Bangalore in Winter Posted on December 14, 2005December 15, 2005 It’s my favourite season – winter! And it’s a lovely time to be in this city too. The tabubuia blossoms paint the town pink and purple, and there’s that slight nip in the air in the morning that makes you spend a few extra minutes in bed. It’s also a time for one of my absolutely favourite things – corn! When the yummilicious smell of freshly roasted corn wafts in the air it’s hard to resist getting yourself a ‘butta’. And the vendors seem to magically appear in every street… The cat is equally lazy these days and not inclined to get up at all. On Saturdays, usually the only day I can afford to sleep a little late, she’s only too happy to curl into her warm flannel lined basket and catch those extra winks. At the most, she opens her eyes slightly, stretches her graceful limbs for a minute, suns herself in the balcony. And then promptly curls up in a ball and goes back to sleep again. You have to love this season!

And he’s gone… Posted on May 7, 2008May 7, 2008 I’m in a state of despair. His cellphone doesn’t work and I have no idea where he might have gone. To give you some background, it’s been a long relationship. One of the longest I’ve had in Bangalore at least, apart from 2-3 other close friends.

A day with the animals Posted on January 11, 2006January 12, 2006 On New Year’s Day, along with Usha for company, I headed out to WRRC (WildLife Rescueand Rehabilitation Center) on Banerghatta Road. I had been meaning to visit the centre for a while and decided that the 1st would be a good day to start.

Tasty Thai @ Saigon Posted on May 25, 2007May 25, 2007 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… 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 Read More

wow! I have been admiring those pink blooms that cubbon park is so full of – stop for 5 minutes on the way to class every sat and sun. I hope you can capture the circle of those trees outside the library and the court through your magic appareil de photo. And so that is mmle.Kitkit – we never actually got to see her through all that adventure you know – but sure heard a few mouthfuls from her!!! Reply
Wow it looks beautiful! Wish Mumbai could be the same as Bglore .. u know I m talking abt the greens. Reply

Hi, I will come to Bangalore tomorrow. I hope for a great time. Pics are great and what is more important there is not snow in winter time. I hate snow. Here is one joke about cats: Chinese guy saing to turists: “hey, you dont like cats??? Naa you just dont know how to cook them”:) Reply
I never wanna be in Bangalore..Such a terrible and worst traffic I have ever faced in my whole life. Govt should focus on infrastructure rather bragging. Reply
