This is an effort to increase and encour­age rural tourism and sounds like a pretty good idea by Rural Zing. Accord­ing to the tag line, it’s “an Ini­tia­tive to con­nect urban and rural econ­o­my”. They have day long trip start­ing from Ban­ga­lore on Sat­ur­days and Sun­days. Con­tact for details: Mobile: 9886201103 Email — reservation@ruralzing.com You […]

This is quite amaz­ing! Instead of sit­ting around and com­plain­ing, this group is going around Chen­nai fix­ing pot­holes. We def­i­nitely need a few Ban­ga­lore­ans to get onto this. God knows, that after the recent rains, there will be many pot­holes that need fix­ing. Inter­est­ingly, any­one can take the lead and start it off. The Chen­nai I-Fix […]

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 […]

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 […]

I’ve already posted this in Met­blogs, but I wanted to make a per­sonal appeal too. It’s about a lady called Janet who plants trees. What you can do! You can have a tree planted on someone’s behalf to com­mem­o­rate a birth­day, anniver­sary, cer­e­mony, or just another day you’re glad to be alive. Just for about […]

This Ban­ga­lore Week­end Shoots on July 8 plan was an open one. They’re actu­ally quite good fun since we just decide the route and then wher­ever some­one finds some­thing inter­est­ing — we stop and shoot! We decided to go on the Nandi Hills route, and pos­si­bly visit the hillock called Skan­dan­giri. There was also the […]

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 people […]
