To get more water in your taps…CYCLE first! Sounds weird? NO! That’s what a resident of our this club”. He and his friends have taken up cycling as a neighborhood has hit upon a novel idea to bind/sensitize hobby/fitness activity. our neighborhoods together… though a cycle club! This club is specific about its activities. Members meet Ashok Betraj, a technocrat and resident of Kalyan Nagar during weekends/holidays and go for long drives (20-25 1st Block had tried several methods to infuse his kms) with necessary gear in tow! Members are notified of neighbors to take up Rainwater Harvesting to tide over the the weekend jaunts by SMS and a route map of these water woes our neighborhoods have been facing many ‘yatras’ is mailed to them in advance (during the week years over. But, with no luck…the idea of a cycle club was itself). Fitness freaks amongst this lot also meet daily formed! Says Ashok “Though this cycle club is aimed at (Kalyana Mahaganapathi Temple, Kalyan Nagar 1st fitness and fun…I and my friends have decided to achieve Block) at 6.30 a.m. and 10.00 p.m. and cycle on the a sizeable membership first…and then take up many thoroughfares of our neighborhoods! relevant issues (as a group for maximum effect) that are dogging our neighborhoods and sensitize people through Adds, Ashok “The first activity (of this club) is to take up RWH. We have pr e par ed leaf lets/messa ge

boards/presentations and talk to residents during our ‘yatras’. Once we achieve a fair degree of success…we will focus on Garbage Management/Tree Planting and other issues later”. The membership is FREE and open to both men and women. The only requirement is to have a bicycle and the passion for cycling (either for fun or fitness) and the urge to do your bit to the neighborhoods you live in! In the bargain, if you can get more water in your taps or live in a garbage-free environment…why not? To be a part of this club, contact: Ashok Betraj on 99012 17968 / 2545 9285 or mail betraj@apsarain.com / betraj1@satyam.net.in

Keep our planet green... Recycle plastic Sri Kalyana Maha Ganapathi Temple, Kalyan Nagar announces YAJUR VEDA SAMHITA YAGA .....Move over Cubbon Park Aquarium…there is a competitor to you in Bangalore! Bangalore’s biggest Aquarium or rather a supermarket (Aqua-market) has been set up in our neighborhood! Welcome to VARSHA AQUAMAX on 100 feet Road, HRBR 1st Block…all of 3000 sft that houses A to Z of fishes! This exclusive supermarket is dedicated to Aquariums and Aquarium products and is virtually a one-stop-shop. ..... Says a beaming Prakash, Proprietor “Chennai is the hub of Aqua products in South India. But, since Bangaloreans have always welcomed new concepts with open arms…we wanted to set up the biggest shop for aqua products in our city. Once a customer walks in…he should be able to buy anything and everything related to aqua products”. .....The store is akin to a supermarket. Neatly arranged shelves that houses aqua products to aquariums to live plants to artificial plants to fish food to medicines and then the lovely fishes…this has it all! Varsha Aquamax is the sole distributor of ‘AQUASSTAR’ (a popular name that deals with aqua products) in Karnataka and has also tied up with leading Aquarium manufactures like ‘Ocean Free, Sunsun and R S Electrical’ to distribute aquariums (wholesale/retail) in the state. And the fishes…you name it! They have it! Vaastu fishes like Arowana, Feng-Shui Fish along with Goldfish/Angelfish/Fighters are fast selling! .....Adds, Prakash “We have both Fresh water and Marine water fishes in our store… And the prices are very reasonable. You could buy a Goldfish for 20 rupees, a bowl for 500 rupees…add in a few decorative elements (gravel)…your small aquarium is ready!”

Air Stones, Bubble Walls, whole range of filters, Pond Pumps, UV Sterilizers, Automatic Fish Feeders, Heaters, Lighting equipment are all available in plenty! So are the various types of Fish food. Floating pellets, Cichlids, Flakes, Specialty Food, Color Enhancers…the list is endless! The range of Fish Medicines…this supermarket has is bewildering! From constipation to liver disorder…which fishes are prone to…medicines are available! Also, this aqua-market has corals, sea-horses and many endangered species made out of fiber…since having them live is banned in the country! .....Varsha Aquamax caters to all sections of society; Individuals, Retailers, Dealers and Corporates. Another highlight is that for BULK ORDERS (Retailers/Corporates) the prices of Aquariums are that of Chennai plus the transportation costs! They also undertake maintenance of Aquariums at a nominal price (depending on the size). .....Sumps up, Prakash “After, we have set-up this aqua-market…scores of children drop in the evening just to watch these fishes! It is slowly turning into a museum…I guess! But, the point is…we would like to take this hobby to the next dimension, with this Aqua-market offering all under one single roof”. .....So next time…your child (or you) wants to look at the beautiful fishes you could either go to Cubbon Park or visit Varsha Aquamax! Alaeshveebam VS Srinivaas avs77@yahoo.com

.....The highlight of the aquariums sold here is that the GLASS is well rounded, unlike others, where pieces of glass are fixed to the base unit. In the event of glass-breakage…all you need is to change the glass instead of the entire set! This has been possible by the latest innovations in glass-bending technology!
