Trip to Goa from Mangalore 6 Days.

Well, Goa is one of my favorite travel destinations. I have been to Goa 4 times already but I am still ready to pack stuff whenever the opportunity calls! This time me and my cousin(my childhood buddy) joined together to explore Goa for the second time together! We both together had visited Goa about 15 years ago when he had just got married. Things were different then, we were young and had no strings attached. We had less money and  a Maruti Omni. So it was very exciting for us to revisit the history again with more loved ones together. We decided to drive in two cars, me on my Swift and him on his Duster. Date of journey was from 15th Oct- 20 Oct 2013 Accommodation : We booked a service apartment at Benaulim beach called 'Florida Garden's. This was a two bedroom apartment with amenities such as washing machine, microwave, TV and hot-water. Both the bedrooms with AC and even the living room was AC attached. Kitchen was fully furnished with almost all kinds of vessels a
Why I fell in love with my assistant!  You heard it right! Who wouldn't love an always available, prompt, intelligent, punctual and well organised assistant by your side unconditionally? Well, this Android assistant is just one of a kind, perfect for the job atleast for me! Known as Google Assistant, is one of the so called "digital assistant" available for mobile devices in this case for Google's Android Phones. I was skeptical and reluctant to use it at the begining as I always felt these features are more of a gimmick than the useful thing for general public. But this time I was wrong. It is in fact a very intuitive, context based and as and when required information being pushed by the assistant as opposed to "pull" architecture which was tried on google now and other earlier iterations of assistants. It really makes most of my work and personal data management on the tip of my fingers... ooops!! ...I meant to say ...on tip of my tongue really 😀

Destination: Orange County Coorg

I love travelling, specifically I am a historic place traveler, I like exploring and places where lot of physical activity type of travel is involved, because most of the places are buried in the ruins and you need to explore. But this time I choose a different menu, I did choose a place which is famous for relaxation. I had been hearing lot of stuff and hype about people visiting ‘Orange County’. So finally packed our stuff. Journey: Basically this trip was for my family of 4. Since I am from Mangalore, it’s about driving distance (about 170kms).  Started from Mangalore at about 8:00 AM; since the HW 88 is now better than before was able to reach small town ‘Sullia’ at about 10:30. Had our break and light food and started out to Madikeri(Coorg). Next step is crossing the western ghat(region called ‘Sampage’). Couple of years back these roads were really bad and I had a bad feeling. Initial leg till we reached ‘Kodagu district border’ was not so good. But once I entered Kodagu
