THE HIGHWAYS,THE TEMPLES,THE GODS,THE MONKEYS,THE RIVER,THE FISHES,THE STARS,THE PEOPLE,THE MOBILES&THE BEEDIES

Hi everyone….after receiving the 1st feedback about this blog [a positive one i.e]..i was greatly inspired a write more…..and was just waiting for a good topic to come up….that came yesterday in the form of a cal from my friend Nihar…he invited me and another friend preetham on a trip to some place near k.r.nagar....as far as I knew and understood from his call was that place had a dam and was called as ********katte……*s indicate that I didn’t understand the word.
Anyways I was free as it was a Sunday[actually am free everyday]..i agreed and thus we went to his house from where we 3 and nihar’s parents were to go in his car.we started of at about 12:30pm.we were treated with an amazing road…….its just a pleasure to be driving on that road from mysore to k.r.nagar……but then may be I was too happy because we we soon found ourself driving on the most disgusting ,rotten[if those can be used to describe how bad that road was]road with all shapes of stones and rocks on it.
But the journey was still enjoyable as nihar started narrating the story of a recent kannada flick “jothe jotheyalli”[in English its called together together…..etc etc].anyways we drove on and on to a place now clearly sounding as ‘chun chun katte’….that place has a dam and the most important thing is…it has a beautiful temple of Lord Ram.
We reached that small village finally... and parked the car & got down only to be surprised and amazed by the amazing gushing sound of the river KAVERI near by”wow” it was truly amazing.But before running towards the river we went to the temple. The entrance was lined like in many other temples by beggars. But that’s not the only thing the moment we entered inside we were greeted by monkeys of all sizes…big,small,fat,young,small&old.there I came to know about the myth that Lord rama had visited the place and that the voice of the mighty gushing sound of the river can’t be heard inside the “garbha gudi”[that’s where the idol of the god is placed inside a temple].I had my doubts…..but was proved wrong and from then on I am thinking why the hell is it still called a myth …it’s a fact.
This temple is also special because the idol of sita devi is on the the right side of lord rama.
Even while being amazed by all the amazing ,unnatural, about that temple…I was quite let down by what I saw on the walls,above the door,etc. some read”shri rama photo studio koduge”[presented by shri rama photo studio] and the other read “marble decorations by mr.revanna&sons”……damn…..why do they want to advertise on temple walls too??? Some may argue that it was a charity …but I say it’s a namesake charity….literally.
On the way out we saw a overweight ,well fed monkey still prying for more food from other devotees.
The moment we stepped out we were again Enchanted by the River and directly headed towards it…..we crossed a bridge which had no support both below nor on the sides…and the climbed rocks boulders and made our was to a nice spot where in the water was flowing at high speed between the rocks…we rested and enjoyed feeling of the gushing water on our legs and watched some really brave men diving and swimming in that powerful current of water.
And not to miss was watching tiny black fishes trying to jump up and above the falls before us....and some jumping too high and getting caught by the snake birds waiting above with their wings spread wide ...From there on we went to a place called ramanathapura[its about 100kms from mysore]
Or should it have been devasthanapura……it had as many as 4 temples all around each other….1st we visited the farthest of the 4 temples which had a pushkarini[lake a big one] with big ,really big fishes of all kinds…..we started feeding those giants tiny round biscuits and watched how 4 or fve fishes battle for that tiny piece even though they may have been eating the same thing from morning. We did this for sometime until I had a faintest doubt on preetham [or more lovingly called mama] that he may be eating half the biscuits that we were giving him 2 feed the fishes[sorry mama…….if u r reading this..am just kidding] .from the pushkarini we went to the temple built by the “CHOLAS”…who had set out to make an impressive decorations on the walls surrounding the main temple...with elephants,parrots,men,women and all ... in a single night and had left it incomplete cause they were beaten by the sun in this race.It was just beautiful to look…..the elephants ..the parrots…and parrots and even more parrots…….it has to be seen to be belived and to be amazed at.then from there after loading ourselves with 3 or 4 packes of timepass kadlekai[groundnuts] we went to the other 3 temples and and to be amazed by them…..
By the time we left Ramanathapura it was 7 pm……It was dark already and hoping and praying that the road will be much better than the one we took in the morning ..we set of….
We passed dozens of bullock carts riding away into the darkness behind……the night turned in and it was pich dark……yeah we switched of the the headlights he he….
There were hardly any headlights all the way………we passed through several small villages with people on the road half drunk seemed as if we had disturbed them from our headlights……we drove on ….and were sometimes blocked by huge truckload of dry grass on tractors…..and sometimes we were met by 2 pairs of eyes and a glowing red beedi [yeah that’s the bullocks and the guy riding the bullock cart with a beedi dangling from his mouth]
I was also amazed by one more thing….in those tinly dark villages on the way…..one thing was evident……all had a glowing green thing in their hands[yeah a cell phone!!!!!!]and a beedi in between their lips…huh…THE GREAT INDIAN MOBILE REVOLUTION AND ALSO THE CIGGARETE [electricity needs to catch up though]with nothing else to do we started star gazing….wow..i could easily see a billion more stars than I could have back here in mysore…..after the star came the moon which strangely was changing colours according to mama 1st it was bright yellow the pale yellow …..and the white and then green[that’s the tinted glass].And continuing eating the kadlekais...and looking at the tiny bulbs hung on the electric poles which were supposed to be the 'tubelights'
In the mean time we had a song session as it was becoming increasingly unbearable to hear nari[yeah that is nihar] sing the only 2 words that he remembered of a song from the film jothe jotheyalli….the old..the new….the hindi..the English..the kannada…and last but not the least ….HIMESH RESHAMIYYA’S [was the spelling correct??] CHAKNA CHAKNA…….
And thus driving back on the thankfully superb road we arrived back to mysore which was surprisingly feeing a lot cozy, peaceful, enchanting, homely& beautiful than the places that we had just visited…..THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
I was back at 11pm i.e about 11 hours away from home…….and quickly jumped onto the bed cause I had college at 8 the next moring…damn….life continous…again………..




and so I slept of with the gushing sound of the river still resounding in my ears and the big fishes still swimming and eating before my eyes….and that unexplainable feeling of warmth…cold…..power…devotion……fear …and the cold running trough the my spine when one enters the temple still fresh in my heart and mind …I ..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYDAY DREAMS THAT U DREAM IN THE NIGHT


Hmm…..I had a tremendous brainwave 2day…….that I will post something in my blog!!!![I really meant it---something]
So I sat in front of my computer which was looking quite different from what it used to look like before……it was looking more like a badly solved jigsaw puzzle with a white monitor[instead of a black one] ,black C.P.U, and a grey set of speakers….and yeah a black keyboard. All I could do was ignore all these eye catching distractions and concentrate on writing something on my blog[hardly any one has commented on my earlier posts…so I have no idea if the blog is being read at all!!].
But there was something missing in all this!!!
Hmmm….I had no idea about what 2 write this time….coz nobody had cut any trees nor had I studied as much in the last 2 or 3 days…..so I had to write something new …..but new what????
What should I write about????
My yesterday nights horrific dream…in which I was being chased by a shark in a Limousine [yeah that’s right!!!] coz I had accidentally broken one of its egg[yeah right again] while I was rock climbing[yeah u just won a million dollars…u r right again].
Or should I write about how my vehicles light switch kept switching on by itself [I know it wasn’t by itself but still…]
Or how disgusted I was when I drove into a swarm of flies under a street light of which some went into my eyes nose, mouth..etc etc[yuck!!!!!]
Or what was my experience while watching The American Pie 5[please don’t ask]?????
Or what the hell am I supposed to write????

There was a flash…n another flash n then it glowed bright….the tube light… yeah…..I confess … it is my brain!!!!

I had just hit an idea…..I will write what I was feeling at that very time…& .I was swearing on my imagination for making me dream something as drastic as a shark chasing me…and as dumb as the switching on of lights by itself…as yucky as running into a swarm of disgusting pests an as funny as an American pie ….
So am writing this thing…and I can’t imagine what you the reader might be going through while reading this …..”He really didn’t have any other job to do except write this thing….right”…and even am thinking the same thing “these people really don’t have any other job but to be reading this blog”

And in the end I rejoiced at having had to write something interesting and having written some incredibly stupid crap …….








TRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!


WAT THE…………………………
Its 8:00 in the morning……ohOOOO…………SO WAS I DREAMING OF WRITING THAT ALL CRAP OF A THINGS?????
WOW…….DREAMZZZZZ

THANK GOD……..I DIDN’T RUN IN2 THAT HUGE DAMN SWARM OF DISGUSTING ALIENS LIKE YUCKY CREATURES WITH WINGS [AGGGGRRRH………THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!]



HAPPY READING!!!!!!
TATAAAA and SORRY for all the pain you've been through and will be through he he

Well……… am back!!!!!!

I got up the other day……at 8:10 sharp and I stretched n flexed my almost non existent muscles or just body fat or whatever u call it……I suddenly realized that I was in a really good mood……guess y?????? ahhhhaaaa…..26Th of JAN… REPUBLIC DAY …or was it….ahhhhaaaa……26Th of JAN….. HOLIDAY ????? hmmm…..
I get up n do all the mundane jobs most people do in the morning……or do they????
I just love holidays……u can do lot of things on a holiday…unlike on other days when u don’t do anything [I know most of u will agree he he] but all the hyped excitement was short lived ..my DAD had a holiday 2…amd asks me to study as i hardly do it...oh dear that is gonna be a really tough job……but…I took the challenge head on….[ouch!! my head still hurts] and start with some severe number crunching….Induction, Intergration, Axes, Directrices, Matrices, Determinants……wht else???
I start solving things one after the other without knowing what’s the use of solving them
u just invent strange new problems and start solving …gr8.. but y????? Nobody knows and if u ask anyone u will get the best possible reply “u will realize later”….i may realize later but…why not tell me the use of it right now??[answering that is out of syllabus I guess]I mean why the hell should I know n worry about how a Carnot’s engine works??? [its he who should be knowing that rite]
It’s not just mathematics…it’s the same story in physics also….its like teaching a software pro how to to mix the cement n all…now com’on what’s the use of teaching him that???
Why are we made to learn things of which we don’t even know the value or use…..it’s there in the syllabus….so u learn it…
And needless to say…..i just slogged slogged n slogged like a hungry pig eating every damn thing that’s smelled like food[eeek that’s disgusting….]
And at the end of my studying session I grasped at least 3/4th of what I was supposed to…[enough 2 get a pass huh??]of which I had hardly understood a quarter….but never mind “its ur job as a student”.
So that’s how my “aahhhaaa REPUBLIC DAY 26Th of JAN” passed….doing things I hardly understood n silently swearing that one day…one day am gonna sue the “Education Dept of Govt of INDIA” or whatever be its name….
But I later started thinking…..didn’t any of those guys have any other job other than inventing strange new formulas and deriving them…like didn’t they have any college, yahoo, Google, Blogspot , TV ….no nothing????
N slowly my long holiday passed n passed away….damn “I just hate holidays”…….
So I blamed my dear old KARMA and continued …….YOU KNOW WHAT….


Chao!!!

well this is one of the few really cool videos tht i came acros.......thought u woud like it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBpzZKgn8ks

TREES OR LAB??? WHAT DO U WANT?????????




Well this is what has been happening around the world n for the 1st time its happening so close 2 me............i.e in my college.



Yuvaraja College ,Mysore



Many may not knoe what the fuss is all about so i must tell u what is the problem











my college [yuvaraja college] has a big empty space in front of the building this place has[had rather] many old n big trees.....this place was reallly a lung space, v used 2hang around this place, coz there is no other place u knoe like some cool place 2 eat or anything......it was a really calm n peacefull place....tht is b4 now.......there r hardly ny left.......u knoe...the trees...........



Obviously this agitated many people.....the GREENS n some STUDENTS too.........so u can only imagine wht they did..............SRTIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!








Like many my 1st instinct was 2 jump in2 the STRIKE......but i then realised..........whats the USE?????????????????


They had allready cut the trees...................





so instead of planting new tree sapling if the those GREENS were 2 simply conduct a STRIKE its no use whtsoever.............





Now comes the question...why the college admin cut the trees in 1st place.......


1]to construct a new Applied Science Lab


2]Platinum jublee auditorium


3]There was no other place in and around the college...we cant hav a lab in some other corner of the earth now.....it has 2 be in or near college










So what do u do...clear the area n build the building......naturally this angered many people.......so there was a STRIKE in our college.........even though the principle herself had clarified that it had permission from the Forest dept .........then later another group of students [the pic above] took out a rally in support of the const or in support of coll admin?????Tht I DONT KNOE!!!!!!

so the debate goes on..........what do we want the TREES or a LAB???????????
LAB o'course..........but what abt the trees?????????
THEY HAVE ALLREADY BEEN CUT OFF....WHICH IS REALLY SAD........SO WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE........................PLANT MORE SAPLINGS THN THT HAVE BEEN CUT............THATS THE ONLY WAY OUT..........................

NO ORKUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!


Guess what is the most dishearting news of today........................




For the 1st time in about 6months or so that iam in orkut..................it is under construction...........
shit man!!!!!!!!!!!
And thats exatly the reason why i created this new blog on friday evening.........
My day 2day was one of the most boring of all.........no orkut.......... :(
no college..........no movie...........no friends....................
what could b more worse than that?????????????
the 1st thing i planned 2 do this morning was log in 2 orkut n chat with everybody as it was a holiday ....coz no coll.............there is a reason ofcourse y i dont hav collage 2day...ill save that for my next post......now as there was no orkut.....the only other way n one of the most trusted....n never "underconstruction" from as long as i can remember..........the good old yahoo messenger............n the 1st 'IM' of the day that i receive was from my classmate.......jayanth......."lo maga no orkut" now it sounds quite normal in kannada but in english it wound sound rather odd.....something like this..."hey son no orkut"......u know he is my freind n not my father now is he..its a "guy thing".....we talk like that only cant help.......nyways.......thts what was sent by many other freinds of mine "no orkut"......n also the last 'IM' I got 2day b4 creating "roc"....was"man no orkut"........so thats what i thought should be the topic of my 1st posting on my new blog.........

non-orkut users may wonder whats the big deal........but let me tell u..........they r only few of ur kind u know...non-orkut users.That makes it a big deal o'course........!
Wth some 180 friends n 42 fans[thts a bit less i knoe.....]n a member of some 200 communities[thts a quite a lot i knoe....] n abt 8000 scraps ......i have no idea how i spent this day.......
It was indeed a looong day na ver boring one 2!!!!

an am here typing on the keyboard sitting in front of the monitor[ on which i used 2 c my scrapbook everyday at this time :( ] hoping n hoping that orkut should be back 2morrow....may be a bit cooler than it already was........just like many many people around the globe.........

n yeah....wishing all the readers n "HAPPY NEWYEAR"in advance.........
