Warli

I was eager to attend the painting workshop conducted in our office. Came to know about a new word 'Warli'. This is a kind of painting which we might have seen in many restaurants or office reception. Warli is originated from tribes of Maharashtra. This art is usually painted white on a dark background mostly brown, but it can be any combination of colors too. I was given a Warli image to replicate the same with my choice of colors on a handmade paper. I found it very easy since it was free hand and whatever I painted was also an art of my creation. Men can be easily represented only with triangles, circles and lines. Women is differentiated by an extra circle on head. These kind of paintings depict the daily life of people, their culture, festivals, dance and other activities. Someone who has interest in painting but has never taken brush on hand are also welcome to this colorful Indian painting to rejoice the joy of art and colors.

Boring Harry Potter

I always had a feel because it is fictious, fantasy, wizards, strange characters with lot of imagination. I remember in my school days probably 10 years back I started reading the 1st part Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone. I thot I may understand if I concentrate properly and go thro few pages. But it did not happen. I felt it was vague... Hogwards, witchcraft, Wizard, Dumbledore my god what are all these. Watched the last part Harry Potter and the deathly hallows-2 last evening and I enjoyed it the most in 3D. I actually joined others to watch some movie in hall to taste caramel pop corn with pepsi. But it was amazing to see the picturisation, performance of each character, huge antique look buildings, music, back ground score. The climax was nice, funny and we smiled. Hands together filled the hall, is it because of the Harry Potter series is over and we liked the movie? It tempts me to watch the entire series of 7 parts oops it is 8. Started liking and boring Harry became interesting Potter to me.

FoodSpot - Maharaja

Authentic restaurant that serves typical Andhra food. Serving starts in a properly cut banana leaf with puri and sabzi, followed by heap of white rice, dhal powder, ghee, sambar, rasam, dhal spinach, veg curry, papad, big bowl of set curd, sweet, banana.  Ambience is not bad and service is too good. Unlimited meals is of reasonable rate, we will do justification for the paid money. I usually eat this not so spicy tasty food more than what my tummy can allow.  It also serves Chinese, Andhra style briyani and chicken items. Have tasted few and everything was so delicious. Don’t miss to savor Andhra gongura with rice. Meal is complete with beeda sold in this restaurant's beeda stall.

Can reach there by walking towards Sony world signal from Oasis mall, Koramangala, taking a left and walking down for 200 m approx and it will be found on your left next to Reliance showrooms.  

 

Kesar Kulfi

People who have been to Jayanagar 4th block wouldnt have missed the shopping bazaar and cool joint, famous for sandwich and icecream. The lane right behind the cool joint is a small parlour selling kulfi, sugar cane juice is also sold. Varieties of kulfis like Kesar, Badam, Pista, Elaichi in various blends are available in reasonable rates. For the past 4 years the shop looks the same, simple but with delicious kulfis. It is rich in kova and melts like butter, mouth- watering even now. People are addicted to this who intentionally hang over in this area for the kulfis and cool joint.

Avan Ivan

Loud laugther filled the entire theatre in first half, post intermission was serious and terrific. There were no much heart breaking scenes in his usual formula thanks to Bala. Vishal's acting was amazing, hopefully he gets an award for his stunning performance with squint eyes and nalinam. Movie narrates the association of Kamudhikottai zamindar with 2 brothers Valter and Kumudren sami and their family, with Kamudhi as the background, its people, their slang, lifestyle. His usual way of making fun on police, rough looking hero, beautiful and little loose type heroine, godfather for the hero, smoking woman scolding in abusing terms are not missing. As in Naan kadavul climax made me say 'Oh the movie got over??',expected something to happen in climax. Overall movie was gud in terms of comedy and had a feel of watching drama which was not bad.

Aththo

I have been to Madurai last weekend, an amazing city always crowded and active people around. Tasted a new dish, I have never heard before- Aththo. When my relative was telling about this I had a false imagination of appam kind. But it was a many ingredient stuff including noodles as the base and thattai, raw cabbage and onion, red chillies, bengal gram and much more. It is prepared in a road side small cart in Meenakshi bazaar which is crowded always and maintained well. We have to be there on time to taste it, otherwise it gets over so quickly.

Ko, way to go

A complete 2.40 hrs entertainer with a perfect blend of tragedy, romance, comedy, pleasing music. I watched it without any hint about the story and enjoyed from start till end. Each character and every scene was startling and essential for the story. The cinematography was notable and re-recording was amazing. Neglecting few logical hitches, interesting screen play, unexpected plot in the climax and beautiful ending made this movie a knockout.
