The Journey
17th Dec. 2010 was a wonderful rainy morning. Rekha and Karthik were
the first to board the cab. At Prashanth's place, Balaji, Joseph, Kiran, JP
and Simna joined them. The final halt was at my place: including myself,
Mohan, Sowmya, Bala, Rahul, Anand Balaji, Amit, Trafiro, Srinath and
Praveen boarded the cab.
We started off at around 8am and on the way halted for breakfast and
then continued our journey. The day was any nature-lover's paradise. The
entire strech was picturesque with green groves on either sides of the NH.
The groves were drenched by the rain waters - - an awe-inspiring sight. They
looked fresh and green. To make things even better, we had Rahul's
peppy numbers which were like honey to our ears.
We danced non-stop while teasing each other on the way. Our next halt
was at Ambur to buy biriyani and some spirits filled in bottles. After
around 30 kms from there, we pulled over near a grove to lunch. Anand
Balaji gave us a high headed cat walk performance and later tried to get
into the bus through the window. After that, our man was knocked out - -
all this after half a bottle of beer (moral of the story: paal kudira pasanga
ellam KF adicha good night ayiduvanga).
The next leg of the journey was quite pensive (at least for me) and so, a
little silent. Most of us were watching Vaaranam Aayiram and later
listened to songs.
After two more halts - - (1) evening tea with the an indescribable drizzle -
I enjoyed it a lot; (2) and then salem fuel station where I had alleged lost
Kiran and Joseph before getting into the cab - - we started our drive uphill.
