KGAF 2016 :)




Reason to Smile: The KalaGhoda Art Festival 2016 as exciting as it may seem always has its own charm with immense creativity and ideas on introspection in abundance.

The festival also features some events that has several interests of creative minds flowing in for its display for free. Plays, Concerts, Reading, Movie screenings and what not !

Some friends obviously scattered in different groups decided to check the science fiction art thats always there for the display for 9 days clubbing the two weekends of February every year. The entire event is sponsored by Hindustan Times paying a tribute to various situations and concerns one comes across in this bustling city of Mumbai. Whether its child abuse, or traffic jams, or public transport in the city; or the masks people wear around us; its all out there in the form of creativity for our perspective to recap on what we may have missed. Its surely a wonderful effort for the layman to take a peak inside the city that offers not one but many facets of  life without even touching some of our lives. :)

While the entire place is way too crowded it is the photographer's delight to capture some really amazing art to its screen making it far more challenging :P ;)

We also heard about the Japanese Food Fest that was going around town at Palladium. Not so cool that we thought it would be, we only wanted to learn how to hold the chopsticks to eat the country food :P Also, the very famous Kung-Fu that its known for was being presented by some students who had mastered the skill :) It was indeed interesting to see some nice self defense techniques one can use to save ourselves in daily troubled lives.

Rohan, Me, Sonali and her friend then headed to Worli Sea face to just enjoy the breeze and the sunset after a tiring yet an eventful day at KGAF :)

Some pics on FB :) Do check it out and Keep Smiling :)

Offbeat Goa :)

Reason to Smile : The joblessness no matter how critical it may seem doesn't affect my travel life. There is nothing more that I can love about that. This time I got another chance to visit Goa. I was fortunate enough to explore those parts of Goa that I had not visited. I was there for a week and let me try and list them for my memories. Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary  is located in South Eastern  Goa.   It constitutes one of the vital corridors of the  Western Ghats  and covers an area of 211.05 km.  Netravali or Neturli is an important tributary of  River Zuari , which originates in the sanctuary. Forests mostly consist of moist deciduous vegetation interspersed with evergreen and semi-evergreen habitat. It is adjacent to  Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve , Karnataka on the eastern side,  Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary , Goa on the southern side and  Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park  on the northern sid...

Honnavar :)

Image
Reason to Smile: The lush green views, the rice and wheat plantations, the foggy mountains, the wet silver curvy roads and we 3 girls on a road trip. It all begins with this thought and check where we land up :) Honnavar - One small city in Karnataka, very close to Kumta, Gokarna, Murudeshwara Temple and many more such popular places. We headed straight to Madhu's native where her uncle lived. Her Mamaji, as we all affectionately called him, greeted us and was very strict about maintaining the schedule of our trip, for he was our official guide to take us to umpteen places around for sight seeing. Honnavar is a place not many people know about. We succumbed to a feeling that it was a good monsoon time to explore something unusual, less popular, and less commercial :) Day 1: So our first stop was a drive to Mirjan Fort. A huge fort located towards the South of Gokarna, about 30 kms from Honnavar is a fort that attracts visitors with its majestic looks.  As one enters the fo...

Kugaon Fort + Palasdeo Temple :)

Reason to Smile: The movie made its roar in the Marathi film industry with all new faces as very sensitive and challenging characters as their debut. I have only heard about the movie and its feel shot at the backdrop of scenic adventure beautified by Kugav Fort near Solapur. I had seen them too in some of their promos on TV. While it looked exuberantly vibrant and beautiful, it was time to see whether it gives the same impact in real lights too ;) So without a doubt, there are number of nature lovers like me who had the same thought running on their minds. Ironically the place becomes just more popular only because its got highlighted in some movie. Or else Kugaon Fort was always there - just that it got visible to the public eye after 56 years of its existence !! Because all this while it was submerged under the crystal clear waters of River Bhima of Kugaon Village. It has significantly no traces of its charm on the web. So, it was surely not google this time to locate the place....
