All,
Ok... ok... This is not the Transaction Log of SQL Server which Sumanth was talking about the other day in the SQL Server Training.
This is another type of log, a Travel log which all of us are interested in reading again and again after the wonderful (Can I call so?????????) trip (And not Trek for a change from the 16$Trekkers)J.
As always thanks to all of you in making the trip a successful one.
And the usual the Special thanks awards should go to our New Comers.... ManuG, Vijay, Rosh, Ankit (Gyan's Brother... at least by the resemblance), Raghu, Sriti and Neha (The Cute Girl as pointed by SalmaJ).
And here are some of the moments which still exist untouched in my memory.... (By the way I have a very Bad memory.....)
After lying low for more than 5 months we became active with a Trip being organized to Coorg District...
An Extra Special Thanks to Salma and her father for taking a lot of trouble in trying to arrange the
- Getting the newcomers accustomed to the 16$ Environment...
- Praseed KK's last minute dash to the Trip (As usual .... But the difference this time was that he had almost pulled out from the trip and came in at the last minute...)
- Finally at
- The DJs for the trip was initially taken care by Manu, Su (Our Sumantha Vasu for the new comers......) and Rohit D and should I mention about the Songs being played by them?????????????
- Manu's desperation for a good dinner and the Driver stopping the vehicle at a perfect spot where there was only Banana's and Chips available... L
- Sleepy start for the trip where most of them were snoring.... And by the way Gyan has the ultimate knack of sleeping when put in any part of the vehicle....
- (Want any proofs????????? Check the snaps shared)
- How can I forget the Super Police of Karnataka Dept. taking 20/- for coming in a Road which has been blocked from one side and open from the other side.. (Want to know the reason??? There are a lot of Dacoits in that roadJ).
- Stops at each road junctions in search of the Kabini Reservoir ....
- Finally the dawn of Saturday morning near Kabini...
- Search of Madevappa, Ishwarappa and all sorts of Appa's for getting a Room available for the morning needs...
- And the satisfaction when Madevappa agreed for a single room to be given fro a timings of one hour.
- The early morning Queue..... (Shld I mention the reason for it .. Nah ... Nah..)
- Bangaluru style of taking bath by Deepak, KK, Manu and all others and the Surprising look in the Kids of HDKote.
- So the calculation continued for 60 minutes.... 20 people and 3 minutes per head..... Which was duly agreed upon by the Female troops...? (And maan they were very very much on time) and only Sumanth, Raghu and Myself got the time to take bath in the IB guest house....
- Gyan's swim and the sudden climb to the shore after he got a feeling as if something had touched his feet (And later he realized that there are Croc's in the Reservoir... J)
- How can we forget the Awesome look of the Kabini Dam and the subsequent climb to the Dam and the beautiful scene from there.
- Morning Break Fast which included from Bread Jam,
- Started the tour back to the much awaited suspenseful drive back to Nagarahole forest....
- And so here starts the DC which kept us company in the Tempo till we reached B'lore (DC... Dumb Charades)
- Finally we reached the entrance of the
- That was followed by the happy news that Governor is leaving to
- This trip in the forest with all enthusiastic eyes and heads including mine popping out of the window to get some glimpse of the Elephants, Bison's and Deer's....
- Ok ok no gifts for guessing ...... and we could see Elephants, Bison's, Tigers, Lions etc etc......... (and that was all in the dreams J) but we managed to see herds of Deer's locking around in the forest..
- And finally we reached the Nagarahole Forest Office was located with a lot of Hope...
- All hell broke loose when we saw the lots of Police Vehicles ...and the frustrating part of it was the Police wasn't allowing us to stop also in the forest...
- And so here went the Safari as a Dream (Not) Come True..... and finally we reached Kutta for a brief Tea Stop.
- After tea raced forward for another hotel were we had our dinner.... (Pukka Mallu E-Style..... The Boiled Rice, Fish curry, Chicken Curry, Parota ...... and the list continues.....)
- After a photo session continued further ahead with the Tasty Lolly Pops... (By the way wherez the share of the Video Album being shooted by our Ace Director Suvasu?????????????)
- The painful look in the face of few after getting down the Van expecting a Drive on the Tempo Top which our Driver rejected L.
- And finally we reached the Iruppu falls ..... and what an amazing falls it was.......................
- After the n'joyment in the falls we started back to Madikeri.....
- Finally Landed up in Virajpet for a brief Coffee break and lots of Dosa's..........
- But it turned out to be that we had to make our Night halt at the Lodge in V'pet.
- All things got settled down quickly in the rooms and then started the story of Talisma.. Ex- Talisman's and all stories .....till finally all got sleepy and that ends the second day for most of us... (Except for a few .... J)
- Steady Abhishek was so studies that he got up at
- In another room we could see that the planning was so perfectly done that Animesh and Deepak were sleeping on one bed and Su, Manu and Vijay on another bed and the poor Rohit was lying down on a Bed Sheet.
- Ask Vijay how was the sleep the previous night as he was grumbling *&^%$#@!@#$%^&**((#!!@#~!@~ ; since ManuG was sleeping next to him (Please don't misunderstand now....)
- As usual the Late Latif's KK and Yashwant got ready finally.
- Started to the Thala Kaveri... Bhagamandala after the morning Break Fast.
- And the un-forgetfull dialog of "
- On the way the story telling started with Yashwant, KK, Su and the Youngest and the Bestest being the centre of attraction...
- It started from Yashwant, KK, Su and xxx till it ended for the part 1.
- Started again one more story which was the Part 2 with Yash (Not Yash Chopra its our Yashwant Singh Chouhan), KK and xxx's kids and ended in the place where it had started in the first part.
- With all these stories we managed to reach Thala Kaveri and the Rain greeted us there but it was a beautiful climate to be over there.. Rain, Misty....
- The climb to the Brahmagiri Hills and the subsequent scene over there as nothing could be seen below since the whole place was covered with mist.
- Without much of a noise we managed to reach the
- With all the advices which Apna Gyan Bhai couldn't resist himself in getting the Bag to have a swim in the Abbey falls.
- But it turned out to be that there was a death in the Falls, the previous day Police was guarding the Bridge so that no one could enter the Falls.
- Finally after all the Photo and Chai Sessions we left Abbey to Madikeri for a lunch and the subsequent travel to our next destination to the Tibetian Monastry.
- Disaster was waiting for our Poor Driver since there was the RTO officer who took our drivers Vehicle Documents for no reason.
- So finished our lunch there and then had to wait for the RTO for giving the documents after the driver handed over 500/- to him and the reason Xtra members in the vehicle.
- And so we reached the final spot at Bylakuppa in Kushal Nagar where the structures were simply amazing..
- And so started the Dumb Charades for the next 5 hours continuously.
- And the struggle of myself, Sooraj and Su when getting a Hindi movie to enact was simply superb (Coz we didn't know the meaning of the word) but full marks to us since we were able to get the answer from our team by enacting...
- And the enacting skills of all have to be applauded... (The desperate look when one gets a name like The Spy Who XXXXXX Me, Basic Instinct was simply not to be explained but worth watching).
- Finally at
