Coorg: Yet another trip to remember

Before the story starts, there is `yet' in the title because there have been many awesome trips which I haven't blogged about. Glimpses from two different excursions follow.

Munnar, Kerala

Savitri Valley, Mahabaleshwar

After a lot of hiccups and alibis; Peter, Jack, Colin and George (names changed to ease leg-pulling)  rolled out towards Bangalore for a fun and frolic trip. 

What initially seemed as a will-be boring train journey turned to be quite an amusing one. The way George turns pale things into engaging ones is indeed commendable. This one started with Jack's interesting 'Two Samosa Theory' and our laziness to pack supper. Now there were we, waiting for the train to halt so that we can hunt the platform for any cafe/stall. We probed the vicinity until the train's siren; got back onto the boogie; to find that George is yet to board the train back. Poor thing was busy buying the idlis, unaware of short duration of the halt. "Run you Idiot", we all screamed in unison. George scrambled his way and somehow managed to get hold of the rod to get in. Sssshhhuuww. (Kudos if the DDLJ scene flashed your mind. Yes, something similar to the photo below :p). Alas! even though we had George back in train, the idlis weren't :(. But the saying `` दाणे दाणे पे लिखा है खाने  वाले का नाम '' has seriously got some x-factor in it. Seeing our George's dismal efforts at getting the idlis in, an angelic woman offered us fried rice and boy! weren't those awesome :).  Planning the Bangalore trip, thrashing Colin over and over again in the game of court, chit-chats about Malaika, were highlights of rest of the journey.

Life isn't easy. All the plannings got a low blow, when the pleasant Bangalore morning awestruck-ed us with 

• Diesel prices have been hiked by INR 5.00
• KSTRC is on strike today.

What! Fuck! KSTRC strike! today!!! Oh dear God, why, why only today. The whole Majestic wore a dull look. It was like a 40 inch Full HD Television in Grayscale! All we could see were a few hot beautiful reporters gathering crowd to make some Friday morning breakfast news! 

We then went to Huey's Palace, roamed about the near-by places until Jack met with a tragic blow! (Ohho, not what you are thinking ;), its was just that his slippers broke.) Yes, you guessed it right :p, his slippers broke. Unfortunately (yes, you read it right, UNFORTUNATELY), there was a Bata showroom near-by.

Who on this green earth would had guessed that Jack was on his path to set a guinness world record. I take this opportunity to congratulate, my friend, Jack for selecting the his favorite pair from half-a-dozen-choices in less than 115mins 54secs. Colin had a vital role in helping Jack cross a century of minutes for making the selection. The night was full of fun beauties, as we visited the live wire of Bangalore, i.e. Brigade Road :) 

Dewey had booked tickets for Coorg, which indeed is an alluring place. It was pleasing to see George and Huey's eyes full of tears of joy when we climbed up an hillock told assuming it to be a sun-rise point. Though it wasn't a sun-rise point, we were astonished to find an elephant, dog, pig and even a bear on the hillock ;). This was followed by a magnificent waterfall. Yes, tall splendid, statuesque waterfall indeed. Look at the picture below to assert these adjectives. 

Abbi Falls, Coorg.

The clock struck and it was time for the most awesome sport in Coorg i.e. river-rafting. River-rafting is so much fun, especially during winter times when the rivers have abundant water. The thunderous gurgling of the river increases the thrill exponentially!

The deal had been finalized; 7.5 km of river-rafting; They say revenge is better served cold and it was time to awestruck people hotties of Bangalore. No, we didn't fail. The jaws of all beauties on the river-bank dropped when they saw 6 semi-nude super-sexy hulks boys walking down the bank. It was a marvelous experience. rowing; swimming; racing; shouting-like-hooligans; crashing-into-other-boat-pirate-style; Mind blowing!

Experience must have been more mesmerizing for George and Dewey as they got to mingle with girls from the other boat, when the boats crashed into each other ;).

The post is getting too long now. I must stop. Congratulations if you have read it till here :). Excuse me for mistakes (of any sort), i made while writing this post. There are many more incidents to share, will write the other volumes later :). Till then keep the following two points in mind.

1. Make sure your workplace has a good foosball table. If you don't play foosball, then please do. 
2. Never play foosball if both teams are equally matched! Your game may not end or will have a very long deuce. 

Enjoy :)

P.S. Even if you guess the people behind these dummy names, do not comment it. I know you are an intelligent beast.
