Duration: 14-18th Nov
Me and Gowda left to Mysore as I was invited as Chief guest for Inaugural of Tuxedo-07 @ SJCE, my college. Directly went to betta from mysore as Poo was missing Gow. After inaugurals, had lunch @ southern star, and went to Karanji lake as I had got a new D40 with 18/135 Nikkor lens. Went on boating. Night went to Greens for tea, and Grandpa's for OMR. Next day went to Kaveri Nisargadama with Gow, Poo and NitinRanga. It was a decent trip. Again sat @ Green for lunch+tea. Later went to Jungle daba with JackDaniels. Next day almost stayed at Nitin's place. Left to b'lore on 17th evening. While coming back, had an accident. Went back to mysore as PalguNa came to pick us up. I left to b'lore next day morning, but Gowda stayed back as he had pain.

shivana samudra and jog falls
Shivanasamudra :
On 15th August, 2 cars(alto, ikon), 9 ppl(avati, gowda, teju, ane, bhukamp, koLi, pinka, honnu, me). Just went to Gaganachukki, there was a big traffic jam to reach barachukki. so, came back.
JogFalls and more:
Left b'lore on 16th night, in two cars (alto and ikon), while going we were 8ppl (kris, avati, naga, pammu, gowda, vikki, ritu and me). This was special in some sense as this is the first time, our gang went with a girl. Thanks to ritu, who decided to join us, even though she didn't knew anyone there other than me.
On 17th morning we had breakfast in sagar and went to my native. We all rested for a while and after getting up, had bath, and lunch. after lunch left to JogFalls. My bro Shreedhar and cousin Anil joined us. For our disappointment there was not much water at Jog. But it was royal enough to enjoy. We all went down to the bottom. While coming back, we were the last one. Thanks to Ritu.
That day night, gowda went back to his native, with Vikki. Bhatta joined us after that (~10pm). After that we played poker till 2.30am, After that we spoke about lots of interesting things till 4am. Later slept. Next day it was noon when everyone got up.
Again on 18th, went to Jog in the evening, this time it was not the 'neeru' which was of interest, but 'neere' :p anyways, covered raja seat and went to british bunglow this time. Also saw the waterfalls, sleeping on the rock. It was a great feeling. While getting back home, spent some time watching lights on the dam from the top of the valley. In the night, after dinner went for a walk. It was awesome as ppl started telling stories one after another about ghosts etc. Ritu was scared to the core. After getting back home, lots of things happened. Gowda stole the show beating others hands down. It was totally fun.
Next day, we went on hill next to my place, watched linganamakki backwaters. There we had a session of dancing by raksha (my cousin) and gowda :) for videos contact me :p

bike completes 10000kms on road
I got it on August 26th, 2006. And its almost 9months now. I didn't ride it for 3months when I was in venezuela.
Overall, after getting him, it was a great company. Few highlights of the bike trip may be
* Numerous visits to Maddur/Mandya coffee day. (countless)
* Two trips to Mysore. (~700kms)
* Trip to Bluff (GaganaChukki/Barachukki) falls. (~340kms)
* Two visits to Native (350kms from b'lore). (~1400kms)
* Pune, Mahabaleswar trip. (2310kms)
* Kanyakumari trip.(1575kms)
This makes the long ride on the bike more than 65% of the time :) I rock :D
Other than riding part, sadly it had less than 2% of the time any female on its backseat. :|
