ShivanaSamudra-Talakadu
Trip time again!!!
But not whole of SRG again!!!
Mr, JPD(urf DJ) missed citing some personal reasons.
Our agenda :to visit shivanasamudra, Talakadu and somnathpura.
Reddy and Othla were successful(as usual) to cover this event with all possible hype, thanks to them for those cute SMSes.
We had booked a hitech Qualis(thanks to assid anna), it arrived at Mysore Circle at 7:45 due to some schedule slippage by Kaddi and Buss.
Not much I think, considering that our grup had 8. Except Assid and Nakli all were in the planned dress code(white T-Shirt and blue jeans)
We(our driver) decided to go via Kanapura despite we warning him that the road on that route was not good.We stopped at Kanakapura for breakfast and some shopping.
Our first major stop at ShivanaSamudra, water at the falls was bit less, but the view was good. The falls must be looking damn good when the water is full.
Spent some time there and started for Bharachukki falls abt 2 kms from Gaganachukki.Bharachukki falls was cool with lots of trees and a great view.
We reached the base of one of the falls for playing in the water, the force of the water was high, water sprinkling from the surrounding stones. Our guys(small kids shall I say?) were delighted to see the Rainbows.
We had a good lunch(chapattis-thanks to me and Puliyogore and curd rice-thanks to assid).We climbed back to our qualis and after some pegs of Tender coconut got into the oven-Our qualis again.
After some debate over the next place, it was decided to go to Somnathpur first, but we changed our plan on the way because of terrible roads and decided to go to Talakadu instead.
Talakadu is a nice place, the place is full of sand.The water in the river(don’t know the name :-D) was bit less.Me, Buss and Late played for some time in the water while others preferred to stick to Badminton and cricket.
The time was made memorable our recalling of some old memorable events from our engineering days.
We then decided to go to Temples in Talakadu, Pathaleshwara temple is about 10 ft below the ground level.
Some excavation was being carried out close to Pathaleshwara temple, the view of the excavation site during the sunset and with moon looking just out of bed was nice one.
The photo session on the sands was very funny.
Amolya programmed his cam to take 6 pics in a succession with 30 secs gap, we were running around giving different poses…..:-) :-).
After cursing the bad roads for another two hours we finally arrived on the fantastic mysore road.Stopped for “dinner in traditional style” at Kamath Upahara.
One more attraction of the night was the historic match between Aus and SA, we were listening to the Live! Commentary by Late’s friend.Qualis was full of shouts after the last boundary by Boucher.
Thus one more memorable day became history….But at SRG history repeats itself………..very fast…………….
Pics coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
