Part 0: The storyline of a vacation

So I came back to Bangalore after seven days of travel, fun and photography. After landing in the airport at Dimapur, i paused and said to myself : Enjoy this moment, for all too soon you will be going back and struggling to remember what happened in the trip.

Somewhere in the middle of my vacation, i came up with random titles to capture the spirit of the each day that had gone by. And towards the end, i was telling myself that i needed to ensure that i put pen to paper (errr... in my case fingers to the keyboard) and get the words out so that i have some written documentation of what i captured during the trip...


And if this endeavor is successful, i will start doing these for all my trips, big or small. So that the next time someone recounts something that happened on "that trip two years ago", I will have a more intelligent answer than "Huh" or "did that happen?"


So here I am, sitting in my office, having (almost) caught up on seven days of emails. And i figured that now was as good a time as ever to start this series. So far, all i have is working titles for each subsequent post.

Day 1: Two flights, a road trip, time lapses and a purty woman milkin' her cow
Day 2: Spotted: A mallu actor at the hornbill festival a.k.a Hiawatha at the hornbill fest
Day 3: The case of the mistaken chief minister of Nagaland
Day 4: World class food at Numaligarh Dhaba
Day 5: Kids will be kids (no matter how much we wish otherwise) a.k.a. introduction to He-Man 9000
Day 6: Going around in circles looking for seven primates
Day 7: The one who snuck up from behind
Day 8: The 120 hour bandh that never was...

Of course the trip itself was awesome because of our hosts S&P (not the rating agency, though they definitely rate 5 stars!)
