“What’s there to see in Karnataka, apart from Hampi and Mysore?”, asked a friend earnestly. Too True. The most obvious choices for a weekend trip would be to a jungle retreat or to a Coorg home-stay. A day trip would either be Srirangapatna or Nandi hills.The culture lovers would pay a visit to Mysore or Hampi. Moreover, though I was born and brought up in Bangalore, I could not give a better answer than a feeble, “I’ll send an email”. This was a decade back and it set me thinking.
Do we really know our state well? The Western Ghats, its people, their way of life, the long Konkan coast, the green Mysore & Coorg belt, the eastern and northern parts where rainfall is much lesser and life’s much tougher and of course the colourful history of Bangalore – we are lucky to have all this diversity. The question that instigated me to know much more about the region, also made me want to share the same with others and that’s how Unhurried started.
