An event­ful year it has been. Masala, action, romance, thrills, spills and loads of drama. Okay, I’m exag­ger­at­ing. That was the movie I watched last night. But many of these ele­ments have sprung up now and then adding some spice to an oth­er­wise nor­mal and mun­dane life :) Loads of fun, action, good fun and most of all… travel! […]

A week or so ago, we went for a team lunch to a place called Unwind Island some­where on the Outer Ring Road. Don’t ask me why they call it that, I couldn’t really fig­ure out as there wasn’t an island in sight :) A few days ago, on the Xmas break, as we were being […]

“Pho­tog­ra­phy was the hobby that saved me a few years ago when I landed in Ban­ga­lore with exactly two human con­tacts. This gang of pho­tog­ra­phy and travel enthu­si­asts in the city proved to be a life­saver. With­out them, I would prob­a­bly still be walk­ing up and down Brigade Road on week­ends, bored out of my […]

I realised that loads of links on my travel page were not work­ing. Finally got around to fix­ing them and have also updated my 2007 travel sec­tion. I still need to add some of my lat­est travel reports from Agumbe and Bhutan. I often have peo­ple email­ing me or leav­ing com­ments ask­ing for sug­ges­tions etc. […]

The Ban­ga­lore Ultra is on Decem­ber 16 for those of you who want to reg­is­ter for it. It will be held at Hesaraghatta and the dis­tances are 26, 52, 78 and 104 kms. It is appar­ently the first time the ultra is being held in Ban­ga­lore (India?) and there are a few very brave souls […]
