		<description><![CDATA[The day began well. Blue sky over the Blue Hills (Nilgiris, as they are known). It was hard driving up the 36 hairpin turns from Masinagudi to Ooty (Udaghamandlam to some). The railway station at Ooty was crowded with tourists wanting to ride on the fabled &#8220;toy&#8221; train between Ooty and Coonoor. The queue snaked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bengaluru,
My, my, how you have changed! I remember you, young, green, fresh. You had an innocence in your simple ways. I remember your salubrious weather, your unclogged streets, your tall trees and green parks. Quaint alleyways, clean streets, shop-owners who went home at mid-day for siesta. The simple pleasures of life were there for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hanalei grows on you. A quaint, small town along the north shore of Kauai, it feels like the real Hawaii that Honolulu, in a strange but certain way, does not. Hanalei is a surf and beach town, with it&#8217;s share of sun-bronzed bodies, matted hairs, surfboards; gentle rolling waves near the shore, and humongous ones [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have seen a bit of the world as it used to be many thousands of years back. It&#8217;s called the Napali Coast, and it&#8217;s in Kauai. Its about twenty miles of coastline that stands some three thousand feet tall at places, much of it untouched by humans. Jagged peaks stand as sentinels over a [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a dusty street with taverns and bordellos and banks on either side, and from what you see, its all of one block long. It&#8217;s the middle of the [...]]]></description>

Waimea Canyon is some 10 miles long, and up to 3000 feet deep, and is one of the most recognizable landmarks of western Kauai, next only to Napali Coastline. Its not quite in the same scale as the Grand Canyon, but is worth a look. The [...]]]></description>

The rains have been around for a long long time, and there was no sign of letting up. We just had to get away. As we crossed the Santa Cruz mountains, the rain disappeared, but the dreariness [...]]]></description>

The faces say it all.
You don&#8217;t need to say much when the faces breathe life, and the story of their lives. What always amaze me in India is the inner happiness that spills out from even poor people. Look at the face of the Auto-rickshaw driver, who possibly gets by with an equivalent of a [...]]]></description>

They said not to do it!
They said to take the Hana Highway (State Highway 360) all the way to Kipahulu, past Hana, and then drive back the same long winding way, even if the curvy road makes you sick.
The guidebooks cautioned against driving on the Piilani Highway, despite it being the most obvious, shorter and [...]]]></description>
