Drinks once again.. The boot space has been fully utilized.. The concentration and dedication in the eyes for Fixing up the cocktail.. 

Nagarhole Bandipore Road

This part of road stretch was fine.. So what does it call for?? 

Bandipore Nagarhole route

Stopped.. for what.. Whatelse?.. Beerin Beerout.. Once again Beerin.. 

Bandipore

Late night shot this.. So, the reflection of the flash in the deers eyes.. Once again, shot in low light conditions at full 10x zoom and camera shake.. The result screwed up shot.. Still to honeup my photography skills.. 

Nagarhole Guesthouse

Shot near the Nagarhole guesthouse, using a tripod at full zoom.. Comparitively clearshot.. But the inadequacy of the zoom could be felt here.. 

Bandipore

Found several of these spotted deers everywhere through out the route.. Plent of em.. may be 1000`s.. but they were shying away and we cant stop for long since a bear attack or a wild animal can be fatal. Infact, at a few place enroute we could smell the stench of dead animal.. Wanted to investigate, but very dangerous so we kept moving..

 

Bandipore

That`s me on the top of the forest watchpost.. Unfortunately it was locked on top.. so just returned..
 

Bandipore-Enroute

Boozer Associated.. The guy on the right told me several stories about drinking unnecessarily... Anyway, its a different way of living.. 

Bandipore Enroute

Drink <> Eat <> Drink <> Eat...... ....... on & on & on.. Like Patients who are supposed to take medicines on a hourly basis, our guys were taking this medicine.. Never missing the hour.. 

Bandipore - Enroute

Shot of a movingn car.. A Marsh with lots of rainwater. It had rained pretty badly a few days before our trip.. and even during our trip sometimes.. though not heavily. 

Bandipore

Now with all the confusion, we had somehow reached Nagarhole, which by itself is a wild life sanctuary. Unfortuante is the fact, it has rained very heavily in the past few days, and so the animals dont come to the waterholes around.. the roads were fully potholed & the drive was jumpy..

We took a route to Bandipore via Nagarhole so that the route cuts through the deep forest. We were a bit worried of getting restricted by the forest guards, since we didn`t have the permit, & the Alcholic drinks that we had in the boot of the car. But, we managed, luckily.. 

Bandipore - Enroute

A paddy field in Kerala.. 

Bandipore - Enroute

Some more shots.. 

Bandipore - Enroute

Everywhere u look around, its the same.. Scenic.. Water everywhere.. Its a mystery as to why Communists opposed CocaCola plant on A/c of scarcity of water..

God`s own place.. reiterated. 

Bandipore - Enroute

Kerala - God`s own country.. Further proof?? 

Bandipore

This was the sexy car we had travelled, and somehow we landed in Kerala, due to some defective planning i guess. But we litteraly pushed the car to the limits since the roads were awful.. 

Bandipore Trip

These were the guys with whom i had travelled. Surely it was fun, & i had realized they were big, sorry gigantic boozers.. The boozing activity would begin as early as 10 AM & food can be anything.. Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish.. U name it and they had it all. Like patients taking medicines time to time, the drinks wentin every 1.30 hour. & yes, these guys are real fun to be with, though i was new to `em, i felt home. Surely looking forward to go along next time. 

Bandipore Trip

Shot at Gundalpet bus station. This guy looked in high spirits in a traditional Ceremony and was dancing all along. I think its a wedding ceremony. 

Bandipore Trip - Enroute

We started from B`lore at abt 11.00 pm and reached Mysore with an overnight stay. Started early to Gundalpet at 6.30 am.. Shot on the NH enroute Gundalpet.
