Looks like Sachin and I will make it to the Meridien Bay lunch. We locals generally avoid beaches before 4pm, too hot for us.

Toodalli drive - a recap:

27 May,'16:

Cock a doodle doo, the clock struck two
Alarms went beep beep, signalling the end of sleep.

That was the scenario across nine tbhpian homes who signed up for Toodahalli.
Rising like the phoenix, within the hour, all got ready and gunned their rides for the trot to the rendezvous.

My vahan, ready n steady, “on her mark”…


As if prove a point, punctuality to a fault, all checked in well and truly early with unbridled enthusiasm;
“civic_convert” making his signature entry in the nick of time .
eager beavers @ Lanco Toll plaza


A light early-morning refreshment before breakfast:-
Chota hazri @ CCD, Arsikere






Breakfast @ Royal Orchid, Shimoga
