"A Rejuvenating Trip to Coorg"...
About the trip.....
Eight guys hired a tata sumo and we set off on a journey to Coorg. We started at 12:00 AM on a cold sunday morning. It felt really great to leave office... and do something different, a break from the routine. It was all planned in a jiffy...
The rest of the journey was just journeying, Sights, sounds, food, shopping. It was all about taking snaps, record our visit, the place. But there are things that the Kodak moments never capture - the fun, the laughter, the gay abandon and most importantly, the letting go of everything...
The drive back to bangalore was beautiful. Watching the sun set, with the buzz of the weekend traffic in the background was kind of a wierd mix...
Its moments like these where we forget our vexation with brats and begin to behave like one, ourselves (Infact there were may brats in our group). Its moments like these that make journeys, memories worth remembering, and cherish our friendships. Its moments like these when we forget our earthly lives, miles away and live in a world of our own; with heavens above and we sleeping on green dewy lawns...
Its been a week since my trip to Coorg. It feels like an eternity!! I wonder why...

The whole trip started off with a bang!!! All over you could hear only noise as people were as energetic as ever... We reached mysore by 3:00 AM. Coorg was about 3 hrs drive from there. The driver ripped properly as ever... Trust me... The ride was absolutely bumpy as the Bangalore - Mysore highway was "still" under construction. The bureaucracy and corruption in INDIA is terrible. All the politicians make truck loads of money and stash it in Swiss Banks. We finally managed to reach coorg early in the morning by 6:00 AM. We didn't miss the beautiful sunrise. It was great...
Coorg is often referred to as the "Scotland of India", the land fragranced by the strong whiff of coffee, the aroma of fresh cardamom... People were back to form after the terrific journey. We freshned up and set to Abey falls. This was absolutely amazing.. We spent most of our time here literally having a binge...
