The man behind the plan for the Hogenakkal trip, Encounter Ekambaram* made our day on Sunday as we went on to decide about the trip to Hogenakkal on Sunday and we started planning about our trip on Friday after returning home from the office and we made sure we execute the plan successfully.
After many additions and deletions in the members for the trip, we finally came to the conclusion that only 8 of us (Chandru, Srivash, Peri, Prasanna, Manas, Darshan, Anandh and me) will be enjoying the trip. Encounter Ekambaram was having a tough time on Saturday as his stomach was upset after having some extraordinary food.
Let’s begin the Trip:
It was the day when every one will be sleeping till 10am, a bright sunny Sunday. We got up at 6am and began to prepare for our trip which we had decided to start from 6 30am. At around 6 45am everyone assembled in the place we had mentioned and we began our journey when the clock was striking 7. We felt the breath of the early morning and started moving towards Hogenakkal in a Tata Sumo which we had taken for rent from a travel agency.
On the course of the journey, we reached palacode at almost 9am and finished off our breakfast. We continued our journey and while traveling, we had great conversations going over and here is Zoo Zoo dog’s comment:
Cauvery originates from Himalayas
Oh my god! What a statement that he has learnt from his primary school. We were laughing for almost 15 minutes for this statement alone. Finally we reached Hogenakkal at almost 10 30am. There you can spot many people asking you,
Boat venuma sir (Do you want any boat sir)?
Being in a place where there are lots of boats for traveling in water, you cannot come across Hogenakkal without hearing them. On witnessing the crowd over there, our mood for enjoyment increased and we started moving to foray into the small boats (parisal in tamil) and initiate our enjoyment in water.
Catch a glimpse of the pictures in my next post.
While we were in water we were throwing the ball and playing in the running stream of water which dragged us from one place to another with its full strength, even with our 100% energy we could not go against the water. It was an awesome environment to have fun with the guys. When we were taking bath in the falls, Mastermind and Killer Shetty were wondering what was biting them in the water. Oops, Zoo Zoo dog, Nokia and Encounter Ekambaram were saying that it’s the fishes which were playing in our heals. Even Gabbar could feel it even though he was sitting on the rock and keep his legs in the water and taking snaps.
After the whole lot of entertainment and joy we had our lunch at almost 3pm and began to start to Bangalore again. Every one was almost dried up except Gabbar and Zoo Zoo dog. You can see them taking the pictures in the car:
