Incredible Saga Of A Market In Mysore
| Did you know that the word MARKET may have Kannada origins? Some believe that the etymology of this word is linked to the Kannada words “Marata,” which means “Sell or Sale,” and the word “Katte,” which means a sitting place like a stone bench, etc.. Whatever the case, we look at the unique heritage of the Devaraja Market of Mysore. The market’s origin dates back more than a century.

If this happens, it would mean the end of an era, as the original old-world charm would cease to exist. Read more → |

Legendary Restaurant In Mysore – Mylari
| A restaurant serving delectable dosas since 1938. Taste that has wooed generations with its original flavours. We visited this legendary restaurant called Old Original Vinayaka Mylari, whose dosas are legendary. We had heard about them from our father, who had spent his childhood in Mysore, so the visit was special for us in more ways than one. The dosas were fluffy and had a unique texture, while the idlis melted in the mouth. On your next visit, do pay a visit to this restaurant, which is part of Mysore’s timeless legacy. Read more → |

Review of Hotel Lake View, Ooty
| Ooty is one of South India’s most popular hill stations. Come summer, people from the cities make a beeline for it to escape from the heat of the plains. Of late, Ooty has faced the brunt of overcrowding, and its pristine nature has deteriorated, however, it still retains its popularity. There are many resorts and hotels, but we personally liked the Lake View Hotel, which we have stayed in a couple of times. If you are planning a trip to Ooty, do check out our review of the hotel.
