PLAN & RIDE TO MADDUR:
It was 2 days since my b`day , it was the 13th of June…time 7am… All the Loapers assembled at my place. We decided to go to Maddur for breakfast and return back. So it was Maddur… we left … the drive to Maddur is simply amazing… Good road ( SH17 \m/) We reached Maddur in an hour or so.



We started eating like Pigs!!!! :D we were 4, there were about 8-10 plates at our table!!! :D :D really really really proud… Had a kikass breakfast and then we all decided to go to Kanva – Our Adda … we wanted to get down on the other side of kanva this time…

 

KANVA GAMES:




Ashok and myself climbed up a huge boulder to get a glance at the entire reservoir…. After finding a perfect Spot…. We inspected the place for snakes or any other kind of danger!! When everything was clear we parked our bikes … Arvi and Arun refused to get down into water… I was already in it :P . I dragged ashokey in the water too :D



Arvi found a beer bottle … he threw it high up into the sky and the 1st one to catch it is the winner…and the GAMES began \m/…we had to get hold of it 1st!! ( Had to be extra careful not get under he bottle , didn’t want our skulls busted open)
The game went on for an hour so… by then all four of us were at the center of the reservoir!!! Finally it was 2 vs 2 now…. This didn’t go on for long…Arun threw the bottle right at Arvi`s hand… and it became numb!!!

RAIN GOD:




After tat I got out of the water since it was getting real cloudy… it would have taken atleast an hour to dry up completely!! As soon as I got out … it started pouring cats !!! The heavy winds made it more like standing in a rain of bullets :D




Ran towards our bikes put all our things at one place and covered it with leather jacket !!! then sat down and enjoyed the awesome view ( Didn’t have any other choice :P ) After 45min of strong wind and rain… it was kinda peaceful again… then we witnessed an amazing sight … half of the reservoir was getting rain the other half wasn`t :D


RIDE BACK AND McD SURPRISE:
Then we left towards Bangalore in wet clothes and wet shoes… entered McD`s only in leather jackets and pants …. Hair totally messed up . wet shoes :P :P
All people there wanted us 4 badly out of that place as quickly as possible :D :D
Had nice lunch and returned back home!!!!

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
