It was a fresh Sunday Morning (01 March 2009). I got up along with the sun..at 6!Yeah,I'm no kick-ass military man who rises with the cock and fires away on all cylinders since dawn..but today,i was pretty excited.
The gang had planned a whole week in advance,which should indicate to you by now the enthu. We had voted(by a huge majority!) to go for the hindi movie Delhi-6 and
meet up Asha. She was not keeping too well from the past few days and had sadly,been hospitalised. After i got fresh i asked my sister to get ready and tag along . After we both got ready we left home by bike and reached suburban bus stand by 11.45 am.
I had previously informed Shreya,Mohan and Ankit to wait for us near the Arch Pillar just opposite suburb bus stand. Shreya had called Asha's mom to get the address of hospital. once we got the hospital's land mark, we started on our journey. Finally, after a lot of "treasure hunting" we managed to hit GOLD(the hospital;)). It was located near a masjid (on the way to bangalore - Bangalore - Mysore road)We all went inside the room in which Asha was admitted.She was bed ridden and seemed tired; I guess due to medicine and stuff.. we all adviced her to take care of her health and scrambled out of the room.
Since we were all feeling hungry we started discussing about where to have lunch.Finally Mohan concluded loudly "Lets go to parklane hotel!!" .. I was like, 'oh my god who is gonna pay the bill!!'..i countered, "Shall we go to some normal hotel and just go DUTCH on the bill???".. we
all decided to go to nalpad residency..when we approached nalpad residency i recollected that it was the same hotel where Bhavana's marriage had been arranged... we all went inside the hotel..as usual Shreya took the lead in ordering the food items ;).. We just took a mass call n ordered some hot n spicy baby corn Manchurian n very yummy and totally unhealthy finger chips. Shreya started giving some tips on how Potato chips is made out of Potatoes ;)
It was not entering anyone's senses present there... before this yummy starters, Shreya n Ankit had sweet corn soup which looked healthy but tasted yuckk! then it was d time 4 main course. After munching Paneer Tikka, some rotis, veg jalfraizi, peas (piece) pulav, we paid the bill and rushed out of the restaurant towards our next corner spot. Yes it was "Corner House", famous for its happening crowd and its delicious ice creams.We took d choice of our cream n rushed 2 some convenient table from which we could see chicks all around. Shreya was relishing her favorite hot chocolate fudge n others butter scotch scoops... I, Manu and Ankit were scanning all d chicks who were there (wit their bloody boy friends). After having this melting delight we started towards our final hotspot our very own Chamundi Hills!!!
My sister Chaaya suggested us to go 2 a rocking place tagged as "machan" off chamundi hills main road. We took a deviation from the main stream n headed towards machan. I must say it was totally a peacefuland isolated place. Shreya was excited and high as if she was on roadies 7.0(Hell down Machan) Hardly there was anyone near-by. We all parked our vehicles and started walking into the bushes on a ruddy track.
On one side there were huge thorny creepersn plants and on other side the cutting edge to death. With full zing, we went deep inside the forest until it sank that we might be on the wrong track. Ankit and Mohan did someR&D and concluded that there is some short cut to reach the top on the other end of it.So we started off towards the right track and reached the top not with much difficulties in a couple of minutes.
We felt as if we have boarded on some treasure hunt in an isolatedisland. Amidst this, Shreya shouted "justimagine if some tiger approaches straight into us what would u guys do?" we just ignored her words. For which we had to pay for it later Later we all reached d final peak point where the view of Mysore was extremely gorgeous! We could see the upcoming airportrunway with never ending greenery all around at one end, and the beautiful Lalit Mahal hotel and the Glorious building of "Vidya Vikas Engineering College". Heaven was right in front of us.
We all sat on the rock n started re-collecting our good old golden years spent at VVIET. It was all about our chit chats, never ending gossips, crushes…night mares about not getting output in our practical.. Devastating OS and DC papers. Tricks used to copy in exams. etc. etc.it was a perfect rollback about our hooligan student life.
And now there was the entry of the goons who just jumped in to steal our happiness. there were from the royal police patrol in-charge of human protection in betta. they brought the most terrific news to us which hasn't sunk 2 me yet!! a cheetah was roaming around the place where v had set up our own temporary world where v din give a damn for others. i said f*** man!! v din get 2 know that death was all around while we were fantasizing the glory of Mysore n exposing our college days pranks 2 each other. he had just set fire 2 our backs dat we started running at such speeds even PT Usha would have lost this game.
Later after reaching the road where we felt dat we were almost out of this sucking trap we spoke 2 the guards about these wild beauties( cheetahs n their cubs).they showed us some foot marks of cheetah which Chaaya was enjoying with full zeal!! within no time we kicked off our bikes n caught our way back to Mysore. the happiness after we have come out of the death bed was worth watching on our faces.. this was truly d most memorable day of our lives not only because we had a new friend on this journey (cheetah) but 4 d glorious moments we spent with our friends after 2 long years.
1st March '09 has made a special mark in our lives dat we all have taken an oath of not visiting that place ever again!!!!!!!
