The long journey..............

Back again after a long time post something i lowed..... Something unseen..... Unseen beauty.....:-)

I left to Blore along with mom n dad on 12th night in blore mail...to attend ma cousin raj's*** wedding.. recent times i've always been travelling in A/C coach and I fekt uneasy this time get into a normal one(i knw i act tooo muuch!) It was as usual boring...Coz nothing to c as am travellin night!Finally reached Blore around 5.30 a.m..... Hmmm...I can hear people around me conversing in kannada...(can u believe it??)oh i lowed to hear people converse in ma Mother Tongue:-)...Ma bava(sis's husband)came to station to take us to a new home of is....

It was too cold... I wished i had a sweater!Atlast new home came...Ma sis's called out frm the balcony.We went up n ore sister bondings!The house was Big and way way way better than the previous one.The new Home seems a Lil modern too.Ma neice was lyin in bed acting as though she was asleep waiting to do 'baaa' to me.And iam suppose to ask "taarika eli.... nindha maduthalaya?" and she would shout "bhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". Nice game ain't it?! Innocence is one thing i admire most in kids.She is just 4!

Morning i was killing time and hogging all the murku's n boonthis which ma sister made for us.I was diet freak and ended up breaking them all wheni went to blore. Evening we went to shopping(as usual...commercial street...hmmm ma favo place)....I picked up a bag in the corner street shop. And know wat this all i got in Blore. I can't believe it maself!First time in ma Life time I get only one thing in Blore!

Next morning we started to pack things for Shimoga,Where ma cousin's wedding is supposed to be! We started off....Have to say this...I guess only frst two platforms in blore are neat...others??So cheesy n untidy!We had to go to the 9th platform which was in a pathetic condition.I did'nt want to stand there!It was too crowded and people looked dirty!The sight made me say "aye.....chi" but then i had something interesting to look at and ofcourse that would be a smart guy...;-) He was wearing a Air Force India T-Shirt and it made think whether he worked in air Force! God Knows! But then he was too cute;-).... I thank God for dis timepass otherwise i would have freeked out seeing the dirty people!

After a safe journey(we travelled on 14th aug night!)... Shimoga welcomed me with pile of shit. Yes, as soon i got down from the train i stamped a pile of shit! "Shit", i said. Ma sis's were there to giggle. It started to rain!Ma day was bad!I washed da shit out of ma slipons n we went to catch an auto!

We went to a Hotel called MG Place!Where ma cousin booked a rooms for all our cousins! We went pretty early so that we can see many unseen beauties in North Karnataka.We refreshed our self and set of to see a couple of places!

We went in travera(have to mention this!)
The driver was pretty smart. We set ofF. The journey was amazing. The place is like it wil rain foe few minutes and sun would pop out and again rain.... and it keeps changing!It was awesome!I pestured ma dad to Stop in da middle to catch up some gud shots in ma cam.Unfortunatly i couldn stop everywhere. I thought then,"If only my eye was a camera". God the place is too beautiful.I fell like staying there!

Our first visit was too the Jog falls!AMAZING is not the word.. I would say it is a understatement!It was raining...Pretty irritaing though...Still we were off the car and saw The Indian Niagra!Man i lowed it!I took a couple of pics!The climate was as usual palying!rain-no rain-sun-rain!

Near the jog falls...rather opposite to it was a kutti falls.No one would even notice it!It was in the midst of some trees.We 'engo' reached there.Ma mom had some difficulty.We(moi,sis1,sis2 n bava). i wet ma legs holding the tree branch!If we slipped we would be at the foot of the Jog Falls!

We stayed there like for an hur or two and then set ack to our car to have lunch.We reached Honnawar.And we eat some light stuff.It wasen a lunch anymore!coz' it was 4!

Our next spot was to reach Murdeeswar. To see the temple! It was pretty close to Mangalore! The drive was through the western ghats.Awesome again...We stopped in the middle to see some valleys!Mr.Smarty was explaining to us!;-) I took some shots again!(ma main profession!)

Around 5 p.m. v reached Murdeeshwar. It's like down the hill!Near the coast! The temple is near the coat!The statue of shiva is huge and set apart from others! Awesome sight! And a way way huge temple is also being constructed next to it!i took some pics!(should i keep mentioning this?) We stayed there for some time and started off like 7p.m to kolur!But then it was to late to see the temple so we halted in Batkal. We struggled there to get a decent hotel to stay! Finally it was 'Kola'. Though the the hotel gave a nice look, the rooms did'nt seem though!But this was better of the lot!So we halted there and next day morning we got ready to see the kolur temple!

Around 8a.m we started to kolur!We had breakfast in a small town!The food was good.esp the set dosa!On our way to Kolur we also went to Maravante Beach- Arabian sea coast! It was a beautiful Sight to sea the river on one side and the beach on the other side!LOWELY!!:-) We spend there some time!Again i stamped on a pile of shit which was hidden(!) in sand!I washed in the sea water!...Then we has had to clim up to see Kolur!It was real beauty!kolur reminded me of Kerala!Most people in Kerala style!We went had some darishanam(meaning blessing) We also had lunch there!Awesome food! Around 2 we started to Shimoga.

On our way we saw cascades and took pics!As we were travelling we also saw the Nagra Fort. We reached Shimoga,went back to the Hotel and met all my relatives! I refreshed and we went to the mantapam to greet r mappila!(means groom!) He was really smart! dressed in formals! I enjoyed so much during the wedding. That would be ma next post!

Afer the Lowely wedding we went to Lion safari!Our final trip in Shimoga!I could see the lions, tigers moving around close to our bus! NIce to see but pretty dangerous! The same night we started from Shimoga to Blore!Next day we were back to Chennai! APPADA....... It's over! Not the trip but ma post!
