Have fun with CATS when in Chandigarh

Have fun with CATS when in Chandigarh!

If you love outdoors and wish to have fun in and around Chandigarh, get in touch with CATS. Yes, it is a motley group of young and old who get together quite often to chalk out a plan to have fun and enjoy Nature with friends and family.  CATS stands for Chandigarh Adventure, Treks & Sports that was formed last year in August and when the idea was shared with Chandigarh Tourism, they heartily supported it. Led by Ms Supreet, an MBA from UK and worked with British army, and decided to return to India to set up interior designing and special stone ware business in Chandigarh, conceived the idea, and is the soul behind the activity.  You just need to go on to the blog http://chandigarhadventures.blogspot.com/ to find more about it and if you want to join in just send an email and you are on.  All trips are self-sustaining with each one sharing the cost of the activity.  If you are in Chandigarh on a business or leisure visit, and have time at your hand, just check out the blog and you might like to join the fun.  For instance, on coming Sunday, a cycle trip is planned to the Jayanti Devi temple on the outskirt of the city, and even the bikes can be hired at a nominal fee.  Just check out the blog and decide. Have fun!

PVR at Centra Mall

Hi all. It has been a long time since I wrote on the city. But all these months, your city had been growing left right and up. Those of you living abroad away from your home, would like to know that the Uppal's Centra Mall is open. Remember the Pasco Motors in Industrial Area? Right in front of the Modella, as you entered the Industrial Area Phase 1. It now features an all new Centra Mall and the four-screen PVR cinema had its opening yesterday.
Two months back we had the DT Cinema in the IT Park area, and at Zirakpur, you will soon have the Paras Down Town Square, which again shall have four screen ADLabs screens to satiate the entertainment-hungry populace.
