Preface

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

A line that inspired me the most. I am a traveller by heart and an enginneer by profession. I love them both, But being in a karmabhoomi like Bangalore, I had not given a good share of time to my heart.  For some reasons life had become so one sided and I was busy contributing in taping out microchips after chips. My heart was asking for some adventure, a small hangout, a small drive, some time for myself and to be cuddled in the arms of mother nature.

I am blessed to have my better half who is equally enthusiatic about enjoying travel, the distance that we cover, the culture that we get to learn, beauty of nature that we get to appreciate, and so we decided we both will go somewhere on a long drive. After all the permutations and combinations we decided to go out in July mid. This being the rainy season we were checking for the best options and finally we decided to go a place which is called "Gods own country".  I bet if there would be a better place to enjoy the nature as much as we can in Kerala (ofcourse I have a soft corner for enjoying the rains in Manipal though). With 8 days in hand about 2-3 places to explore we decided to that we would go to Munnar-Palakkad-Waynad-Ooty-Masinagudi. 

So with so many places to cover with the rains expected to change our plans and with not knowing which place would take what time in real. it was tough to decide on the travel dates to each place and to do any kind of bokings, This being the off season we decided we would go by our Nano, travel on our own  not book any hotels/resorts lets have some small adventure added to the list.

Thus the the heading "Naanu Neenu Namma Nano" translates to Me You and Nano.  Next few posts I will categorise them as per the days and will keep sharing my experience.
