Refreshing zoo....

well ... its all about my first outing in bangalore...

Last sunday i went to bennargatta national park...

the prejudice in my mind was.... big century... reach wild life...
I will go in a jeep and will enjoy the safari....

when we started it was quite a sunny day...
but as we approached the park... nearly before 10 kilometers it started raining....

moreover the bus was not going to drop us till the park... it dropped us before two kilometers...
somehow we managed to move in shopping center nearby....
There we ate the meal we bought from home....

we thought to go back... but then again rain got slower.... but was not stopped...
i alone was having a jacket and bag... so they all dropped their cell phones and money in my bag...
and while i was wearing my jacket and packing the bag... they went away...

I wondered for about 15 minutes to search them and missed one bus to reach the park... thinking that no one can contact each other as i was having all the cell phones...

suddenly i felt vibration from bag... it took around 10 minutes to find that which cell got the call exactly....

but till that time i missed the call.... and beauty was that they never called back...
then i gave a ring back to the caller...
God bless the owner... he said i m talking from park.. your friends are reached here and waiting for you...

I took a cab and reached at the park... this time also it was raining heavily...

rest of the things were fine... and normal zoo... (rain was stopped when i reached at park.....)
but the journey was quite refreshing....

and i enjoyed it a lot.... :-)...

Safari trip was not up to the expectations.... actually they built some what bigger cages... and took us through them in a big bus!!!!

TOUR DE ABU.... part 8...

when we reached at hotel room...
the beer party was going on...

Sandip and bhargav have not completed their 500ml tins ...
RT was done with his part.. and ladani was agreed to complete the remaining tins... total 1 liter...!!!
Why people go beyond their limits??
like sandip and bhargav didnt completed their dose...
and at the last part of party ladani took biscuits as munching!!!

then we thought to have some masti with modi ... when he went outside to search for driver..
we made the plan...
when he entered the room... ladani called him and got angry on him and asked him to have a sip of beer...
we were enjoying the scene.... for a moment i thought that he is truly drunk or what??
but it ended soon with the apologizing scene and all set...

we went for dinner ...
Our driver came after having a shot of neat wine or whisky and not walking properly...
ladani asked him that if he can drive..?? otherwise we will go on our own...
and you know the drunken people they were fighting verbally...
Fortunately.. sandy was between them and handled both of them well....
we went to sankalp and ate nice south Indian dinner....

now the Sandy was fully loaded with the deadly combination of ..
non vge lunch... 250 ml of beer and finally south indian dinner...
and the most important thing was that he had done competition with jalli at nonveg lunch....
we got the news next morning... that sandip had done vomits at night from 2:30 to 4 oclock...
and we thought that probably we can enjoy today...
jalli went to arouse sandy ....
and sandy replied that .... dont disturb me otherwise... *****!#@!$!#$!#$
and jalli came back to the other room....

still the phota no kido was working fine and ....
Jalli , bhargav and ladani went out for another photo session...
we got ready mean while and they came back....
that was the time i got the most amazing picture .... RT doing pee in washbasin!!!!!!

then Modi , RT and i went for our photo session and finally all of us got ready and went for GURU SHIKHAR....

That was the perfect time to visit guru shikhar..
lots of clouds were there on shikhar ... and felt like we were in heaven....
after having breakfast of about 300 Rs... we climbed to shikhar...
then we started tracking and climbed down from the other side which was more thrilling ...
the most amazing adventure of my life till now...
after many arguments and lots of gada gadi ... modi agrred and came with us...

we went for lunch and came back to panch pada lake...
we done some shopping there.... one uncle show us some magic tricks and we bought some of them...
and then after we returned... home ....

the most wonderful days of my life ended there...

THE AFTER SHOCKS....!!!!

Sandip entered in the bay and turned to sheth...
and i joined them....
Sheth told us that he will not come for picnic as he was going bombay...
we knew that its a total fake...
so sandy told him that check your cell phone.... which network its using right now??
what you think ?? why we took the laptop at ABU??
we were watching your status through Laptop... and we found that you have not gone outside gujarat... during those days...!!
Sheth agreed like an Innocent guy and said that ya but i completed my work at my home town...
and we started laughing ....
and during lunch all were laughing by hearing this....
but on the counter part... he got agreed that he will come to next trip for sure...
so now we are planning for the next trip....

Up till that ....
I am really gonna miss this days...
I am gonna miss my ABU Trip days...!!!!

TOUR DE Mt. ABU..... Part 6.....

Hello guys... I am back with part 6...

So .. we headed towards the sunset point after coming down from TOD ROCK...
As we all are IT people and passing number of days in front of a computer....
Walking a kilometer is also a heavy exercise for us...
So the climbing to Tod rock and back was the enough exercise for us...

But kathakar wanted to go at sunset point through the mountain road... by tracking...
so we all agreed with half heart...
i dont know modi looked at what ( whom?? ) he began running....
Sandy ... Bhargav also started running after him.....
and ladani was asking about the exact way to sunset point to one elder lady... (granny actually....)
I doubt now if she knows about such track or not....
And ladani called us back and told that .... the way on which we are going is for honeymoon point and we have to go at sunset point....
I tried calling to modi but they were already much far on their way ... so they kept going and we chose to go by another way....

The very first sign on that way was....
Beware of wild animals... never stay alone and dont stay up till late night....
The sign scared us right from the beginning....
but we kept going.... on the way....
almost after 20 minutes... we reached to one rock ... which was quite flat... and we took some pictures there....
i picked some snaps like ladani and jalli are having sun in their hand..... great photo....
and i told ladani that take one photo of mine... as i am holding the sun......
and what a photo he took.....
the sun is not in my hand but it is on the right side from my hand....
great work... I done a mistake by not looking at the photo that time....

now the path was downwards and we were not climbing anymore....
after some time i asked ladani that are we on the right way or missed some thing???
and ladani with a great courage told us that ... yes we are on the right track and road goes downward for a while...
but now the sun was about to set.... we were not having torch with us... no network coverage.... road was still downwards and from that side of mountain we could not see any light in Vally....
so at last ladani told that now i also scared and we can go back....
RT and jalli walked much faster then me and ladani.... on the way back to Abu....

by god's grass we came back to city without any difficulty.... but it was very scary experience.... after that we all gathered at nakhi lake...

next post is about...
jalli's adventure and sandy's nightmare.....

TOUR DE Mt. ABU... Part 3...!!!

After all those vomits and broken hands...
we got back in car with a little shuffling of sitting arrangements...

Now we were looking for a medical shop so we can save jalli and our trip as well....

After some time we got one such shop and done some bandages with jalli's hand ...
some more medicines and masti on the road...
and again headed for the Abu....

every one was hungry now..
we saw one hotel on the highway...
and asked RT about that hotel... As it was his hometown....

RT told us that its too much expensive and one nice hotel will come on the way...
so we decided to go to that hotel named hotel SAVERA.....

We have also decided that we will go to BALARAM ... which is just 5 km across the high way and a beautiful place..... (suggestion of RT again.....)

after half an hour.... I just looked back and shouted at RT....
WHERE IS THE HOTEL YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT???
I was really hungry that time and others too....

And the very clam answer from RT was.....
"It passed before 15 minutes...."

I again shouted that WHY DIDNT YOU TOLD ME THAT TIME???

after gathering the peace from whole universe he replied that ...
as you didnt stopped there ... i thought that you dont want to eat now.....

Oh my god....
how one can think that way....
some of us who can reach him easily were about to bit him....
but as it was the beginning .... we didnt want any chaos ... few of us just cursed him .... headed for BALARAM.... (RT's choice....)

He gave us some relief by saying that we can have some food at balaram....

And we reached BALARAM....

Nice and small beautiful village...
A small river side (with no water inside..) , a small temple at the river bank ... a big tree ( i dont know which tree it was...) one chai ki dukan .... That's all.....

Seems beautiful at first look....
then we came across with some strange characters there....
One three legged dog... ( barking continuously at us...)
one dog with one eye .... ( it was a looser one...)
one small boy selling chana to the tourists... ( with lots of onion , kachchi keri and salt.... chana were very less in that dish...)

The most horrible tea in my life i tested there.....
Then also ... as we were there together .... we done lots of masti out there....
There was no water in river ... then also we found on sign saying.... Dont swim....
the batter sign should be... Dont play in river.....!!!

we managed with some packed food (wafers and biscuits...)
and again headed for Abu....

enough for today....
as tomorrow is a holiday....
I will post for chatpati post.... of day 1 at Abu.....

TOUR DE Mt. ABU.... Part 2....

Yes ... finally the day arrived....
All the group members arrived at my room that night .... with all their back packs....
Next day at 4 am we were leaving for the Abu...

But the tragedy struck again...
One of my room mate lost his favourite iPod that evening....

but in the over dose of the excitement of the trip of next day... we just ignored him....

All the masti was going on at room and we were doing hand wrestling with the kathakar....
we all lost the matches again him ... as he was having his dose of Spinach with him.... ( lots fo bundles...)

He was committed that he will not let anybody to sleep that night ....
but one of my room mate is studying and had to go collage next day....
so he just threw some words out of his mouth and all fell a sleep......

the macho man (bhargav) came late around 1 o'clock from a movie ....

i woke up at 3 o'clock and found that katha kar is already woke up and all others are sleeping in very odd positions.....

i went to have a bath after brush... and ladani went on his favourite job.....
he woke up all the guys....

when i came out of bathroom....
water tank was almost empty... ( not a new thing... almost happens every day....)
people wanted to use the rest room so badly.....
and i was having fun to see them making those odd postures.....

sandy and modi went down as the taxi was about to come...
all the guys was ready at 4 am but taxi arrived at 4:30 as per the IST....

We reached vastrapur... at about 5 am and had some snacks with tea....
and again started for the long journey....
we left Ahmedabad at about 5:30....

we started watching movie TERMINATOR 3 in hindi.... (YES..... car was having LCD !!!!!)
it was very bad movies... and the cd was having scratches on it....
I dont remember which part of movie we have seen properly....

About at 7:30... car stopped suddenly... and i wokeup with the thud of break....
i got scared that what happend actually...
and when i was able to see properly....
I saw that sandy was.....................................................................................................

Vomiting....
I thinked that if he got this kind of vomit at highway... then he will have several on the curved roads of Abu for sure....
and when i looked back all the other were doing pee at the road side.....
definatly the khali was there as usual ....
but when he was maneuvering his massive body towards the pee sight....
he slipped there and hurt his hand.....

So in that way we had a vary odd start for our trip but what happened after that is the most wounder full days of our life .....

so get ready for the next part....
as i have to do some work as well......
