You know the feeling? When...

Its the last day of the work week, and you've been getting late for work almost every other day that week, getting stuck in bad traffic just because you did not start early enough. On this day, you manage you get up early, only to fall asleep again, and eventually end up getting delayed. You again start late, cursing under your breath about all the bad traffic you'd again have to face today, grimacing at the thought of not having anyone else to blame, but finding it hard not to shout out the choicest of expletives at random people on the road!

But...

Pristine Kemmangundi

High on nature, low on fuel

This is a trip made in December 2009. I know its late. I've been trying to get back to updating my blog on a regular basis from last 3 weeks or so. To say that the last few weeks have been crazy hectic would be some sort of an understatement! Anyway, not digressing further...

December is the time the people in the IT industry herd like cattle and embark upon the great migration across the country-side. ( Okay, so that was me desperately trying to make up for the understatement earlier! Its just to show you the degree of "underness" in the earlier statement! :D ). In simple words, I had a 2 week vacation time pending, so I took it! Finding a time when a subset of my friends would be free led to me finding 3 others along with me being free to go somewhere on Dec 19 and Dec 20. By that time then, I had made up my mind to drag everyone to Kemmangundi. And for good reason - the weather at that time of the year is sublime! Perfect postcard landscapes, blue skies dotted with fluffy little white clouds - ah, just divine!
