I don’t have much money to spare, but I’m thinking of getting a camera.
The thing is: Should I buy an average digital camera for Rs 15-20K or should I buy a normal camera that costs as much, but will probably give me better quality pictures?
Anyone with advise on what’s the best deal I can get […]

On Saturday night, we went out for a Chinese place for dinner. On Sunday, it was a place called Susie’s (Correction: Sue’s Kitchen) for lunch.
If you are visiting Bangalore or live there, you must do Sue’s (especially, if you haven’t done it yet!).
It’s a Caribbean restaurant located in Indiranagar. The owner is from West Indies and has […]

It was happy hours at T.G.I.F. (nice ambience, slightly overpriced) and since it was Friday, we thought it would be an […]
