Bulleteer - Delivering excitement year on year..

Someone has aptly said this, "the bond between the passionate rider and the bike is which no science theory can explain"...perhaps keeping this only in mind Get Started's crew came up with a concept of "Adventure Everywhere" which is every biker's dream too.

Bulleteer Vol 1 (from Bangalore to Ooty to Bangalore) and Bulleteer vol 2 (from Bangalore to Coorg to Bangalore) were organized to celebrate the free spirit of all bikers....where riders gave voice to the music playing in their souls. Bulleteer has been conceived by "Get Started and Travelife", both well established names known for their expertise in organizing adventure travel "Delivering excitement year on year..." First aid, medical assistance, food and entertainment were all along. The mantra of this adventurous event was "NO OVERSPEEDING, NO RASH DRIVING PLUS NO DRINKING AND DRIVING"

Seeing is believing: here are few images of previous Bulleteer events

Darwin Now Exhibitions in India

Charles Darwin, naturalist par excellence, penned the modern theory of evolution. His birthday fell on 12 Feb 1809. The year 2009 marks not only his bicentenary but also the hundred and fiftieth year of the publication of his seminal book ‘Origin of Species’.

Darwin propounded that all different species of life, including humans, evolved slowly over billions of years, from common ancestors by way of natural selection. This implied that the best of the traits that helped the individuals survive in a habitat, were passed on to their offspring. As time passed, this set of advantageous qualities accumulated and led to the transformation of the individual into a species entirely different from its ancestors. For e.g. humans from apes, birds from reptiles and so on.

British Council has endeavored to put together a unique initiative, christened ‘Darwin Now’, which seeks to celebrate his legacy in the 21st century.



Darwin’s ideas have had a profound impact on contemporary biology and have improved understanding of our biosphere and humanity’s place in nature. This project takes up a wide array of global events and initiatives which are a corollary to his theories. British Council verbatim ‘Exploring the fundamental, influential and sometimes controversial nature of his legacy and its relevance in today’s world…’

This is a moving exhibition and was on display in Kolkata early on this year and Darwin Now Exhibition was in Bangalore from 27th Oct to 02nd Nov at the High Grounds. The exhibition is on from 9th- 30th Nov at the British Library, Pune and British Library, Chennai. Gujarat Council of Science City, Ahmedabad shall host it from 9th- 25th Dec.

Apart from being an intensely entertaining, informative and educational exhibition, ‘Darwin Now’ has several activities designed especially for children- of all ages. So do not miss this one of a kind experience for the world….
