After all these monotonous working days, last weekend, me, Sridevi, Srikar, Shalini and Anji planned for a one day trip to Shivasamudram (its a worth visiting place for all the nature lovers). This was 125kms away from Bangalore and as far as I know, it is the second largest waterfalls in India and sixteenth largest waterfalls in the world. Though I was badly reluctant to get up early in the morning, Sri imposed me to take bath and get ready by 20 minutes and yeah, all this was a pretty planned trip as we started at sharp 7.15 A.M from BTM and thus we are just proud of our punctuality. We booked a Cab from our home and within an hour we reached Maddur where we had delicious breakfast in a Karnataka style restaurant. And after that, we started playing games, listening as well as singing to songs, commenting on each other and had a great fun. Then, we reached Shivasamudram at around 11.30 A.M. 
Actually there are two waterfalls by which Shivasamudram is segmented into left and right.., the first and left one is "Gaganchukki" . This was just stupendous. The sound, the view, the water made us serenely quiet. We spend some time by taking snaps and gossipping on. And then, there is a cascading waterfalls, the right one named "Barachukki". I guess this is the apt season as their flow is pretty enormous and roaring. By seeing these amazing falls, all of us were thrilled and ran near to them, had a trip through a small boat that in turn tempted us to go and have a dip in it. We just broke the rules and cautions over there and completely drenched in the clean water with "Who cares" attitude :). The only tragedy caused by the lovely falls here is all of our mobiles stopped working as we forgot to put them aside and have taken them into water along with us, we had taken our mobiles with us. And a few applauds to Anji as he saved the lives of 2,3 fellows. There we started going back in the afternoon at 2.30 P.M. We were badly hungry and vexed. 
On the way back to Bangalore, as we had ample time, we also decided to go to TALAKAD, a town surrounds with many interesting legends, I don't know much about its history but I came to know that it is famous for five Shiva temples and sand dunes from Shalini, as this naughty girl kept on slandering about the greatness of this place :P. We visited all the five temples, and here, Anji and Shalini were pretty interested in knowing about all the mysteries behind this place and so they took the help of a guide who speaks only in Kannada(he does not know either Telugu, Hindi or English) :P. They tried hardly in understanding his language even though both of them don't know Kannada, at the same time, Srikar was on phone, trying badly to explain his girl friend the beauty of these places, Sridevi was behind Anji and Shalini jotting a few points about the history as if there was a seminar :P, and yeah, I was busy in eating coconut and asking the guide some doubts in Kannada :P. We also had a small shopping and That's it. Then, it was 7.00 P.M, we started back to Bangalore with no more halts except at Mc.Donald's to have our dinner and reached home at 11.30 P.M. 
It was the one and only trip in Bangalore which we are proud of for making it the most memorable and cherishable with our default enthu and thrill. And I suggest people in Bangalore to go and enjoy this sceneric natural beauty!!!
