More things to do!

Volunteering

There are loads of places one can volunteer here if you're feeling a little in the giving mood. It's something I always want to do, but don't :(. There are tons of NGO's who work with disadvantaged kids, disabled people, the elderly, abused women, etc. A few of these include HippoCampus, FAME, Parikrama, and DreamADream, SAHAI. DreamADream is a really great foundation that works with underprivileged children. They team up with other foundations such as the Freedom foundation to create workshops to help train kids on social skills, and life skills, as well as organizing feel good events. They have something called a sunday funday where you can sign up to help out on any sunday event, as per your time constraints and interests, and spend time with the kids. For example sometimes its a Cricket match, or a trip to the bird park, or to the Planetarium. This is a great way to spend your Sunday and something that will brighten definitely a few kids faces.

Wonder La

Wonder La is a huge amusement park on Mysore Road, shortly after Kengeri. They have a water park and many slides, games etc as well as the usual thrilling rides! I would advise you not to go if you're going to be boring and avoid anything that seems too fast or too high up! There are lots of small places to eat and they do keep organizing events such as a Raindance, etc for different outings.

Movies

Bangalore has loads of movie theaters like any other big city, and its always good for a break to relax with a hot huge tub of popcorn! This includes PVR cinemas in Forum, Koramangala , Inox at Garuda mall near Brigade road, Fame cinemas (Lido Mall -Ulsoor) , Fun Cinemas ( Sigma mall - Cunningham road ) Innovative Multiplex ( Outer Ring Road ) , Inox (Swagath - Jayanagar) , Rex (Brigade Road) and Urvashi ( JC Road) . Many other smaller places abound in all the popular areas, particularly majestic.
