Tot just before leavin for Goa today - (yippeee...) for a nice break... would share da stuff bout last week's trip with u guys... well it was an office trip, and 'supposedly' we were supposed to visit placed like Talkaad, Shivana-samudram etc... and all the office gang (da 23 of us who had joined last year on 12th September) were intimated by mail ( of course i was in the initial planning committee :D)... this was followed by a series of yes's and no's and no time re's etc etc... i had decided i would at least take a day from the full schedule and spend it with this group which had hardly received any attention from my side since I had joined Oracle SSI (no offence meant from my dearest office friends :D)...
Trip day dawned on Saturday 5th August, and a big surprise - 17 of us turned up... problem again coz the tempo-trax we had called for was a 13 sitter :D hence well... some stood, some made place for the rest, took turns etc etc... but i guess da travel was the most enjoyable part... the reason being there was more of travel and nuthin else... ;) Well... half way thru I learned that the major guy involved in plannin out had changed the destination at his own convenience and that too a place which was around 6 hrs from Bangalore - Coorg/Madikeri - had been there more than a year ago with my college friends and had had great fun with them - the place isnt all that great as much as it is hyped - but well there are some locations which are worth mentioning...
There was one we missed in the initial trip - Harangi Dam - u can see it and deduce how much we enjoyed for ureself... ;)
And there's Abbey falls - well.. it wasnt all that great the last time we had been there, but this time it was seriously overflowing...
Too bad when we reached the Tibetan monastery, it had been closed for the day...the people who hadnt seen it earlier missed somethin really good... for u guys out there - if u need some time to spend with ureself... please go to this lovely place and put aside some time for meditation... a sincere advice...
Nuthin more to tell bout the trip, except that it was another 5 hour journey back... and well - reached at 3 in the morning da next day... friendship day... what an occasion to have a nice trip and also another nice time i had with close friends da next day... would have shared that too - but some other time...
Gotto leave now as i gotto catch da bus soon...

hey ashi, u still on earth.. any of ur blogger frnz wudve thought u had taken off on a 5-yr vacation to Mars :D
well, when I had been to Madikeri more than 2 yrs back, we had skipped Harangi. Anyway. had heard that its no big deal.. its just another Dam. Gosh, this is the right time to visit Abbey falls i guess.. just look at that gushing water!
and how I wish u had given the Tibetan Monastery advise 2 yrs back :(. For want of time, we had ommitted that from our itinerary. .and r repenting it till date.
