May 6th...

Here goes another of my sagas... In search of perfection!!! My trips will continue but this is one from the past... To be right on the spot... "ONE MONTH BACK".
This is when we all assembled at Thrissur SNDP hall for yet another marriage function... This time it was Dileep's one of my JTO friends... The photo on the side has Achayan, Deepak, Deepu (ex JTO), Swami, Jhonson & Sandeep...





Thats Dileep & his wife Nikhila...






So yes after having a grand sadhya we had a day to spend at Thrissur and when somebody like Sandeep gives his car's key to u... u better find a place to go to... And well where other than Neliampathy... Everything was planned in under 5 minutes and those who could be accomodated into a Wagon-R... ie 5 of us set along!!!
After around 2.5 hrs of drive from Thrissur, 1st thru the dense NH-47 & later thru villages and then curves and "THIN" roads which had many ups and downs... The forest and its music was just amazing and we did have an almost perfect climate to go thru... It almost felt as if the destination was getting ready for ME...

By the time we reached up it was almost evening and v had some deadlines to meet... So without wasting time we rented a 4 wheel drive jeep to carry us to what is referred to as MAMPARA... A must visit place just becz of the route that u have to go thru wih the jep almost tilting to the side and stuffs.... If u can call it a road then u r a real optimist... And jeeps specialy modified for this purpose only can get u to the intended location....






The view we had from atop the hills was just great... And it was another grandstand finish... Earlier during 1998 we had been there to Neliampathy from college... But hadn't heard nor gone to Mampara...
