I know that it has been too long since I have last blogged :) but well that is how I blog ;)
Actually this time, we again had functions at home (read Wedding and its related customs) and with work pressures and all, it was difficult to keep blogging.
What made me blog now ? It was the long drive which I recently enjoyed in my home town. It has been some time now since I went on a long drive in a two wheeler (either scooter or bike) and when I recently went on a long drive, say about 25 kms, I remembered how much I enjoyed long drives. And that too if it was a very scenic one, who wouldnt. With the big Nilgiri mountains spreading on one side of the road and the farms and farm houses spread across the other side, with tamarind trees on both sides of the road, and cool air breezing through your hair locks.
There are a few trips which I made in my two wheeler in Bangalore which I really enjoyed that I remember every second of it. I might sound bit crazy , but it is very strange how even trivial things (and at time maddening for some) as a drive through a city in the traffic at times can be so pleasing for some aint?
Once we made a trip from Bannerghatta Road via the Outer ring road to Marathahalli and then from there to Ulsoor and then to Rajajinagar and back to Bannerghatta Road, and I was driving all along and it was I guess Friday or Sat evening (if I remember correctly). We started at around 4 pm and ended up home @ 11 pm. :). This was my first ever long drive and I almost went round the city and that is why may be I remember it so well.
Well it was helluva trip and it was me, who was driving and even though we had terrible traffic in a few places, I enjoyed the drive throughout, even though the next few days I had a slight pain in my hands ;)
I wish I could do more of such drives. I love this stretch of road that comes on the way to Mrudeshwara, where we have the sea on the left side and either a backwater or a river on the other side. What a pleasure would it be to drive on such roads. Hmm...
