sangam

Continuous 4th week going outside b'lore. This time, the planned destination was Sangam and Makedaatu. Planned to go there on bikes, but we couldn't arrange bikes, so finally decided to go on bus. Other people with me were, Pammu, Guru and Keppa (oh! sorry Manu). Major motivation for the trip was guru, as he got his new Nikon SLR camera.
This is one of the flop trip I had been to. We struggled as there were no direct buses to that place. Later after reaching Sangam, we came to know that going to Makedaatu is not possible as the river Arkavathi is flowing madly, it was full and fast. Bad thing is we couldn't get into water in Sangam also as the water was completely muddy, and was not safe to step in.
Came back to b'lore and slept as I had got headache by the time i reached b'lore.

Sringeri and Mangalore

i like to take decisions lately or say suddenly. the same thing happened three days back. i was in office till 8.30pm, and suddenly i thought i will goto sringeri. (actually the plan of going there was pending from many days in the mind) fine, i called up the aunt in sringeri (a near by village near sringeri) and told her i may come to their home. fine, after that left office at around 9pm and went home. my sister wanted to take a picture of her son and mail the photo to her sister-in-law who is in usa. i had to take the pictures, download it and send that. after that had dinner and told everyone that i will goto sringeri (it was around 10pm then). as usual they told ok. i packed up my luggage, went out of the home. it was raining like hell. no umbrella in our house. but i decided to stick to the decision. so, ran to near by bus stand (some 100-150mts) by then i was little wet. i asked those guys and they told bus to sringeri just left. i caught a auto and reached ksrtc bus stand. there also there were no direct buses to sringeri. i caught a bus to chickmagalur, and from there went to sringeri.
i liked this trip especially because i was alone most of the time. on saturday went and saw sringeri temple. on sunday morning left early from aunt's house and caught a bus to karkala and from there went to m'lore. after going there, met paddu and had lunch in their home only. later in evening went to beach. it was nice fun. after coming back, had icecream in pabba's. left m'lore around 10pm.
totally to summarise it was surely a nice trip. travelled more than 800kms in 2.5 days.
