Travel Journey of Divya n Raj

The alarm clock was shrieking at its full strength(although we kept 4-5 alarms), but all I (also includes Raj) was doing to snooze it. It was the first long trip solely on new Avenger for Chikmaglur(and nearby) and this was thrilling us.Anyways we started off for our journey at 6:00 a.m. from our home towards Nice junction(paying tolls) to Tumkur road .The ride felt awesome with cool breeze and hustle free traffic(who doesn’t hate Bangalore traffic).Soon the sun was awakening from our right (after long time we witnessed the sunrise, thanks to Bangalore lifestyle).
