At Unmaad 2008




I had a rocking time at the Unity Concert,a part of Unmaad 2008,hosted by IIM bangalore, this weekend.It was so much full of energy and Veene,my brother and I had a great time.There were 2 bands performing :The Pakistani band strings and the Indian band called Mrigya.I liked the novel concept in one of the presentations by Mrigya in which there was a fusion of Rigveda chanting and reading the Azan .It sounded heavenly.Also besides the bollywood medly mix by Strings was very entertaining and had the entire crowd there joining in.

So the count of my live shows have increased and I am looking forward to many more.

White water rafting at Dandeli

Image
Who : Ravi ,Suchi ,Amit ,Priyanka,Guru,Dakshina When : Nov 24th -25th 2007 Dandeli is a very small town 57kms from Dharwar and 95 kms from Belgaum. Although I have stayed most of my life in Belgaum,i never knew there was so much beauty so closeby waiting to be explored.The very idea of travelling from bangalore seems stupid,but we did it .. Dandeli can boast of dense ,moist decidious forests and the gr8 river Kali flowing across it. The town has very little to write abt ,but around the town there are a lot of resorts and nature camps --jungle lodges,bison resort,kulgi nature camp ..Also the Kavalla caves,Ullavi temple,Supa Dam,Syntheri rocks are other places of interest ... You can find a lot of info abt these on other sites .. What we enjoyed there was the river rafting and the leech ridden forest trek !!The first splash against the chilly waters to feel one with it ,the ride on the rapids,the "full servicing" as the local guide called it ,the adrenalin rush as we rowed upst

Thank you Rani for suggesting this place.Melukote is still a calm,quiet non crowded,unexplored place relatively.I hope it stays that way. Guru has mailed me the details and i am adding it here .

You know u're looking for a house when ...

1. You unconsciously start looking at sites and guessing the dimensions 30*40 / 40*60 You start looking at tiles and guessing if its a 2"*2" or 1.5"*1.5" ..Same for the rooms 2. The Times Property section becomes mores interesting than the Bangalore times page 3. You are more interested in home loans than ever before.You also finally start observing your bank balances to check if have the necessary 15% to pay the initial amts... 4. You start observing all hoardings/ads more than those of films stars/favourite stars 5. The architect in you comes alive.Each time you visit someone's home you think of "better" ways you would have planned the house and saved space. 6. You suddenly lean towards Vaastu Shastra and start thinking if your bad luck in office is because your cube placement is not compliant to Vaastu !!! At some time or the other you fall in this trap of searching a house.Peer pressure,fear of rising prices,relatives all around you telling yo
