    So last night we went out for Puja's birthday. Who's Puja, you ask? Well that's me!And we ended up going to Baskin Robbins. You might be wondering what a bunch of vegans were doing there. Handing out leaflets about the cruelties of the dairy industry? Good guess, but no. We were having ice cream! Surprised? Don't be. At least in India, the Baskin Robbin's Orange Tango sorbet is vegan. So vegan that PETA India has given Baskin Robbins an award for it. Go on, enjoy yourself. And check out what else is accidentally vegan here.

    We just got an e-mail from our pal 2Blue, the super talented lead singer of Vayu, asking us what else he can do to help animals. Wow ...

    2Blue is really a star. In fact, we just gave Vayu an award for being the band most active for animals at college fests. Keep checking this site because petaDishoom and Vayu are going to work on a wallpaper together just for you. 2Blue pointed out that we need a new wallpaper for the rocker types. Check out our existing wallpapers though. They do rock, by the way. Hey, Ravi Iyer's solo album Rocking Ragas is now out, we hear. I'm sure that's definately worth checking out. Who's Ravi Iyer? Um, he is said to be the most technically accomplished rock guitarist in Mumbai today! Remember Witch Hammer? Well now you remember Ravi. And he is now with Vayu. Vayu fans know where to find them but if you are new and want to check them out (they are always playing somewhere in Mumbai or Pune or elsewhere too), visit http://vayu.co.in/ to learn where to find them.

  • A Formula One for...Auto-rickshaws?!?!

    One of the gals at petaDishoom loves autorickshaws so much that she and her friends decided to make a film about them. Yes...it is hard to believe, but she loves the experience of wind (and pollution) in her hair and the feeling of flying as she bumps along the Mumbai streets in those mean, three-wheeled machines. Perhaps you noticed her odd love for these vehicles. I mean, the big rickshaw on the front page of this site might be a giveaway. She says she uses the time she spends in an autorickshaw to think of new ways to help animals. Now that's time well spent. The film is actually not just about autorickshaws, but about an autorickshaw race. And it is not just any autorickshaw race, but the ultimate autorickshaw racing experience. A Formula One for autorickshaws. The film is actually a documentary and some of the filmmakers involved have also made other videos that will appear on this site. The Swami video is just one of them. Check out the Rickshaaa! film trailer at AFilmOnThreeWheels.com. It's fun, cool stuff.

    We just met the characters of the Star One show Remix, and they were so sweet! They are even cuter in real life, if that is possible!Tia (Sweta in real life) looks after stray dogs around their set. She makes sure all the dogs have food and adequate veterinary care. Yuvraj (Raj in real life) told us about how he hates for elephants to be treated badly and Anvesha says she does not like the way animals are abused for the circus. Ranveer (Karan) says he is also totally opposed to cruelty to animals. Keep checking this site for Remix updates.
