My first *bushwalking* 👣 ⛰ experience in Australia – Berowra Track at Mt Kuring-gai Chase National Park
It was perhaps the first free weekend since we moved to Sydney. Most previous weekends were about setting up the house (assembling Ikea furniture is quite interesting!), buying stuff for the house or resting after the setting up and shopping. Deepti had to head back to India to finish up some work there and here Continue reading

Celebrating Christmas in Bangalore: 2012 Edition – Part I
Well, nothing fancy about the 2012 Edition bit in the title. It isn’t that I’ve been celebrating Christmas (while being in Bangalore itself) over the previous years and this post is about the celebrations in 2012. Couldn’t think of a better title and hence the title, and this needless explanation at the beginning of the Continue reading

The Tipu Sultan Trail & The Story of Indian Riches
It all started with Harsha mentioning one day about the nine forts or the Navadurgas that Tipu Sultan built around Bangalore-Mysore. And long before trekking became as fashionable as it is now, we were traveling to interesting places around Bangalore digging (not literally) for stories and nuggets of history. In fact, a lot of the popular Continue reading

And Then One Voted
What I had to go through to get my voter ID card will take up two and a half blog posts, but after having cast my vote now, I feel it was worth all the effort. Here’s to Indian democracy – Wrong finger? Thank you very much, DNA. Huh. Old Airport Road, Bangalore at 6:45 Continue reading

Mysore Dasara Trip 2008 Or Why I Can Now Die A Happier Man – I
The Theory of Happening Trips has been proved once again. That the best trips are those which are decided at the spur of the moment with minimum fuss about the planning, stay, travel and the company. And that the ones that are planned and thought over, over and over, never quite happen. The Mysore Trip Continue reading

Via Darjeeling and The Darjeeling Limited
Two movies I’m looking forward to watch in some time – Via Darjeeling and The Darjeeling Limited. Via Darjeeling comes from Arindam Nandy and has a very impressive star cast with an interesting story-line. More from Arindam Nandy on Via Darjeeling. Heartening to see NFDC (back to?)backing projects like these. The Darjeeling Limited sounds a Continue reading

Photos From The North East Trip
As Partha correctly points out here, it was not exactly the North East that we know as. Nevertheless, it was originally planned as a North East trip and hence the name shall remain. A picture is worth a thousand words they say and all the photos from the put together would be close to a Continue reading

Death Of A Great Brand Or Birth Of A Greater Brand?
Change is good. Definitely. Hutch is now Vodafone. Good? Not very sure. More than its SIM cards made it into our mobile phones, Hutch – the brand, had made its way into our hearts. Not entirely impossible, but it will be very difficult for Vodafone to replace Hutch. Let’s see. We’ll let the brand do Continue reading

Movies – Towards Achieving My Aim In Life
Not that I’m going to become another Madhur Bhandarkar, but watching as many movies as one can has never made anyone a bad film-maker, has it? So much ado for a movie update. But seriously, if I had only seventeen more days to live, I’d make start working on a short film Right Angle. I Continue reading
