Lalbagh Revisited

We had a terrific beginning of the year 2018 with Iyengar Yoga Intensive at Bellur by a very profound Iyengar Yoga Teacher Rita Keller from Germany. This was our second consecutive workshop with her in Bellur. We were deeply touched by her affection and love apart from her deep intellectual and insightful teaching of yoga. Since the workshop was for 3 long weeks, she took us on an excursion to Lalbagh in Bengaluru. After two hours of bus ride we arrived at Lalbagh. Hyderabadi boys got disappointed when they found Rita Keller is booking EMV's (Electric Motor Vehicles) to explore the park. When we expressed our willingness to walk, she said we go round the corner in EMV's and then every individual is free to walk thereafter. We then happily boarded the EMV's.  These EMV's run on battery and are environmental friendly. The driver sharing some insight about an ancient tree with the group. Sridevi, Tulsi and Viru having some fun. This is dear Marcus ca

Just after the yoga sessions, we the students from Hyderabad went for a lunch in a popular restaurant called Manohar in Pune. Virupaksha, Rajararam and I were planning about the trip to Bhima Shankar. Vishva who was sitting next to us asked whether he could join us. We welcomed him and fortunately he turned out to be a savior for us.  Had Vishva not there, the trip would h
