A three-week trip around the Great River Ma Narmada in 2018 (Nov~Dec) in a Toyota Innova with Ashok Thakur and half a dozen friends who hopped on and off for various segments of the trip
Starting at Omkareshwar and keeping the River Ma on the right and never crossing it (though we came close to it a couple of times accidentally), with night halts at Barwani, Rajpipla, Ankleshwar, Damapura, a detour to Pavagadh Hills, Maheshwar, Nemawar (the midpoint of the River), Budni, Jabalpur, Amarkantak (the source), Kanha National Park, Hoshangabad, before reaching Omkareshwar
About 3,000 km around the River and another 3,000 km up and down from Bengaluru to Omkareshwar via Hyderabad (with Srini), with enough memories for a lifetime
Srinivas Shastri was born in Vizag in 1965, on the edge of Infinity, with Ramakrishna Beach separating his house on a promontory from the Bay of Bengal, the largest bay in the world
He studied Mechanical Engineering at Andhra University College of Engineering and majored in Systems and Finance at IIM, Ahmedabad in the mid~1980s
Work was a bit of a shock for him. Somehow he did about 19 years of that, before retiring in 2006 for good. The best experience was working on the Executive Search app for Maars India, where he gleaned many nuggets about the Net, such as asynchronous design
