The nicest thing about Mangalore… Posted on May 2, 2005 Pretty!, originally uploaded by anitabora. … are the beautiful old houses. We have been struck down by the heat and that limited our outdoor activities. On Saturday, we did a bit of sightseeing along the Mangalore coastline – Kaup, St. Mary’s Island. We then veered inside to Moodbidri and lunched at a village called Paladka. But yesterday, the sun got the better of us and we rested (aka slept) the whole day. After the sun went down, we went around the area we’re staying in and decided to drool at some of the houses. One thing I’ve decided is to get Mangalore tiles for my roof when I build my house! – A few house pictures Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Travel
Wishing for rain… Posted on May 7, 2007May 7, 2007 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.

SUN, SAND & SURF: TWO DAYS IN GOKARNA Posted on October 3, 2005October 3, 2005 The Gokarna trip had been pending for a while. There were about half a dozen folks who were absolutely sure they wanted to go. And of course, as we approached the day of departure, quite a few backed out. Fever, work, sudden loss of interest : there were all kinds of explanations as usual.
