Recommendation for Kalamkari Workshop
Hello folks! My husband and I are travelling to Tirupati this month and are hoping to spend a peaceful week exploring local temples and nearby places.
I recently came across Venkatagiri textiles and Kalamkari, and would love to experience these art forms beyond just visiting shops perhaps through workshops, artisan studios, demonstrations, or experiential tours.
Are there any such experiences around Tirupati, Venkatagiri, or nearby areas that you’d recommend? Also happy to explore other local arts, crafts, traditional food, or cultural experiences that are worth seeking out.
Would love recommendations from anyone who has done something similar! 😊

ರೂಮಿಯ ಮಗಳು
ಈ ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ನಾನು ಅಂಕಿತ ಬುಕ್ ಸ್ಟೋರ್ ಮುಚ್ಚುವ ವೇಳೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ಗಡಿಬಿಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈಗೆತ್ತಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು. ಕೊಂಡಿಟ್ಟು ಓದದೆ, ಅಲಂಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಕಪಾಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂತು ವಾರಕ್ಕೊ, ತಿಂಗಳಿಗೊಮ್ಮೆ ಧೂಳು ಓಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಬದಲು, ಸದ್ಯ ನನ್ನ ಜೊತೆ ವಂದೇ ಭಾರತ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಸಿತು.
ಓದುತ್ತಾ ಹೋದಂತೆ ಅನಿಸಿದ್ದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಅಚ್ಚುಕಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ಕಥೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ! ಸಣ್ಣ ಸಣ್ಣ ತುಣುಕುಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳ ಸಮಾನಾಂತರ ಕಥಾರೇಖೆಗಳು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಅಧ್ಯಾಯದಲ್ಲೂ ಬರುತ್ತವೆ. ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಸೀರೀಸ್ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅನುಭವ.
ಎಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಬೋರ್ ಅನ್ನಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಇವರ ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ಇದೇ ಮೊದಲ ಬಾರಿಗೆ ಓದುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಇವರು ಅಂಡರೇಟೆಡ್ ರೈಟರ್ ಅನಿಸಿತು. ನೀವೂ ಯಾರಾದರೂ ಓದಿದ್ದರೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ.
ರೂಮಿಯ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಜೀವನದ ಒಂದು ಸಹಜ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಅಪೂರ್ಣ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯ ಮೇಲಿನ ಲೇಖಕಿಯ ಅಸಮಾಧಾನ ಹಾಗೂ ಕುತೂಹಲದ ಫಲವೇ ಈ ಕಾದಂಬರಿ. ಇಂಥ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಬರೆಯಲು ಅವರು ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ರಿಸರ್ಚ್ ಮಾಡಿರಬೇಕು ಅನ್ನೋದು ನನಗೆ ತುಂಬ ಇಷ್ಟವಾದ ಅಂಶ. ಆ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯ ಓದು ಮತ್ತು ಅಧ್ಯಯನವೇ ಈ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಗೆ ವಿಶೇಷ ಆಳವನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದೆ.
8/10 — ಎಂಡಿಂಗ್ ಮಾತ್ರ ನನಗೆ ಅಷ್ಟಾಗಿ ಲ್ಯಾಂಡ್ ಆಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಉಳಿದ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಓದುವ ಅನುಭವವನ್ನು ತುಂಬಾ ಎಂಜಾಯ್ ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಅದರಲ್ಲೂ ಕಥೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಹುಟ್ಟಿತು, ಅದನ್ನು ಬರೆಯುವ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಆಲೋಚನೆ ಏನು ಅನ್ನೋದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಲೇಖಕಿಯ ಮುನ್ನುಡಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಕೊನೆಯ ಟಿಪ್ಪಣಿ ತುಂಬ ಇಷ್ಟವಾಯಿತು.
ನನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಉಳಿದ ಸಾಲು:
ಗಂಡುಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಣ್ಣುಗಳ**** ಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಬರೆಯದೆ** ಉಳಿದಾಗ****, ಹೆಣ್ಣುಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಕತ**ೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಬರೆಯಲೇಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ
Coffee, Conversation and Creative Women
Hey!
I’m currently at a café in AECS Layout, Kundalahalli and have some time to spare.
28F Married and in a happy relationship, so not interested in any random date type bakwas catchup please don’t DM for that 😊
I’m just looking for genuine conversations, meeting interesting people, and socializing.
I’d especially love to connect with:
- Female entrepreneurs
- Women building something exciting
Anyone working on a cool side hustle, creative project, or startup
- I’d love to hear what you’re working on, what inspires you, and exchange ideas.
Or maybe you’re just looking for a sister to talk to. If something’s been weighing on your mind and you simply need someone to listen without judgment, you’re welcome to come by and share your story.
I’ll only be here for a little while. If you’d like to join, send me a quick intro about yourself, and I’ll share the location.

Looking for Shopping Partner
Hi. Going to do some shopping today from either forum Whitefield or phoenix market city. Anyone wants to accompany and grab a coffee later ? Just looking for someone with whom I can do girlie stuff and make friends, so only interested women HMU. We can also go to my favourite restaurant later if time is there.
