Garlic Fields, Shringi, Himachal Pradesh I was sitting with the laptop and looking at all my pictures uploaded at Picasa. I have uploaded seven albums (Spiti, Prashar Lake, UK, Coorg, Shringi 1, 2 and Nainital). I did manage to visit a few places in 2007. But it may not be possible in 2008 as I…
Dance Performance at Club Mahindra, Coorg
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgjPgZ_YR5M&rel=1] I thought I would upload a video of one of the dance performances we saw at the Club Mahindra premises at Coorg. And in the background you can see the row of containers that had our dinner. I think the reason I am really not getting back to my normal routine is that lavish…
Pictures from Coorg
Club Mahindra, Coorg I am back to the ‘death by grading’ routine again. In the meanwhile, here are some of the pictures from Club Mahindra sponsored Coorg trip for bloggers.
To Coorg with Club Mahindra!
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…
Off Tomorrow!
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?
Remember the Mind the Gap Post?
A few days back I wrote about mind the gap announcements on the London tube. Then I got a mail from Steve of Gonomad sending me a link to this news- The woman behind the gentle, even voice which warns London’s subway commuters to “Mind the gap” was fired after telling a newspaper she thought…
Lazy Sunday Photo- The Big Ben, London
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…
Oktatabyebye- Remember that Air Ticket?
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…
Things I Don’t Even Dream Of!
All Souls College, Oxford, UK Of all the places I visited I liked my stay at the Oxford best. But that account will have to wait for sometime. While I was coming back, I was so tired and exhausted on the flight and yet I could not sleep at all. Also for the first time…
Managed Communities?
Saw this very fascinating post on the blog of Professor Robert V. Kozinets. I have tried to use Netnography, the methodology he proposed to study online communities. I always thought of consumer communities as self-formed or at least easy enough to join. And of course the one I use most is related to travel- Indiamike.com….
