Anchetty II
Anchetty, a signature ride of Bangalore Randonneurs was created by IISc Randonneurs as a 200KM brevet in 2013. That is when I fell in love with the place.
“Oh Anchetty, thou art a beauty.
Oh Anchetty, thy place is serenity.”

Ordinary
Being ordinary is a blessing, I realised after an intense experience. Penned as a crisp 28-word brevity poem “Ordinary”.
