very true .today was one of those days which we call " perfect"

weather was amazing ..70% of the journey to and fro was rains.

our newly discovered picnic spot was all green and lovely. spotted couple of eye candies at the gurudwara in bidar as well

ravs ,pulsar ,brajesh bhai and anna (suren) . what a lovely outing guys

pulsar bhai ,upload some pics! hope you have send few pics of mine to manchester united bosses.lol

Ravveendrra · 28th September 2009, 12:32

Like RR & Nazim have said it was a perfect day. After days of sweltering heat Sunday dawned nice and cloudy and it had rained a fair bit through the night too. The outside temperature was 23 degrees as we set off. 9.30 saw the bulk of us at BHEL gate. Suren landed up in full kit on his GTS!!

We tried to dissuade Suren from taking his bike along but Suren in his childlike enthusiasm (well known quality in him & that which makes him so lovable) insisted on undertaking the drive on his bike. Nothing much to be done about it, so we set off in 3 cars and a bike.

A few KM down the road we receive a call - Suren has abandoned his plan of riding all the way, has parked his bike in a Petrol bunk and wants to be picked up - Halleluah.

Now the story in pics:

The NH 9 to Mumbai on a lovely cloudy day with green alongside

.

The ever exciting road to Bidar after the turn off from the NH, this road is scenic, fast and fun

These tombs peek out from behind trees and buildings on the way to the Gurudwara and have intrigued me on every visit so Nazim and I decide to visit them this time. They are in a sorry state and are crumbling, the vegetation growing from the walls and domes shows that the only interest the Archeological Survey of India has taken is to put up a board with their name on it.

Done with the town we drive along this green road to our spot.

more. ....

Cheers,

Uh, is that some kinda bod(d)y workout, ram?!

Anyways, glad you guys had a great time! I ended up waking up too late (as usual!

) yesterday to meet up at BHEL (which is like the other end of the city for me!) plus my car too wasn't all ready (needed a wash, tune-up etc.)

Ravvs, pity about those tombs! What tombs are those btw?

Good catch shyam!

Thank you Ravveendrra for the start...

Here come the pictures from my side! You all can start feeling J now!

A lovely morning just before we start!

Rain drops keep falling on my head... Because I'm free... Nothin's worryin' me!

Beautiful rain all the way up to Zaheerabad.

Sometimes it turned out to be crazy rain resulting in poor visibility! LOL.

Meet Mr. Rossi!

After the right turn towards Bidar.

Get ready for...

trainspotting!

Entering the Gurudwara.

Wish I knew. ASI has not put any information there so I will have to check net & any books.

Ram asked about the spot - here it is (sorry about the bad stitching - my mistake).

The trusty steeds do duty as pantry, music system etc.

Three musketeers (actually one musketeer and two Jr. Musketeers) brave enough to climb the tower.

The Juniors watch as their hero climbs ever higher.

Our tiger stretches out (after all we are shahi nawabs) while at the same time keeping a watchful eye on the cubs who are on the tower.

The only fauna we saw (wont actually qualify as wildlife) though we heard peacocks and several other birds.

Now the flora -

@ waist level

& high up

Perspective

A view of the "Dhannomatic" (thanks Himanshu for giving HRH-RR's steed an apt name). HRH-RR & the Dhannomatic again imitated a cruise missile, starting at point A and unwaveringly proceeding to point B at a constant speed. Gosh, I will miss the Dhannommatic on our drives not to mention that all of us will sorely miss our own ever cheerful livewire - Rajesh Rawal, aah well Chennai's gain, Hydeez loss.

Thanks Nazim for the pics of the Tank on a wet road - now I know how effective the tyres are (see the track with less water than the road) and the rear fog light are in the rain.

Cheers,

Stanher · 28th September 2009, 18:11

Nice pics.! Thanks Nazim and Ravvs. 'was most intrigued by those of the tombs though.

Next time when you get to meet him, I'm sure he would've forgotten Hindi and would converse only in pure Madras tamil!

And maybe even Tamglish, a la Quick Gun Murugun........Miind iT!

hillram · 28th September 2009, 23:34

zen91 · 29th September 2009, 10:42
