This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi ….. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
Bindu & Krishnan Dear ModiJi, We are currently touring TamilNadu as part of our ShikshaDaan Yatra and we visited an amazing school called KalaiMagal High school at Sivakasi. It has nearly 8000 students, 300 teachers and 5 principals. It’s catering to several small villages around Sivakasi. We attended an event called “gift of education” which was being conducted … Read more
Bottom Line On Top – IT’s POSSIBLE. So save your arguments :). For 40 days in Himachal we managed to live, buy things and store them without plastic bags because they are banned in Himachal. I always carry cloth bags with me so it was easy to manage. The only challenge we had was getting … Read more

While we knew some of the things we must eat during this trip of ours, we found a few more interesting places as well. First, in Madurai, we knew we had to have the “Jigarthanda” and eat at Murugan Idli … Read more

Booked the TTDC hotel in Cutrallam, for two nights. We reached late in the afternoon on the 15th and the roads were so … Read more

We started from Chennai only at 7.20 am and stopped for nearly 20 minutes to update a bank password. Our original plan was to leave by 6 am because the distance is nearly 460 kms from Chennai to Madurai. While we had been told and we read on online forums, that the roads are fantastic, … Read more
The modern life cannot be lived without a cellphone connection – preferably 3G and 4G because you need to tweet your position, Whatsapp your lunch, update your mood on Facebook and speak on endless conference calls for work.
