Namma Bengaluru Highway (shifting home HYD-BLR) - Team-BHP

btirthankar · 24th July 2008, 19:08

The day had come.... my sudden transfer to Bangalore from Hyderabad.

First I was worried about the RTO guys who have been glamourised by many a BHpian for harrassment. Then I thought of the enjoyment of the drive on HYD-BLR.

I even suggested a thread . HYD-BLR Midway meet.

Anyways, here are pics.

BTW those of u who did not realise, I will be staying next door to our Distinguished Bhpian - AKROY. ... without him, I would have faced a hard time settling down.

Over to you guys.

Nice pics, bt! I was surprised on two counts however:-

1. The fact that you also sent goods by truck. It looks like you were hauling all your goods in the Innova.
2. The point that you took a nap--very rare to hear that from you

lancer&shogun · 24th July 2008, 19:15

Nice pictures and think you enjoyed your travel!

I sent the fridge, sofa and bed and AC by truck... I did not want to send the remaining stuff by road as.

they do look lousy but not actually. as the bed covers are old and faded.

Yes I had to catch a 20 min nap (3 times) as whole day I was like running around. My car did not though.

Gr8! AK and you together at one place? This is going to be a new history in the making. The eternal road kings, when they meet together. You two together can definitely plan a trip to the moon if not the Mars.

kutlee · 24th July 2008, 20:03

great trip. from Culcutta to Blore. I love that gooty pump. The only one!!

mjothi · 24th July 2008, 20:18

Welcome to Namma-Bangalore. so two frequant "long highway drivers" are next to next... Great. Waiting for your combined Travelogue. May be 2 Kolkata again???

zoomingbhat · 24th July 2008, 22:44

Hi btirthankar,Welcome to Bangalore.

Two Travelogues king in the same apartment,Its going to Be Raining Travelogues on TBHP soon

aaggoswami · 24th July 2008, 23:00

Frankly speaking, I was shocked to see the amount of luggage taken in by the car. Innova comes laden with great versatility.

I wonder how the handling would be affected by this load. Nice pictures specially the diversion pictures.

And you are now new neighbour of Akroy, right.

mobike008 · 24th July 2008, 23:30

Hey Basu, sorry to see you go to Bangalore and also that we could not party at my place as we thought we would before you leave.

Nice pictures and hope to see you back in hyderabad every fortnight, if not every week

. After all their is something important back here, right?

ASHISHPALLOD · 24th July 2008, 23:57

I was expecting this thread.
Akroy has mentioned your shifting to his apartment in his Pondechery thread.
Can we expect some spicy travelogue from two neighbours with Tirthankar's pics and Akroy's writeup.

Jesus, is that a real atte ka roti (non maida roti) down south ?

Tirthankar

1) Congratulations on the new job, (LinkedIn: Relationships Matter)
2) Great move however the downside is more expensive living in BLR.
3) Mid priced food in BLR is horrid. (excuse me guys, I have north Indian palate, cannot digest soda in tandoori rotis and nans.)

Will catch up with you soon.

Cheers
