Kodaikanal and Sexy Trivia to impress Chicks
ahh....the 3rd Road trip...no you have not missed anything...the second road trip in Bhima was to Chennai...and for some reason, I just did not feel like taking photographs of the concrete jungle that is Chennai...a big sorry going out to all the 2 and a half people who read my blog in Chennai...one thing that did coming out the road trip in Bhima to Chennai was the fact that Dilip, Pradeep and I decided to take a trip down to Kodaikanal...ok since it is a hill station, perhaps I should say Up To Kodaikanal.
Kodai is quite special to many friends of mine. We used to take road trip to Kodai when we were in college years ago. It used to be amazing...520km and 2 bikes...the wind hitting you along with small insects committing suicide on my helmet visor...Moments I will cherish for 2 more years and then I promise to forget all about them and never say a word about the same.
Ok...so last weekend, Anand (who now works in Bangalore) and I sat in my Jeep and headed down to Kodai from Bangalore. The journey from Bangalore is about 500 km and takes about 10 hours even if you are able to maintain a good average speed. We took NH-7 heading south. NH-7 will be a really good road once it is complete...4 lanes...sexy would be the word...however it will be a word I think you will be able to apply to NH -7 only after 3 years when I feel the road will be complete. However boards by the side of the road state that the deadline for completion is December 2006…WOW…
We headed out of Bangalore at about 9:30 in the evening on Friday and reached Kodai Road Station at the same time when Dilip and Pradeep's train pulled into town. We picked them up and headed straight for the hills. Pradeep was suffering from Madras Eye (Conjunctivitis)...better known in Chennai as ChenEYE...or in the Hills as KodEYE (Kodai). Sorry did I mention, Anand was in full josh with his sick PJ's...if I am not mistaken the above PJ should be credited to him...
Anways we reached Kodai a few hours later and checked into a cottage there. The cottage was wonderful and about 4 km away from the center of the hill station...the photograph you see is the view from the cottage. Since we have been to Kodai so many times, we decided to just hang out and do stuff that we usually don't get to do when we are in Kodai...since that idea failed…we decided to take out the video camera and shoot a music video of the first song that came to mind.
So now the song that came to mind was Tanhayee from the film Dil Chahta Hai. Since the song in the film is picturized around Aamir Khan looking really sad...we decided to do the same. (YES WE ARE JOBLESS CREATURES) We did however turn a few heads in Kodai with us standing in the middle of road and posing as though we were highly paid models from big Urban centers...something that we are...(he he).
Oh...yes...in the middle of all this "FUN" we found a rather interesting puddle on the road leading back to our cottage. Now, as I mentioned earlier, since we were like so swamped with WORK, we drove through this puddle till it was as devoid of water as Chennai was in the early 90's or the Thar Desert is in the peak of summer. In the process we did get a few nice pics of Bhima (The Jeep) driving through and splashing water all over the place. Actually here is something I never knew till recently...and am sure that this information will be very useful to you when you are trying to act like you know more than a rocket scientist from NASA...
Here it is – “When cars drive through puddles, they splash water sideways...however when jeeps and 4X4's drive through puddles, they splash water sideways as well as forwards thus end up splashing water on the windscreen as well.”
I told you...sexy trivia to use with chicks...they dig stuff like this...trust me...I should know...considering me Relationship status is SINGLE.
