The first information you find about Fireflies on the web will be on the music festival which takes place in the area every year. But since, I was there for work I can’t say anything about that. Still these pictures of the Fireflies Ashram (Kaggalipura Post, Bangalore)taken during my morning stroll around the area should give you an idea of what it is really like.For me it was like living in a small wood and the food was just amazing!
I did not have any good name for the trip. In fact I did not give any thought to naming it either. It was the first trip of its kind but that was all I thought. My mind was too preoccupied with the presentation I was to make to think of anything else. But when this guy at the airport took my e-ticket , highlighted the flight with his blue marker and initiated a very short conversation, he named the trip for me.

Chilled Trip
Hmm…….
Nice thought…that herioic deed wala..thats funny and sweet.
and its ur second international trip ho ni..haina ra ?
and U are unapproaching….never mind…u need not come out of ur cocoon just for the heck of networking…if u do good…u need not have that network and all….
and anyways…
I wish u had written sth abt ur presentation..I mean sth u learnt their..sm insights…..
Yah it was the second Intl’ trip ( though we rarely see India as anything International here) 
…but it was the first official ‘intl trip’ I guess apart from some flights to Pokhara ( which felt awesome too and I did my share of ‘mock boasting’ as my friends are mostly traveling by land …u know how the first times feel…all so good )..and we did have a presentation in the first Intl trip too..though due to the language barrier in Japan ( even English)…the presentation did not have the desired discussion as expected for me..still it was a good exposure…but while making tis presentation in Bglore..there was an outburst from the audience in the middle of it…my topic was this ’south asia response to the international regime on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture’ ..yah vast n the moment these intl’ regimes come in, moreover WTO etc..it angers most I notice…
thanks for the suggestion…I’ll write scribble sth on the issue , for my own clarity and deal with the experience…maybe in a few days when m done with another programme on this food security , IPRs and agriculture etc….
Woah!!! Coool man!! A B trip 
exciting and awesome!!! Congrats!!! hope there will be many more in the future!

Beautiful photos with explanatory captions made this post wonderful to go through. The previous entry on B Trip was superb. Full of a fantastic sense of humor and a different perspective on traveling. Wanted to know more about that lucky flying steward. Thanks for writing about it. One disagreement though: I think Bangalore is better when it is called Bangalore, not Bunguluruuuu or whatever. That is already an internationally recognized and famous brand name . It has even become a verb…that describes the phenomena of jobs being lost in the U.S. because of the employers moving work to Bangalore or other parts of India. But then I hear that Bunguluruuuu or whatever has become the formal name of Bangalore these days.

बेंगलोर के हो ? बुझ्न चाहनुहुन्छ भने M.G. Road पुग्नोस, अनी कसैको मुखारव्रिन्दबाट एक नै सहि हिन्दी शब्द सुने आफुलाई भाग्यमानी ठान्नोस् । Dictionary बेच्न बसेकी एक केटीलाई यसो रवाफ झाडौं न त भनेर एक दुई वाक्य अंग्रेजी के फुत्काइया थ्यो उल्टै उताबाट आएको अंग्रेजिको बाढिमा आफ्नो ज्यान बचाउन कस्तो हम्मे पर्यो । लाजले गालै रातो भा थ्यो ।
बेंगलोर ब्यस्त when i was in Banglore in our india tour…but reading u i foung it calm seeing the picture

Just what I was thinking Avinashi…very much like Borderlands..which had me worrying the moment we reached that ’something’ might go very wrong back home !! …but this place has less human interference like the well-trimmed bushes etc in Borderlands….no 24/7 sound of the river too ( wich makes Borderlands better)
n Bangalored I didn’t know that it was Bengaluru until I landed in the aiport myself..it read “Bengaluru Intl airport’…must be some ‘U’ usage in Kannad…they spell ‘Basumati’ to what we call ‘Basmati’ rice here etc…or maybe this is just similar to replacing “Bombay” with “Mumbai” etc…there was a nice article in an Indian newspaper on these names…talking of the terroist attack in the railway station in Mumbai etc….here is an older article on this Bengaluru/ Bangalore thing
n thanks for reading everyone!
