  1. Back home after a four day holiday from Bangalore to Mahabalipuram to Coimbatore to Bangalore covering over 1200 km by road. the only minus was spending almost three out of the four days on the road, I'm not complaining though as I love driving

  2. 1200 Kms by road! Thank God that at least the highways are enjoyable to drive unlike the cities. It has to be called a driving holiday with hardly any time to stay.
    Lots of work for Ramesh today.
