Last Saturday, I was part of a 15 member gang heading towards Shivanasamudra and Talakad. The gang was none other than my office mates. The trip kicked off with me pulling a argument with my office security for not allowing me park my cycle because I was wearing shorts and he did not allow me in. What the hell!! I have worked in office with shorts many times in the past 2 years and where did this *new* rule come from??? After some quarrel, he then allowed us to park the cycle inside. Somebody tell this moron “Security” that this is not a firm that has “Dress Code”!!! Actually the trip started a bit on the dull side (atleast for me); may be because I had passed the same place on Bikes during the Independence trip or may be my body was begging for rest from the excess work and traveling that I have been doing for quite sometime. To top it, Shivanasamudram was kinda disappointing. The falls is amazing and all, but where is that excitement????

After reaching talakad at around 1330 hrs, we started playing volleyball, frisbee and dived into the river to play a game of water polo Yeah, the trip’s mood changed. We had lunch and then headed to explore the temples of the nearby forest area. The architectures and sculptures are really worth mentioning here. Returned back to Bengalooru at around 10 PM.
