Food for Thought

The recent trip to Kodai, Trichy, Karur, Guruvayoor and Palakkadu has left me none the wiser. But it's helped me realize somethings and here they are:

a) 6 people can NOT fit into a Santro, no matter how lean they are

b) Food in other parts of TN are very cheap when compared to Chennai. Not even once did our food bill cross 200 bucks for 6 ppl. AND my Bro and I were hogging like there was no tomorrow.

c) Waking up at 1.30 in the morn is definitely not fun. Even if it's for a trip to see Lord Krishna in one of his million avatars. Guruvayoor shows Lord Krishna himself sleeping...gggrrrr

d) CBSE books give a very bad depiction of the term "National Highway". A particular NH in Kerala (Name hidden for security purposes) leads to streets as wide as Ranganathan Street. And they call THAT a National Highway. Sheessshhhh. Another "Only in India" pic i guess

e) Do not underestimate the power of a Roll Camera. It CAN bring out good pics.


Food for who's thoughts?..Depends on who reads this.

@rakesh

Vendru, so u were sleeping throughout that Gurvayoor darshan...for i cannot fathom Krishna to have been sleeping from any angle, unless u confused it with Srirangam...guess too many temples is not good for ur psyche ;)

Sorry just realised I had more to say:
a) we 6 ppl did fit into the santro and made the entire trip - the point shud rather be "6 ppl cannot fit comfortably in a santro" :)

b) Guess it largely depends on the place u eat, if its not a fancy place the bill is not likely to be high - which is true for any place in india

c) u have read it

d) can't argue on this for u know best on CBSE books

e) thanks, understand this is for me :D

ur not so vetti, sis
