Travelogue - Kudajadri: Day0

Now that the Ooty trip is scrapped, we
needed some other destination to uncover.
Thats when we became too religous.
What about a pilgrimage to Kudajadri.
Why not?!
There is some scope for trekking as well
(given it doesnt rain)
Just KK and me.
Kk booked tickets for the friday evening trip.
Did all the packing at home on Thursday evening.
Left for office on Friday with the big back-pack.
The bag contained useful stuff like shawl,
monkey cap, jacket, essential wear, and a few sets
of funky costumes.
KK picked me up from the office.
Headed for the bus boarding point - Madiwala.
India's performance with SA in crkt, not bearable,
we braved the rains in the open air, preferring it
to the shelter (with TV on).

There comes Jins to entertain us.
A few excerpts..
Jins: Ethra manikkaa bus ?
KK: 8.30
Jins: Thirichu ningal ennu varum ?

Jins: Edaa.. ippo povaathathethaayaalum nannayi

Jins: Ooty-Srilanka border closed aa..

Rat, KK : :-@

Jins left us in a short while, not wanting to be the
center of attraction there..
Bus came soon.
We got into it.
After a quick round of peaceful talk, KK slept..
Now that I have a real peaceful atmosphere, I too dozed off..
