Thenara thenara....

Unlike my usual trips, this one had a lot of preparation. Not by me :D, but still, we were well prepared. 'Born to be wild' & 'Maappi' started this crazy idea off as they were driven to the edge of sanity by the working hours at their internship. To start off, I would've called it nothing more than a fanciful dream. But, as has happened some times for me, I was proven wrong. The dream came true, and we ended up driving more than 5000 miles in a short span of 7 days.

I was apprehensive to begin with, thinking (out loud) of all the things could possibly go wrong and of the easier options open to us. Even after thinking of all these things, and debating (though briefly) about the options, we went ahead with the plan of a road trip to the Grand Canyon.



'Naanga Ettu Per, Engulukku Sense Endral Ennathu Ennu Theriyathu', this is what who ever heard of the trip said. But what the heck, we enjoyed the trip to the maximum extent possible... taking pics left right and center, without a care in the world (we had lappy's with us, so memory limit was not an issue). We ended up taking close to 5000 pics, with 5 cameras taking up 30 Gig of space.

We went through 12 or 13 states and celebrated BigB's birthday in 5 different states, starting off in New Mexico followed by Texas, where we cut the cake. We stopped for a fantastic lunch at a place called Gopuram in Oklahoma City. After a week of fast food, this was a welcome relief, which was relished by all of us.

We were dead tired when we came back on Saturday morning... but who cares... we did something which all of us enjoyed a lot.
