Finally got the day off that was needed! But also on the luckily on the first day of the Kalaghoda festival. I would say in the many of the visits we generally make, the first visit should always be alone. All the time needed to walk through the fest you can get. Its like getting the whole feel of the place. And after you there, do you feel the vibe in the air which says creativity art and fun!
So today on the day one of Kalaghoda 2015, i walked around the entire festival, bought a bag which was made out jeans! not just denim but jeans! In the main chowk of Kalaghoda opposite the Sasson library or which is otherwise the parking area right outside the Jehangir Art Gallery, is a stall which was selling bags, diaries etc made up of old used jeans! All types of jeans were used! They are calling this entire setup as 'Bum Bags'. It is called as the denim project by a Bangalore based NGO ' A hundred hands'. They make these recycled products to provide employment to the needy. Their Stall No is 62 NGO Section. It's must visit and buy also!
This is the bag i got for Rs 500.
Also, there is the Heritage Bus Tour which takes people around the famous spots like CST, Taj, Marine Drive etc. Its free! And only available on the weekends at 4.30 and 5.30 pm. The passes are available from 2 pm to 2.30 pm at the help desk. Try and get the passes for seats 1 - 30 as they are the upper open deck seats. Here are some photos i took from the Bus Tour
