The 120km Kanva Adda Trip: Chasing Off a Snake, Forcibly Throwing a Friend into the Water, and Sharing the Dam with a Buffalo | Chapter 14 (May 23, 2010)

14) Kanva Adda : ( 23/5/10)


We had finished our theory exams and it had been about a month since we went outta town… I was down with cold and severe headache…
Morning 11am..
TRING TRING
“maga , going out, not returning till 7pm, what say?”
Arvi-“says GO!! GO!!GO!!”

Arvi and Arun came to my house by 11:30-12… Then we left.., 1st stop was arcade mall for lunch. I stepped into McD`s for the 1st time in my life…had proper lunch. Place was still not decided… it was either Mekedat,Muthathi,Chunchi,Manchinbele Or “Kanva”.

Finally we decided to go to kanva , the sun was on god mode…. We drove at a good pace and reached ramnagar, we took a right at the traffic junction and followed the road and reached Kanva in 15-20mins.

We wanted to get down at a different part of the reservoir this time… whew!! Couldn’t wait ..( IT was burning HOT).. we put our bags down.. then water bottle… then a few stretches… when we were about to get down… a snake swam past is with its head above the water…!! :D :D .. .we look at each other… “ NO FRIKKIN WAY!!!!” took our bags , and went back to our regular spot :)

Once we reached the spot , Arun refused to get into the water , Arvi and myself decided to go ahead … outside it was real hot… took one step into the water… it was shivering cold :(

Somehow managed to get inside the water completely.. we started working out a plan to drag Arun into the water ( DRAG THE WATERS- Pantera \m/).. we threw huge stones and anything we found near Arun so that atleast he be half wet then :P

Finally we caught hold of him and threw him into the water…. I started shivering big time.. head ache was getting worse every second… Then came a huge-fat buffalo … it walked right into the water and collapsed into the water let out a huge breath… and started relaxing in the water near us… we were a little scared :(

Then Arun threw a stone near it …it turned its head and saw us… we were like “Guru .. u enjoy your holiday.. we’l do the same … sorry for the disturbance !!!” time was about 4pm.. . we decided to get out of the water… this time I had taken the towel..and 3 apples :) we sat in the sun munching apples…

My headache and cold got even worse... but we went on chatting about movies.. blah blah!! Then I dozed of for an hour or so… then I woke up…. Then something flashed.. “ Maga don’t we have practicals tomorrow??” , “DucK it”….

We drove back to BengalooorOOO in about an hour…. Reached home at 7 or something..sneakedd into my room… removed my shoes.. said Hi to Alexi… next thing I remember is waking up in the morning…. :P

PLAN:

This was the “MOTHER OF ALL TRIPS”. It had been one month since our last trip. 26th April was Ashok’s B’day and we wanted to make it a memorable one. So we thought of going to maddur for breakfast ( though I had other plans, I didn’t tell it to anybody, or else it would have become a Flop).

25th morning 6:30 am, the most shocking thing took place , Arun shows up 1st :D :D, I stood there with my jaw fallen down on the ground . Next Arvi made it to my place, but the b’day boy was stuck in a traffic jam :(, finally he came at 7am.

RIDE:

The drive to maddur is pure heaven, Arvi and arun were always ahead of us because I was driving my bike :P. It reminded me of our 1st super awesome trip, I was telling stories like a grandma to Ashok all the way!! Within no time we reached Maddur and we visited out regular adda “Maddur tiffany’s”.

We ate like Hippo’s , 1st round masala dosa, 2nd round rava dosa, then vada, and then caaapeee :D.. After that we ( ok it was only me actually) played on the swing for sometime outside the hotel. Then I told them about visiting kanva.. they agreed right away ( see sudden plans always works)

Then the journey to kanva began, we reached Ramnagar 1st.. then took a left from there .. and a 15-20kms ride from there.. we reached kanva at about 11:30 am…Arvi ,arun and myself decided to give ashok the best bday beating ever!!! So 1st all Nice nice wishes… Thank u thanku… and all shit!! Then the real fun began .

KANVA GAMES:

I was shit scared to get down in the water, I called arun and arvi and told them to throw ashok into the water 1st . hearing this Ashok started running in water.. he went …he went… and he kept on going.. far far away in the water.
Arvi and arun caught him and gave him th BB of his life and threw him into the water.. finally all 4 of us were in the water belting the crap out of each other!!!

Now this was totally a stupid move , we caught ashok by his hands and legs and threw him into the water, then arun said he was heavy.. then me with full excitement “ hey im the lightest here , it’l work perfectly on me!!” all 3 of them turned towards me and gave big-bad-evil-devilish Smiles… they caught me and threw me atleast 6 feet in the air, i crashed into the water… this happened about 3-4 times :) Then we played the longest breadth game... then some rock paper scissors :) :).

RIDE BACK:

Then at about 12:30pm , after a good 1.5hrs of water sports, we were tired … we didn have extra clothes or towels.. so just sat in sun for sometime chatting away!
Finally when we were half dry we headed back to Bengaloorooooo , it was a good 60km drive on mysore road.

We reached home in the noon. Arvi and arun left to their homes, ashok had lunch at my home and stayed till evening and then left.

One of “THE” best days, was totally exhausted and collapsed to sleep. Next day we had college, Arvi and myself bunked a few hours and got the best cake and arranged a kickass surprise party!!!

It was a perfect one day trip
