Why blog?

Some reasons why I started blogging:
1. Because every one does,
2. It seems to be interesting,
3. It is interesting to read other people's blogs; want to know if people will find what I write interesting or not,
4. Got myself a new mobile phone through which I can type and send mails, and blogger gives a way to post blogs through mails,
5. Time pass,
6. An outlet for my feelings.
I am not sure if these are in the right order. Will know soon I guess.

Road trip on our Suzuki Ritz 2013 Vxi Petrol - Bangalore - Tiruchengode - Trichy (Vayalur - Tiruvanaikovil - Samayapuram - Srirangam - Rockfort) - Namakkal - Bangalore -  850 kms - 3 days/2 nights   After our road trip to Chennai last month, I really wanted to go on another long drive, and was looking to drive all the way to Kanyakumari on the NH7. But, with the limited budget, we decided to restrict to Trichy which is around 380 kms. We started with an elaborate plan to cover a lot of places in and around Trichy with a 4-day halt at Trichy - mainly a temple tour with a few picnic spots here and there. However, the actual trip spanned only 3 days - we started on 6th October at 5AM and returned on 8th October by 4 PM - purely a temple tour. The Trip... Bangalore-Krishnagiri-Salem (200 kms - 3 hours) We started from Horamavu, Bangalore (north-east corner of Bangalore) on  Sunday, 6th October 2013 0500 , and drove through the inner ring road to reach Hosur Road.
