D Plan:

The planning was done over French fries and burgers as to the destination and the means of travel on board Snow White, the WagonR. A few days back I had been caught unaware in a slight stormy and unrelenting rain shower while returning from office on the Chennai Bypass and had my jitters for a trip on bike when the dark clouds were looming large as per weather forecasts and so suggested Snow White rather than Scarlet (CBR250R) for the trip. But while the planning extended over Gtalk (a lil’ old school for geeks?!), I had a change of heart as I saw bike trip adventures (Youtube links courtesy Shanky!) with ‘Riders on the Storm’ and ‘Hotel California’ as background scores. It was decided – the trip will be in bikes, come hail or storm. The destination was pinned as Kolli Hills after considering Kodaikanal, Ooty and a drive down the East Coast Road, mainly driven by the fact that I had never been there and Shanky had had a ‘thrilling’ experience from his trip before and wanted to relive it.

The 2009 batch of SBT POs we called ourselves ‘proudly’ and it was completion of one successful year for us that night. But I didn’t know whether I should celebrate or not.
