SHANDE

Being member of metblogs community I had been to the new Bengaluru International Airport(BIA) officially. The visit was conducted by communications team of BIAL for blogging communities of Bangalore to showcase the airport before the actual opening on May 11th.


In the visit our host showed the progress of construction work, which is almost complete and some unique features of airport. Even though the airport not a visually appealing one, but it looks like a international one - a kind of airport Bangalore deserves. I stumbled upon the natural lighting and pleasant interiors.

Read the more detailed report at Bangalore Metblogs - Visit to BIA.

Also have a look at my Flickr Photoset-BIA.

Pes-Ctrl-Esc-Boys group ! sounds weird right .. actually we had a group by the same name, yahoo group to be precise in our engineering days. Now, the group is not that active and the creator-cum-owner of the group Chetan is in US for higher studies. However, once or twice in a year we make sure to get together for a trip.

A few members of our group decided go for a short bike trip around Bangalore on Saturday(March-29-2008). The obvious choice was Nandi hills due to several reasons - decent roads, moderate distance (60 km - ideal distance for a bike trip). Besides myself the participants were Madhukar, Ritesh, Praveen, Alok, Madhan, Rohith, Anand and Sandeep H.R. Totally we had 6 bikes( 4 pulsars, 1 victor, 1 scooter). The trip got materialized because of initiative taken by Madhukar. He called each one of us got confirmation for the trip and simultaneously initiated a mail chain.
