Viral times The latest import from China, the Corona Virus is sweeping across the media portals (not yet the populace but that doesn’t stop it from becoming, well, viral).

EDIT

From 24x7 breaking news channels to our morning dailies to news online to endless forwards on WhatsApp (that ultimate platform for dissemination of all news and views, fake or otherwise there is no way of knowing) – the messages are spreading faster than the actual virus.

The media is in the grip of the deadly Chinese virus

No sooner than a news item of this type appears, along come the torrent of remedies and scares in equal measure. How so-and-so’s third cousin from his father’s side twice removed, gave in to this deadly virus brought on by the Chinese eating bats of all things.

And invariably someone will put forward an ancient Indian cure with its roots in Ayurveda for just such a condition as foreseen by some wise sage thousands of years ago: Take two spoons of lemon juice and ginger juice in equal parts, mix it with Himalayan rock salt and a dash of organic jaggery and gulp the whole concoction before your morning cuppa on an empty stomach, do this for the next three months, and oh yes, don’t forget to follow it up with a glass of warm water, one hour of sunshine, one hour of brisk walking and plenty of rest.

All this, before breakfast at 8, mind it.

How much can we save ourselves from? Corona virus, swine flu virus, mad cow virus, rhesus monkey virus, the common cold virus… aaargh!

It seems there is only one way to save ourselves from getting irrevocably infected by all these deadly viruses – take a detox break from the viral media.

GETTING AROUND TOWN

Tour operators, forex, visa assistance, helplines...

B

engaluru is a traveller’s delight. It starts with the air conditioned Volvo buses and the pre-paid taxi counter at the airport. Not to mention, the pre-paid auto counters at the city’s railway stations. But the finest example is the ease with which you can navigate the central business district of MG Road and around with the Big 10 buses. You can hop on and hop off at any point after your shopping expedition. But the finest experience will be the first reach of the Namma Metro train running from Old Madras Road to MG Road.

Happy travels.

W

ith Bengaluru, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Air Conditioned City to Aviation Capital to Garden City, this small town turned technopolis has added a new word to the American lexicon: ‘Bangalored’. It means ‘to lose one’s job’ as a result of off shoring work to India.

That’s not all. The city is emerging as a medical tourism hub in India by offering ‘First World Service at Third World Cost’. What’s more, the best and the brightest multinationals are spicing up the retail scene by test-marketing large format stores like Reebok, Levi’s, Adidas, Esprit and Nautica. It’s become a ‘yuppie heaven’. Now that’s yet another sobriquet for the city.

With the Metro Rail opening in phases, things are getting better by the day. Visit the city and be bowled over.

HIT THE HIGH NOTES Pubs, clubs, lounge bars...

T

he city is famous for its bars and pubs.

It’s called the Beer Capital of India. With good reason. But the best reason to pub hop?

It’s cosmopolitan crowd and the niche pubs that serve a select clientele. There are lounge spaces for the ladies, retro lovers and jazz enthusiasts. Not to mention, resto-bars, sports bars, roof-top bars, hookah bars, dance bars and cigar lounges for the casual and adventurous. Not to mention, the city’s first wine boutique pub. Reason enough to rewind, reboot and restart.

•Alcohol may not be served at some of these places, as per Supreme Court regulation.

Please call the pub/restaurant to confirm.

Adventure unlimited Experience the wild side of life at Bandipur Tiger Reserve & National Park

BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

P

opularised recently in the Man vs Wild series featuring celebrities in extreme environs, Bandipur National Park is an 874-sq km forested reserve in Karnataka, known also for being a tiger reserve.

Bandipur was once upon a time the private hunting ground of the Maharajas of Mysore. Today it is a designated national park by the Government of India under the Wildlife Division. Being one of the first nine Tiger Reserves in the country, Bandipur is in the forefront of eco-tourism for several decades now. Eco-tourism activity is operated in the two ranges of Bandipur and GS Betta. It’s well planned with administrative facilities and halting facilities for travellers, including private tourist resorts as well. The Reserve has an advantage in having practically round the year eco-tourism activities for visitors seeking recreation and a chance to witness an authentically wild environment.

This pristine Reserve is an open invitation to serious students of the plant and animal life, as well as wildlife photographers and adventure enthusiasts.

There are excellent opportunities of viewing the diverse wildlife and the flora in their natural habitat. The tigers and the elephants are the flagship and umbrella species for the conservation of all the bio life that this ecosystem represents.

98 | FEBRUARY FIRST HALF| 2020

BANGALORE

Travel&Shop Bio-geographically, Bandipur Tiger Reserve lies in one of the richest biodiversity areas of our country representing “5 B Western Ghats Mountains Biogeography Zone�, surrounded by Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in the South, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary in the South West, and on the North West Side the Kabini Reservoir separates the Bandipur and Nagarahole Tiger Reserve. The Northern side of the Tiger Reserve is surrounded by human dominated landscape with villages and agricultural lands.

The park is one of the 15 sanctuaries selected across India for Project Tiger, a scheme launched in 1973, by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature in conjunction with the Indian Government. The project is designed to save the tiger and its natural habitat from potential dangers. Other natural inhabitants of this lovely forest are gaur, sambhar, chital, mouse deer, four-horned antelope, wild boar, jackal, sloth bear, panther, Malabar squirrel, porcupines and the black-knapped hare. Birds like jungle fowl and green pigeon are also found here. The panoramic scenic views here are bewitching in their wild beauty.

Head out to Bandipur on a weekend to experience the thrill of seeing wildlife in their natural lush habitats, and come back enriched in spirit and mind.

engaluru is a metaphor of an India that has arrived on the global scene. And this begins with worldclass self-sustaining ‘mixed use’ townships. Not to mention, smart digital homes that let you control your household appliances, lights and even the garage door from the comfort of your office. All you need to do is press a button or swipe a card. That’s making the most of smart technology where Wi-Fi enabled houses can automatically take care of all your household needs like dusting, cooking, laundry, bathroom, security and entertainment. You can not only watch what’s happening at home through Wi-Fi enabled webcams but also control the temperature of your fridge and microwave.

This is your very own Utopia. Make the most of it.
