Pillala Marri

When I was a kid I liked the comic strip called " Mantrala marri chettu". I used think if such a tree with magical powers can be real or not. I could not find the magic tree but I found the tree which satisfies physical description mentioned in the comics.
 
I went on this trip in 2010, so, forgot most of the details except that I have touched 110KMPH for the first time and gave lift to one old guy and two school kids. The road is beautiful and wide. The highway was newly constructed by GMR. With many designed bus stands and truck lay by , the highway is convenient for long drivers.

The destination is about 100KM from Hyderabad. The route from mahaboobnagar to pillala marri is a real beauty. I wished I was a pillion rider to enjoy the surroundings more. The famous pillalamarri is a large banyan tree occupying four acres of land. The tree has so many branches ,its impossible to locate the main trunk.







That's all I could remember about the trip. The significance of this trip is, its my first birthday-special-drive. Since then, I have started to go on a drive on every birthday.
