On
days, when I can't go out of town, I drive around town to look for
interesting places. This time, on a rainy day,while driving around
Benson town into Richards town,we came across a store called 'Apaulogy'.
aPaulogy Gallery
hosts the sketches of renowned cartoonist Paul Fernandes. Paul sketches
scenes from Old Bangalore,the houses,the gardens,the mannerisms etc. If
you are from or love Bangalore,you HAVE to visit aPaulogy. Here you
will see Bangalore as it was 20 to 30 years ago. From impees to Com
Street to MG road. These sketches are available for sale as posters,
coasters, bags and other paraphernalia. Visit aPaulogy and you will not
be disappointed.
Situated at around 30-35 km from Port Blair is a beautiful,sandy,shallow beach called Collinpur. Since its situated a little away from the city, the beach is cleaner and quieter. Its covered by dense vegetation and you wont know that you're near the sea until you actually see it. Its a long stretch flanked by a hill on one side and since the gradient is not steep,its ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The main attraction for me was however, another beach called Kurma Dera. This beach is situated a little farther from Collinpur and is more deserted and quieter. The car couldn't go upto the beach and we had to walk nearly 2-2.5 km to reach the beach. The walk was through a very muddy and slushy path along a creek andd I expected to see a crocodile pop out any second. In fact, the second time we went to these beaches, we heard of crocodile attacks on the same day corresponding to our visit. Kurma means shells and I found the most amazing shells on this beach. And what surprise
