Ganapathy Sir,

You just made my morning. Awesome write-up and special mention to your enthusiasm (and somewhat close to millennial thoughts) and friendship. You are among the few oldage guys who are always enthusiastic about leaving life to the fullest and making each moment count. Even my father at the age of 67 hasn't lost any of his enthusiasm to drive our car (Hyundai i10) the same way he used to drive his age old BAJAJ SUPER EXCEL scooter (which ultimately got stolen!). Kudos to your attraction towards SUVs!

Absolutely agree about the comfort and fun we can have with our childhood friends. Am truly blessed to be living with most of them even now.
Thank you "majumon" for your kind words and kind wishes. You are indeed blessed for being able to live with your friends. I do hope my friends and I continue to travel together for as long as we can.

After reading your travelogue, I realized while I joined Team-BHP for a shared love of Automobiles, it is the travelogues I am especially drawn to. Through the eyes of TBHPians, I have come to know of unspoiled & pristine locations all across India. I tell myself someday I will visit them, then along comes a post like yours which tells me the time to visit is now. So thanks for waking me up.

I look forward to your future travelogues & that of TBHPians.
Thank you" laser" for your appreciation. Glad to kow that you liked my travelogue. you are absolutely right - the time is now . Take care and wishing you many happy trips

have fun, live life and keep traveling.
Thanks "madhukriss" for your kind appreciation and support. I am indeed lucky to have such friends.

With regards to traveling,having fun and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, it is never too late to enjoy it. Hope you continue your travels and share the journeys with us.
I love your style of narration as well. So thank you once more and keep it coming.

Cheerio!
Thanks Doc for your kind words . Please do make more time for your self and do travel with friends and family. I agree that in your profession, its easier said than done. Take care and God Bless

Spending time with friends is one of the best ways to make yourself happier. After starting your family, extra effort needs to be made to make this happen. Effort that's well worth it.

The following passages made my day.
Thanks evil_grin for your words of appreciation . Am grateful.

I 200% agree to that nickname part as we still address the way we used to do in college 23 yrs ago whenever we speak.

Thanks for sharing!
Thanks smrtdvl for your kind words. Great to hear that you guys manage to travel together regularly. Keep it up and take care

I hope you will continue with your adventures and share some of those beautiful moments with us.

Thanks,
Thanks gmhossain for your words of appreciation. Take care.

Most friendships as you grow up tend to be around mutual convince and social status. They fade away as you age and the old friends shine like forgotten diamonds in the rough.
Thanks akshay for your note of appreciation. Love your last bit comparing old friends to daimonds. Take care.

Thanks Pavan Shetty for your words of appreciation. i am really inspired to hear that your father at 67 still enjoys driving. Sorry to hear about the Bajaj Scooter. it was truly an iconic symbol of our days. Take care.
