Weekend Getaway

What a way to bring up my 100th Post by posting pics of a temple and a wonderful fort I explored. Last weekend, I went to the temple town of Tirupati ( yeah, am getting more religious these days ) and to Chandragiri fort. The fort was amazing and to get the entire tour of the fort ,one had to climb the hill close by ( apparently a 4hr climb) . Prior permission , to climb the hill ,is a must , so a guide can climb with you.

This fort above belonged to the king and the one below belonged to the queen.



And of course, it was a great drive back.

PhotoWalk

Last weekend, I went on a Photowalk with a group. Have always wanted to be a part of the walk but never happened. This time too, wanted to do a complete walk but then, was forced to cut short half way. A route is decided a couple of weeks in advance ( around 2-3 kms ) and the group walks along the route taking pics along the way.
Walking in the streets of Triplicane, Chennai, I was amazed to see how old the buildings were.


Next weekend, it gets more religious.

Oasis

It was as good as an oasis in the middle of no where. This is where we went to meet our heroes :)
A long 100 km + drive and it was hard to imagine that there can be this sort of peace next to the chaos we live in. The resort that we went to, had some innovative ideas and a really well kept loo :)) .

We also went to a village close by and it was amazing to see what nature could do.
