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.
