Deewali Holidays !!

DAY 1

Ashok and I reached banglore at about 8:00 in the morning of 20th oct. After getting refreshed at my uncle's place, we took his bike to roam about in the city.

Forum Mall was our first break. We did some window shopping there and planned to watch DON in PVR, but it was running house full.

We left forum after 3-4 hrs, to visit my cousin. He stays in an apartment along with his college friends. He showed us his college and then all of us planned to watch DON.

Though it was not PVR, but the theater was good. And the movie ultimate!


DAY 2

It was the diwali day. We didn't have any special plans. We found out from the newspaper that a new branch of VISHAL Mega Mart has opened and it is offering 25% discount on all the items.

We spent 3-4 hrs there and did some shopping too. I returned back to my uncle's place. Ashok went to MG Road with his friends ( he had called his friends there to see them, some old pals)

Uncle lighted few candles and diya. We enjoyed the evening talking, gossiping and eating sweets. No crackers ! (not interested any more)

me and sushil bhaiya
DAY 3
It is the most memorable day of the trip. It was a mixture of both fun and frustation. We were on our way to Wonder la (a placejust like essel world and water kingdom). Every thing went fine till we reached Kengri. There, I was supposed to take out some cash. Unfortunately the ATM was not working properly, it had some connection problem !
That area has only one ATM, so we had no choice but to go to other nearby locality. But before going I tried once more, and thank God, it worked. We had 1000 rs wid us, and we thought thats enough. So we continued to Wonder la.
"Thousand eighty please", the ticket counter person asked. I asked whether they accept debit cards. " No , only credit cards ", said the person.
I went to Badadi ( 6.5 kms away form wonder la), and on reaching there, I found out that my ATM is with Ashok. Oh my God !
Ashok came there with the ATM card, and then we found out that the only ATM there was out of cash! We had no option but to go back to Kengri (25 kms form there). And we were not sure whether that ATM will work ? And it didn't.
But at last we found out another ATM there, and soon we were in Wonder la !

this vertical fall (rightmost) was too thrilling !!
splash -- we rode this 5 times !!
slides
free fall


insanity



rain dance -- it was superb!!
fire works 7:00 - 7:20 pm -- it was great !!
It was too much fun in Wonder la, the wave pool, the thrilling slides, rain dance, and the musical fountain and laser show (awesome !)
DAY 4
The Mysore trip with bike was cool, though Ashok found it a bit tiring. Mysore is about 157 kms form Banglore, and a highway connect the two places.
1. Philomena's Church -- An amazing church , just have a look!





2. Chamundi Hill
The Temple
Vendors
wait for my next post-- mysore palace, zoo, park...
