Sangam and Meke­dattu are ideal for a day’s get­away from Ban­ga­lore. Though the peak of sum­mer is not the right time to head there, we brave­hearts decided not to be fazed by the intense heat any­way. On a warm Sun­day morn­ing, we packed some lunch and our equip­ment and started off at around 730 am […]

When I read this review on Ban­ga­lore Met­blogs, I couldn’t resist the temp­ta­tion to go and check out the food myself. 
So along with Charles & Deb­bie (who were game to visit again!), Aqua and hubby, my sis­ter and blog­ger Sathish K, we had a nice and lovely long meal at Saigon yes­ter­day evening. 
Warn­ing: Lots […]

Why is this so hard, I am think­ing?
It should be as easy as walk­ing in to the ven­dor, get­ting the infor­ma­tion and then the con­nec­tion.
But if life was that easy, this wouldn’t be India, would it?! 
So here I am, still strug­gling to find a broad­band con­nec­tion at home, after Air­tel can­celled my line because they didn’t […]

Well folks, fel­low trav­el­ers and adven­tur­ous blog­gers — this is going to be a chal­lenge for sure! 
While I am sure it’s really easy to spend 1000 bucks on a sin­gle des­ti­na­tion : here’s some­thing to think about. Can you make the same amount last for 10 des­ti­na­tions? Sounds impos­si­ble? But then we’re all crazy […]

North East Chron­i­cles: On March 19, we trav­elled from Shil­long to the lovely pic­ture per­fect vil­lage of Mawlyn­nong, Megha­laya. The vil­lage prides itself on being the clean­est in Asia — and and it’s not an empty boast we dis­cov­ered! 
Well, I never thought I’d get to live in a house on stilts though I’ve har­boured the […]

North East Chron­i­cles: On March 18, we visit the town of Cher­ra­pun­jee, about a two hour drive from Shil­long, through curvy roads and some beau­ti­ful scenery. Cher­ra­pun­jee, until recently, held the record of being one of the wettest regions on earth.
Cher­ra­pun­jee, which is known by the local name of Sohra, is located in the East Khasi […]

It’s amaz­ing what can take over the col­lec­tive con­scious­ness of a minor­ity of the pop­u­la­tion and get a seem­ingly triv­ial non-issue hyped all over the media!
A kiss, a saree and now Bud­dha in the bath­room?
Like some­one said, it’s okay to relieve your­self in pub­lic places (that’s obvi­ously a part of our great cul­ture) but […]
