Ten days

It almost got to a point when it felt like I am running on an escalator, tiring myself out unnecessarily whilst the contraption is moving at a steady pace on a pre guided path to destination nowhere! I decided to do something, just wanted to get off that escalator and march to my own different drummer and see where it goes.

I got a ten day break from what I do as a regular occupation. About what I do.., I am by definition a Placement & Training Manager at an Engg/Mgmnt college thats located in the beautiful surrounds of a town called Shimoga. What I do is not important than why I do it! We'll get into that later, but first about my ten days...

I couldn't quite remember my last vacation ever since I got back from UK. It has been a very soul searching experience since then, actually its been less of soul and more of searching. The fact is I have been at crossroads, and that too both professionally and personally. Again, this deviation shall be explored to the fullest in the course of these ten days. So without much of a prelude to the story thats unfolding, the journey started at 12.00 AM, Aug 06,2011. I was the only passenger in my car, and with the monsoons at its full fury I started off towards this little town near the Arabian coast called Mudibidre.
