NANDI TRIP.....

What began as a calm journey turned out be an adventrous and memorable trip. So much happened in that two day trip that it would be better i narrate it like a film.

Scene 1 (Saturday 27th May 2.00PM)

There wr 13 of us and we set out on 7 bikes from Bangalore to Nandi Hills. Climate was pleasant... thank god!!! if it had not been Bangalore, i would have become like the guys in the hip hop songs.

Scene 2 - The great fall...

Once on the highways ours bikes started blazing and we were riding at around 100KMPH with ease, and suddenly the tires screached - reason one of the bikes had a flat tire and the pillion rider suffered bruises due to the fall. The whole scene was like that of an action movie, with all the bikes braking suddenly. thankfully they had a miraculous escape,since a lorry coming behind them too stopped inches away from the bike.

Scene 3 - rain.. rain.. go... away...

We relaxed till the tyres were fixed and again set out on our journey to the hills. There was some one waiting to welcome us - guess who??? Mr. Rain. It was pouring down so heavily that we decided to stop our journey and stay at the foothills. Fortunately, nature showed some courtesy on us - it stopped raining.

Scene 4 - Dark Sky and Foggy weather

The engines started roaring again as our 15KM trek up the hill began at 8 in the night. There were no lights and it was pitch black, added to every thing was the fog around hampering our vision. But, nothing stoped the relentless riders and journey towards the destiny continued. I should appreciate our guts to drive in 80 up the hill with no one knowing the route or aware of where the road would turn.

Scene 5 - The Walk

Our ride came to a halt when we were stopped by a so called patrol guy (He didnt look like one. i was very sure that he would wet his pants if he were to hear some thing strange in the dark). We parked our bikes and walked through the dense trees and bushes in the dark.Thankfully a local came by with a torch and guided us in the dark for four Kms. It was a bit scary - u dont know when u might fall.

We were walking like some oldies, watching each step.When walked down the hill the next morning evryone were surprised cuz, they say the place is frequented by lots of snake and one side of the road led to a steep side of the hill. I felt my forehead getting wet from the scene... but then we had made it.
