My gr8 Mysore trip
Here is the long due blog on my mysore trip.
We (7 ppl) started from Bangalore at around early morning 7ish (!!!!) on wednesday. We are supposed to start from our place at 6:30 AM but we were late only by one hour considering our reputation and past experience, I guess this is not bad at all.
First stop is at a small hotel. Everyone had the breakfast. From then on, there is no stopping in eating. We ate everything and anything that is remotely edible and fall in our sight. Its a very well synced group. Everyone has so much appetite, we realized only on that day. ;)
We started playing some music and then some of them got bored. Then, played dumb C for most of the part. That was fun. I never realized that Dumb C can be that much fun. That too when you start to irritate the mimer by guessing something totally random and try to confuse him/her.
Next stop is at Tippu Sultan summer palace. It was a calm place. The greeneries are superb. But the museum is not that gr8...may be I am not interested in those sort of places :(

Can you spot the crodile. Believe us. We got that snap from the boat.
Then, went to Ranganathittu bird sanctuary(http://www.karnatakatourism.org/html/attract/nature/wildlife/bird.htm). This place was really exciting. There were lot of birds. (yeah..it sound stupid to say there were lot of birds in a bird sanctuary. But I couldn't resist :)) Then, went in a boat. It was really adventurous...there were crocodiles freely roaming around... Its really scary. Got some real cute pictures of crocodile and birds(yeah, only birds..not much figures around there). Had lot of snacks from icecream to popcorn to chips to pepsi after that awesome boating.
Went to Lalitha Mahal. Yeah. It is not a tourist destination. But it is really a palace. We bribed some 30 bucks to enter that hotel. It looks like Victoria Palace from outside.(Never Seen Victoria Mahal though :)). Took lot of snaps there too. (Yeah. Everyone is photogenic and want to capture every moment.)
Then, went to Chamundi hills. The place was very crowded. Took some snaps outside the temple. The view of Mysore from there was cool. Its really peaceful and serene to look Mysore from there. Had some tender coconut and bajji.
Had buffet lunch is Ramanashree hotel. Food was gr8. After so much of food from the morning, Everyone still managed to eat abundant amount of food.
Then, went to Brindavan. The place was changed a lot. The entrance to the garden was changed to the far end and hence you dont have to cross tht long stretch of dam. DAMN. Hence, we missed the long stroll over that dam. They say some safety measure or sthing. Water, Water every where....Why can't they give more water to Tamil Nadu, they have so much water. (Okie. Lets not get in to politics.) Had snacks & drinks again :)
Here comes THE place of the day. Yeah. You guessed it right. We came to THE PALACE. Right on time. Sorry. Rather we came before time. We waited for some time to enter the palace. We went inside. Managed to grab chairs. Waited patiently for the glorious time. At exactly 7 o'clock, the palace was lit totally. It was glittering like gold in that light. There are no words to express. Even photos can't justify that beauty. It was awesome,gr8,superb...okie..whtever.
Had dinner at really crappy road side dhabba. Food was good.
Overall, it was a really gr8 trip. Looking forward to have more such trip in the future. Thanks for the gr8 time ppl.

maams, super photos...
is that hippie fellow namma srinath?
ps tell me if you can see your blog in my blogroll...
Yeah da. Athu namma Srinath thaan. I didn't understand what do you mean by seeing my blog in your blogroll. How can I do that?
Dei Mani.. You missed the part about you refusing to mime any hindi movie in Dumb-C. Now, that's what I'd call modesty ;-). After a lot of co-axing Mani agreed to mime 'Maine Pyar Kiya'.
It would be interesting to know how Mani mimed 'Maine Pyar Kiya'. Hey, Mani you gave lot of mundane details and missed these interesting stuff.
From your blog, it looks like you guys spent lot of time eating. I now do not feel bad having missed the trip. You wouldn't have done anything interesting.
Srinath,
You forgot to tell tht u ppl guessed that in less than 10 seconds.
Raj,
Some of these things can't be explained in words. I am mining tht is one such thing. You missed it. I pity u.
The good thing abt the trip is even after so much food, we had gr8 time. :)) Dont try to console urself Raj. You missed a gr8 trip.
That was indeed a great trip. As Mani put it accurately, some things cannot be described, you just need to be there to realize it. Again, a superb, fun-filled, least tiring, enjoyable trip.
just see if you can see a link to "Ornate Friend" or "Keep Changing" on the right hand side of my blog. :) There is some problem with my bloglines code, so it is visible on and off!
