A little bit of detour ..

~ Wednesday, June 11, 2008
I can feel the wind against my face as Im waiting for the dust to settle down. I am not exactly travel weary , considering I am not a prolific traveller like some of my blog mates , but there is this inexplicable feeling that goes on in my head.Besides that,I realize that I am at least three months behind schedule on my posts..There is the Coorg trip, the Hoysala trail, a weekend family trip to a temple near Bangalore which has some rare paintings, a couple of coffee estates and the Singapore trip..Where do I start ?



Im also lagging behind in my writing assignments.I have to finish a few stories - one for an inflight magazine , another couple for a Bangalore based magazine and newspaper and a bit of a contribution to a book and my regular column to The Hindu that I need to file. If you happen to see the Metro Plus on Mondays, do read Inside Story every fortnight. I write about a story behind the destination - the legends, the myths, the history ..My articles have also appeared in Simplifly and Jet Wings this month and earlier in Brunch, New Indian Express .. but my posts come first ..Im working on launching something on my own, which I hope will be out by August - September ..so all this probably means a bit of rest for my feet..But who knows where destiny leads..another road, another shore ..
