We’re off back home

A YIndian, Yorkshire by birth and Indian by marriage. Originally from the UK, I've now lived in Mysore, South India for over ten years with my beautiful wife Manjula. MeandMycycle is about the ups, downs and ups of our life in Mysore and our creations: Mysore Bed and Breakfast and MyCycle Tours.
A fitting end to
a wonderful few days
It’s raining and pouring, thunder and lightening, most have left — the remaining fragment of Kaveri, Sowbaghya, Rhadika, SB Naveen Ks, Stephen and Lucie — are here for one more night.
A fond farewell
Sadly one person was missing
But we all reminisced and felt her hug and presence in our hearts
Food glorious food
and lots of it.
Travelling with my extended Indian family is like visiting my London family of Poppy, Alice and Ben ….. with lots and lots of eating. 🙂
Finding our space
The holiday was a thank you from MAnjula and I
It was a real joy spending time with good friends who are all so interesting and different.
We’re at Chera Rocks in Kannur
Wave after wave
The famous five have expanded and are in Kerala.
Three separate vehicles travelled from in and around Mysore to Kannur
Our roles began to evolve within the first few hours.
Shafi drove our group.
We’re at Chera Rocks, a great venue so let’s discover the sea.
Mycycle Tour
It’s been very quiet for the past two years factoid we’ve been closed but we’ve been fortunate to have a few friends to stay and occasional tours of Srirangaptnam.

Kaveri and Rhadika
On an action filled day.
Went rounding with Stephen uncle, for a drive around the base of Chamundi Hill, playing in the park (for one of them anyway) , a stop for pani puri
before the grand finale (which wasn’t) ginormous Ice creams.
The ice creams were too much for the girls and they couldn’t finish. Each cost almost a daily wage.
Wrong impression.
At her grandmother’s place Kaveri showed me her school work.
She has exams over the next two days and her English is improving.
I really enjoyed my time with Kaveri and Rhadika
Eleven plus an Englishman and a dog go mad in Kerala
On MAnjula’s death anniversary, we came up with a great idea to celebrate her— even more — by going on holiday to one of her favourite places.
Kannur is where Manjula and I first went on holiday together after our engagement in 2015.
It’ll be a great adventure with MAnjula giggling from the antics of the loosely formed team.
It’s a challenge, anywhere, to bring together fragments of four families with two additions of an Englishman and his dog but this is India. It’ll be OK.
It’s a great way to thank Sowbaghya, Tanuja and Satish for the help they’ve been in so many ways, including setting up the new business.
It’s also an opportunity to spend fun time with Kaveri and her young auntie Rhadika.
We’ve got the go ahead from Kaveri’s mum, Satish has worked it out with the school and Jo will definitely have completed her term.
So we’re good to go…
Wonderful
So which amazing place is going to host this motley crew?
