On A Mission To Replace Your Plastic Water Bottles!

It’s a given that you should be drinking lots of water a day.

Especially given air-conditioned offices, it becomes even more important to remember to drink – and have a bottle handy that’s easy to refill and keep sipping from. And from what we’ve seen, everyone uses plastic bottles! We don’t like those at all.

Why? Read this. Or take a look at this. Clearly, even recycling is NOT a solution. It has to be stopped at the source of the demand – consumption!

So we decided to do something about it. You’ve already seen we’ve been using these at our properties. They’re pretty popular too – many a guest has asked if they could take one home 🙂

We have now decided we’ll do the same for howmanyever offices we can do it for across Bangalore. Yes, we’ll find great looking bottles, clean them thoroughly, make them look smart (see the sticker choices below) and send them over – complimentary!

All you need to do is to FILL the form below, and we’ll do the rest. The bottles will be delivered to your office within a few days, complimentary! Do send us a pic or two with the bottles at your desks, of course 🙂

 

The Kind of Payment That Lifts Your Spirits

We were having a pretty crappy day at work – catching up with account sheets and realizing how bad the rising costs over the last 6+ months have hit margins. It’s not a great feeling to need to consider raising prices again, and wonder if the already slow market will slow down more.

And while you’re doing suchlike, a surprise gift like the one arrives, totally lifting your spirits and reminding you why you’re really doing this in the first place, and the numbers will work out, eventually, so don’t worry 🙂

The earth laughs in flowers

Poornima, a guest who had been to Linger at Bavikodla, Gokarna and sketched it while there shared this with us. We’re delighted, amazed, and very touched. This is the other kind of rewards doing Linger has – and keeps us determined to keep going.

“‘The earth laughs in flowers‘ and so shall you…the mystical flower power, so petite fragile yet so vibrant and colourful! Doodle trip — with Anita in Gokarn, Karnataka. made this picture during my stay at Bavikodla with my sister. It was wonderful thank you.”

Poornima – thank you! For making our day, and making it easier for us to ride over the bumps and still enjoy the journey. See you Lingering soon again….

Differently Done Birthday : Camping Trip!

CampLinger in the Devarayanadurga Hills recently played host to a very different group – a bunch of pre-teens out on a camping weekend to celebrate the birthday of one of the guys! (Of course, accompanied by the parents of the birthday boy.)

We thought it was a great way to get kids to spend time with their friends on their birthday. Instead of the usual pizza/movie routine, the outdoors, sleeping under the stars, a hike and a campfire will create memories for a long long time, and are much more fun!

So if you’re thinking of doing something for someone’s birthday and want to plan a very different one, give us a call. We’ll try setting things up more birthday-like from our end as well, next time. Its a mere 90kms from Bangalore, and makes for a great “sleepover” party as well 🙂

Gift a Linger Vacation

A quiet, relaxed time away from the city, cellphones, over coffee, conversations and in places as pretty as God made them (we try to keep them as much like that as possible) is one of the best gifts you can give someone.

We did this recently for a couple of our friends – and they
