Bangalore, Nov 24 (UNI) Discovery Travel and Living, will telecast on November 26 a new six half hour series ''Indian Rendezvous'' depicting six metros of India, their unique gastronomy, art and music and adventure and travel opportunities.

Beginning with Bangalore, the show will be anchored by well known personalities, each representing a particular city. The presenters include Vasundara Das, Sushma Reddy, Ayaan Ali Khan, Nagesh Kukunoor, Konkona Sen Sharma and Meera Vasudevan.

Discovery Networks India Managing Director Deepak Shourie told newsmen yesterday that the show would travel to 155 countries across the world to provide an unparalleled journey into some of India's best and biggest cities. It captured a variety of themes offered by Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkota and Chennai.

''Rendezvous reflects the vibrant spirit and soul of modern India'' he said adding that the half hour slot was too little to capture the entire essence of these cities and hoped that the series would have a sequel in the near future.

Sushma Reddy, who anchors the Mumbai episode, said she was thrilled to present her favourite city. Colourful, vibrant, energetic and friendly, Mumbai would always remain the gateway to India, she said.

The series will also capture some of the country's leading artists and personalities discussing and showcasing their talents, including a visit to the idyllic dance gurukul, Nrityagram of late Protima Bedi, Kathak Maestro Birju Maharaj, Tabla maestro Bikram Ghose from Kolkota and drummer Shivmoni.
