Instead of barking, "billions and billions of blistering blue barnacles," Captain Haddock is lilkely to holler, "karodon karod kasmasate kale kachhuve" -- millions and millions of squirming turtles.
Time Out tracks down an internet phenomenon.
3. A day in the life of... The Monkey King
The case of a simian climber drawing crowds at the ramparts of an ancient fort.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
The Monkey King is also quite the showman, pretending to slip, or twist his hand when climbing a sheer rock face, while the curious bunch of onlookers that he inevitably attracts gasp in utter horror. Each time that he lands back on firm ground after a climb, his audience crowds around him, clamouring for his autograph and requesting him to pose with them for photographs.

4. How do you review a fitness video?
Arati Rao shows you how.
5. And how do you write a review of a "military hotel"?
Learn from Jaideep V.G.
(That concluding paragraph is one to be savoured.)
6. A brief book review...
...by Joshua Muyiwa, who addressed the First Years at Commits a few months ago. (His last paragraph adds local flavour to the review.)
7. Even the film reviews are a treat to read.
Check out the LSD review by Nandini Ramnath. It's not on the website yet, sadly.
8. You may not walk into these dives for a drink...
...but you will be full of admiration for the Time Out reviewers who did and then came up with these intelligent and spot-on critiques. Go to the home page and under 'Search Bengaluru' type in the keywords Burton Wines, followed by Night Booze Bar. Better still, read the reviews in the magazine because on the web the review of Night Booze Bar is an older version.
