Only one more week to go and I’m pretty excited about the trip to my parent’s home, in Tuticorin. In May, I drove to Pondicherry which is around 150 km away from Madras. But now I’m going to drive around 500 km. In Europe I’ve driven much more than this in a single day. There it would’ve taken me 5 hrs for this. However, with the chaotic traffic and bumpy roads, it is risky here and the best estimate is that it is going to take 10 hrs to reach home. If it is risky, why do I want to drive? Come on, what is life without risks? And what is the purpose of buying a car, if I don’t park it in my parent’s house, who, despite all my naughtiness, have brought me up so far.

Here is how the trip is going to be: From Chennai to Trichy and then Trichy to Tuticorin. On Nov 1st, we will be driving from Tuticorin to Bangalore.
