Last Saturday I did the Roller Coaster 200km brevet. This is where my tryst with brevet started in the year 2011. Titled “Huliyadurga 200” then, the route was kinda similar to this where we circled in the opposite direction. And this is where I met Somaskanda S  first. Thank you Mohan Subramanyam for this lovely route and rekindling the lovely memories.

This route took me past Byalu where the giant dish antennas peer into deep space. Part of India’s deep space network these are the eyes and ears of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre into space. The creative side of me gushed, and out fell a few seeds, that later flowered into this poem “Deep dish”.
