Great pictures there Nikhil!

Awesome overnighter it was. Pleasure meeting you all every time folks

And as usual, extraordinary planning and execution by Ravi!

So the eternal question again. Ravi - when is the next one?

[FORTified]

Very well planned/executed trip indeed. Thanks to Ravi saar and 'Erode' Sumanth.
While waiting for the writeup from the chief, couldn't resist the statement - 'Why the crazy b**tard is going back?'
People that shared my jeep in the jungle safari wouldn't have forgotten it either

@Ravi: Thanks for organizing the Kabini meet. We all had a great time.
Eagerly waiting for the next two/three nighter :-)

Thank you Ravi sir for a very well planned and organized trip.. As Deepak mentioned, we never felt like newbies thanks to all the other team members.

Sumanth, thanks for the wonderful T-shirts.

Edit: Nice pictures Nikhil & Rohan..

Hello folks, delighted to bring you the customary report on the Kabini drive meet, this the 10th edition of the overnighters.

The preceding collage of narrative and candid snapshots, constitutes a natural preamble.

The ethos of the drive having already been succinctly captured, brevity it is. Therefore, the economy with both words and visuals .

Saturday 5th December:

As dawn broke, most made their way to the designated rendezvous on Mysore Road. The few who missed the departure time caught up with us en route or at breakfast at Kamat Upachar.

The convoy all lined up, ready for departure:




Breakfast time




After breakfast, memorabilia comprising Tshirts with the drive mascot imprinted on the reverse were presented to the participants.

The mascot, a magnificent specimen of a leopard, was
“captured” through the lens of fellow bhpian Torque123.

Acknowledgements are due to Torque123, for permission to use the photograph, KarthikK-tilt for their inputs on fabric and layout, Gopal for production and sumzup for co-ordination.

TShirt bags ready for presentation


Our elegant models




Charming junior bhpians




Post breakfast, one for the road

"quotable quotes" courtesy Nikhil

"The resort itself was beautiful and green!"


"After checking in we tucked in to a sumptuous meal."


"We then went for a jeep/van safari in the afternoon"






"...but we were all disappointed."


"One elephant was the highlight I guess."


"The evening was an enjoyable with everyone sitting around and chatting and eating "


to be contd...

Sunday 6th December:

"The next morning we went on a boat ride... "




"...and spotted a few birds. But still nothing special."






"…. checked out and drove back to Mysore for lunch"




"Most of them went to the falls"




Homeward bound


The End

One more memorable drive.
Another nice trip stored down the memory lane that demands multiple revisits.

Got a chance to meet many nice people - my room mate Praveen 'Bihari' Balan, Ravi, Deepak, Prem, Vivek, Vedant, KK, Nikhil [and I am sure I forgot many more names] and had the privilege of bonding with old drive mates.

Thanks for the memories Ravi saar.....but as usual 'Yeh dil maange more'

When/where is the next one?

Some of Rohan's pictures look like an advertisement for the Jopasu duster
