Cool mist @ the Nature trails

Yercaud always had a special place in my heart. Every trip to Yercaud has been memorable. Whether you intend to hike, or just chill, this place offers it all. This December, we stayed in Yercaud for just 2 days in Sky Roca. We were pleasantly surprised at how perfect it turned out to be. G...Read more

The Price of vanity ... and some other ramblings .
General Tips while Trekking

Really appreciate your adding the 'do no leave trash behind'. Its a must for all nature lovers to stress this point. Yeah, animals get provoked by flahes/cameras. Once on a trip to Mudumalai an elephant chased a 60km/hr jeep because some one flashed the camera lights!!. (we were lucky to have lef...t the site 40 sec before!! we just watched the elephant n left) Its exciting to think of seeing wild life, but the moment you see one, your heart stops beating!! nice review. and great tips.Read More

Mystic Ruins
Hampi

i have visited Hampi quite a few times, and your review was very good. I didnt know much about the surroundings, as i spent all the time in the ruins and stayed in Hospet! i really appreciate the comment 'do not litter' and most importantly not to scribe on the stones..

A trendsetter!
Thiruvasakam - Illayaraja

I got a chance to listen to this CD. At many points i had this urge to know what the meaning was. My dad had a book, which explained the meaning of those verses. It is interesting to lsiten when you understand the meaning. I saw some translation on the net. People can check it out.

Fiat Petra

hi, I own a FIAT. Its true that FIAT had a bad service reputation plus spare parts were costlier sometime back (a yr or 2 ago). But now, they have very decent prices on spare , some of them are cheaper than wagon R . Plus, i have never had an issue with their service so far. (touch-wood!!) Dea...ler : Bangalore Sundaram Motors. Pls give accurate details .Read More

Self Discipline - An Anniyan concept in India
Anniyan Movie

Its sad that the portrayal of common man in this movie, is as true as it can get. It is not one of those R.K Laxman point-of-view i.e in good spirits/humor. We have had too many people glorify our culture, portray our chaos as a 'character', find some humor in these miseries. Its time to hit the...m hard on their head. Day in and out, i get deeply disturbed by the invasion of my fellow countrymen. Who spit on my chappals (sometimes on my head from a bus!), who make way for themselves without an 'excuse-me', who are not apologetic for not giving you that 1mm airspace around you, who think the road is theirs to dig-up for festivities, who tap electricity to celebrate religious festivals, who stop the traffic becos they are asking for directions in the middle of the road, who think that children crossing the roads are equipped with GPS and can perform stunts on road- so dont have to stop for them, and the list goes on. atleast now i know, its not just me. there is whole lot wanting to see a change. there is hope. excellent writing there..Read More

A creative break

The theater festival began on the 27th Oct in Ranga Shankara. Tickets were sold at a unbelievable 49Rs. And the crowd was going mad.

Case settled with fiat
Palio - Petrol

Hi, Its unfortunate this happened to you. But this is not the problem with the FIAT co. or the car they are selling. Palio is a fine car, yes with some cons. The dealer has taken advantage, in your case. you can check the yahoogroups - PalioUsersIndia or fiat-users. Post your problem to them ...and see if they have a legal suggestion to it. good luck.Read More
