The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru I, The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru II
The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru I
Having collected Tirumala Ladoos, I left Tirumala having taken cognisance of the fact that visits since July 1995 have been with the sole aim to get blessed by Lord Govinda, and drop in be at regular interval with no sighting of ride riddle. Lord Govinda goads one to believe that howsoever insurmountable may be the rush each devotee would get a chance to gain a fleeting glimpse with Delhi Chapter knowing fairly well who would be the coming Kings. Connecting bus from Tirupati for Bengaluru was all I desired having stayed in room 405 in SUPRABATH TOWERS for roughly 100 hours. Though hot for entire duration of stay, I had the fortune to look at Tirumala Hills elucidating what was essentially year to year thrill.
Leaving For Bengaluru On A Thursday
Left on a Thursday with disciplined automan Mr M Bhaskar dropping me at the gate from where Karnataka buses can be accessed with ease, having come around that this ride comes with no notable fees. All through the stay took meals from Orion Restaurant one of the best in town even for those who have gained over the months Delhi pound. From platforms 24 to 27 there were buses slated to leave for Trichy, Salem, Vellore, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Arunachalam, all high beaming spots of South India where people are busy to unfurl new central idea. My bus leaves at 9.13. There is an ad of Bhim app featuring sportsperson Mr Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ad as well of Dream Believe Achieve at MBU (Mohan Babu University) which hands over the clue. Go past RBL Bank, Madras Tiffin Centre having understood this city invariably hosts varied tender. Go past Birla OPUS paints store. Heritage milk and milk products making waves in Tirupati and beyond noted, and this in the coming months would be lauded. Go past PEPS the great sleep store. Go past Sri Mulasthana Yellamma Temple. Bus of Shiloka - A Birla School parked and few moments later there are broad roads that drop hints even when it is pitch dark.
We Are On National Highway 140
We are on National Highway 140, soon followed by Candor School Tirupati. At 9.56 we access Heritage Parlour followed by board of Astral pipes India's number one, and this looking to be no hype. There is traffic diversion at 10 followed by first toll plaza at 10.05 in a season when India can jive. Go past Pavithra Grand, Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple Nendragunta. First Sri Lakshmi milk tanker spotted here, hope to see more coming with their set of lore. Few moments later a lone woman spotted speaking on cell while driving scooty not to be seen in regions that are UT (Union Territory). Hotel Saravana Bhavan accessed at 10.16 followed by Hotel Saptagiri. With Niva river in proximity, and from here Kanipakam Temple is roughly 17 kms something to brood in this South Indian province that is huge.
The Ride From Tirumala To Bengaluru II
Quintessential happiness was what passengers desired as the Bengaluru bound bus moved on negotiating 250-odd kms giving to none jitters. Garuda Tours And Travels bus off and on used to overtakes us with passengers inside feeling blessed with no pounding they expected from sessions of crush. Quite notable at this moment was a woman in black attire driving bike with her associate pillion riding in a nation where price stress keeps on padding. Price rise and the incremental chase to douse the same has met with little success despite some storing at home roundabout tree buxus. Go past Irani Dude. Kanipakam Temple 0.5 kms from here for which one has to go left, and as one reached Bahuda river, this was followed by spotting of second and third milk tanker; getting the authentic supply nowadays most hanker. Go past Sri Mayuri Restaurant at 10.40. Soon after there is Chitra Coffee Bar, with thoughts on Kodanadu View Point (Tamil Nadu Province) where seldom people throw in the air coin.
Idols Of Lord Ganesh Lined In A Series For Upcoming Festival
Idols of Lord Ganesh lined in a series for upcoming festival, and this spotting visible even after 30 kms, and this is the latest. Go past Bharat Benz, Ashok Leylands plants with hoarding of Vidyavahini College and those who scored well, impromptu was the felicitation bell. Go past BMREV Industries. Go past Andhra Spice. Here toll plazas manned by a good number of women who after a long day in the Sun have lemon. Go past Sankrantipalli (Andhra Pradesh Province), go past Mother Dairy store, and this is for sure. At 10.55 Bengaluru 163 kms, and as we stop at Nandi Food Plaza there is TATA EV charging zone with calls to keep it going received as well from Rome. From here Bangarupalayam few kms away, and hope the trio in chess have awful contest and play. Fourth milk tanker spotted, and this reported to those residing in cottage. At 11.30 Kolar 83, Bengaluru 146 kms. Go past NKR TOWERS, and hope none get seduced by foreign powers.
Reach Palamaner; Special Mulbagal Dosa
Reach Palamaner at 11.37. Nearby there are a good number of Muslim institutions with good number of Muslims residing with no need for the next two decade to engage in paratrooping. At 12 go past Srinivasa Grand, and few kms away there is Special Mulbagal Dosa, and the art of preparing the same is fetched a month for over a million guest who least desire to travel to West. Reach Halekuppa (Karnataka Province) at 12.05, and as we are in Mulbagal Section there is new set of roads being laid by engineers who have at some point of time worked in a port. Here mopeds galore with contact man yet to come from Mangalore. With Mulbagal Dosa Corner spotted, and this secret is well guarded. Soon there is Usmani Taj Family Restaurant followed by Hanuman Granites with Bengaluru still 93 kms looking to be tight. At 12.32 go past Thirumala Filter Coffee, no need to eavesdrop on conversations in Assembly Lobby. Here thoughts on Repco bank in Tamil Nadu on which reportage is extensive by group Eenadu. Soon Woody's pure veg from Woodlands group accessed, and as we go past Nandini Palace we reach Kolar with some skipping coffee in terrace.
Lakes Sprout; Spotting TATA NANO Car; Thoughts On Nandini Milk
As one goes past Amrutha Veg here lakes sprout, and this is visible for miles ahead lending to some their better and bread. Lakes would have been bountiful had constructions not taken place with maddening pace. At 1.07 go past Sipani fibres plant. At 1.48 HDFC Bhattarahalli branch accessed, with some manning the afternoon desk. At 1.55 we are in K R Puram, and here oranges galore with no need to raise uproar. Here lone TATA Nano car spotted which were in good numbers in Kotagiri, Kodanadu View Point and Udhagamandalam with more likely to put in a script on business acronym LUM. Sweet products made from pure Nandini milk ad on bus, and this milk intake takes away the stress. Nandini milk has been creating waves at every corner and chase. At 2 reach Benniganahalli (Perhaps There Is Famous Benniganahalli Lake). Go past Gopalan Mall hoping against hope none get in a brawl. We reach Varthur road at 2.10. Few moments later go past Resurrection Church, Sri Balamuri Ganapathi Temple, hope no community is subjected to sessions of purge. Go past Ulsoor, Ulsoor lake. Reach Majestic in Bengaluru by 3.30 in a nation that would be flanked by different set of leaders at different point of time recouping losses at their prime. At 3.30 very much known about few set of leaders who abide by constitutional morality, and that would be no less than 24×7 duty.
This was a ride that would not have come at a more appropriate time than July the month when rains had not pitched their tent. This was a ride encompassing two provinces (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka) essaying the belief that flavour of either can be touched provided the roads are good, samaritan come in flood. This was a ride that talked about tall educational institutions that dotted the space with a new base. This ride constantly reminded one that unity in diversity chapter gets better illustrated in this section with a vision. This ride had revelation of sorts that items as elementary as dosa and milk are much in vogue in this region not saddled by divisions.

Precautions To Tail While On A South India Odyssey, And Some Finding This To Be Easy
Precautions To Tail While On A South India Odyssey, And Some Finding This To Be Easy
One had lost count of number of times I got drenched in Udhagamandalam as it was lashed by rains for six neat days with some finding the need to wade into mineral water Kinley praise. The drizzle with a whistle was visible all over the place, and this not difficult to gauge. One had lost count of number of times I had white rice in Chennai, Coimbatore, Kotagiri, Udhagamandalam and Coonoor, and this looking to endure. White rice that could not set the agenda straight in a nation where dissent is somewhat getting glazed.
Bathing Amidst Cold Water
One had lost count of bathing that I subjected myself to with cold water as hot supply off and on was something to bother. These 18 straight days in South India left one with thoughts on why this territory is home to rains with no gains. These 18 straight days I was denied milk by all cooks with looks, and abstaining from the demand to ascertain availability from roundabout hill with no submissions on when to pay the power bill. One had lost count of I leaving North Lake in Udhagamandalam minus sweater, and with temperatures dipping to a low of 17, some finding this apt to visit canteen.
Precautions To Tail Divisions To Nail
Ever finding it suitable to visit Kotagiri, Kodanadu View Point and Udhagamandalam (All Places In Tamil Nadu Province In South India), there are precautions to be tailed and divisions to be nailed. These territories where Hindus, Christians and Muslims zero in on in equal numbers, and unity in diversity dictum is humongous. The pronouncement to share the meal and share the turf is equally appealing in a province that provides touch of healing. Let the word be out as soon as one accesses Kotagiri sweater be underneath shirt as receding temperatures one would find hard to adjust with no speculation to rest. Trilan Cottages be the place of stay in Kotagiri as it can give handsome view of the town with some checking with the name Brown. Let the word be out that Annalakshmi Drive In Veg Restaurant in Kotagiri be the one to be tried time and again, here none slammed by chapters of cane. Annalakshmi Drive In Veg Restaurant I missed in Udhagamandalam, and here it should be thrown open to public once it gets inaugurated with all guarantees on surface added. The most common belief that Udhagamandalam has fewer standard cafeteria in a nation where officialdom would like to maintain contacts with influential people in Asia. These 18 days Sun barely came out in one snatch here and one snatch there, and one better be advised to carry Vitamin D supplements as so far they have retained their dominance. These 18 days reminded one that if ever stepping out for Kotagiri and nearby areas better watch out for rains criss-crossing different lanes.

The Ride from Udhagamandalam To Coimbatore
The Ride from Udhagamandalam To Coimbatore
Having stayed in Udhagamandalam for six days, it was time to leave this city having had the intensity to explore back and forth, the city abutting Kodanadu View Point where AQI of 20 it quietly holds. AQI of 20 and sitting pretty holds promise for a province that knows how to get out of situations that are tense. Have had the honour of visiting Lord Murugan Temple and Goddess Mariamman Temple in the heart of the city with these two spots holding good number of devotees from as early as '80s. Leave Hotel Green Valley at 12.32 with host Mr Kiran hailing from Kasaragod in Kerala as ever cheerful, this meeting of mind coming after eight years with no fears. Mr Kiran is large hearted and a man of principle, and his entire staff going by the names Mr Ishant, Mr Aditya, Mr Shakeel, Mr Najeed won't at any point of time turn rebel. Automan Mr Ramesh drops me at Udhagamandalam bus station. Board bus with Kerala number KL 15 A 2987 with all likelihood this ride may mean some may have to sport turban. Go past Hotel mountain view, go past Milky Mist store, go past Aavin Junction, go past Chennai Silks store where rumours at no point of time should get the added floor. At 1.10 Coimbatore is 83 kms, and this noted by those who report for news agency Reuters. The commute is flanked by Board of Ooty The Queen Of Hills. Thank You And Visit Again in a nation where there has been no press conference in a decade in lane. At 1.21 reach Yellanhalli, and as one went past Beijing Bites one reached Aravankadu with no tales to hide. This was followed by Coonoor where enquiries were made about Venkateswara Lodge in 2018 when in proximity were those in sweet 16. From here Madurai is 285 kms giving no jitters.
Reminders All Along
Reminders all along: Never overtake at curves. Few moments later pass through Nandagopal bridge. At 2.12 reach Puddukkadu. From here Coimbatore 50 kms. At 2.30 go past Kollar Forest Check post. There are so many curves on the way it takes a toll on your happiness quotient irrespective of those garnering share dividend. You can't keep away from this thought that on this stretch taxi ride should be tried, and this would be a welcome ride. Reach Mettupalayam at 2.30 and stop at Dhanam Mess and leave from here at 3.03 in the face of understanding on Sir Creek. From here Salem 63, Erode 104, and reach Mettupalayam bus stand when most hamlets on rumours shut door. When Coimbatore (CBE) is shown to be 32 kms, and from here flyovers galore which though not wide is happy spot for even those commuters with budget tight. Here Thoughts on Ajmer Dargah. At 3.40 Madurai 255 kms with news not looking to be latest on climate that some detest. Few minutes later Cochin 194, Alappuzha 204, and reach Gandhipuram bus stand at 4.25 with some suggesting vehicles need to stick to lane drive. Take auto at 4.32 with Mr Silvaraj at the helm with Nanjappa road looking to be in bad shape, and Madras Bangalore road broad, and more would like to ape. Take room number 76 in Haripriya Lodge opposite station where people come on vacation.
Coimbatore Automan Mr Mohammad Amrish Disciplined
With Automan Mr Mohammad Amrish taking me to S K Decoration at 898, Raja Street, Near Five Corner Coimbatore 641001 to get pen and register with this gentleman looking to be most disciplined, and this statement of facts to be made again and again by visitors. In Udhagamandalam in Net Technologies there was one Mr Chandra Sekhar who was quite cooperative and affable, and hope all through he has visitors who maintain long distance travel. ootynetcity@gmail.com
As for next destination, I took ticket of Sabari SF Express from Coimbatore to Tirupati. Hoping to be with Lord Venkateswara Of Tirumala.

Taking A Bus From Udhagamandalam To Thalaikundha, Going to Kodappamund High Hill Tea, Train Ride To Coonoor
Taking A Bus From Udhagamandalam To Thalaikundha, Going To Kodappamund High Hill Tea, Train Ride To Coonoor
As I reached Udhagamandalam on a Sunday, thoughts were all about preparations I had to undertake before I set on a South India Voyage which welcome visitors from as far distant as Hong Kong who have gained benefits of JC JoyAge. The day I am supposed to leave for South (July One) seven days prior to that I had stopped taking milk to keep tummy in shape as one never knows from which quarter there would be trouble wave. Thousand issues criss-cross your mind while mapping out an itinerary as irresistible has been the invite from South since July 1995 when India in world theatre was quite loud. Once in Udhagamandalam, frenetic was the search for cyber cafe with the one going by the name Net City Internet run by Mr Naren functioning irrespective of rains. This time round I could not do even one story from their store, and herein Net City Technologies (Shop Number 5, 6, Kavitha Complex, Thendral Restaurant, Hobart Park Cross Road) had the legitimate roar. Net City Technologies obliged me on occasions more than once to do stories which tried to reason out the South India queries.
Ride To Thalaikundha
On a Monday with nothing much to do, I decided to board a bus with no stress. As I took a bus to Thalaikundha, there were reminders on the need to keep city clean and green. Go past Govt Medical College The Nilgiris. Thoughts on snow capped Udhagamandalam if ever possible and would there be occasional sighting of polo bears, and this may come around if environment one cares. Having reached Thalaikundha and from here Masinagudi 68, Mudumalai 61 and Mysuru 152 kms. In Thalaikundha there is liquor bottle and plastic waste collection kiosk functioning dawn to dusk. Thalaikundha is known for greenery and rolling hills situated along the Nagapattinam-Coimbatore-Gundlupet Highway getting its share of visitors from Maharashtra's Mumbai. Mind you, the ride to Thalaikundha had less reservoir of support as the bus was cramped, and some visiting their camp.
Ride From Thalaikundha To Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand
The ride from Thalaikundha to Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand was bumpy with reminders never overtake in curves, and as there is SBI Indunagar branch there are some wishing to hold out an olive branch. Go past Nest 'n' Mist Bakery. Go past Eucalyptus oil factory. From here fuel station 3.6 kms. Some women from Muslim community in animated conversation with Hindu family in the bus knowing fully well strawberry shake can lend you the right guess. Go past The Cliff School. Go past Suji Suriya's Chocolate Factory. Go past Finger Post. Go past Snowfall Rooms and Cottages. Go past Long Wood Cottage. Reminder plastic straws would invite fine of Rs 1000 with some holding brief on Chinese manufacturer Suzhou Douson. Go past Woodside School. Go past State Bank Of India branch. Go past Holiday Home For Central Govt. Reach Udhagamandalam Central Bus Stand at 4.53 with no need to tie a lone man to a tree. This ride coming on a day when I had barely spent 24 hours in the city where rush hour tourist traffic noted in May- June make some croon.

Ride From Kotagiri To Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu Province
Ride From Kotagiri To Udhagamandalam In Tamil Nadu Province
Mr Devraj is the taximan who gets me a ride. Leave Kotagiri at 2.23 PM as the bus is cramped with no standing space either even if some are bent to ride a tiger. As taxi moves on, Iyengar's Bakery is not hard to spot. Gasoline refill at Indian Oil pump done with ease with none at this hour likely to make calls to Greece. From here Gudalur 75, Udhagamandalam 25 kms. Go past Pandian Park dropping hints on directions to Horasholai. With Orasolai accessed there are directions to Anna Nagar, Kamraj Nagar and Udhagamandalam. Go past West Brooke with no urgency to look for a new cook. Thoughts on if Delhi could have been amidst hills, and that would have given this theatre new wheels. Thoughts as well on if one could take a taxi from Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh Province) to Delhi as trains are yet to ascertain the new tally. Lush green surroundings guide you, and here there would be none with career blues. From here for Coonoor turn left and for Udhagamandalam head straight. At 2.41 it begins to rain. There are twists and turns as we keep on the road with no intentional recce by leopard. Story could well be on Coimbatore and the Camaraderie and those making grand entry. At 2.53 reach Peror. As one goes past S N Valley Tea Factory, thoughts on Pamban bridge before Rameswaram in this very province where most are likely to complete new innings.
As noting is made of Tea Park 100 mts from here, Aavin parlour can be spotted here and there. Plastic And Litter Free Nilgiris Welcome You one can spot with High Hill Tea Shop which I visited some years ago with some familiar with Australian Sport Trugo. Ooty Cauvery Silk And Handicraft Emporium accessed with fewer under stress. Go past Kodappamund. Go past Kota's Emporium. Go past ST. Anthony's Shrine. Go past NDCC Bank (Charring Cross Udhagamandalam). Reach North Lake Road Udhagamandalam at 3.25, and gain access to Hotel Green Valley which welcomes visitors who have participated at different point of time in different set of rally. Mind you, the jeep MDN 8159 which I spotted in Kotagiri was one in million of that race bent to keep up the chase.
