Parting Shots Part 2 (IIM Indore)

 Some more shots.. 

These two are sunset shots, the rest are of Sunrise 18th Nov. 2020.

Golfing After a While

There are many unexplored Golf courses around. One of my wishes is to play on lots of them. So one more was checked off recently, the ASC at Bangalore. Thanks to Muthu, my golfer friend (we were friends before we turned regular golfers). Some pics-

 Tee near the tee.

 Selfie for starters..

 ..and one later..

 That guy behind is swinging, but I have the ball.

Never forget the views..even when you concentrate on your game.

 ..because they are fabulous.

 Like this tree, which resembles the logo of some corporate.

 This man was also found swinging his club around.
..and this one joined him.

 Below- the family, with Muthu behind me, his FIL sitting with me, (and his BIL and his wife)..there's a 'swing'  involved here too.

Teacher's Day

In India, September 5 is celebrated as Teacher's Day. I had a rather unique one. I was in Belgaum, where my father grew up, to visit an institute for a guest lecture to their students. Gogte Institute of Technology has an MBA program where I was. Very hospitable faculty folks made it a nice trip. Had a nice informal discussion about their plans, now that they have become autonomous, within the VTU (university).

Belgaum has limited flights, so my return flight was from Goa. Which meant a beautiful drive through the Western Ghats from Belgaum to reach Goa airport. I would recommend this drive to anyone interested in natural beauty-particularly in this season. I was reminded of another drive through the Western ghats when we drove from Bangalore to Gokarna a few years ago through Agumbe. Sunsets there are fabulous.

Belgaum is a nice mid-sized town with great weather. I have been there a few times, and loved it every time. Also watched the first-ever IPL match in the first series when I was there. That was an earlier trip, for a nephew's wedding.

Postcards from Bali- 1

You are going to be subjected to lots more of this, since I just happened to visit Bali, one of the loveliest places on earth. It is also culturally rich, and may compete with Bhutan for a high Happiness Index, if you know what I mean (I hope I do, at least). First time after Kanyakumari that I got to dip my feet in the Indian Ocean too.
