India - Philippines

 Joint issues of Stamps between two countries are rare. And this one, a joint issue of India with Philippines was unexpected. This 2009 issue shows both the Indian and Philipino Dolphines.

Table of tales

Tried out the newly opened "Table of Tales" at Hennur. The place is close to my home and is part of Table 365 F&B complex. The overall ambience was interesting with too many things happening.. Lot of interesting art works but didn't gel to give a soothing feel. The food was ok but expensive.
