It was on 21st February, the time was around 11 PM in the night, I was just came to room from party as it was Friday night. My phone battery was almost dead. I received a call from my college friend by name Satish, he asked me to share my location in what's app. I shared the location, Satish along with one more my college friend by name Shubham came to my flat (near Oxford College, Banglore) around 11.45 PM from Vijayanagar. Satish and Shubham started explaining about their plan of roadtrip to Pondicherry and I was not comfortable as it was too far from Banglore for a road trip. I told these 2 guys, let's first will go to Raghu's room (another friend from my college who is working in Electronic city phase 2) then will decide about destination.

Around 12:30 we reached Raghu's room, it was triple ride for us. In his room, we discussed about destination and we finalized to Ooty. Satish told will sleep for an hour or two, then will start our trip, i was not happy with this because I knew that if we sleep it'll be hard to get up after two hours of nap. I told all of them to sleep as I will be awake. I stared scrolling some Tiktok videos and don't know when I slept.

When I woke up, it was around 9 AM in the morning, I kicked Satish's ass saying it was your decision of sleeping for for an hour or tow. He told no problem will change the destination. Finally we decided to go to Yercaud, which is 20 kms from Salem in Tamilnadu.
So we started our trip of 4 people with 2 bikes around 10.30 AM on 22nd Feb, Saturday. It's about 215 KMS from Electronic City phase 2, we reached Yercaud around 2 PM with couple of tea breaks between.
It was a nice Hill-station covered with lots of visitors during weekend and some bikers were too with their super-bikes. We visited view point first and then we had food (bread omelette, egg Maggie and some paddu). After that we went to Lake as we wanted to do some boating and I inquired about fare and timings, the lady in the ticket counted replied all the slots are filled for the day, so I returned with a dull face, though we took some pics their.

Then we went to lady's seat, at first I thought it's only for ladies. We also visited Gent's seat to provide Gender equality (joking). Then visited to botonical garden to took some panaroma, time-lapse and slow motion videos of Satish's jumps. It was around 7 PM, they sky was getting darker and decided to head back to Banglore, while returning Purchased some home made chocolates.
Finally it was around 1.30 AM on Sunday we reached Electronic city after having dinner at Hotel Tamilnadu on our way back to Banglore.
