‘Just chill’ was the mantra over the last few days and that’s exactly what I man­aged to do. On Mon­day, I decided to go wan­der­ing around MG Road. My aim was to go book brows­ing. But I also landed up walk­ing around MG Road. Now this is what I haven’t done in a long while. Just […]

Okay, now you just can’t go for a Karan Johar movie and expect intel­lec­tual stim­u­la­tion. So don’t expect won­ders when you’re watch­ing KANK.

Nandi Hills makes for a lovely drive in this weather. And the weather’s been bril­liant lately, I’m sure Ban­ga­lore­ans would agree. Well, talk­ing about dri­ves, a few of us got together, bun­dled our­selves and our equip­ment into Praveen’s Zen and went off to Nandi Hills on a cool and cloudy Sat­ur­day morn­ing, a cou­ple of weekends ago.
