Random Variables

Ever since I read about this place called Hampi in my school history books it was an instant entrant in my must visit places. Being a big history buff Hampi got me excited each and every time I read something new about its lustrous historical background. So after two and a half years and with multiple failed attempt to plan a trip to Hampi, I along with my partner in crimes Akash and Sourav finally made a trip out to Hampi in the last week of week of January’17. Call it a curious case of my procrastinating mind I am yet to write about any of my past travelling experience be it the Ooty trip or a trek to Kumar Pravata but with this out I hope to come out with the rest soon.

Hampi is located on the banks over Tungabhadra around 385 km from Bangalore towards north of Karnataka. It was the capital to the glorious Vijaynagara Empire and was accounted as one of the richest city in the world at its peak. Now gone are the Empires and the riches and all that remains are the acres and acres of ruin singing an ode to the beautiful time it had.

After struggling to find the phone Akash was finally able to catch hold of it.

Akash(sleepy  tone): Hellooo…

Bhoomi: Hello Akash, It's Bhoomi here… Sorry to disturb you early on a Sunday morning.

Akash(now sitting on his bed ): No problem.. Good morning to you

Bhoomi: Good Morning…Vidya asked me to remind you that we have to go to office today as there are few new urgent requirements.
