    Amusingveracity: U knw I have never even hrd of Koraput...or was it Korapur u were meaning to say.
    20hrs seem like a lifetime...so 2 full days out of ur holidays will will go for travelling itself;-o.

    Sindhu: Seems like travelling from 1 end of the world to the another, right and not to mention the time difference eh:-).

    Ramesh: Malaysia was called Malaya earlier right...coz my mum had a lot of uncles living there and even now she refers to it as Singapore-Malaya. And I have a lot of stamps[fr my mum] from Malaya to prove it:-D.

    Hitchwriter: LOL...6 hrs from whichever angle he looks at it huh;-D

    Swaram: Mysore....wow I love the place. So laid back & steeped in history:-).

    Snow: Thank U, come on join in...its fun. 28hrs...gosh feels like a lifetime for a poor traveller like me;-o
