It was October of 2006. And I was left alone in Chennai… with most of my friends leaving the town for some better opportunities elsewhere. I was also bound to leave for Mumbai in December. I had a trip to Kerala in my mind for a long time, but somehow it was getting delayed every time and I wanted to do it before leaving Chennai. This was on 24th Oct ‘06 when I was sitting in my office and it was a holiday on 25th Oct, Wednesday. It was this time when I decided instantly of doing my so long awaited Kerala trip. I thought of taking leave of two days i.e. 26th, Thursday and 27th, Friday and clubbing it with weekend. So, I was effectively having 5 days to explore Kerala. And there I was, all set for solo ride to Kerala. After all, all you need to have is a good camera, willpower and your Beast (ThunderBird 2005 model). And with all the trust in my Beast I started next day. continue on Munnar Travelogue
