At home At Hullimakki.....

A sweet voice said "I am waiting to run away, are you coming" and thus began this trip. Rushed to office immediately, a good chit-chat for half an hour then headed to V.V.Puram Food street. Hungry stomach and eclectic dishes always gel well. Reached Hullimakki at around 5 AM. Half an hour nap and then for the first time in my life i had bed coffee and bed tea, and it was awesommmmm. Cold climate, speciallll coffee (as Genelia puts it!!) and badminton made my morning.

A 2 hour trek later with some great snaps. Was just too hungry when i spotted a Ginnu (Pudding cooked with colostrum) look-a-like, it was too yummy. Aunty's cooking was an epicurean's delight, lunch was just lip smacking with akki rotis, cocunut chatni, bamboo shoot pickle, dry chicken etc. Then we had a wonderful time at their private waterfall. Sitting below the fall of water was quite a relief from body aches and felt supreme. We had a magnificient time there. Reached back and had juice, pineapple juice was never so tasty. Then badminton time again followed by play time with Rangi(A calf) and then 2 cups of tea and a cup of coffee( I think that states how pleasing they were). Of course we had to let out some quality time for UNO, this time with lots of 'open' cheating tricks. Later betal leaf wine + campfire + pic time. Then we invented some new badminton concepts.
Me and Vinz-Lazy Badminton- Absolute no leg movement.
Me Vinz and Shubra- Trio Badminton-This didn't work out well.
Me,San,Vinz,Sameer,Kartha+refreees- The all-opponent badminton- Even your teammates can function as your opponent. This was just a flabbergast ride.

We kicked off next morning with taTTe idli and headed off to a trek. Sudks and gang went ahead for about 4 hills, while me and San had some quality time experimenting her new SLR (Ond sala nan pic, Ond sala aval pic) after 2 hills. Climbing down we found a pond, lots of big fishes there, they seemed to love puffed rice. Back home, me, sudks, Damodar and Kartha went ahead for bath at a small stream and returned for a great lunch again. Then had great fun with the puppies minchu and shiny, will miss them a lot. Everyone of us had a sad time saying good bye to aunt ant uncle. Thanks to them again for such a great weekend.
