The best part about it this trip was that it was planned only a day before...Aswin had this sudden brainwave that we should all just take off n leave town for the day on sunday....me being the hyper self that i am got all ...well...hyper...to say the least. So we decided to take Frankie's brand new vandi and settled on 6:30 am as departure time:) But obviously, with the luck we have, it got delayed by 5 hours!!! Frankie was chilled, bhomi and bijoy were too busy discussing NCC and Aswin and Kakks were busy getting drunk at Kairali to stay calm:) Neetu, wanted to head home after her bus journey to brush her teeth as she kept her mouth covered from the bus stop to her place ( with bhomi and bijoy discussing how after she gets married, will she talk to her husband after waking up next to him)...poor girl...anyway....moving on now, we waited "patiently" outside her house while she not only brushed her teeth but took a shower too:) . During this time Bhomi and Bijoy (who i will now refer to as B& B cuz its just too damn long to type their names out) headed to the nearest shady bar and bought 12 WARM beers( gaak!), by which time neetu had decked herself up and headed down:) On the way to pick up the boys from Kairali we were all pretty nervous about getting the shelling of our lives from them for being late, but as we approached Kairali, this is wat we saw- Unns drunk, with a beedi attached to his mouth and Aswin hanging onto him, also, well...DRUNK. Hilarious that was.... and that's when our day truely began:) (though mine began at 7 am when i was told to wake up! bleedy idiots!) So we all piled into the car and met Kissu on our way who took a fairly hyper Bijoy with him:) I had to deal with Bhomi's lectures about how my hair wont go haywire if the windows are down and frankie's grave attempts to make sure i dont drive the car! There were a few pit stops on the way for tender coconuts and pisses...then the priceless one came along...aswin decided to let kakka ride the bike ( i have nooo idea for wat joy) and as they rode along we watched the silencer give way with a loud burst:) ...kakka's face fell and the bike stopped...hahahahhaa....bhomi and i sat at the back giggling away whereas frank's bp went for a toss:) anyway he test rode the bike n it was fine...except this time kakka didnt want to ride...relief:) ...after around an hour and a half more of driving/riding we still hannt reached Sangam (ahem where the 3 rivers, Cauvery, Tungabadra and Arkavati meet ,but wasnt too appealing to any of us...) ...we decided to get a lil adventurous and took a left turn onto a mud track which leads to the Arkavati Dam..i somehow expected it to be dry, which it was to an extent, but then we reached this spot which was seriously gorgeous...the tail end of the dam extended out into a lake and was atleast 20ft high...me being the woos that i am was shit scared to walk it...everyone went n sat at the edge of this stretch and then frankie came back for me, ( the same shit he pulled at wonderla...yanking my arm!) and dragged me to the edge...the drama queen that i am kept screaming "im getting dizzy! i want to go back! frankie take me back! bastard! take me back!" heheh but it was sooo worth it...the view from there was kickass...we sat there drinking, smoking, laughing, with nervous giggles coming out of me... blast it was:) then kissu, kakka, frankie n neetu headed to the other side of the dam...apparently the ride was awesome with kakka nearly landing on kissu's head while kissu looked at the "scenery"..i had to deal with aswin standing next to me saying "how mean ra these guys are...left us and went" bwahhahahaa...paapaa...anyway they finished off their little "trip to the other side" after something like 10 mins they headed back...then the whole bunch of us left for Sangam with me driving and the other 4 on bikes...fiiiiinally we reached sangam...and wat did we see? hoards of people in this tiiiny little river ...not happy...no one was happy...aswin and i quickly pulled out cigs to keep ourselves happy...the rest whined and walked towards the river..frankie and kakka found a pretty spot where there was no one where they cud swim..at that point kissu and i (being the halli's that we are) found a bunch of men beating the crap out of each other in the river...our eyes were only for them while kakka was yelling at us to walk..hehe...anyway we headed towards this "spot" and thats when frankie revealed to us his multi coloured swimming trunks:P!! i stiffled my giggles or he wudve broken my other arm too! cute it was:) so kakka and frankie got into the water...frankie tried to do splashing stunts in the water which were'nt very impressive and then attempted to swim which was even worse! kakka went slipping n sliding over rocks till he found a spot on the rock and sat his non existent backside there..the rest of us were'nt really entertained n therefore left these two and headed for lunch...sat at a restaurant called the "tender coconut"(god knows why) and ordered mutton biryani...the biryani rocked...dont know if it was just due to sheer hunger or wat but it rocked...and when the bill came we realised how we had been royally scammed...the damn thing was 100 bucks each!!! Everyone was too tired to argue or curse so we payed the bill; n left:) kakka and kissu left early even though kakka had a broken ass and the rest of us piled into the car with B&B on the starcity.. with a very drunk Bhomi going as the pillion rider...hahahah coming back was fuun:0 got stuck behind a truck full of gaping men for a bit...as they didnt let us overtake...also nearly crashed into a bullock cart...happy happy times, reached blore...even though sangam sucked...the dam was kickass and we had a blast:) we had 4 drunk boysus with us so how cud it not be:)fun it was...
ps: kissu and kakka have red and tan stripes across their faces due to severe sunburn:) bwahahahahahahahah
