The Trip to Nandi Hills!!!!!!

Where should i start? Mr. Pandey is again at a crossroad, having to choose between eying a haut airhostess and writing this entry. Currently sitting in a 2 Hr delayed flight back to Delhi writing the post with THE PEN borrowed from the same haut Airhostess!!! ;) ;)

As Bau would put it, Typical Boys. Kuch nahi ho sakta inka!!! :D :D

Anyways coming to the topic, planning the trip to Nandi Hills started a few months ago, Molie was always into going there for the sunrise; planning, cancelling with many a people, always pestering me to get more details and wishing that i was in BLR to accompany her on the trip. Much did i know that the trip was infact on the cards!!!

It all started with a Yes-No, Yes-No Syndrome, I was supposed to go into Silence on the previous night and do the Yoga+Meditation in the Morning. But true to say, bunking sessions of an advanced course and delaying the onset of Silence by a few hours was DEFINITELY worth it....

Nandi Hills is an amazing place and going there with your near and dear ones adds another cake on top of the cake!!! :) The serenity and sheer scenic beauty of the place takes your breath away. Somehow at Nandi Hills, i did not feel out of the ashram, both have an amazing aura and calmness in the wind, i wish i could do the 20-40-40 there itself!!!!

< Break > The airhostess is back.....
Traveling at a height of 38,000 Feet at 400 km/h with temperature outside at -47 Celcius. It gives me goosebumps while admiring the pretty bosom of the same hot airhostess as she serves dinner to my friends and countrymen!!!
Yeah yeah, i am sick; but what i have also learnt from Bawa at one of his Awesome sessions is that being crude at the core & being able to speak the awesome/awful things in your mind is a rare trait, and being able to do so also helps you bring out the +ve traits of your character as well.
Or maybe this Rs. 20 Spicejet Caffeine is giving me the kicks or maybe i am just trying to make my blog interesting!!! :D :D

Now getting back to the Hills, there are some things that i cannot write here, else my dearest sister Ms. Molshree Gupta with start shouting aloud of my feminine traits!!
But i have to write something right???
After sleeping at almost 1AM we had to get up at 3 to get ready for the trip. We had hired an Indica whose driver was i guess, no no i am sure was pretty drunk. :D :D Earlier i thought it was the sweet and sensual aroma of Tequila and Bacardi of Target's team event but to my misfortune, i guess it was the Desi Kannad Tharraa!!!! :| :| :|

The Trip was arranged by Mrinal, a fellow Sapient employee, an avid and exemplary photographer!! This guy saw the beauty in everything as soon as he got his hands on his SLR. Its really nice to see people follow their passion and hobbies in the midst of their busy work life, i guess this is what keeps you going!!!
Though Molie disagrees but even taking out my 5000 Kodak Super Crappy Digicam would have been an insult to Mrinal's SLR whose spare lens was twice as costly as my camera.
Then there was BBB - "Bhargava the Buddy Boy"... He seemed strikingly similar to one of Sapient Munich's director and started almost all of his sentences with "Buddy Boy". A wonderful guy none the less, totally enjoying every moment.
And on the bike there was Raju, for whom Mrinal was doing a matrimonial portfolio service (FOR FREE).
Wont disagree that i was also tempted to get some Matrimonial pics clicked myself!!!



Enough of useless reading, now for some good information, some quick tips and features of Nandi Hills.
  1. Nandi Hills is located 40-50 km from the New Airport on the outskirts of Blr, the drive is good but a little bumpy. And you need to be a decent Hilly Billy to take the car all the way to the hilltop.
  2. We had got a good decent crowd, but cant be sure with these bloody drunk Kannads. They can be drunk 24X7 man. So the fairer sex should not be going in small or all female groups.
  3. The entry gates and ticket sales open only after 6:00 AM. So no use reaching to early.
    Tickets costs are normal. Car-80, Bike-15, and ppl-5 per head.
  4. TAKE a Jacket & Umbrella along, it can rain anytime and its really cold up there at this hour.
  5. Ruby smells really NICE, Ohhh sorry, let me introduce you to Ruby. She is the HAUT Airhostess I had been referring to all along. So Fly Spicejet!!! HA HA!!!
  6. Do drink the Yella Neeru... The fresh and chilled coconut water just made our day over the hill top.
  7. Take your own food, if you want it to be like a picnic, though you get food options up there as well, but not too sure of the taste/quality.
  8. You might find a few desperate couples here and there, looking for a sneaky session. But please, get a room for Gods sake!!!
  9. You can also Stay there, cottages are at just Rs. 300 a night. So it is a good weekend getaway as well!!!
  10. We went for Sunrise, sunset can be even better, so that's an option too.
So cheers... Cheers to Nandi Hills and Ruby the Air Hostess!!!!!
