‘Hi’ mails …
After about 7 years from graduation, i got a ‘Hi’ mail a few days ago from one of my classmate (Karthik K). It was on Friendship day!
There were so many other classmates in the ‘cc’ list. Many were added to the ‘cc’ list later by others. Sorry to say about this, but I had almost forgotten a few of them. The best part of the mail chain was that many replied back to it with their work status, marital status and wedding invitations. This mail was so refreshing though nostalgic. It was very good to hear from old pals. The mail chain is still continuing with more that 40 conversations.
Thanks Karthik!
I suggest you can try out this too and for sure this would be a very good way to get in touch with friends.
Smiles of success
The first success of all the hardwork by the committed members/volunteers of Smayate Foundation has come true. All the six students of Koonankoppalu government school (adopted by Smayate) who appeared for the SSLC examination have passed with flying colours. It is for the first time that the school has acheived 100% pass percentage!

Roadies 2: Bangalore-Coonoor-Ooty-Mysore-Bangalore
It was a majesic drive through the Nilgiris – about 600Kms bike ride. Photos to come in next post.
Agumbe Bike Ride
So, I could atlast get some snaps of our Agumbe Bike ride trip from the busy Bangalore guys. It was a wonderful experience to ride almost 800Kms in 4 days. Although it was tiresome on the first day, we some how didnt feel much strain there after. We first rode to Hassan from Bangalore which is 180kms, stayed there over night and left to sringeri via chikmagalur. It is about 160 kms. The route is Hassan – Belur- Chikmagaluru- Aldur- Balehonnur -Sringeri. We reached Sringeri by noon. But it was still raining. The rain-God was following us all the way from Bangalore. We had to see the sunset in Agumbe as it is famous for. We then set out to Agumbe which is about 40kms from Sringeri in the evening. It was an awesome ride. We couldnt get a glimpse of Sun though. We retuned back to Sringeri and stayed overnight. Still raining. We returned back the next day to Hassan. The rain was thankfully getting weaker as we moved away from Sringeri. This is exactly when you need to see the beauty of WesternGhats, just after a rain. It was now when our cameras came out boldly capturing some memories for us. By the time we reached Bangalore it was quite sunny again. A glimpse of Sun atlast. Enjoy the snaps.

How about this?
How about a trip through the Western Ghats on a bike ride while it is raining or has just stopped raining? Thrilling isn’t? I had been to one such trip on 21-21-22-23rd March to Agumbe from Bangalore on bikes along with my friends; a round trip of about 800kms. It was an awesome experinece. More to come in next post.
