It is a sizzling hot day, unusual for Bengaluru. Students of the Srishti Institute for Art, Design and Technology, as part of a design charrette, walk on the banks of a lake. Its shimmering sheet of water and cool breeze comes as a pleasant surprise.

This full lake is, however, not unusual in this northern part of Bengaluru. The Yelahanka. . .
