Don't really want to dampen the spirits for tomorrow. But saw an article in the Hindu that Kurnool is sweltering hot now.

Please carry plenty of water with you. And hopefully there won't be any powercuts during our lunch hour..

Eating the raagi mudde is an art itself. After I introduced my wife and kids to the raagi mudda at Rayalaseema Ruchulu and Kritunga, it is now cooked at home regularly, especially as accompaniment to mutton curry.

Feel real sad that I am missing the mega meet but my son's school gang meet is also tomorrow at a farm house near Kompally. Arcot's pics are adding to the pain.

You guys have a blast, drive safe.

Waseem bhai, missing out on meeting you. Do call next time you are in Hyderabad.

[vnabhi]

Saw Hyd-traveller reversing his Manza from Bridgestone tyre shop behind Mainland China a few minutes ago, after filling up air/ nitrogen.

I went there for the same purpose. Looks like everyone is preparing for the mega drive with bated breath!

I'll be using the Figo tomorrow instead of the Fiesta. I want to check out how she performs on the highway with the XM2s---her first ever highway trip in 5 months.

As regards Kurnool heat, I checked that it was 38 degrees C today, a degree less than Hyderabad. So nothing much to fret about.

[Schoudhury]

Ya temp seems to be around 39 tomorrow .

Hope it's not gonna be humid also, otherwise we Bangalore guys will find it tough .

Cheers

Just wanted to reconfirm that the tyre pressure was ok though had got the nitrogen checked just 2 weeks back.

The car is A/C and so is the restaurant. A little heat can be tolerated.

I have dumped 2 litres of water filled in empty soda bottles into the freezer compartment. Will carry that frozen bottles with me and drink chilled water once the ice melts which will be faster if the temperatures are higher.

I wouldn't mind paying for the missed lunch, if things don't work out.
