Sunrise in araku valley..catching the pale pastels of dawn as we trekked up the bamboo groves of the small hillock 

Borra caves 

Araku valley goes by as the kirandul passenger chugs along. 

Bright blue coorg sky. One can see the cumulus from the ground side. The silver oak increases the oxygen content in the air helping the coffee grow better. Cauvery is flowing by nearby as we cycle along. 

That is the view from my future home .. far away bangalore hills with NICE road cutting through it . Can Get to Electronics city in 15 minutes . M G Road 16 kms , Railway Station
17 kms http://www.vakilhousing.com/

I always wanted to sleep on a solid block of wood. I mean this bed rocks . There is so much space to keep the book I felt asleep reading . The faux wooden wall is also infra dig ! 

Lift the WALL , the GOA wall 

Elephant crossing in the madumalai forest sanctuary.. Remember reading but not able to distinguish between national parks versus forest reserves. The Giant pachyderm can squash my Zen ..so I better get going :) 

Visakhapatnam has more beautiful vistas ..the beach drive is more amazing than 17 mile drive in california 

kailashgiri in visakhapatnam. Lord Shiva is watchful on Visakhapatnam . Simpli-city that is VIZAG with beach sea hills and ZIG ZAG VIZAG roads 

Jog falls in monsoon RoRo Rocket Raja and Rani ...on the way to Goa...Shimoga was lovely in the rains...nice to see kids going to school while we were on the way to goa..It warmed the cockles of my heart that kids were going to school even without shoes in the remote fringes of shimoga...Way to Go kids 

Myself and Kansal dude in a masti mood at goa... 

Does Araku valley look like afghanistan..believe it or not this place has got lovely coffee plantations and beautiful hill top views .Andhra tourism has got some good hotels there. I loved the stay at the jungle igloo cottage. Some wild animal scratching kept me awake all night he he he 

Borra caves in Araku ..you can see the stalagtites and stalagmites and I am trying to leap into the other dimension..wake up now to the other side. 

Bangalore the global gateway...I went to places because after krec I joined the FORCES of bangalore...May the force be with you..I went to work with McAfee in dallas Tx ..and am back in bangalore ...more traffic but same beautiful weather...All around the year. May the FORCE be with you...yada yoda yada 

Galibore Cauvery: We went for a picnic there, jungle lodges ...wonderful experience. the sounds of the night ...nothing around...it was a bit warm after bangalore ...just hearing cauvery flow by and the wind humming.
