Curry in a Hurry Takes Kanyakumari
Eight days of dodging drunk bus drivers, pot holes, goats, cows and crazed photojournalists and my team, Curry in a Hurry, has made it to the southern tip of India. It wasn't easy. In an upcoming entry I will try to give a full run down, but suffice it to say for now, we lived despite rolling the rickshaw off a mountain side in Covallum, blowing our dynamo in a tiger sanctuary on the border of Kerala, and having the breaks on my Enfield seize on while going 40 kph down a mountain road and nearly kissing the front fender of a bus.
Despite, or rather because of, the danger, it was the single most memorable road trip of my life and I hope to do it again next year. I have to thank the quick reflexes and stamina of my team Curry in a Hurry and give a hearty thanks to Sanjay Sinha, Cambel Berk, Eric Hamm and my wife Padma Govindan.Enjoy the photos.
Team Curry in a Hurry
We couldn't fix our windshield, so we had to get rid of it.
Ordinary road hazzards can sometimes mean mutton biryani for dinner.

travelling to moon must be sounding like a stark challenge after this :)
>>it was the single most memorable road trip of my life<<
I bet it was...will look forward for that "upcoming entry"
Looks like you had some fun... keep posting!
Well done and congratulations.
I don´t mind about you risking your life but risking other users of the road lifes is punishable. Why don´t you go back to your own country , do the same and face heavy fines?

That's a great idea. Lets deport every stupid--life endangering--driver in india to some other place. I nominate every bus driver in the country, and three quarters of all truck-wallas. While we're at it lets also get rid of every driver who thinks road rules mean playing chicken with oncoming traffic.
