It had been a long time since my last long drive. Hyderabad does not seem like a place which is conducive to fast driving since my last tr
ip i was desparate to hit the roads at more than 120kms/hr,stopping at dhaba's dal fry and tandoori roti(of course with rechilled RC). With project pressures and global recession taking a drain on my mental capacity and band width, it was high time to recharge my batteries. 
we were planning for suryalanka (dreamt of spending a lovely full moon night on a beach with a splendid Wine bottle,listening to my fav tracks while fishing.......)due to the last minute change in our plans we had to post pone the trip but for Sunday the goons were game,we had only one day for trip and chetan suggested 
bidara's an alternative place which is 130 kms though i was little skeptical but decided "doing some thng is better than wasting my week Sleeping ".The day before i stayed at Chetans place and got to know its not four of my frnds but the other gang would join us in the morning
at 6am near BHEL. The way to Bidar from Hyderabad is to get onto the Pune highway, go on till Zaherabad and then turn right to Bidar. Once you reach the place ask for directions to the Kila (fort),temple,gurudwara. The distance is 135ms from Marredpally(Chetans place) in hyderabad, which is easily doable in 2.5 hrs with stops. On with the journey then :) 5:45am. were are struggling to get up in the morning coz i remember we slept around 4am .Once we were set and started for the first mile as usual i was the DJ of my car the morning raga started with Krishna Leela,Suprabatham,keertanas of Ayyapa,,,, it was all bakthi songs until we break for tea at 6:30then it was followed by desh bakthi.After finishng the 3 rounds of tea , and capturing the early momemts , me bhabhi(chetans wife) and arnab headed towards our destination,arnab took the charge of wheels as i promised him to drive till the sunrise .The early morning is quite beautiful, if it was not for the man-made clutter of wires all around. I dont know when we as a civilization will get aesthetic sense. From all my travels to sites of yesteryears, it seems that our forefathers did have the sense, but we seem to have lost it.
