a little exit on the left immediately after–this will bring you to Margosa Road and 18th Cross in Malleswaram. Continue for a bit down the same road till you see a telephone exchange and a school on your right, and Veena Stores on your left. This would be 15th Cross–take a right and continue up the road. At about the third intersection, you will see one of those Barista/CCD outlets (can’t remember which) on your right–turn left here, you are now on 8th Main and Canara Union is about five doors down on the right.
Alternatively, get to Malleswaram Circle, go up Sampige Road till you see the 15th Cross sign, turn left and turn left once again when you spot the coffee-shop and CV Raman’s house.
If you get lost, call 97312-14519. We’re starting at 10 sharp.
