Drove to Jabalpur through a National Highway from Nagpur and came across something that thrilled me. MP Tourism has set up a jungle lodge kind of a hotel with a rest stop restaurant which others on the move can also use. Set up next to a thousand year old banyan tree, it is a lovely point to break the journey for a cup of tea or more. Some of the road is absolutely world class, and you can race the wind on it.
Passed the cantonment town of Kamptee, and towns called Lakhnadoon and Seoni. Also visited the marble rocks at Bhedaghat while there. Sheer cliffs of marble, and a narrow stream of Narmada in which boating is available.
MP is a huge state, and many more things remain to be visited. Pachmadhi, Gwalior, Bhimbetka (where early man lived-real early!), Sanchi, Mandu, Khajuraho and so on.
Meantime, placements have happened at a fast clip and we (IMT) got a lot of our students jobs in the last week. That should bring a smile on to many faces.

'Job'alpur you say?
Here stateside, the country is obsessed with 2 kinds of jobs (one is a common noun and the other Proper - as in the guy behind the Apple).
Even with a perceived paucity of the common noun kind somehow the mass consumption society is scooping up the newest of the frootis - as in Apple products that Mr Jobs is dishing out.
Yes, the products have proved to have more juice than the competing ones. They are also keeping all the jobless Johns and Janes occupied using them.
From what I hear Janardan's and Jung's too are assisting in the global demand
that makes it a total Manmohan Desai potboiler...John, Jani, Janardan.
