If your cabin bag gets gate-checked, remove the batteries and keep them with you. 3. Protect battery terminals The FAA also recommends protecting terminals from short circuit by using original packaging, tape, battery cases, or protective pouches.

Karnataka Tourism: Powered by Bangalore’s North Indian IT Crowd, Not Tourists from the North

Instead, it is the North Indian crowd already living in Bangalore—thanks to the IT sector—that drives most of the state’s travel economy. The IT Connection Bangalore is India’s IT capital. With that title comes a massive influx of professionals from across the country, especially from North India. Thousands of them relocate here for jobs in software companies, consulting firms, and startups. What happens when these professionals settle in? They earn higher disposable incomes compared to many other cities. They look for weekend getaways and short holidays to escape the urban chaos. ...
