Bowled over by Mysore's viewpoint!!!

Four friends.. One car.. Trip to mysore!!!!

Its always a last minute plan.. everytime, planning starts few weeks before.. but execution phase never runs smoothly.. however it finally turns out to be a different destination.. so planning starts all over again at that last minute and finally bags packed for trip!! ;-)

This time also was no different.. we had planned for coorg trip but finally settled for mysore.. Saturday we stayed in Amblee resort which is just beside river kaveri.. I loved it for two reasons.. 1) Riverside 2) Swing ;) I have this insatiable longing towards water and swings (I always dream of building a house riverside with different kinds of swings ;) well, thats just a dream).. The resort has a swimming pool but no tubes.. now that was the saddest part.. all my daydreaming of floating on water went for a toss.. :-( one of my friend came up with this innovative idea that u can actually swim with the help of a volleyball !!.. hold the volleyball tight and start swimming it would save u from sinking.. it worked perfect!  however, when my hands slipped from it someone had to save me from drowning!!

Next day we headed for mysore.. balmuri edmuri falls, planetX, chamundi hills were on the list.. balmuri falls was just awesome.. Coracle ride was fun.. its the first time i sat in a coracle so i was all excited... at some point he swirls it round n round and the whole world comes spinning to you..!!

We spent the whole evening in planetX.. bowling, air hockey and some kids game all came our way.. when it comes to bowling i always have an excuse.. the ball is heavy.. ;) but this time i had an added excuse.. "guess the machine is not proper.. its not adding my scores properly :P" when its TK's turn, he always tried for a strike but NO!! one of the pin would stand there not ready to fall.. very adamant huh? however, it was reverse in my case.. the pins fell as though they are dead bored of standing and waiting for the ball to just touch them!! sagara was careful everytime he rolled the ball but couldnt resist gutter sometimes ;-) well kartik was very dissappointed when he lost the game to TK and sweared not to play the game again.. hehehe :)

It was around 8, we left for chamundi hills.. awesome wind.. superb view of the city.. The viewpoint was terrific.. at that altitude, wind catches speed and tries to blow you away.. mysore palace was the highlight.. It was like an island in the sea of light.. For the first time, i looked down instead of staring at the sky in the night.. stunning view.. those few minutes conquered me and lingered all night.. :-)
