Trip to TopSlip! :)

Weekend trip to Top Slip (near Coimbatore) with a lovely bunch of friends from BMS college..
Short trip to the Mountain top, Official Safari, a short medium difficulty trek and an impromptu drive into the jungle, visit to monkey falls and a dam nearby.. All this and more brought in loads of opportunities to explore my H50.. Got a few decent shots.. Check 'em out.. :)

Nothing great about this one, I like the fact that I managed to focus what I wanted to focus :)

The mighty elephant poses quite unabashedly..

Trip to Honnemaradu!

Although the trip was before I took off to Mumbai, I could not find time to upload pics that I had taken. Here they are finally, in the next few posts..

Honnemaradu is truly one of the loveliest places I have been to so far..
Lovely people too, although I hardly knew half of them.. :)
Absence of anyone too close for comfort made me feel much better than I had expected to..

To me this trip meant a lot more than just a trip..
I was mostly lost in my thoughts, reflecting upon umpteen things, recalling things that I had to do, planning ahead, remembering good old days etc..
.. for, I knew back then that my stint with Mumbai had a very good chance of making me a different person.

Well, here I am after 5 months at SP and I find myself quite different already! :P

Browse through the pics and tell me what you think..

PS: This post is dedicated to me! :)
