Awesome Road trip and other adventures - Part 1

Hi all,

So finally after a months vacation, I am back in Pune resuming normal life. I am gonna pick up where I left in my last post.- the Road Trip to Kerala.

So we started one fine morning to Kerala from Pune. It was my first time traveling to Kerala by road. Accompanying us on the trip were some of my team mates and their family, Ashok and his wife Yogitha, Nirmal and his malayali wife Nimmy, Yogesh , Priti and Alex (our friend from New Jersey).

Saranya was pretty close the team as we had been out for lunch and dinner many times. They are also familiar with her passion for the traditional attires. Since most of them wear not from Kerala (except for Nimmy) , Saranaya was never shy to wear lungi blouse and thorthu in their presence. Once my team came over for  lunch and she was really comfortable in lungi blouse and thorth before them. Along with queries about the spicy fish curry , she happily entertained queries about her attire. Thanks to Chennai Express movie, now lungi is kinda famous and people seems to think that Lungi is a common dress among women too in south.

We had loads of fun , during the trip and ended up taking more than 3 days to reach Kerala. The highlight of the journey was our the stretch from Pune to Banglore. We started a day late as Alex (our US team member) decided to join us for the trip. So all others camped at our place in pune for the day until Alex who was in Delhi that time could sort out things and join us in Pune.
As usual, Saranya was in wearing lungi blouse and thorthu (since there were other men she preferred to keep her thorthu on all the time). Nirmal was curious why his wife, Nimmy, even though a malayali , never wore this attire at all and wanted her to try it out. She said it is a matter of preference and that she being bought up in a city never actually saw women wear lungi blouse other than in movies. She was open to try it out and borrowed one of Saranya's lungi to wear and spend the day wearing that lungi and a T shirt. Others also wanted to try out too and we ended up buying a couple of new lungis for them. I was incharge of helping the men wear lungi and Saranya helped the ladies. Nimmy and Priti managed to wear them properly but others including the men ended up using a belt to hold the lungi in place.

Next day , I went to pick up Alex from the airport and on returning I saw everybody except Nimmy and Saranya changed and ready. Later I came to know that Nirmal had dared Nimmy to wear lungi and blouse in public and Saranya had decided to support Nimmy by wearing Lungi blouse too.  Nimmy changed into a blouse she had brought and bought a thorthu to cover her bossom.
And we were off to Kerala with my beautiful wife and lovely Nimmy wearing lungi , blouse and thorthu.

It was interesting to see the reaction of the people when we got into restaurants or when we stopped by to take photos. This was some thing new for many people to see two women dressed in Lungi blouse and thorthu in public. Saranya was enjoying every moment of it. I had never seen her so much excited and happy.

We ended up taking so many photos; I never imagined I could have photos of her in lungi blouse in public places like road-side dhabas or at scenic locations. She was kinky enough to pose couple of photos for me shedding her thorthu when we found our selves alone. ;)  I love my wife and I am really one of the luckiest person in this planet.
