escape from the concrete jungle of hyderabad experience chills in the midst of burning summer, on NH 7.
have eetha kallu and ride on the back of a snake in the ghats of raichoti and tirumala.
forget yourself in the nature's cool breeze looking at stars hanging to the branches of a tamarind tree.
loose your way and go to an unknown village and be interrogated by the people.
have rice with groundnut chutney and chilli tomato pickle.
sleep while looking at the stars and listening to stories of stars and people who become stars.
morning walk in the mango farms and through the village and brush teeth with neem.
meet some people and take scoldings and blessings and give a damn to it and start back to hyderabad.
on the way back get an idea to divert and go to chennai.
on the way to chennai see a board pointing to a waterfall at tada.
go 14 km inside and 1km on foot to find a remote place called ubbalamadugu.
have the best time with yourself after riding for long in the hot sun - lying down in a stream of water and seeing the sun setting behind the hills.
stream so pure that you can drink it for sure.
with a gentle current of the water experience the nature seesawing you floating on the water in between two rocks like a dead body letting yourself free and loose.
water so clear you can swallow gallons with no fear and you can see fishes going all around you and biting you (its more like ticklish than like a piranha!) they are so friendly and they look like dotted gouramies.
then go to chennai by 21.00 to meet karunakaran at ambattur after three years and then call karthik at 23.30 and shock him and bug him by staying at his place at t nagar for the night. meet satish at the other end of chennai at perungudi at 13.00 and get an idea to meet uma in gudiyattam, vellore.
just standing at the end of chennai towards west, about to enter perambadur. damn too hot and humid. thinking of the distance bike would have to cover, return back to the by pass of chennai on the other end towards east and start towards hyderabad.
reach ongole at 22.00, take a room for the night, have a beer and nice andhra meals, take a bath and sleep.
start at 5 the next morning and start to hyderabad through addanki.
take small breaks and have coconut water and go on till 11.30 on tuesday to reach hydearbad.
sneak into the room and get ready and go to office at 1.30. get out at 5.30 - half a day and meet college friends after six years and booze and have grilled chicken and sleep peacefully.
approximately 1700 km of fun and joy on my pulsar.
the experience of going this distance and seeing all these places across two states in four nights and three days has been priceless. when i went out and caught the highways on the road in the middle of no where, i was looking at myself from google earth's point of view. slowly moving like a small dot or a star in space, which we don't even notice moving but covers a distance. meeting so many different kinds of people along your way tasting as many different types of food, going through different climatic conditions, seeing in it the best and the worst and meeting the people i know, my friends and relatives and so many strangers, exploring places has given me a chance to see what's there outside the concrete jungle and has taught me something - i felt that i have done and seen so many things in a short span of time and was thinking i could have done more. then i realize the pottential of a human. what all can anybody do. on the other side i just keep wondering how time just slips by hours and hours together where we just kill time or laze ourselves so much. for people who haven't gone around much i would like to beg them to go see the world and explore with your own eyes. enough of popping your eyes at the monitor seeing forwarded e mails. get out ! do something. human body is the most powerful.
