Was tracking the sun and wanted to be in a good spot when it goes down. I did not want to miss the lighting. Was taking pictures at every given point I felt the lighting was good and had a good subject to shoot. Reached back Valparai and chose to settle in Kuzhankal aaru (Pebble […]
Mudis area: Nallamudi punjolai. I had no idea what this place was. Had it on the list I had, so found my way to it. My guess was, it is a garden. The ride to Nallamudi Punjolai was the routine good one. Getting bored with these beautiful routes 😀 This place was guarded by forest […]

Avalanche lake to Top slip or Valparai (184km or 212 km): It was dark already, the road was good. Only problem, my headlight would point to the left than to the center. This was after the accident in 2011. Was not bad, still was not easy to concentrate as the light was towards the left. […]

This year's planned unplanned trip was almost a necessity. Was tied up for the first 6 months of this year. No way to get around and seen the worst of what it is to be tied down to a place, this years plan was drafted back in March this year. Wanted to get lost and […]

I am preparing for my second Planned - Unplanned trip. FYI: I am only planning for the 'Planned' part, not for the 'Unplanned' part for now. This is what happened on the first Planned Unplanned trip, http://www.haringo.com/2013/05/tiruchendur-kutralam-manjolai-trip.html The certainty of the trip is still 85% with 15% of odds against the trip.
