Hidden Jewel Barot, Himachal Pradesh

Barot is located in Mandi Distt. in Himanchal Pardesh. It is an Anglers paradise. The Barot village is situated on the interaction of two rivers Uhl and Lumberdug, both filled with Himalayan trout fish. The Place is ideal for Angling, fishing, trekking, picnic, camping and other various outdoor activities.

You require a fishing permit, which can be purchased at 100 rs per day from the HP fisheries office situated at the start of the village. The same permit is applicable for angling on both the rivers. Make sure you have the right equipment to catch small trout fishes. A 4 lb, 6 lb, 8 lb line should be good and size 0 spinners. Make sure you have plenty of spinners as you tend to loose many.

There are a few decent places to stay, on average one room would cost you somewhere between 400-600Rs Per day, which is pretty affordable huh.

IF you are not able to catch anything do not worry the HP fisheries trout farm sells trout fish at around 150-180 Rs per Kg and you can take it to any of the local restaurant which would galdly cook them for you.

My Ride: Apne Liye, Apno ke Liye - Advertisment Review

Honda Launched the new MUV Mobilio, Along with the advertisement campaign with complete family singing a rap song, It's my ride, It's My ride. As You Can See In the Tv Advertisement Grand Fathers & Mother , Grand Son & Daughter , Mom & Dad all Enjoying and singing the song.

And I always though badvertising was for small and local business. It's got to be one of the worst advertising bliz seen in recent times. Pathetic advertisement campaign, right from Kapil Sharma to the family singing the rap it's my ride, it's my ride.

Honda claims that the Mobilio will appeal to both salaried and business buyers in the country in the age groups of 35-40 years. The seven seater is ideal for larger families. I am really not sure what or how are they reaching out to their target audience with this campaign , and it feels they are trying just too hard to get to hip hip new generation, along with joint families all in one bad package.

God what were they thinking. I really liked the Honda Brio campaign, but this one I just can't figure out

Can't say the same thing about the car, it's a good formidable package, good average, nice looks, plenty of space. It would provide a serious competition to the Maruti Ertiga. It's already bagged 10,000  plus  bookings so far.
