Coorg Trip

We started driving to coorg in the afternoon.was quite sunny..took a few stops…..by the time it was 5 or 6 in the evening…it had turned cloudy and inexplicably beautiful……..followed by showers….Reached coorg in the night………picked some food and booze and shambhuJDrove to this village…..couldnt find the hut as it was pitch dark………torches helped…..The sky was all lit with zillion stars and the breeze was awesome…we lit a campfire and cooked some chicken skewed in a jack handle…We played some music in the car..sat by the fire and ate and talked ..i didn’t do much of talking………I had friends talking about dimensions of thought..(wouuuu!!!…I know…that was my reaction exactly…) Once the music died off….all we could hear was the buzz of the mosquitoes and bugs and the breeze rustling through the leaves…I was lying with my back on the ground..and gazing at the sky….the moment was enough to get me and keep me high; ofcourse it's another matter that other sources of 'High' were welcome and were available in plenty.Its something so indescribable ,about the 'Nature' experience. - it was a sight to remember and sounds that my eardrums will quite never forgive me for. You just get that picture plastered onto your retina and the essence of that moment rings in your sinews and doesn't leave you for a few days. But I must mention that the music we had that evening was awesome and must thank “the president“for that extremely good music..though I hadn’t heard most of it…it was perfect.the place..the mood….and the music…cannot describe what I ( or anyone there , for that matter) felt like when our presidanto played dream theatre and jim morrison !! The evening started elegantly, and blew us away into unknown oblivion!! We all slept in the open, under the sky- oh!! perfecto!! Didn’t do much on the next day……..i woke up early..took a few pics..which you can check out at…Coorg folder at http://photos.yahoo.com/onlyiampreetiTook a shower..must mention about the shower place…there is no room…its just a patch in the green with jute bags and plastic sheets forming a tent kinda thing ..but the sunlight streams in and ur feet is on soft wet mud and cold water falling over u……..quite an experience……All day long just lounged around ….i tried my hand at sawing wood J and was quite good at it………presidanto was trying to meditate all day long with constant snoring……K lo and me were belting besan ladoos and chikkis..for that matter anything edible.A Lo was totally peaced out.Read some calvin&hobbes and laughed our hearts out………climbed the tree(well! It was quite a feat for me.)………had a campfire and slept early…The drive back was quite exciting with a flat tyre,nail biting(or should I say nail-cutting )experiences J
