Tour of the Nilgiris: Day 1 and 2 Posted on December 17, 2009December 28, 2009 After being flagged off at around 8 am in the morning yesterday (dec 16), it’s been around close to 270+ kms of cycling upto now for the TFN riders. On Day 1, we made it from Bangalore to Mysore via the National Highway. It wasn’t the most pleasant stretch in terms of traffic, but I was just glad that I could get this part over with. With trucks and other high speed vehicles all moving at break neck speeds and honking continuously, it’s not really conducive to cyclists. But after lunch on the road, we reached our destination – the comfortable Hotel Regaalis and even got some time to take in some sightseeing in the evening. Day 2 was an early morning start – we began around 720 am from Mysore and headed towards Hassan. A rather rolling terrain, which meant that our muscles got a big workout pedalling up and down for many kilometers. The only positive today was the great weather – it started drizzling in the morning and then got cloudy till around noon. It was only after our lunch stop (at around 95 kms from Mysore) that the sun came out! This also meant that we had to pedal the hardest stretch (long, long climbs!) with the sun shining down on us! I was just glad to reach the hotel (Southern Star, Hassan) and have a really hot shower to relax the worn out muscles.

Europe The magic of mealtime Posted on August 7, 2018August 7, 2018 Growing up, I remember that my parents always made sure we ate at the table. Together. At least one meal and it was usually dinner. I didn’t really pay much importance to it till I grew up and moved on and out of home. Now that I look back, I… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
