BANGALORE - COORG -Among the Top 10 Roadtrips one can do in India Coorg, the land of the Kodavas, the Scotland of India was eluding us for a really long time. So, this August we decided not to let it defy us again. That's how we planned to drive up to Coorg over the long Independence day weekend. There are two major routes to get to Coorg from Bangalore - via Mysore Road or via CR Patna. We took the latter to avoid traffic on Mysore road, owing to the long weekend. Now driving to Coorg is rejuvenating as well as challenging! Rejuvenating because of the long peaceful highway drive, the fresh air and wonderful wet and windy section of road leading all the way up to Kodagu. Challenging due to the countless idiots on the streets, who call themselves drivers. So please be safe and drive car...

Bar Scene Part One
There's no water and I'm sitting in a bar by myself
And the lights are reflecting off those silver jangly pieces
The fat man's dog keeps biting at my heels
Now I'm through with standing, let the fat man lay me down
Chorus
From across the carpet crawls a tutu, with a drinks tray
With a white piece of paper, a message from a dead friend
The words I could not decipher
But the meaning was hard to misunderstand
Then with her lips to my ear, she told me what he had said...
Chorus
You take it away, you take it away
Sometimes things just move that way
You take it away, you take it away
Sometimes things just move that way
Sometimes things just move that way
