Rant 34: Checking out Chikmagalur

So after weeks of mind-boggling work (minus one saturday @ the beach) I finally got a chance to unwind fully...that means absolutely NO work at all. Dont talk about work, dont think about work, dont come near me with work...
2 colleagues from the office plus a mutual friend of theirs and of course yours truly headed out on a one day getaway to chikmagalur (the name basically implies small = chik mangalore)

to start off...

an almost brand new Innova, courtesy Bobby (the mutual friend)...his life philosophy being Work hard, Relax harder...
the rest i say is in the pics...

We four...our one trip was a sight to behold
(R2L- Yashpal, Vinod, Bobby and Me)

Let the road trip begin I say

Night modes


What were you thinking???

Big Boss cold drink factory

Mullayyangiri....the tallest hill in karnataka at 1930 metres....and this is the scene there

Posing for cows.............and for a hilly stretch of road
and to top it off...

Chikmaglur city....the view from (almost) the top

  1. FACT CHECK PLEASE: Chikmagalur is NOT small Mangalore. Chik means small, magal means daughter and ooru means town/place. Chikmagalur was named when an ancient king gave away his youngest daughter in marriage to someone in that town (source: Vinod Lobo).
