As you turn off Bangalore's busy MG Road into a quiet by-lane, you see Laika. The
first impression is that of a brick town house with a huge 100 year old evergreen pine
running all the way to the top. You look at this beautiful building peeping from the
greenery and you wonder, how did this beautiful home take roots in Bangalore.
Enter Laika, a world where everything and everyone has a story to tell. Carefully
chosen from old houses and monuments for their heritage contribution, the property
is an interesting pot-pourri of different places and time. The beds narrate the long
forgotten story of old Kerala homes, the tables with hand painted mosaics speak of
the Portuguese contribution to Goa's homes and the window louvers stand proud in
their Bangalore old mansion history. And last but not the least, the wood on the gates
bear the marks of thousands of trains, for they are a part of the Indian Railways
History.
The ancient Jamoon tree at the side has been the source of many to be or not to be
discussions. The fruits in their purple glory fall across the lawns even as trees
blooming orange and pink flowers, green creepers with yellow flowers and the ivy all
vie for attention.
