Gurgaon

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,

Renukaji - Himachal's hidden surprise!

Image
2-3 May 2009 Renukaji - Himachal Pradesh "We should plan at least 2 trips in the month of May. That's excluding the Delhi visits and the weekly ' Friday-night-chuski ' trips to India Gate!. We will plan somewhere in Uttaranchal or Himachal Pradesh. We need something like our last trip to Haridwar & Rishikesh that had everything we needed. It was wild, with lots of adventure and a bit holy! (Well... we can compromise on the last one, but the other factors are must!) Please guys, we need to plan it soon!" Shankar said. He was planning to move back to Chennai after completing 1 and a half years in Gurgaon. Initially he thought it would take at least 2 months to finalize. However the process completed pretty quickly and he was to report in Chennai on June 1st week. So that left us with only 1 month! Wasting no time, we started planning the trip. We wanted a place that’s close enough to drive, has some scope for adventure (preferably in water), good climate and mos...

Agra and the Taj

Image
A nother trip planned and executed in the last moment! Agra was never in my list for this year. But when Wilson and his brother Livi came to Delhi and after spending a couple of days in Harydwar & Rishikesh , Livi declared he to see the Taj. He kept on saying he has to see the Taj and take a photo standing in front of the epitome of Love! Neither myself nor Wilson were actually interested. Also we were tired after the 2 days in Haridwar. Moreover, I thought "Epitome of Love.." my foot! However these lil brothers can be very hard to convince and they have their own methods of convincing us! {I know because I'm also a younger brother to someone.. :-) } We could sleep only for just 5 hrs after coming back from Haridwar. The taxi came to pick us at 6:00 AM. Livi was excited and he sat in the front eagerly watching everything on the way while the other two of us slept peacefuly in the back seat! When we woke up it was around 9:30 AM and we were somewhere in Uttar Prades...

Chakrata - A wonderful destination - if the climate is good!

Image
W hoever said "Traveling doesn't need any planning...just pack your bags and go" is either rich or is lying! It needs some homework and a good planning before the start. Else this can happen to anyone... A trip that could have been completed with 700-750 km ended up in 930 km. Almost 14 hrs instead of a 10 hrs journey. Traffic jams everywhere, hot sun and a non functional AC. A driver whose main intention was to increase both the km drive and the time. And finally a thrill ride on GTK Road at 120-130 km/h with a drunken driver on the wheel. Thats our trip to Chakrata - A good destination but bad timing and planning. April 2, 3 , 4 (Good friday + Easter weekend) 3 days leave! Since I am not the regular church going christian boy, I decided to use these 3 days for another trip. My plans of attending Varun's wedding on Wednesday, 31st March in Hydrabad got cancelled in the last moment. On 25th march, I resigned and was on my notice period. So taking 2 or 3 days of...
