Soaring in the skies (Part 1)

I always wanted to go to Kamshet in Pune to do the Paragliding course. However, I could never find the correct time or the company to go all the way to Pune. Then BMC comes as a saviour by organising the course in Nandi hills right here in Bangalore! The moment I read about this, I pounced at it. After aggressive marketting, I convinced both Kitty and Bhat to come along. Starting this weekend. I can hardly wait for the weekend to start!

Meanwhile, this is a link to a solo flights partaken by one of the students who trained under Vrata last week at Nandi hills. I was blown away after seeing this!

I'm sure anyone who's seen this will want to take the course and learn for himself. More updates and photos on my experience after the weekend. Stay tuned!

The two week HogaBoozathon

Wow, its been two weeks of just eating and drinking out. Ever since Sundaresh Kumar came to Bangalore for a month long holiday, its been a fight of gastric juices over the food stuffs. Luckily, my stomach has proved the superior opponent thus far. Just for fun, lets make a list of all the places I visited in the last two weeks in no particular order -

1. Banjara, Jayanagar
2. Kaati Zone, Church Street
3. Barbeque Nation, JP Nagar
4. Gufha, Jayanagar
5. Corner House, Jayanagar
6. Mojos, Residency Road
7. The Only Place, Museum Road
8. Windsor, Jayachamaraj Road
9. Bombay Post, Airport Road
10. Tandoor Express, Banashankari
11. Kamat Upachar, Tumkur Road
12. Pizza Corner, Jayanagar

Not to mention the six meals at Sakleshpur. Phew! No more eating for another two weeks.
