A road trip to Kanchipuram......

There is something strangely exciting about being able to know what future holds ……

Actually coming to think of it there is some thing strangely exciting about not knowing what next…..

But I guess the curiosity to know what is there in store for us in the years to come combined with the non belief in the fact that some one could have predicted OUR future years back….and… of course the enthusiasm of taking our first all girls road trip…. Made Aditi and me take off in my first car (that I drove… now this is another long story… may be I will tell some time later) and we drove 270 km to reach KANCHIPURAM--- the town of Silk Sarees.. (a long fabric that is draped in a beautiful manner, a traditional women wear in India).

The FOUR biggest attractions for us in the trip were….The Drive…. Nadi Jyothis ( Predictions of our destiny)… Silk Sarees…. and… Sarwana Bhawan (the south Indian eating joint) in the same order…. But the most exciting in the end were The Drive….Sarwana Bhawan… the sarees…. and …. Nadi Jyothis…. In the same order again.


The onward drive was beautiful with the yellow and orange rays of sun breaking through the clouds waking up the world to a beautiful morning… which lead us into a day filled with new experiences in a different town… and while we drove back… the sun was moving on to brighten another part of the world and… the moon… was romancing with the clouds in a manner that made your heart skip a beat… it sure was a trip to remember.



… never mind what tomorrows hold…I am glad for today !

Hmmm....just popping in a note to say thanks, for all the fun. By the way, surprises are fun, good or bad...so astrologers and the likes are definitely off my curiosity list.

Somebody convince me that there is a science to it...
