Travel Bugs!!

 “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine

       Last weekend had an interesting discussion with my friends... We were just back from a one day trip to Yelagiri and we were discussing how awesome the trip was and gradually the discussion went on to whether we will be going on such trips, once we get married :P
One wise man (Thats me :D) suggested that we go to all the interesting places before marriage and have the most amazing, fun filled tours along with friends instead of nagging wives (Comedy panna koodathu.. ipave sollitaen) :P

We are all around 24+ now and we might have only around 2 or 3 years before we all get married and after that we will not be having that much time to hang out with friends...

So we all decided that in the next two to three years we must go to all the important places in india...

Ashwin compiled a list too and here is the complete list of the places that we plan to cover... one place in a month... by that calculation we would have covered about 24 - 36 places before we get married... he he :D

Pretty good right?
