Prep for the journey ahead

After my one-day whirlwind trip of the six Narasimha Kshetrams (will blog on this sometime) I decided to explore India and our spiritual heritage especially the divya desams. I plan to do it entirely by Rail or road and avoid the comfort of air travel. To start with I picked up the roadmaps of Tamilnadu, Kerala, Andhra and Karnataka from the Landmark bookstore at Spencers Plaza. My other arsenal include a Sony Cybershot DSC-P72, An Olympus Binoculours (to enjoy the view during long drives) and an Apple iPOD 80GB Video.
