dhaaaaande nere poyaal nandi hills

Nandi hills was never on the radar initially...we looked around a few blogs and saw nandi hills but then Paul's experience vetoed it down..all it had was a few hills, mist and a lot of wind... and finally masinagudi it was..
23 ppl at masinagudi...mmm sounded to good to be true..anyways went ahead with it..the first ominous signs came with the rain...but then positive thinking a.k.a shubapti vishwasam won the day...
after numerous calls and a long period of a tense silence, everyone started preparing for the get togethor....as the deadline neared, things started happening all of a sudden...a few mails exchanged, and a day later masinagudi was thrown to the bin..
popular opinion was for B'lore and that meant we were exactly where we started a month ago..
Nandi Hills suddenly didnt seem such a bad option after...it had beautiful hills...lotso mist...a superb breeze all day long..and was so close to the city...How come we missed it in the first place?????
Enough of flashbacks.... The trip was hotting up, ppl catchin up on the latest gossips, and so was everyone's hunger..everyone wanted to reach the hills fast...the bread,butter and jam was tempting ...and the calls from within were getting stronger... but nature has these strange ways of making u forget u r self



The climb up the hills began just like that...and in a few minutes the views began to emerge..the grey skies over distant bangalore...the mist covered top of the hills and the trees lining the winding roads....the windows were drawn as the breeze picked up....
The mist thickened as the mazda wound its way..some beautiful views and some beautiful couples later we wound up at the end of the road on the top..
the mist was smothering and after a bone chattering walk outside, everyone's hunger came roaring back...a cozy lunch within the van...bread, butter and Jam ..felt a lot like college..make do with whatever is available, if not try and grab from someone else..
Lunch done , everyone was raring to go..after all there were going to be just a few steps to climb anyway........
