Lazzzzzzzzzy for 2 Days!!

What would you prefer to do, if you are given 2-3 days and nothing much to do? Well there are so many options, you can roam around the city, you can watch some movies, go to your friends place & have some fun, or visit some places/trips etc. But what if you are too lazy to do any of these things? But at the same time you want to do something also. Its the same thing which happened to me and other 3 of my friends last weekend.

Due to Ugadi [a local festival], we got a long weekend. Nothing in particular to do, even if there was something, I hope you all know the feeling of being lazy, that satisfaction you get when you have something to do and you just sit idle, not doing anything, anything at all. But I wanted to do something, something adventurous and decided to go on for a trip, a road trip - in bikes - to Coorg. The main reason - you may have guessed - not for trekking, not for sightseeing, not even for riding that long [a small %], not for mere adventure but for being lazy. Just drive 250-300kms and get to the place, you stay there for 2 days without doing anything, not even bathing, just because you are lazy, is the peak point of craziness, I can tell. But we did that.

In the brief, we started on Friday evening, reached & stayed at Mysore [~150kms] that night, continued to Coorg [~110Kms] the next morning, found a stay and settled there by noon Saturday, and then we started 'practicing laziness'. Our stay was in a small house inside a coffee plantation around 45acers in area and there was a small veranda there. All I did till Monday morning till we left was mostly sitting there idle looking at the foliage infront of the house, enjoyed music for sometime, ate and drank and thats it. Didn’t go out to visit any places [except after a few couple of drinks that we felt like climbing a mountain], no trekking, no movies, not even bathing, since the water there was too cold, just sat there talking to each others and the most important point is that, we absolutely enjoyed laziness for 2 days. :)

This trip was one of its kinds, out of all the trips I have gone for. After coming back, I was soo much in to laziness, that I didn’t even wanted to walk from where I sit to get some drinking water. The only thing we did against the ‘laziness agenda’ was riding that 250kms, but that was really adventurous, a really good road and a bike that can reach 110km/s easily, and the next thing you know, you are flying. Ok, I am not talking much, here are the photos, most of them are self explanatory I guess.

Starting our trip.

Taking a break!

We even had to drive through a paddy field to find a place to stay.

This is our place of stay. You have to travel around half a kilometer through steep mud road which is very slippery, from the tarred road, which is around 10km away from the main road, to get there.

Thinking whether to take a bath or not?

Helping with the cooking.

Being Lazy!

Discussions on different varieties of laziness, after dinner.

Doing some expedition just around the house!

I found some Mushrooms.

I don’t know what this is, but its definitely photogenic.

Again eating! You can notice the amount of fish [river fish] we are eating.

After the rain!

Nature is really beautiful after rain

Wild Rose - First time seeing real wild rose.

Again having food.

Tried another angle in photography.

Departing time.

Unlike previous trip, there are no expeditions, or trekking, just plain laziness.

ps: I will upload all the full size photos to flickr soon. Here is the link - http://flickr.com/photos/thedragonflyzphotos/sets/72157604449006636/
