Coimbatore (Last Week of June' 09- Friday)

On a rainy day in Mumbai (26th June 2009) somwehere around 16:00 hours, I had set off for my trip to Coimbatore. Coimbatore is the only place in South that I'm familiar with.

I have fallen in love with that place and I wanted to get back to Coimbatore, specially after my last trip. Today was a very pleasant day and I was moving out of town. I couldn't gulp that. Forgetting everything I set off on a trip to Coimbatore, expecting it to be even more pleasant.

This time my journey to Coimbatore was all by myself. So I carried a copy of the July edition of Autocar India. They had driven the Fiat Grande Punto and the Honda Jazz. So, I didn't realize how time passed by. I even carried printout of a few pages from the book called race Car Aerodynamics. Aerodynamics being my favorite subject I can read, write and discuss anytime. So I didn't realize how 1 hour 40 minutes flew by and I reached my destination.

Now, I had to travel alone to the hotel. Luckily by this journey turned out to be pleasant one. The taxi driver was an Automotive Engineer, and we sharing the same background, it wasn't difficult for me find a common topic and we went on and on, and never realised when we reached our destination. And that was it. I was in coimbatore, with no rains.

Reached my hotel, went out to a famous inn in the locality (K R Bakes) had the original South Indian Dosa, unlike the one you get in Mumbai. Then, back to hotel and off to sleep.
