I went to the Kodagu Community blog because of the link they gave to my video of the dance from the region. Never thought the trip would invoke such a response in one corner of the blog world. The blogowner says in a comment on the post- Would you like Kodava culture to be shown…

Anita with the Entire Gang- Third from the Right Anita joined us on the way to Coorg and the first thing that hits you about her is vivaciousness. She is high on life! How I envy her for her travels to Europe and Bhutan. Sudhir picked up a lot of pangs with her but she…

Srinidhi– Second from the Left, Club Mahindra Coorg Trip He was easily the quietest (and one of the youngest) of the bunch, hardly speaking a word to anyone, like a few of my students (yes, I still have a few like that and what a blessing they are). But then I gradually got to talk…

Sudhir Syal, One of the members of the Club Mahindra Coorg Trip I was planning to write the long report about the Club Mahindra sponsored Coorg trip but it is just not happening. So, I thought I would talk about what I can. So, meet Sudhir Syal. On his blog he writes– So, there we…

Table Tennis Table- Picture from Kiruba’s Blog It all started with an email from Arun Nair of Club Mahindra. He asked if I would be interested in visiting Coorg on their expense? Can I ever resist such trips? The only catch in my mind was the flight from Delhi to Bangalore, but he agreed to…

Went on a trip to Coorg that was sponsored by Club Mahindra for travel bloggers (will update on the gang soon). As of now swamped with work. And even though I am no foodie, the highlight of this trip was the wonderful food that was served. I actually polished off all the sweet dishes you…

I am taking a mini break and actually traveling to the south. After all that grading (the necessary evil of an academic job) I am really looking forward to it. You see, because when I come back, I have still more copies to grade. Have you heard about death by grading?

The Big Ben, Westminster, London The Westminster area was the last place I visited in London. I came out of the train and followed the signs that said ‘exit for London Eye.’ It was already dark by then. After taking a boat ride on Thames, I headed back to the Westminster train station and then…

Remember that Oktatabyebye Photo Contest? I got to hear from them about the air ticket. I can fly from anywhere to anywhere in India. I am wondering where should I go? The pity is that it is for one person (and I have to pay the taxes), so either Sesha decides to come anyway or…
