road to oblivion


it had been a while since i had ventured out of my roost, so we went on a long drive off the coast to hit the hilly country of the land called the western ghats... its the part of the ancient hillrange covering the western region of south india....
as we tackled the hot humid climate of the coast to this haven of cool air on our faces, the calm of the hills disturbed by the horns of the vehicles... not many u can find though...
we followed the winding roads with the hair pin curves to the top of the hills... from lush green tropical vegetation through the mountainous land the difference of just metres....
we stopped in a calm to take a few whiff of purified sanity in this rush world... it was breathtaking....

when all this were over we took to our legs... jammed the gas and took offf on the dusty road
to yet another warm place in the heart....... best time to do this trip ll b anytime bw jan to june... afterwards beware of the thick mists which rules the tops...
