Rishikesh Diary Part 1

2006-06-08T23:42:00.000-07:00

Our Trip to Rishikesh was nothing more than an afterthought !! Nishant and myself planned the trip ... and Ramen said yes to it. Naveen agreed too. We had others as well who decided to come in .. Abishek, Amit Gupta.

Rajesh and Duhan refused staright away ... may be they were to afraid of the water !!

2 days to go ... taxi booked .. camp booked .. for 6 ppl !! Now comes the intersting part ... Amit, Raman, Nishant and Abishek all back out ... and whos left is just me and Naveen !!

Now what ?? Starting from six .. down to two ... hell no!! One day to go .. and now start the slog overs!

We decide upon a plan B .. in case we dont find more ppl .. we will go by our own convience.. just the two of us.

Thankfully those who refused .. Rajesh and Duhan ... finally agreed and Duhan brought a Joker call Thakur along.

So we regroup now to five .. not bad !!! But Innova for five software engineers .. was definitely a luxury !!

So here we go ... leave Delhi @6 ... reach haridwar @10. Now starts the bad part ... as soon as we enter Haridwar .. we realise .. today's Budh Purnima ... and 1000s of shradhaalu visit the Har ki Podi on that day ... no doubt the by-pass was jamed and we had no where to go for the next three hours.

We at times got out of the innova trying to make way for it !! Finally we reach Rishikesh ... @ 2 in the afternoon ... late by some 3 hrs and 30 mins !!

But all the frustration of the the tiresome journey went for a six ... when we reached our camp at Beasi !!

Camp sweet Camp

Hills all around

Pumping in some air !

Ready to Go!!!

Paap dholo bhaiyon!!

Scary looks ??

Here we Go!!

Cliff Jumping!!

The beautiful Sunset !!

Kozhikode Diary ... Final Part

2006-04-27T22:22:00.000-07:00

We end our stay at Kozhikode with a visit to the beach .. a not so decent beach .. like a chaupati without the tapris! Not much to add .. except that the weather was very hot and compared to cool and beautiful kappad beach this one was pretty mediocre.

Some Pics...

Thodi Masti... Thodi Yaari ... Thoda Jaam

2006-04-27T21:19:00.000-07:00

Occassion : Sant. Maggo and Duhan's Birthday .. which happened to be 2 months back .. but its never too late for a party.

Jahan Chaar Yaar Mil Jayein ..

Lage raho ...

Thou shall not drink

Thou shall eat only grass

Kozhikode Diary ... Part 3

2006-04-27T02:16:00.000-07:00

25th April.. we decide to visut the Calicut city.. out of the exhaustive list of around 15 tourist destinations.. we shortlisted Kappad and Calicut beach.

Kappad Beach ...
This is the place where Vasco-da Gama set foot in India on 27th May 1498. This landing has commemorated by a small stone monument at the beach.

Miles to go ...

We are in some good company

Run .. Tsunami is here !!

Reminds me of Baywatch!

Election fever ..

On the rocks

Thanks to the seniors .. they already warned that the campus is good 2 kms uphill.

The IIMK gate ..

Our journey uphill ..

The Final Destination..after 6 months of slog.. not bad !!

The place that thou shall bunk.

The place that thou shall be during the bunk.

That is why they call it cozy code.

The hostels.

the 3X6 space where i m gonna spend the next two years of my life.

Yes we have a balcony too !!

The view from the baclony.. what lies beneath

The computer center.

Amphitheatre.

Just beautiful.

Jokers at Imax.

Kozhikode Diary ... Part 1

2006-04-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

It is official.. I am the first one from PGP10 to visit the IIMK campus. Me and My Dad land at the Calicut airport .. surprisingly without any delays on the 23rd day of month of April.
Take a Cab and head straight to the Sana Towers near Medical College. Within 2 hrs of reaching kozhikode .. we understand the importance of nouns... after all nouns are the only thing common in Hindi and Malayalam.

Intersting place .. I would say , more of a Chaupal than a Hotel.. but very well mantained.
6 kms from IIM.. an internet Cafe, Doctor and a Rly reservation counter within the premises. What else do u want?

yes of course "food" is the only major issue ... but Mavoor Road is just 6 kms away. You find some good restaurants there .. Sagar, Dakshin, etc. Though will take some time to adjust to the porota and the chapati .. mallu ishtyle !!

24th April we hire an indica... and leave for the God's own IIM in God's own Land.

The journey is more than relaxing as you go through the beautiful surroundings ... on a calm highway .. and r4each the doorsteps of IIMK

To be continued....
