I will take up your suggestion as soon as I buy a car :) Probably I put it wrongly or somehow I could not convey what I wanted to. I shall give an example : My father asked "Have you driven in Agumbe ghat section?" What do you expect the answer to be ? He said "Kodaikanal ghat section is the best on earth. There is no ghat section like that" to which my father replied "Kodaikanal is kodaikanal. Answer to me "yes" or "no". Have you driven in <b>Agumbe ghat section</b> ? " To which the answer was "No". When you said, roads are bad, I believe you because you have seen both. That is the point I was trying to make. Yeah, thanks for understanding about hte songs part of it....Journey with good songs is a totally different experience :) Jatin,

I am amazed at the quality of roads even the district or sometimes village roads in the other states which are far better than the so called state highways in karnataka.However one exception to this , is mysore road which is in excellent condition. I suggest you drive yourself both inside the state and outside the state , you will realize that yourself. But the driver rejecting your songs was too highhanded.The driver required a stern talking from yourside.

My only observation was driver's disinterest , disregard and lack of knowledge of Karnataka and the way he looked down upon it. I absolutely do not hate Tamilnadu or Tamilians but lack of self-respect and condemnation on Karnataka/Kannada bothers me. I strongly believe in "liking a particular point should not be based on/ result in hating the opposite". Dont know if I am able to convey it properly, if not some other time. Really glad to know that you shared our feelings with regards to Annavru. And this time, there is already enough water in Cauvery that can be given to TN :grin: (but even then I guess there will be politically motivated fights). Anyways, thanks for sharing your views. Manoj,

In fact, what the driver says is really true. Tamilnadu boasts great roads between important cities and what is wrong with that ? When we Tamils have no indifferences against u people, why u people hate Tamilians, I am really amazed. On the death of your Annavaru, we also had our emotions running and when Veerappan released Annavaru, we had our own joy. Let us be friends forever mate, regardless of no Cauvery or Cauvery.
