Garage sale to Support “Tin Sheets”

Two years ago, Ekta Mit­tal, co-founder, Maraa and Yashaswini Raghu­nan­dan, a film maker and artist started work­ing on their film “Behind the Tin Sheets”, doc­u­ment­ing the lives of work­ers build­ing the Ban­ga­lore Metro.

Sun behind the Clouds

I have a spe­cial place for Tibet in my heart — espe­cially since one of my dear­est friends is a Tibetan. And I think that it’s quite a strug­gle for Tibetans today try­ing to find their iden­tity wher­ever they are in the world. It’s not easy when your home­land is no longer yours. Or that […]

It’s an uphill climb!

The train­ing for Sun­feast is on! This is the Kanakpura stretch where we go when we want to do uphill stretches. This time we did a 4k stretch down­hill to start with. And then we come back the same way, except this time it’s all uphill :-) Believe me, it’s not happy thoughts on your […]

Hungry, kya?

“You’ve never been to Food Street?” I could hear dis­be­lief in Badri’s voice when I replied in the neg­a­tive. It’s true. I’ve never been there. Never had the chance. And besides, no one’s ever sug­gested meet­ing at Food Street before. So on Sun­day evening, a few of us got together and decided on a rendezvous […]

A time to eat… and eat some more

Ron­gali Bihu is a fun time for us Assamese peo­ple. Luck­ily for me, I landed in the thick of action. The sec­ond day itself I was whisked off for a Bihu gath­er­ing by my dad. Appar­ently it’s a tra­di­tion for his group of friends (going way back to 1957!) to meet dur­ing Bihu and spend […]

Wide Angle — the online gallery

For those of you who want to have a look at the pics on dis­play dur­ing the exhi­bi­tion, you can visit this link: Anita’s Gallery The prints are between 16x24 (with 2 inch bor­ders) and 20x32 (with 3 inch bor­der) and all framed. If you’re inter­ested in get­ting one for your house, or even gift­ing one […]

Day 1, 2 & 3

It was pretty hec­tic the last two days. Peo­ple have been stream­ing in through the day. Lots of friends (and lots who promised didn’t turn up, but that is always expected!). Some nice sur­prises, peo­ple who came in through this blog and Ban­ga­lore Met­blogs also. The Slimes refused to fea­ture us, and we didn’t get […]
