Death roads are taking a toll with craters and potholes, even as unruly traffic and manic drivers increase the accident count. Floods are destroying property and sinking lives, falling posts and trees are adding to the death count. And much of this beauty lies not too far away from the bustling, spewing, fuming metropolises. For such city-bonded creatures, there’s the next best thing: a weekend home away from the man-made, swelling, concrete-infested colonies, we call cities. There are many nooks and corners, tucked away not too far from the sprawling metropolises, that offer such an opportunity.
