Its my birthday today and I have to post something here!

Hmmmmmmmmm.... how about the sad story of my system crash last month? Or how about a post on the recession effect in my organization? On the brighter side I can write something about the 'Onasadhya'; the traditional lunch of keralites on Onam! (Well.. I can write 2, because we had 2 separate sessions!)

Wait wait wait.. A post on Chandratal trip is still pending. so why not a preview on that today? OK.. here it is. Will upload the entire report in a couple of days. I promise!

And btw... I've changed the 'FLASH HEADER' also!






















Warm Regards,

Hi to all travel-bug bitten Brothers & Sisters! North East!!!! Are you nuts? Marr na hey khya?? Aur kahi nahi mila jane ko? Did you know....?? the ULFAs kidnap people and kill them!!!

Eventhough the region was common, each of us had our intentions about the trip! Prem wanted to meet the Rhinos in their own land! Gokul wanted to see his school where ...

Trek to Tada falls... (Operation Southern Spice started!)

Image
I t's been 3 (3 and a half to be exact) months I said my farewell to my friends in Delhi and the Himalayas. 3 months of no trekking, no rafting, no long/short trips or even sightseeing! Went home a couple of times as its just an over night's journey. Life was getting monotonous for me and to make things worse Varun and Radhika went to valley of flowers for 1 week and Ashutosh was happily planning team outings in Alcatel!!! Enough is enough. I have to plan something soon or I will go mad. I asked Kishore whether he is ready to come with me for some trekking somewhere around chennai. He said "Ok! " That was enough. We decided the place - TADA falls (95 km from chennai in Andra Pradesh) Once that was done, we sent a mail to everyone in my office asking if anyone is interested? The initial response was 10 which came down to 5 (but that was known already). 3 more joined us making the total strength as 8. So there we were 8 of us : Kishore Kaviarasan aka Kavi Ramesh...

Nagala Re-visit

Image
"Whom did you like the most in this group?" Biju asked.. "Come on yaar... don't be shy... which girl or lady did you like in this group?" We were having an intro-session at the 2nd pool in Nagala on a Sunday afternoon. Biju was the organizer who took the challenge of taking 82 members, most of them first-timers to CTC's most favourite trekking spot, the Nagala western entry. We had started from Koyambedu at 5:30 AM and after a short stop at Poondi reservoir, we reached Nagala at 8:30. Photo courtesy Karthik R After a quick breakfast of Sweet Bun, bananas and frooty, we started the trek at 9:00 AM. I got my first shock ten minutes later when my Nikon D80 declared 'she' was not working on that Sunday! Good bye to all the plans of practising 'people portraits' and the blog post! :-( I was left with just the Fuji finepix XP 10 . However 'she' was only 'cool' underwater. Above the water level, she was just average! Any ways, I d...
