Cauvery, Chennapatna, Kanva reservoir and Muthathi

Trip to Cauvery and Muthathi is another venture of the PIRT. It was a one day trip and Raghavendra, Srikanth, Naveen, Shuaib, Arvind, Ram Charan and Reagan (From left to right in pic) all came together for this.

The Pirtans planned for a 2 day trip. The planning went on for more than a week. So many calls, messages, mails and conference calls were made for the "Saturday-Sunday" trip. Even on Friday night we were not able to decide on the destination, mode of transport and the people who are coming. It was so funny. We simply could not decide in spite the talks and chats . We would agree on something and after a day it would get scrapped. Then on Saturday we decided that we will "just go" somewhere and decide about the destination. That was am awesome idea. On Saturday we called and asked Reagan and Shuaib to get their cars and both agreed, so one problem was solved. By saturday night 7 of us had confirmed.

So, on the dawn of Sunday we just left......

We did not know where to but just took a direction and we hit the highway. On our way we took few detours and explored the roads and you can see what we came up with. We saw some amazing landscapes and empty places which we had for ourselves.

Kanva Reservoir (above) was one of the places that we visited. The weather there was amazing and the when we were on the reservoir we could see the horizon (below) as there were no buildings and we could see the rains in the distant. Slowly the passing clouds came over us and we all had to run for shelter.

The reason we had a get together was to decide and plan for a 2 day trip. Select the place, transport, the dates and the people who are coming. We had so much fun that we totally forgot about the motive of the trip and did not plan about the trip until we stopped by to have tea on our way back.

It was not the best season to visit the Cauvery/Kaveri but she was as elegant as always. Though this trip was not planned it was far better than all of our planned trips. Only when you plan you know what is right. So, nothing went wrong and we just drove randomly and enjoyed the freedom. This was actually a "Pre-trip Planning session": A trip to plan about a trip.

These are two unique feature of this trip and that is the speciality of PIRT, no planning but effective execution.

Its good to have friends, its great to have good friends, its greater to have so many good friends and its greatest to have so many good friends for 7 years.
