ShivanSamudra Trip !!

1st Scence (till 8AM) : Everyone (Yash, Mohsin, Suneel, Aribijay aka Bambie, Amit Shah, Amit Kasture, Shuchivrat and Myself ) gathered at the MacD side of Forum in d morning... ofc some of them got late. Its cold outside and saturday morning.. hard to get up for the trip !! 5 Bikes, 8 pals, the journey just started !! All Bikes were diff, so our initial discussions were restricted to howz this bike.. average and performance et.al till we got outta city !!!

2nd scene : Took almost an hour to get outta Banglore coz of traffic, fog and drizzling of the rains . Though ASA we hit the roads outside banglore, the bikes raced to full .. vroooomm .... Stopped in nearby Dhaaba to have morning breakfast and after then again zooommm !!!! (9:30AM probably).

3rd scence (12 noon): Stopped nearby a roadside farm for a break from riding and watering some roadside trees ( I mean NCC..). ASA we took off from there, my bike got punctured (pic is in flikr album). What a journey w/o any accidents, we thought!! One of the local kannadiga guy tried to pluck out the Metal piece that peirced my bike from his teeth. But in vain... even we were horrified to see him work like tht, we feared he will damage his teeth this way . Ours was a very funny conversation happening, we din't understood wht he was speaking in kannada and he couldn't understand hindi or English . anyways, Amit S. knows a lil bit of kannada, so he found out from kannadiga tht theres a chance of getting a mechanic from the next village. So, 2 bikes left to bring the mechanic and came back soon.. thnks God. The mechanic came and pulled out my tyre and Shuchi left with him again to his garage for repair work.
Meantime, A Beautiful Location along roadside, some big trees, coconut trees spreading their monstery shadow around, sun trying to peirce thru these trees to make it to ground, lovely cooool place!! One small spring beside, the soothing sound of flowing water that couldn't be replaced by any of the artificial instrument in the world. (We actually kept silence for some time to hear that nature's music), unpacked our bags for aking out lunch material. Bread/Butter, chips, fruits, biscuits and what not!! By the time, the tyre is repaired we had heavenly lunch there enjoying the beauty of countrysides !! Like all good citizens, we din't threw away the used packets/carry bags there instead, we packed all in a single pack and threw it in a bin later at ShivanaSamudra .

4th Scence : All ready to hit the roads again, bike repaired, the acceleraters at max... dhoooommmmmmm...!! . Me and Amit S slowed down a lil bit going thru a village on d way, one small kid was asking for a lift. Normally I avoid to give lift in banglore due to safety, but I stopped for the boy and he jumped on to the bike. A student of 8th class, he was going back to his home after school. I striked a conversation with him in Hindi, he wasn't saying anything. I asked which language he speaks, he said wither Kannada or English. His English was quite good comapred to ours when we were in 8th !! . This boy is commuting daily so far for school and was quite good in studies too!! Hopefully, he will be Doctor someday as he dreams so. He was having this heart shaped baloon with him, I asked "U have a Girlfrend??", he shouted back.."What???" I said .. "Nothing" and chuckled !! .

Scene 5 : Reached the place zooming past everybody, had naariyal paani there, and we were told that the only way to get to teh top of waterfalls is again a 20KM ride. We were tired so we decided we'll get down from tht place only rather than making such a big round on bike. We all ready to treck to get down there from the "Gallery View". There was this fence and a small board written "Do not cross the fence for safety reasons". None of us understood whts written in English, as we are alien to this language . Anyways, we got down and slowly and steadily reached at the bottom of falls.. all rocks there.. couple of adventurers like us were already there!! cool... wht a site mann... clicked so many good pics there... then we threw our bags around, changed cloths to get down under the water, and wht... had a blast for more than an hour !!

Scence 6: Getting to the top again was a daunting task as we already tired, by the time we reached the top with the luggage and wet cloths burdon on the back, I felt like all the lower body is numb for sometime. We changed cloths there in a small hut.. hogged again like anything as we wer hungry... finished most of the food we brought... and back to bikes to hit back to teh road to the concrete jungle .. that is banglore !!

Scene 7: Already dark, vehicles flashing headlights and with so mcuh traffic on the roads, I had a difficult time to see in front while driving. the divider was not visible due to refraction inside the scratched glass of my helmet . There was this couple on pulsar without helmet with whom we enjoyed race for most of the time. He was driving like mad... and the beuty behind him was driving us mad !! . Anyways,,, reached safely back home.. and now planned to sleep for the whole night and the next day .. sunday !!

Anyways... plans to go out once a month are a refreshin breaks one should always take to get outta this bad/professional/tensed life !!!
Take a break... hit the roads.. and N'joy the life to the fullest !!

Hey sam well witten. I thought you'll write something more @ the race. You've forgot to mention another couple on Honda activa. They overtook us and he was also w/o helmet. And one more thing that chap was on pulsar 250cc OK. 180 by the manufacturers and remaining due to the girl resting on his back and rest need not be explained. u know it well;)..
