Bangalore BMTC Route and Tracking info

Did you know that all BMTC buses have tracking devices installed in them. And CL Infotech has provided a service that allows the public to find out where the bus they are waiting for is, whenever they want. I think this is pretty amazing and useful if you use the BMTC service. Currently this service is available only to track Volvo buses. Hopefully they will upgrade soon.

All you have to do is SMS the service with the route number and you will get an update immediately (while running from your home to the bus-stop). So here is the link with the details. Spread the word. This website also has route info

    Yeah I knew this, one of our Banglorian oops sorry bangluruian friend told us some time back.
    Its just that travelling by Bus in Bangalore is some thing I never did, so will not be able to use this service anyways.
    Remember the auto rides with Geetha full time Prg, it use to fun ride, all roller coster rides of six flags nothing infront of it.

An art and craft super store in Bangalore

I absolutely love visiting a craft supplies store out here in the USA. For one thing it kindles my creativity and another, its fun just going over the hordes of stuff that people do and need supplies for. I'm sure most people from India would feel the same way. I remember when I was in school and needed supplies for a project all I had to do was run to the neighborhood "fancy" store, yeah that's what they were called, atleast in Bangalore, and ask for the specific item I was looking for. If I needed craft paper (or more aptly color paper) there was only 1 kind, at the most 2 and one kind of glue and one kind of card board - K.G card board (if that's the way it is spelt and hmm, I wonder why it was called that). Every aunty I knew in my neighborhood had an interest in art and craft. My mom knew how to emboss on metal, to sew and knit and my neighbors and family friends could knit, crochet, paint on canvas, on cloth, on ceramics, embroider, whole saris sometimes, m...

Work In Progress Wednesday 7

Image
Here is a link to the host of the Work In Progress Wednesday Meme . And here's this wednesday's WIP. I know I've been posting the same bolero and scarf, but I AM a slow knitter. I do have two other swatches on needles, one for Bubba's (DS) sweater and one for a KAL I'm on. But each of them just has a couple of rows on them so a picture will hardly show anything. So I'm saving those for next week. Here's the bolero. My excuses for the slowness - This is the first time I'm doing short rows, so I had to look at multiple videos online to learn it. It's such a cool technique. I had to use it for the high neck of the bolero.  I misinterpreted the pattern at one place and a fellow raveller had to come to the rescue.  My family thinks knitting is my hobby and should be done only in my free time! And they think doing the dishes, vacuuming and other such odd household chores and spending time with the hubby and kid etc should take a higher priority.  In ...

WIPWeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ok, this is my first Work-in-progress Wednesday (WIPW) a meme started by Tami , check out her blog for others' WIPs. I think it's a wonderful idea! So here's my current WIP. It's a lace scarf, my first lace project, my first scarf and my first lace scarf! I ripped the first few rows a couple of times before I got it right. So I've started taking all the necessary precautions - using lifelines (the green threads in the picture), stitch markers, a row counter, I count stitches after every row etc. It's very gratifying to see the travelling fern grow. I wonder if I'm knitting too tight, the cast on edge is curled up a little. I'm hoping blocking will fix that. It's interesting how the pics have turned out. I usually take pictures in natural light (the purpler one) and the picture is not true to the color at all, but the pattern is more visible here. The one taken with the automatic flash (the maroon-er one) is a truer image but still not quite there...
