Was late for work today because I went to Koyambedu bus-stand to organize our tickets to Kerala. Oh yes.. There was a long weekend ahead, and a Kerala trip was definitely on the cards.

Trouble is, Koyambedu bus-stand is really not tourist-friendly. None of the signboards are in English. Mansukh had told me that there's no direct bus to Thekkady. Instead, you ask for Theni. The lady selling the tickets had no clue which bus, if any, goes to Theni. Luckily, at 8AM there's no crowd at the counter, and someone from the Time-keeper's room told me to book tickets to a place 40mins. from Kumily. Kumily in turn, is about 15mins. from Thekkady. The name of the place - 'Cumbum'. I'm naught trying to be notty here.

Cat, Isaac and myself confirmed the spelling on the ticket. The name was as harmless as Ben Stiller being 'Gaylord Fucker' in Meet the Parents. Boarded the bus at 2100hrs. The ride to C**b** was quite uncomfortable. The video coach initially had some recorded KTV song-dance sequence playing. They followed this up with some movie starring Ajith and Simran. I dozed off somewhere after Simran's Mommy Daddy got killed for some stupid reason; and Ajith was serving as a Cadet in the Army.. some scenes from the DSSC Parade Ground in Wellington.
