It's been so long that I last went out on a ride. Then, there these set of really enthusiastic guys who infected me with the travel bug. Get Off Your Ass!! was the war cry for us and we simply carried our back-packs and hi the road straight .. late night driving, after a really long week was proving to be physically taxing on us and we decided to call it the day at Arasikere, starting Saturday morning we visited Halebidu, Belur on our way and they took a detour to Chikmanglur and then through Ghas we reached Horanadu, little did we knew that there is a majestic temple of Goddess Annapurna. The place was really peaceful, one may just go there and stay over the weekend. It was blissful to walk in the clouds and funny to wach clouds enter our rooms and pour water on our belongings. Trust me we were drenched to core, so much so, that even our spirits must have also satiated their thirsts. We slept like Dogs, no idea when did the dawn broke on us and after one quick shower we headed towards the temple. After seeking the blessings, we hit the road again and after loosing our way to he place we went through the ghats uphill to Kudremukh, KIOCL colony and then to Lakya Dam. It was just plain fun to drive in the rains and watch the sight of nature's beauty along coffee estates, many of which just could not captured, lest we must loose our camera to heavy rains.
On our return trip, we reached Hassan town and then took the road to Bangalore. Journey was quite eventful and we have a whole lot of fun stories to share.. I miss my old gang.. God knows .. kiski nazar lag gayi :|
Keep walking..

Training for long distance running
I was bitten by this bug during my school days. Just that, I lack discipline and often my initial enthusiasm causes more harm than necessary. Often my strong will to complete certain distance over powers my muscular strength :)
Basically, this marathon thingy is more than just adding miles to my legs, I must admit it is highly rejuvenating, some how I feel very good after half an hour of running. It even helps me fight emotional voids being created in me.
I pledge to complete my Sunfeast half marathon next year.
