WHY MALAYSIA IS EVERYONE’S DREAM DESTINATION

One who has much too passion for travelling in his heart will know well what wonder of a place Malaysia is. It rests in the Southeast Asia and has probably made an appearance in every traveller’s dream catalogue. It comes hardly as a surprise that the tourism earns one of the highest revenues for the country. And why should that not be? A place as beautiful as Malaysia is well deserving of all the attention that it gets.

We have handpicked only a few of the many options available, and believe us, once you step your foot on the Malaysian land, you’d want to do much, much more. Away from the land of Kedah, an archipelago of 99 islands offer an amazing plethora of experiences. The Langkawi Island has it all: beautiful landscapes, cheaper shopping places than you could ever imagine, amazing infrastructure and all the goodness of nature.

Glimpses of the OYO InstaMeet in Bangalore

We conducted our second #OYOInstaMeet and our first in Bangalore in the first week of December. We chose Pottery Town as our hunting ground, a place inhabited by potters and artisans that exudes a unique charm and remains still unexplored by many. We took up this opportunity and gave young photographers a chance to capture perhaps the most fascinating images of their lives. Ankit Dhame who was at that time travelling to Bangalore decided to lead the group. Presenting some interesting perspectives about the event, straight from the horses’ mouth.   Fellow Instagrammers at Pottery Town,Bangalore.

Image by Ankit Shravan had this to say about the meet: “Yeah it was a slightly hung over Sunday morning and I was wondering if I would make it in time. I knew I remembered just a thing that there is a shoot in pottery town. So I put the location on my phone GPS and went to the pottery town and saw that it was just a small area probably a couple of streets and one main road that connected to the other part of town.

An OYO member narrates his experience during the Chennai floods

It all started on the night of  3rd December when we started an intra-company SOS group to get information about our Chennai employees amidst all the chaos. We were shocked to find that twenty-three out of our total city team of sixty-three had not been contactable for more than 48 hours. Two of them had been reportedly rescued on boats and at least one person was without food and water. This shook us to the core and sparked a series of efforts planned and spearheaded by our Bangalore team. By 4th Dec morning we laid down a plan to send a truck of supplies full of voluntary contributions from OYO employees. Soon the news spread that OYO was sending in supplies and we saw people from IIM Bangalore, eBay, Bosch, Redcastle etc dropping in supplies and cash at our office. We decided to convert the office basement into a makeshift storage for supplies. Within four hours we had more items than what a single truck could handle, so we ordered one more truck. Finally, four of our employees along with four more of their friends left for Chennai with two trucks full of supplies – water, food, medicines, etc. The journey from Bangalore to […]
