Hobbyists Hub: A concept

In the last one week, I had been discussing with friends and family about an idea I had in mind. The hobbyists hub.

What initially started as an idea of a book library for a niche segment, morphed and mutated into something you see in the image. I was pretty excited because it stitched together many things I loved.. books, photography, travel, cycling, etc.

TFN day 4: Its not about cycling!

“Saar, no standing. Traffic police problem!”, warned the mini truck driver.

Camping in Nilgiris, a survey

Most of you might already know that Nilgiris is one place that I love a lot!

I have been thinking of setting up a place in Nilgiris for sometime now. Though a full fledged place is not economically viable for me, esp given the changes in my life post March, I was wondering if I could start something small, off-beat and catering to a niche like camping. Of course, being able to run the place without having to be there all the time would be important too.

The kind of crowd I would want to attract is a niche group, but slowly on the rise in India… travellers, campers, birders, cyclists, etc. Not the typical tourist who would want all the bells and whistles of a luxury accommodation.

While I am on the lookout for places that fit my budget, taking my own sweet time , I would also like to do some market study and research too.  Your inputs here could be immensely helpful!

Could you please spare a couple of minutes to fill the survey below?

For your convenience, I have already chosen few options and made them the default so that you don’t have to click if you agree. Of course, they also indicate my choices too .
