The wandering mind…a spoonful of indecisiveness or a thimbleful of inspiration? - quote by "yours truly"!This was the much needed break after cramming the last few months of real hard work. While the break was a necessity, the places came quite by accident. And, even the actual date of riding out came like that... an accident.
Only two things were planned. One, the deed of taking the break, and two, the thought of biking “somewhere” …
To be true to the spirit of the road hog that I've become, the Bullet was checked up, serviced and tuned to perfection, a short test ride to make it highway prone, the saddle bags sunned out, a list of things to buy and do before take off made and ready.
The leave due on September 25, dragged on till the 28h. The vaguely-fixed date of departure 29th, we still were not clear where we should go… few bland options…Mysore, Hassan, Ooty, Bandipur … seen em all many times over. Boring mate.
So the 29th was the first day of inspirational focus, to figure out whether we’re going out at all or not. Loafed around the whole day, bought most of the things needed, hung out at Pecos, waffled over a movie, floated over a book, random searched google (with words like yawn, fiber optics, tar, nicotine not even remotely associated with what I wanted to do)…
It did strike early evening. Wildlife as a first to go. So after a few searches and phone calls later, we KNEW that we were going to ride out the next day, and where we were headed and the first pit stop became Nagerhole.
