This weekend, if you don't already have your plans scheduled and red-lined, head to the Alliance Francaise de Bangalore, for a weekend full of fun and diverse activities

Alliance Francaise keeps proving to us that they'll 'always and forever' be one of the best recreational destinations in the city, till someone takes up the challenge to outdo them that is not like we're looking forward to that day!

We're actually quite at peace with our obsession with them, hurrying to the campuses green environs every time we want to catch some really good performance and that they ensure, by giving us the best of what Bangalore has to offer.

This weekend is no different with a set of four events lined up for the weekend. From art, to discussions to performances like none other this weekend at the Alliance Francaise sure seems worth making a note of.

A discussion that deserves it due

Women in India are everywhere and we mean that like we've never meant it before. Organising themselves like never before, making it big, leading companies and movements and yet always playing roles that they've always loved playing.

It's no wonder India is always referred to as a woman because deep down, our country is run by our women and it's about time we realised that! Catch author Dominique Hoeltgen as she discusses her latest book Inde, la revolution par les femmes (India, the revolution by its women).

As a journalist, Dominique Hoeltgen travelled across India for four years, investigating the economy and the society of the sub-continent, and meeting Indians who are changing the country. Based in Mumbai, she has been a correspondent for 'L'Expansion' in India, since 2004.

Her book narrates the tale of the Indian woman who is increasingly making her presence felt more widely, be it through cinema, politics, business, or social movements. The book is a fabulous read and what better way to discover the book than through the eyes of its author.
