Call from Vamshi

From yesterday, I don't know what happen to me. I am missing my family, frnds. I don't if I am upset with my work or for the reason it was not rained. Something is wrong with me. But I am happy only for one reason i.e. Bhargav is coming today from MUMBAI. It has been three and half month we meet.

Morning, I got a call from Vamshi (colony frnd).
By the time I answered his call, he started scolding me (mental, waste fellow, don't you have sense, Are you Alive blah blah...) for more than 2 - 3 mins.

Actually, it has been long time we spoken in phone. Today he called me, so he got a chance to scold me. Every time it happens with us.

I just smiled for everything. Again he started saying "shameless"

After few seconds he said" How are you girl? I just saw your newly uploaded pics in ORKUT"

We continued the conservation for another 20mins. At last we planned to meet on this Saturday.
It has been so many days I met those two IDIOTS who I know from past 6 yrs.

To know about those Two Idiots (Vamshi and Sati)

DAY 4: @ Bangalore

It our last day in Bangalore.

We went to Radhika house.The rest of the day till 5:00 pm was spent shopping with Radhika. Quite the experience in bargaining. I brought four Cotton dress and two Kutis.

All in all it was an outstanding trip that I am very happy to have had the opportunity to see the Dasara festival in Mysore. Many thanks are due to Radhika for making my trip most memorable, my parents and Bhargava for letting me go and the Radhika Uncle’s family for taking awesome care of me and hospitality. The trip has been amazing 'cause I got to know many people. The whole experience is so wonderful and refreshing.

DAY 3: @ Mysore

Morning was So Pleasant. Before leaving from the GuestHouse we have taken some more photos and reached Nanjangud.

Nanjangud -

It is located at a distance of 23kms from Mysore. Here we visited the Nanjundeshwara temple of Lord Shiva.

On the way to Mysore ,tour contuined with a brief visit to the Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Ahrama. It was quite boring.

Jayachamarajendra Zoological Garden -

After our lunch we visited Mysore Zoo. One should visit this place in Mysore. Main attractions are the white tiger, giraffe, zebra, different species of birds etc. I have captured max number of pics. Now my Camera battery showed 2 points.The park is around 5 kms and it taken one and half hr to cover.

400th Jambu Sawari procession -

This is the main reason for my visit to Mysore. We were late. By the time we reached the street where the procession take place was fully crowded. While some perched atop the roadside trees, some on terrace, others were standing on the Vehicles which are parked road side. We too tried to get into a lorry but all of them were full. I was very much disappointed. Fortunately, a jeep driver came along with her wife to watch to the procession. We requested him and climbed up on the top of the Jeep. It started raining (7-8 mins).

There was huge screaming and whistling once the Balarama (53-year-old elephant) appeared. The 750 kg golden 'howdah' (ornate carriage) with the idol of Hindu goddess Chamundeshwari was mounted on it. Balarama was accompanied by 11 other elephants and followed by horses, camels, cultural troupes. It was an awesome view and I can’t express my happiness and really enjoyed watching the traditional Jambu Sawari procession.

We thanked the Jeep driver and back to our Sumo with smiling faces. It has taken more than 30 mins to come out of the crowd and traffic.

Mysore palace -

We reached Mysore palace at 5:45 pm. Hundreds of Tourist and locals were there to see the lighting of Amba Vilas Palace. We waited patiently until 7 PM to watch the tremendous view of Palace with lights. The magnanimity and grandeur of the palace is absolutely breathtaking. I captured only two snaps of it due to low battery.

Mysore Exhibition -

We went to Dasara exhibition which is held in the exhibition grounds opposite to the Mysore
Palace. There were various stalls which sell items like clothes, plastic items, kitchenware,
cosmetics and eatables. It is not so good. Within half an hour we return back to our vehicle.

Mattae Sigona Mysore (meet you again sometime)

Due to lack of time we couldn’t able to visit few famous places in Mysore like Chamundi Hills, Ranganthithu Bird Sanctuary,Shivanasamudra Falls and St. Philomena's Church. And not even take a look inside the palace.

But over all I really had very good experience and sweet memories which stay for life long.. I will definitely plan another trip to Mysore may be after 2 – 3 yrs. (Hope Bhargav read this line).

On the way to Bangalore we had our dinner (Jeera rice and Dal fry) at some hotel. We were tried fully and slept like kids on others shoulders and laps. We used to change our sitting position for every 15 mins. It was 12:30 by the time we reached our house.

I must sign off now.

DAY 2: My Visit to MYSORE

I got up early at 5:30. After pooja at 8:15am we (Myself, Radika, Uncle's family and Suman(another cousin of Radika) were on our way again headed to our destination Mysore in Tata SUMO.After a long 2.5 hour drive we reached the outskirts of Mysore.

Melukote -

This place is located interior to the Bangalore - Mysore main road in the right side while going towards Mysore. We visited Sri Yoganarasimha Swamy temple which is located at the top of the hill.

Sri Cheluvanarayana Swamy temple -

It is located at the centre of Melukote. Before visiting Sri Cheluvanarayana Swamy temple, people can visit the Pancha Kalyani pond. Behind this temple, the sisters’ ponds (elder and younger sisters, Akka-Thangi kola) are located.

Raya Gopura –

The place where many films, especially Mani Ratnam’s have some scenes of this place (Barso Re Megha Megha, Movie : GURU).. An awesome place located at almost 3000 ft above sea level is located at almost end of the town and is situated close to Akka-Thangi kola. It is said that a Vijayanagara king took it as a challenge to complete the construction of the temple overnight; but he failed in doing so.

Srirangapatnam (13 kms from Mysore) -

The spot where Tipu Sultan was found dead after being killed in war during the siege of SrirangapatnamHere we visited Ranganathaswamy temple, which has the deity - Sri Ranganathar (Vishnu) in a sleeping posture.
I and JayaSree went on a horse ride for one round trip (only 3 mins) :’)

Brindavan Gardens -

In the evening around 7:30 we reached to the Brindavan Gardens in KRS Dam. Oh God! It seemed as if hundreds of people from Bangalore, Mysore and more had descended into the place. I couldnt imagine such a crowd . I guesss it was due to the Dasara. We watched the musical fountain – a short 15 min light and water show. The fountains were choreographed to latest hits and ended with a patriotic song

I slept like a log at night and woke up directly at 3.30 am the next day morning . I was woken up by the sound of Vani Shree alarm.

DAY 1 @ Bangalore

By the time we came out of the Station. There was a huge flower market on the road side (due to festival). It was like Bangalore welcoming me. he he he.

That morning I was fortunate enough to visit Radika Uncle's house. Uncle, aunty, JayaSree, VaniSree, Ajay (Cousins) and grand pap. All of them are very good. They managed to a lot to speak with me in Telugu (kannada mix).

We started our day visiting to ISKCON temple first. There was not much crowd. I love lord Krishna. It is a wonderful experience to be there and soak oneself in the devotion of Lord Krishna. One should go visit this temple.

We headed out a local market area called the Malleswaram market. I purchased cotton dresses for Deepthi, Santhi, and Sushma and for me also. I had a dosa at DOSA point which is very tasty. I loved it.

In the evening we headed for a more modern section of town. We visited to Garuda Mall. JayaSree joined us. Here, I brought clothes for Bhargav and for my sister.

In Bangalore the bus facility is very good. We brought one day bus pass and travelled whole day. We returned to our room and ended our first day visit to Bangalore with a smile. We had our dinner and went off to catch up sleep.

Trip to Bengalore

So much on my mind and so little time to blog... Okay, let me cut the scrap-

We, myself and my friend Radika (whose native is Andhra but her family settled in Bangalore from 40-45 years), had a fantastic holiday in Bangalore. This was my four days vacation (15th to 18th Oct) - away from work.

* * *
As we booked tickets in Ladies quota, we had good time with our co- passengers (ladies). After a long conversation about (Hyderabad vs. Bangalore, education, job, family) we had our dinner. The "choo chooo" of the train, middle aged women trying to get their children to sleep, Radika slept and me- with a bundle of emotions, thoughts in stark darkness... And that is how I like it. :)

DAY 1. Location: Yasvanthpur railway station, platform No.6

KhAlEjA Review (My View)

Good Morning Friends,

I am back with my movie review “KhAlEjA” as I told you in my pervious blog. This is Sandhya and you are reading my blog.

Yesterday I with my frnds (Phani, Rajeev, Akali, Madhav, George, and Yaswanth) watched it. We got tickets from Phani’s frnd who has contacts in BIG CINEMAS (Ameerpet).

Coming to movie:

Mahesh Babu acting is quite different from all his other films …… and he is amazing in his looks and performance throughout the film. He should have stayed clear of bad language and try to dance at least.

Dialogus are top notch, comedy is good in parts. (I enjoyed it.)

Anushka looks ok. Good job by Trivikram (director), the Shafi and Rao Ramesh (artists)

Music by Mani Sharma is average .Songs Pileche & Sada Siva are very good.

The film has no dull moments as such, one can enjoy the movie to the best if you just go as a normal viewer. Overall the movie is above average.

And the movie promotes the brands like:
-- Armani Products
-- Barista
-- Fast Track
-- Gemini TV ( PalleVelugu)
-- MORE supermarket
-- Orange Cabs
-- Pulsar
-- Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM
-- Reebok glasses
-- Thumbs up
-- UniverCell

Oh my God, my Team mate is watching me from behind (Bcoz I didn’t start working and writing some nonsense and other hand watching the Test Match Score on Sky sports. Sachin goes to his 49th Test hundred)That’s it from Sandhya for now…
Keep Smiling..!! Keep Blogging.!!

*RoBo* Review:

Hello World!!
Speed 10 tera hz.....memory 10 zeta byte......This is Sandy

Last Saturday (second day), I have watched this movie with my Roommate Radhika and her frnds. We got tickets from Radhika’s frnd’s (Satish) brother – in – law (who is the police) he he he..

Don’t compare RoBo with any Hollywood movies, Just watch it as a Tamil/Telegu movie then u all people will love it.

Movie is good..I really enjoyed watching 1st half of the movie, but somehow second half is little bit boring..they dragged it a lot...

Music by AR Rahman is very good. We can’t accept him to compose Rock and pip pop songs for Super star. Direction and graphics are good. Aish looks gr8. Sankar has done a good work. Rajini Sir done a excellent job at age of 60.

All in all, RoBo is a technically proficient movie and its worth watching

Now I want Toy frnd :’)

For more movie reviews (“KaLeJa “ most wanted movie in the Telugu industry. I am planning to it watch this weekend).
