Forays Down South

 Like the Maratha rulers did, we went to a Southern foray, covering Bangalore, Coimbatore and Calicut, in April 2026, to celebrate my retirement..

Did meet a few friends, and stayed with a couple. Mostly by train, except one bus journey from Coimbatore to Palakkad, in a non-AC bus. The Vande Bharat from Bangalore Cant to Coimbatore is very convenient. I used to do this by bus earlier.

Some books I read at Ravi's place, Calicut

He's a biker too..
