Ramnagar... Urf Ramghad of Sholay

Christmas weekend ….. One of the quickest , completely unplanned n economic trips I went for …. 3 of us decided we got to go somewhere for a trip … as it was long time since we went out and I wanted to get out of the City … So we decided to go for a short trip due to constraints like … one wasn’t free the next day .. and then we got to get back soon the day we go also ..etc etc … We decided to start around 8ish but ended up starting at 10 … We decided to meet at Kengeri which is on the way … It was lunch time by then and I hadn’t had my breakfast so tummy was growling … … so we had lunch there in a small but clean hotel … Full meals … started feeling sleepy but then … Then we started to Ramnagar … peak Sunny … Took a ksrtc bus … Reached ramnagar in 45 mins or so … then got some gnyaan from a fellow passenger along with the info that we had crossed our stop and we wud have to walk … So we got down n started walking walking … Close to 2 kmts to the stop where we were supposed to get down … …Too sunny … but then all joshed up … were thirsty …bought water n started walking again and then 3+ kmts to the bottom of the hill ………
Climbed one of the hills.. there were steps J and it was relatively cooler due to the trees on the way … but still there were lots n lots of steps ..were wondering how old people n kids wud manage !! then saw a few statues and small small temples on the way ..then reached the top .. …


went inside the temple … Not many people around … just a couple of gals with their herd of goats .. who started pestering us for money … Wherever we go just came coming behind us …pulling our clothes … Just wouldn’t leave us … we somehow escaped from them by leaving the place … Then … we sat on the rocks for sometime .. where we happened to see couple of locals … whom we asked THE question “where was the Film Sholay Picturised?” they told us some background and showed us one of the rock-top and told it was done there and then also mentioned that it was filmed in many places … Finally we thanked them … and started towards the next hill top It was a steep hill to be climbed ..but not to fear as we did have steps and also enough support to climb … Once we reached the top the sight was Heaven on Earth … Awesome view …


We strolled around for some time … n decided to head back …
As we had to catch the bus again …came down the hill ..all 3 were tired and hungry ..so bought some biscuits being sold by the security guard there ..
Killed our hunger for the time being …
Got back to the road … where we had to catch the bus back to Bangalore …
Within 10-15 mins we got a bus and got seat too
So … end of the trip when we got down in Kengeri again … to depart to our houses ….
Thought of a 1 day trip … but we finished in just 7-8 hours ! and we did enjoy it …
Not tired at all inspite of the climbing … bus journey !
Was amazed !

Theres a saying in kannada which says "Noolinanthe seere ...thaayiyanthe magalu" ..which means the sareee would be just like the thread from which its made ...similarly daughter will be just like mom ... now am starting to wonder if its true ... might just be ... firstly cos ... tho daughter is always dads pet ... they do talk a lot to mom tooooo ...and then as the saying goes ..moms the first teacher ... so may be ... she does become the role model in many ways ... have seen many cases where in ... u see the daughter and u can make out how her mom is !!!! if moms clean freak daughter picks it up too .. similar way if mom's messy .. daughter is messy too ... and the attitude as well is passed on to the daughter ... ... still wondering if i shud accept this proverb or not !!!!

And finally JK gave in to my pestering on Wednesday and our lovely friends KM and HR were also ready to join us.. Initial plan was to visit Masinagudi [we were all tempted after hearing  so much of praising from KM about the place he stayed ..The Monarch] .. Unfortunately our two attempts to book resorts in Masinagudi failed with KM being on calls with GoIbibo and Yatra to get the refund done ... all places were S*** expensive and Booked ... we were looking at the last moment i.e. a day before the trip and realised it was also the last weekend before the Schools re-opened and so it was obvious everyone wanted to get out !! Friday eve and we still didnt have a place to stay ... we then sta...
