Planning doesnt work very well (I work in Business Strategy & Planning for a large Corporate 
)
)I received a 'Maternal permit #' at 1:30pm on Sat and was on the road by 2pm along with my riding buddy Dhamu. We headed West without a concrete plan or preparation. With petrol in the tank and some cash, clothing and a South India map as the luggage.
Reached Trichi on sat night, headed to Munnar on Sunday riding through some stunning scenic views. Rode around Munnar and unfortunately lost a sunset to dense fog. Decided to catch my next sunset on Monday sipping tea by the Arabian sea and headed to Kumarakom. After hills and backwaters, decided to spot some wildlife at Thekady on tuesday. The trip would be incomplete without visiting some relatives and friends at Madurai, so visited them all and headed home for a nice sleep on wednesday.
All in all, 1600kms of pure biking fun over 4.5 days...now looking at a serpentine inbox with umpteen deadlines (that ended yesterday).
Next: Wait for a full-blown travelogue coming to a screen in front of you to soothe your next monday morning blues. If not, you know that I m on the road yet again.... : )
leaving you some pics for the meantime.
