Wine, women and wanderlust

January 14th, 2008  |  Published in Adventure, India, Travel  |  14 Comments

Caught up with a bunch of inter­est­ing women at Sum­i­tra Senapathy’s WOW get together on Sat­ur­day evening in town. I got there late after bat­tling heavy Ban­ga­lore traf­fic (okay, the usual!) but there was still quite a bit of wine left :)

I’ve writ­ten about WOW before so I won’t go into details again.

But if you’re inter­ested, her travel sched­ule in 2008 looks like this:
Feb: EGYPT
April: NEW ZEALAND & TURKEY

If you want more infor­ma­tion on WOW, you can call Sum­i­tra on 09891655054.

I met a lady called Poorvi who came up to me and said she had first come across WOW on my blog and that’s how she landed up going on a trip with them. Also caught up with Anu­radha, who’s quit work and look­ing rather happy right now! And a very spunky Radio City pro­ducer called Pooja (who said she’s read my blog once :-) who regaled us about her Sri Lanka trip in great detail and had us in splits! 

The theme of the evening was pink and it was inter­est­ing to see almost every­one in some shade of pink or the other. Some came fully embell­ished with acces­sories in pink too look­ing really pretty! Unfor­tu­nately, I’m not a pink per­son and pos­sess all of one apparel in pink. So I man­aged a white kurta with some very “blink and you miss it” pink flow­ers! The best part was this pho­tog­ra­pher who landed up at around 930 when every­one was get­ting ready to dis­perse. Pg 3 he declared and was sur­prised that this party was get­ting over so early :) 

All in all, a great fun evening and I wish I’d got­ten a lit­tle ear­lier. But next time!

    Am eagerly wait­ing to retire next year and hope to join your won­er­ful club of wan­der­ing women.
    (-: But are 60+ women welcome?

    And do you have get togeth­ers in Kolkata or Delhi? Would like participate.

    Hey Girls

    WOW groups are a fun lov­ing combo of young, not-so-young and young at heart!! 

    WOW is going places this year — Ladakh, China, Aus­tralia & a trek to Sikkim.

    Wine evening in B’lore will surely hap­pen this summer!

    Dear Sum­i­tra,
    I have been envi­ously read­ing about WOW for some time now. Boo hoo — you guys don’t oper­ate in Delhi and its envi­rons. Met Shobha Mohan a few days back and both of us wowed about you!
    Are you plan­ning any­thing at all — this side of the Yamuna. I am a part time Tour Man­ager for Inbound tours. Would love an oppor­tu­nity to work with you — start a WOW fran­chise here in North India. Or have you done that already.

    Cheers
    Rachna

    Hi

    I have been read­ing about WOW and Sum­i­tra on the web with fas­ci­na­tion. I am one of those ‘urban, well-off, sin­gle’ women and am keen to join the gang of girls at WOW. I have only just moved to Mum­bai and am look­ing for things to do on my week­ends. Is there some­thing hap­pen­ing in and around Mum­bai? I’d love to be a part of it.

    May WOW bloom and grow for­ever
    Bhuvana

    hello ladies

    i heard about wow on in 2008. I guess read about it.
    I have some queries.

    i have a per­son and a friend in aus­tralia who man­ages my trav­els abroad.
    ususally its with my hus­band.
    but i read the blog and the pics and this surely seems to be a great option. to travel with women. I would love a change. 

    i have some queries:
    Would you be kind enough to answer them for my satisfaction?

    1. do you have a place in Ahmed­abad and in kolkata where i can meet up with friends? I am mar­ried in kolkata and need some good lady friends.

    2. i under­stand that we are all included in an all women group. so is it so that we always have to stick to the group. is every thing a group activ­ity? Or can we take out a short time off for a sin­gle activ­ity, like shop, adven­ture or meet up with a friend and return to the safety of the group?

    3. do we know before hand who our group mem­bers are going to be? 

    4. Can i also devi­ate some­times from the iti­ne­nary miss? 

    look­ing for­ward to answers

    Regards
    janaki
