Having little time to spare, India Travel Blog has not seen many due updates in this month. It is going to remain so for another week. But being busy did not stop me from making time to travel. I made a trip to Gokarna three weeks ago, and to Melukote last weekend. All those trip reports will duly filed on India Travel Blog a week or two later. Till then, ‘busy’ is the word.

At Melukote
The road looks inviting. How much of it will be covered, time alone can say.
* End of this month – Gokarna
* Some time in Nov/Dec – Karwar
* Some time in Nov/Dev – Thadiyandamol
* December – Hampi
* Jan or Feb 08 – Auli
* August or Sep 08 – Valley of Flowers and Kuari Pass or Chopta Valley
* October 08 – Gochela
I also want to squeeze in Madurai somewhere. I know, the last two are like planning too far into future. But the idea happens to be buzzing in my mind.
A few of my friends and fellow photographers are holding a photography exhibition this weekend(Sep 7,8 and 9) at Chitrakala Parishat, called Wide Angle 2007. See more details on it at wideangle.in. A few words from Anita, one of the photographers:
“Besides showcasing our work, we would also like to raise funds for our benificiary – Jagruthi – a Bangalore based voluntary organisation working with children affected with AIDs. Pixetra has also extended their support to us. We would be really happy if you can make it and support our cause.
The inauguration is on Sept 7 at 5 pm at the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishad premises. Besides the exhibition, we also have well-known photographers Anand Sharan and Dr Manoj Sindagi who will come and interact with the audience on the Sept 8 and 9.”
