The Uncertainty of ETTA
2014年5月3日, インド ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
The next day we started by 7:30 AM from trichy after the breakfast. My son fell sick. The food he ate previous night or the breakfast or the way I was driving the car, upset his body and he was feeling very uncomfortable till dindigul. After that it became worse and he started vomiting and it continued till bodi slowing us down. At bodi, I got him a Lemon Soda and he is back to form. Wow, this Lemon Soda is such a rescue drink while travelling, which helped my wife and son many times during this Etta and this time it got my son and wife a smooth transition into the Excitement Part of the ETTAもっと詳しく

The Uncertainty of ETTA
2014年5月3日, インド ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C
My plan was to start at 4:00PM on April 29. As I do for all the long trips, On the day of our ETTA start, I did visit the FIAT RDC Service, Ambattur to get the car checked for all Fluids, alignment and balancing corrected, brakes checked etc. I visited the RDC at 10:45AM and was there till 12, just to hear the SA tell me he cannot get all these done by evening, and he can try his best to give the car by 6:30. It was not the usual SA I go for in RDC. If it was my usual SA who was on leave that day, I just need to tell him I am going to Munnar today for 5 days. He would take care of everything without me telling anything. But this SA was least bothered. So had to leave the RDC getting nothing done. Got the alignment and balancing checked outside, washed the car outside, small shopping and then reached home at 3:30PM. Immediately started loading the car and by 5:00PM we were ready to start. Oops !!!! I didn't check the fluids. Opened the bonnet and was shocked to see the Coolant was empty, dry. How could this happen ? Drove the car straight to RDC again with my wife, kid and luggages. The same SA came to me. I ignored him and went to another guy and told him the situation. The first thing he told me was "you should have come in the morning, I could have got the car ready for a long travel". The exact opposite what the other SA told me. Then he said, "don't worry sir, empty coolant box is a worst case, will get it checked. But if it the worst case you might not be travelling today." The car was put on the ramp, checked for any leak, then he emptied a full paraflu into the coolant container and again checked for any leaks. He assured me there is no problem, and this issue was a result of water pump change in the 60K service which requires a coolant topup after 5k. At 6PM the SA gave a go signal and we started from the RDC. What a coincidence, the HU was playing the song "Yenga Ooru vandi" from the movie Pannaiyarum Padminiyum exactly when I was coming out of the RDC gate just like the first 15 secs of this Video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br7ZIAilwwI. I pointed it out to my wife and she was relieved of all the tension.Uncertainty broken and Here starts the ETTA....もっと詳しく

The Etta
2014年5月3日, インド ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C
I am done with the Etta @ Munnar & here comes the Story. To say a little about Munnar, this place has become one of my favorite place to visit. This is the third time in my life I Am visiting Munnar, and 2nd time in the last 6 months. The reason being, it is green green and green everywhere. The Tea Plantation, grasslands, trees, and what not. This is a place where one don't have to go for the tourists spots to spend time, instead sit watching the tea plantation, grasslands, lakes, for hours even for days without getting bored or tired. The city life is blue most of the time, green in munnar is such a wonderful change to the eyes, mind and body. Ooty is green, Kodaikanal is green but why only munnar is so special to me. I don't know, whilst leaving Ooty I would be thinking I should visit kodaikanal next and whilst leaving kodai I think about visiting munnar next time. But whilst leaving munnar, I think about revisiting Munnar the next time and this happened for the 2nd time too. Last time it was 2 nights, this time 3 nights, but still some sort of lacking fulfillment runs in my mind when I leave munnar which makes me think about revisiting this place again. For sure I would be visiting munnar again if not for anything else but for the FUN and Adventure Part of this Etta Story. Part ? What Part? Yes this ETTA comprises of 6 parts, Uncertainty, Excitement, FUN, Misspend, Adventure and Yearning.もっと詳しく

ETTA : How to Name It ?
2014年5月3日, インド ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C
Being a Drive & Travel hungry person, I missed out documenting many of my travel stories and photographs. From now on I decided I'll write a Travelogue /Travel Stories, of tourist places, roads less traveled, one day trips and whatever I find interesting related to my travel. Also I thought I must name my travelogues / travel stories.

As some of you might be knowing I like to name things that are special to me and for those names I would try to find out a catchy Tamil (my mother tongue) word, here I would like to announce the name for the travel stories / travelogues. From now on I would refer to my travelogues / travel stories as 'ETTA'

What does ETTA means ?

Etta is an old colloquial Tamil word, still being used in some parts of Tamil Nadu which means AWAY. 'ET' is pronounced as in Eternal and 'TA' as in TAP. Not sure if Tamilians are familiar with the phrases like 'Etta Po' meaning go away, 'etta irundhu' meaning from a distance.

I have never been a writer, Not a grammar king, limited in Word Resource but the quote"Practice can make a Man Perfect" gave me the hope to start writing. Please tolerate with my writing style, I will improve with both the writing and Locations I travel.もっと詳しく
