Absconding Paranoid

Two sleepless nights... Triggered a fight disturbing the third!! But then, Weekends... are not for sleeping! but for enjoying!! And weekdays... are for working... for a living... not for dying! To have a good night sleep.. but not a nightout! To have a filling meal... not a moaning belly! Is it balancing? Or more confusing? Why am I writing? Not in Telugu, but in English... Is it out of anguish? Is it lack of concentration? Or the need of relaxation? Anyhow... I'm glad... it requires no preperation.. but just the jiffy of desperation! How I wish I had a pen... in my hand... and a paper... beside my bed.. To let the rhythm...keep flowing.. like the ink... the bloody ink... oh yes... the blood would not sink!! but it would just stink! It would not stop... from the mere clots.. Oh yeah... lemme rephrase that... The clots could no longer stop it.. It keeps flowing... To drain the pain? Or to count the gain? Aah yes... that really was my inte...

na aage koyi... na peeche koyi... meri kadamon se bhari... ye raah hai meri!! baadal ke uunchayi mein baarish se bheegi hui hawa ki shor se bhari... ye raah hai meri!! na subah..na shaam... din bhar ek hi mausam nashe se bhari.... ye raah hai meri!! har disha... ek hi rang khusi laut aaye mere sang naye raag se bhari... ye daasthaan hai meri!! har kadam... yahi ghumna hai.. har pal... yahi rehna hai.. kyunki... yehi manzil hai meri!!

A gang of ten batch-mates meeting after a few years, a place filled with just too many scenic beauties, and three cameras to capture the memories.... in short....   a delightful and one of the most memorable trips for a travel enthusiast like me. It all started when a friend proposed the idea of a trip to Chikmagalur . Initially 16 guys were thought to be attending but finally the number stopped at 10. Rajeev booked train tickets for Sagar, me and himself for onward journey from Hyderabad to Bengaluru and bus tickets for return journey. An unexpected rain forced Rajeev and me to board the MMTS train from Begampet to Kacheguda and Sagar joined us there. The train journey was smooth and we arrived some 1:30 hrs late at Bengaluru. Poor Ganga waited for us in the station for more than 2 hrs. We boarded the Tempo van (Thanks to Ganga for all the preparations) and reached Jaggu's place. There 11 of us met and had a few photo se...
