Destination: Sangama

Date: 14th Nov.

Travel: A Pleasure

Accompany: Family on board

Now read on to know about this trip.

8:15 A:.M --> My mum and me waiting at our pick up point. For all our luck, it was raining that day and was super chill. Me as usalu packed like an Eskimo, mum as usual, dare to face the cold types. Our pick up was scheduled between 8:15 to 8:30 A:M. But little did i know that meant a long wait....

8:30 A:M --> Frantically I'm pacing in front of the petrol bunk... Damn, why hasn't this bus come???? I see no sign of it....

8:45 A:M --> My phone beeps with a message from my colleague that the bus hasn't started from office yet. Wow!!! Office is like an hour's journey from my pick point minus the traffic and peak hour jams.

9:00 A:M --> I sigh and sit on some stone. Shit man, don't they have anything called time sense... Or all their clocks frozen. Gosh, it's so darned cold...

9:15 A:M --> My cribbin knew no bounds. My mum has oodles of patience, I don't even have an iota of it and damn who the hell likes waiting.. Not even for my hubby would I wait I guess....(Or you never know...:)

9:30 A:M --> Still no sign. I pulled out a Kit - Kat and passed it on to my mum. Both of us were experiencing butterflies of different versions inside our tummies....

9:45 A:M --> Is the bus ever going to arrive?? My mum was also kind off getting irky by now... It was almost an hour and a half and still there was no sign....

10:00 A:M --> Finally after walking a few mts away, we boarded the bus....I mean it was awesome. The leg space was unbeleivable. I could stretch my legs without an obstacle.....It felt so good getting a bus for a long distance travel which I never do....

10:05 A:M --> My colleague had reserved our seats. I sat next to her and mum on the other side....Atlast we had started...

11:30 A:M --> There were African Elephants in all our tummies...Finally they stopped at this brilliant place which was a temple - cum - park. There was Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesh & Lord Hanuman. Huge structures of these God's were erected and it was brilliant. It was splendid a place. There was this rally cute stray duck next to me. It was so cute. Finallly, after my photo session (My new interest these days is Photography, so was honing my just acquired nascent skills......), I finished my breakfast which consisted of my FAV - UPMA and other not so interesting things.

1:00 P:M --> We finally reached our destination and got dwon form our buses.

1:05 P;M --> Here comes the ultimate touch.. We are supposed to cross the water and how are we doing it?? We have to sit in something called a "THEPPA"...Man, it was ht first n one of it'd kind experience for both my mum and I. We finally managed to get into the wobbly thing and sat. There was 3 more people along with us. The guy with his oar started rowing. It was such a mind blowing feeling. I think everyone should try this old age-modern adaptation technique, it feels over the top.

1:07 P:M --> The so called rotating tranformer brought us near the rocks, from there we had to wade in water. The water was till my knee level. We all took out our shoes and started walking in water. That is when it dawned on me that I have this mistaken notion that I walk fast. the actual test is I guess when you walk in water. I feel I'm walking but I'm still there itself...There I see my mum walkin as if its a paved road....

1:10 P:M --> I finally reached the shore types... From there we trekked a wee bit and reached a flat surface. We spread our mats there and arranged food... We started playing games....

3:00 P:M --> Smashing food was served. We were all ravenous. Had a great time eating.

4:00 P:M --> We had some official game.

4:15 P:M --> Headed back to water and played. Landed up collecting pretty shells.

5:15 P:M --> Back in the THEPPA.... It felt so good again....

6:00 P:M --> We boarded the bus ad took our respective seats. Started on our journey back..

9:00 P:M --> Alighted the bus and started home.

This was the most amazing official trip I had been too. The memories are worth a lifetime....

MIS - PASS

After a long time, here I come again... Seems ages since I blogged....At last I finally thought of something to be posting out here...

Sunday, I had some work so ventured out to Indiranagar. Usually the public tranports are pretty empty unlike weekdays. You can actually manage to sit too...

I left home as I was running a little late, got into a bus. The bus was empty, so found a seat to sit. Had an unfinished book in hand so started. I got down one stop before my stop and started walking. After a few seconds I realised I was a stop behind mine. Walked up the distance to were I was actually supposed to board the next bus. I waited a while before I could get my next bus.

I hopped into my next bus, which was way too empty by tis regular weekdays standards. I sat in the seat and I saw a conductor standing there so I said Pass.... But that guy just nodded his head as if he could care less... I was taken aback a wee bit, neverthless I continued reading my book....After a few seconds, I see another conductor asking me... I was so zapped that I had happily told somebody else when the actual conductor was asking now....

I couldn't help but laugh.......

OUT OF SIGHT

It's been a really long time since I posted a blog... Here I come after a long time....

Two of my best colleagues at work quit...Now what is there to post a blog on that... Read on...

One of colleagues had joined after I had joined work...She was wee bit a fresher.. Ramya and me got close to this chik.. She seemed pretty sweet and nice...We got freindly with her and she got close to us..So the three of us used to literally freak out at work.. It used to be great fun...

It so happened that we I fondly started callin the newer of my colleagues CAT.. She used to remind me typically of a CAT...I told Ramya that observe her closely and she resembles a cat so much.. And the best part was even she started feeling she looked like a cat...Now isnt that great.. Two feeling the same is much better than one.. Cat's facial expressions were similar to a real cat..

After that sometime another colleague of mine started feeling that she looks like a cat.. Cat used to kinda get so buuged that all beacuse of me people feel she looks like a cat but she used to be very sportive.....Taking it ay her stride types...

The best part was yesterday was her last day.. When she was leaving in the eveing, my H.R was talkin ot her and all of a sudden she says , "Oh My God, You so look like a CAT"!!!!!

Well, well , well no comments......
