Trip to Queen of Hill stations Ooty !!

Date : 27-28 May 2017  Start : Bangalore  Destination : Ooty [Hairpin curve 10] Kmts Covered : 276 kmts Stay : LEOPARD ROCK WILDERNESS RESORT Group - 4 [Me, JK , KM and HR] MoT : RE :) I was cribbing that long time we went out ..so we should get out somewhere for the weekend .. 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...

"Noolinanthe seere .... thaayiyanthe magalu ..." is it true??

Image
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 !!!!

How nice would it be to be free of all obligations and ties !!!! less worries ..... full tu bindaas ... mite b good right? just do what u feel like ... be how u want to ... everything is "what u want" ....

Do the curses reallyy work?

Image
I keep wondering ... when i see/hear ppl cursing each other ... do they really work ? Why are ppl so scared about being cursed then ???

how do we figure out?

Cheating ..corruption everywhere ... how do i make out whats real and whats fake ? i go on road ... see people in rags / needy .. but then not sure ..if they are really needy ... Shud i help?? i dont and i feel guilty .... u go to the shop... buy fruits ... come home and c half of them r rotten ... some stranger knocks the door .. asks for some water ...ppl open the door and next thing u hear is they have been beaten up and robbed of all their valuables ... U make friends with someone ... share wholeheartedly whatever u hv ..no negetive thoughts ..but the person is using u to get somehting done .. U trust someone cos of their soft nature ..sweet talks and sometime down the line u realise they r just buttering u to give them all ur posestions and slowly moving away .. so how can u trust someone? how wud u know if u r gonna be hurt later on ... or ur posessions wud be snatched away ???

jealous or disappointed with self???

Image
Donnno what it is ... dont think its jealousy cos its not like she wants to be like them ... nor she envys them ... but then def somethings wrong ..she's not pleased ..or isnt open to conversations.. can disappointment with self be linked to jealousy ??

Permanent or temporary.....??

I have been thinking from few days ... and its bugging me ... and whats eating my head is ... Is staying in a place/house permanently good or moving around is better? may both have their own plus and minuses ... but hvnet been able to point out one better than other may be .. But in some ways staying in same place mite give u strong bonding with ppl around ..but moving around also does giv u a chance to meet new ppl and make friends !! :)

The Bench ...

In School… It used to be like a rough sheet to do some calculations … Or wipe away the extra ink from the hand Used even to whiten the Rubber (“eraser” as it is called) ….or sharpen the pencil led Or just take a divider and draw circles just-for-fun A tool used for Punishment – “Stand up on the bench” ;) A dining table during lunch break … A Pillow when u want to cry or are sad/angry … A support to sleep … And also used to read/write In colleges …. It would tell Love stories of the past and the present … “A loves R” carved inside a heart …or “raj on the tail of arrow pointing to Rani …arrow passing thru the heart” which would symbolically represents Raj Loves Rani… Would also be the pointers to know the who belongs to which group of friends … or movie names …or dialogues … That’s the source of gossips about who-likes-whom kinds …or who’s called the “chamcha”,”pakao”,”chaalu” etc etc A canvas for the artists …. To draw all kinds of faces …flowers designs … A meeting table when frien...

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...

Some movie dialogues ...

When Harry Met Sally "I love that you get cold when it's seventy degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes, and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Notting Hill "I am just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her." "Happiness isn't happiness without a violin-playing goat." Forest Gump: My Mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.' When Harry Met Sally...

3 deewarein ...

one of the good movies i watched ... off late ... 3 characters ...each one a kind of his own ... 1st one : takes the whole blame on him whether he has done it or not ... feels too guilty and feels that only when he takes punishment .. its like "prayashchit" for him ... 2nd one : feels that he has not done anything wrong and is cnfident that he wud be saved as truth always wins ... he feels he is walking in right path ..so nothing can go wrong with him .... 3rd one : inspite of doing mistakes feeels there is always a escape route ... and never loses hope ... eternal optimistic ... that somehow he wud escape ... 3 totally diff characters ... intersting ...
