When the journey is as beautiful as the destinatio

When the journey is as beautiful as the destination. Some vignettes from a road trip to Savandurga. The landscape is awash with the most vibrant shades of nature. And when the nature filter is on, there is no need for any other filter.

Spent a delightful couple of days at the newly opened Park Indore. The 99 room property is a great way to enjoy the city while it allows you to relax and enjoy the local food. The meals are superbly crafted and there is much to do within the property as well. For your next trip to Indore, look no further than @theparkindore

Thrilled with sighting the Collared Kingfisher. A mid-sized kingfisher with a variable plumage pattern; nearly 50 subspecies described worldwide. All of them have a greenish-blue crown, a white spot above (ebird.org).

Did you know that you can reverse diabetes if you eat the right food? Thanks @livealtlife for an insightful session. Sampled this delicious meal put together by @monikamanchanda. The best part is that no flours have been used in any of these four courses. Swipe to see the name cards of these dishes.

I spent some time at Awfis Gold co-working space in Prestige Shantiniketan Whitefield and can say it is a great way to have a change of your work space. Excellent wifi, good food, COVID safety protocols, printing service and meeting spaces which you can get access with credits. Check www.awfis.com for more details.

Purple Passion. Jacaranda mimosifolia is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting violet-colored flowers. It is also known as the jacaranda, blue jacaranda, black poui, Nupur or fern tree. Seen in full bloom in Lalbagh, Bengaluru.

Glimpses from my recent staycation at Signature Club Resort by Brigade Hospitality. I stayed at their villas that are expansive at over 4250 square feet and have four bedrooms across three levels. The food experiences were curated to perfection including a DIY session with the Executive Chef as well as dining under a banyan tree with live music. Perfect for families and friends.

This is the WelcomSthalika at WelcomHotel by ITC H

This is the WelcomSthalika at WelcomHotel by ITC Hotels, Bengaluru. A unique concept that showcases the culinary traditions of the region. So there is a local thaali, based on the WelcomHotel you go to. This one at WelcomCafé Jacaranda is The Karnataka Sthalika that has an interesting selecction of native regional specialties ranging from North Karnataka, Karavali coastal Karnataka, Coorg, South Karnataka and the princely Royal city of Mysore. A great way to experience Karnataka on a plate. Vegetarian at INR 799+taxes and non vegetarian at INR 899+taxes. A meal that I highly recommend you try.
Thanks @amandeep2369 and @iamsimonti for your wonderful company. Loved the custom experience and your attention to detail.

Some of the vegetarian fare I sampled recently at

Some of the vegetarian fare I sampled recently at Glass, a modern Indian restaurant and bar curated by Chef Abhijit Saha at Brigade Group owned Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse. The restaurant is based on an indoor garden setting concept and there is traditional cuisine from different regions of India served in a contemporary manner. Known to work magic with his fingers, Chef Saha has come up with an interesting selection of food here. Sample this: Makki Ki Roti & Sarson Ka Saag Tostadas, Avocado and Khakra, Mock Meat Galauti Kebab with Mint chutney, Mango Pickle & Pomegranate Stuffed Curd Rice Arancini, Father Michael's Burrata Coriander cashew pesto, Makki Ki Raab Roasted corn and popcorn soup, Signature Appam with Stew Espuma, Rendition of Elaneer Payasam and a novel take on rasmalai.

Had the honour of sampling a wonderful menu create

Had the honour of sampling a wonderful menu created by the third year undergraduate students of the Institute of Hotel Management, Bengaluru on the invite of Dean @vasundaradharmaraaj. The food was an eclectic buffet that the students made with much dedication and sincerity. I sampled the vegetarian fare that included a creamy broccoli soup, vegetable tarts, tofu and vegetable curry, herb rice, pulav, raita, Shahi korma and more. Desserts included delightful cupcakes, Christmas cookies and churros. The entire menu that also included several non vegetarian options was varied and had something for everyone. Had a good time interacting with the Staff and students. And good food needs #nofilter. Check my stories too. A wonderful plum cake made by the students.
