Chapparrs in Wayanad
Chapparrs Who??
Well, This is a group of friends from Vijaya High School 1996-99 batch which means we know each other for more than ten years now!! Wow!! :-D
That indeed is a long time!! And thro these years, each one of us would have stories to tell - true ones as well as nicely made-up ones!! ;-) This is the story of our trip to Wayanad in mid-July 2006 ........ a photo capture!
P.S. - Membership is by invitation only and we stopped printing the invites quite some time ago! ;-)
Why Wayanad?
With DC and Nidhi waiting to just fly out of India for their MS, this was perhaps the last chance to get a full chapparrs trip going. And in typical unmatchable style, we exchanged hundreds of emails and finally decided that we are not going anyplace coz its either too boring or its raining or some of us have already been there!!
And then, one message changed it all. It read - "Guys, I have the solution to our problems. It is an umbrella. The solution might sound trivial, but so is the problem!!" with the typical heart wrenching stuff about how this might be the last time we are all together.
Enuf of crap ..... lets move on
These trips have just tooo many stuff happening to be able to document it single handed. So, I'll just make the rest of it a photo-blog!!
