Here are the details about the second Bangalore Photo Walk, to be conducted on June 1, 2008, as given by S Karthik, who is organizing it:
* The walk will happen on 1st June 2008 between Ravindra Kalakshetra and the erstwhile Central Jail
* We begin at 7:30 am sharp - it’s a slightly longish route and there are too many things worth photographing on the route so I think we should start early
* From what I see, I think it’ll be a building-oriented walk. Lots of good buildings in the route
* Some of the buildings that we’ll see during the walk
o Ravindra Kalakshetra
o Sir Puttannachetty Town Hall
o The LIC Building
o The Corporation Building
o Bux-Ranka house
o Hudson Church
o YMCA
o RBI (though I’m not sure if it’s safe to photograph it)
o Daly Hall
o UVCE
o Central Jail
* We should end the walk by around 10 am near the Central Jail, following which we will proceed to Kamat Yatri Nivas for breakfast
* All are welcome. You are welcome even if you don’t carry a camera and are just interested in walking along with us on a nice Sunday morning. Of course you should be prepared to walk
* I’m not sure of parking facilities around the Ravindra Kalakshetra. The nearest bus stop is Town Hall, to where you should get buses from all over the city
* As usual, you don’t need to pay anything. Except for the breakfast of course.
* I would advise you to carry a cap, a water bottle and a camera. I would also advise you to wear comfortable footwear.
* There is a yahoo group I’ve started. it’s called blorephotowalk. Join. I need to approve your membership though
* I request you to give more publicity for this walk. On your blog or website or maybe even in some papers or something :P .
* RSVP. Either leave a comment here (with your name) or mail me at skthewimp[at]yahoo[dot]com
* The latest issue of Bengaluru pages, and citizen matters have carried reviews of the first walk. The CitizenMatters article is at

It’s the new year and also the time when we look out for some new folks to join the Bangalore Metblogs team. Fresh perspective is always welcome on the blog and I think it’s important that we get on board a few new writers who brings along his or her own point of view. Keeps this place more interesting, exciting and dynamic!
To join the team, you need to be:
- Passionate about Bangalore
- Passionate about writing and preferably have a blog so we can get an idea of whether you’re upto the job :)
The Metblogs team has a few core members who have stuck on through the last couple of years and a few members who’ve come in and out. Most of the team know each other and make it a point to have meets once in a while over coffee and dosa to keep the flag flying high! If you’re looking for a great paying job, this is obviously not it! But if you’re looking to join a dynamic and engaging bunch of Bangalore citizens, to discuss issues ranging from infrastructure to environment, and from theatre to tradition, do join in!
If you’d like to join the gang, please contact me on anitabora at yahoo dot com.
The simple way perhaps for Dainik jagran is to steal; y’day came across this edition of city plus and was surprised to see my photo from Bengalooru Habba 07 post being used without due credits in their front page Habba news report….

The stolen photo..
Being familiar with Midday using Metblog photo’s now it’s another daily trying to get their hands on the snaps (protected by creative commons). Not a good gesture from print media for sure!!

Sometimes when I capture few pictures while on the move, these frames then start telling me stories. Stories about realities of life, opportunities and struggle…
A unique window of my third eye, the digi-cam, with which I could see the world at my leisure and try understand looking at the situations with my mind opening up few subtle paradigms.
