I took these pictures on the day before my departure. Although Bengaluru is my home and I go often on holiday, this particular trip was a  business trip so I didn't get much time to look around. I only had weekends. So much has been written about Bengaluru the last few years, most of it seems to be related to software companies and 'backend' jobs offshoring to India's Silicon Valley that I thought being a Bangalorian, I'd share the less-techie side and show the more colourful ...

These are some of the photos from the next leg of my world tour. This time we are suppose to visiting India, Dubai, and Istanbul (Turkey).

Well I was here for work and not on a sightseeing trip, although on my travels around bangalore I didn't spot much to see bar the usual run down palaces. Bangalore has seen huge growth recently and lots of western companies are setting up in india's silicon valley, this means that the whole sprawl of the city is one big building site, new motorways being constructed, every available space is a building site. Bangalore doesn't seem to end just spraws on and on, traffic is a nightmare eve...

This is a city of temples.

History :The story how Bangalore came to be called by its present name has an interesting history. Once on a hunting expedition King Ballala of the Hoysala dynasty lost his way in the jungle. Deep inside the jungle, lived an old woman who took pity on the hungry and tired hunter. The old woman was poor and had nothing else to offer but boiled beans. But the king was so pleased with her hospitality that he named the entire city as bele-benda-kalu-ooru, which in the local language Kannada means...

Colorful India - More than writing anything about colors of India, I have uploaded snaps to view the different  hues you  would see in South India. Come September- November, its a heaven for eyes. One can see exotic flowers, feel the scent in the air, vibrant Indian women et al. Do see the snaps yourself and decide to experience COLORFUL INDIA :)  

MAY 2005--Big thanks to a three-week stint in Bangalore to liaise with my former Singaporean company's off-shore IT services provider, I set foot in India for the very first time (and the only time so far), in the country's cleanest and greenest city (I had to be told!) no less. Some snapshots...

Travels during my summer internship in India!

I started working at an animal rescue shelter for street animals (Compassion Unlimited Plus Action, CUPA) and mainly spend my days walking and petting the gazillion dogs they have there. Now, I like dogs and don't mind doing that all day but I came here to learn something too. But at CUPA  I'm not really allowed to participate very much in the veterinary things and stuff and most of the workers don't speak any English so asking them about this and that is difficult. It's also not a very ...

A link to my weblog where I am recording my trip to India.

In a idea more ridiculous than a one legged man entering an ass kicking contest, 8 of your friends are attempting a 2,000km crossing of India in autorickshaws. Cross country. In monsoon season. Setting off from Chennai, wrestling with the brutal power of 150cc's of quality Indian engineering and heading west. 2 weeks away is Mumbai. The only thing between us and the finish is a shortage of roads, mechanical failure, malaria, cholera, monsoon rain and the lack of a decent steak.

I went to India to study social work and lived with my teacher and 13 other students from Sweden in Trichy. It was great and I leard so much about the cultre, religion and the country. After a month of study I traveld 2,5 week in Banglaore, Hampi, Palolem (south Goa) Kochin Trivandrum and ended my trip in Chennai. I meet really nice pepole and I sooooo want to go back. It was intresting to explore "real India" and "tourist india"
