Trip with Cousins.... :)

Have been planning this trip for 1 year, no its more than 3 years we all are trying to make this trip... Me and Deepana have tried several times to fix this trip and always unsuccessful... Because of timing issues... Everyone is busy in their own world and work.. Finally everyone took a decision on this and day came in where we had to leave.. Friday night packed my bags and couldn't sleep out of excitement... Saturday morning rushed in to dodama house and parked my bike there and all set to start... :D Satishanna, Vanitha attige, her ajji, and Sudhanshu and Shubhankar(Terrors) started..... On our way we had plans to visit Sidalingeshwar temple..... We started at around 6.30 AM... Ofcourse once Satishanna is behind the steering wheel he rips the road apart.... :) Can experience the fast and furios movie :D:D.... We stopped by the temple and visited it and there was one small pond in the park area attached to the temple. That pond had a small bridge to walk in between the water which lead to a Devi statue and had small area around the devi statue to just circle around it.. It was really beautiful.... Was time to start the clicks.. :) Took few picks and started from there... On our way we stopped for breakfast and reached Hassan 10... We dropped ajji and we thought we were running late to catch up with rest of the crowd and rushed to my place. We were the first to reach.. Ofcourse Sid and Sanganna were all ready since morning... Plans were made to reach the homestay around 12 in afternoon.. By the time Sanjanna,Champa attige,Dev, Suniyanna, Geeta attige came in and we could only leave hassan by 1.30 PM... All the kids jumped into Sanjanna's Bolero...Whole while till we reached Hassan, while discussing route, Vanita attige kept on saying she won't sit in gaadi for 1 Km in the first Ghat section... I promised to walk along with her too...  Funny part is we never had to go through that route..  We took a de-route and left.. On our way i saw board to Rottikal.. I had been to Rottikal few years ago with my HP gang.. Was one hell a trip.. was awesome one..... 

We reached the Hullimakki Homestay around 2.45 PM.. Lunch was all ready to serve.. Nice and hot Parathas, two curries, rice,curd and sweets and what not... Nice and Yummm foood was served and we hogged... :D now next plan of action was going to the water stream to play.... Already Sanganna had warned us not to expect a Big water fall and stuff.. So we were prepared for a small stream there... we were taking a shortcut to reach that place.. It was one real small stream of water flowing, slippery mud around it and we walked alkmost inside that stream... with all my nephews screaming and yelling, we all managed to reach the place. It was one beautiful spot.. wooow it was... All of us were all set to enter water... I took few clicks and was all set to get inside water..... Anna's all went inside first and found out that we could sit right behind the falls too.. we all got near to the falls and trust me it was soooooooooo delighful experience... We did have Vanitha attige and Satishanna, getting "FALLS THERAPY" done... force of water was soooo much of fun... As usual Sid was scared and crying to get inside water.... Sudhanshu, Shubhankar, Dev were all inside water and enjoyed it sooooooooo much.....After few hours of playing there we headed back on the same track back to the home-stay.... same slippery, muddy, water path... was lot of fun... Moment we came back people realised there were leeches.. :D Sanganna and Sudhanshu had got bites of leeches...... We all came back and changed and time was for tea and coffee and snacks......
We came back and we all planned to see the sunset. Option was to go by the Open Gypsy.... Trust me WHAT A DRIVE... we all were sitting and standing and enjoying the roads.... finally he took reverse gear and we all were rising on one of the small hill.... Wooow it was.. We didn't get to see sunset bcoz of clouds, but certainly got few nice clicks of everyone...Did take few family snaps... I did have lots of help on photography by all the terrors... Especially Dev and Sudhanshu.... While climbing downhill i fell... Fast and wuick response "Preethi ge guda bardu kodi pls"( I own that hill now ;))
After that we played RING and Frisbee... And thanks to all the energy people were playing with both of it were on the roof top of the home-stay.... Finally Sanju helped us and got those things back... we played a looooooot.... cricket,football,ring,frisbee, chain cut and what not..... all tired we relaxed for a while.. by 7 all these guys started rushing to sakaleshpur to pick Pooja back to homestay.. We loitered around for another sometime and they were back... There was campfire and singing and ofcourse dancing.. Suniyanna started it which passed on to everyone around.... Had nice Bajjis and another cofffee which i enjoyed.... We then had our dinner and it was time for bed time story.... Yeah all my nephews gathered around and i was supposed to tell them a bed time story..... I chose the story "Alibaba and Chaali Chor"... Thought i would tell our story quiet colorful... Thanks to Dev, he didn't let me to say about forty thieves at all.. He said "ibre kallru iddiddu, Ondu Avnu innondu Ivnu"... That means there were just two thieves, one is this and other is that.. The story stayed there circling around and didn't complete... Finally managed to finish the story and all of us were fast asleep....


Morning was all welcomed by one nice strong coffee.. we were deciding on eat and then go for trek or trek first.. finally we all went on trek after bfast.... We started towards moorkannu gudda... Most of us on Gypsy and rest bros on sanjanna's bolero.... The gypsy had one funny thing with it, the lock was broke, it used to get opened every few mins.... and we had to lock it up... Finally suniyanna sat on it and he said it wont opne now... trust me that worked, it didnt open.. We went to a temple.. its one very old temple of shiva.. After that we moved on to the trek.... We climbed one hill and one more to go... All my bros said they woul ndt come ahead but relax there... Saw Sudhanshu running and climbing the hill soooooo quick and he did climb and get down atleast  5 times.. he has lots of energy.. So me and my bhabhis started to climb the second hill.. This was one steep climb... it was beautiful on the top of the hill and we enjoyed the climb uphill and downhill too....  While coming back Suniyanna fell.. :D "Suniyanna ge Gudda bars kodi" he he he.. he own another hill now.... i was laughing out loud..We came back and went to a pond near the temple.. Its filled with lots of fishes.. People feed fished there.. We did too... Our terror gang enjoyed it... we came back and one Tempo traveller was blocking sanjanna's gaadi.... He got into it and moved it and got the way cleared... He said it was fun..... 


Came back to home-stay , ate and ate and took rest for a while... Played again all the games on the list.... and coffee and we all were set to leave to Hassan.. Another plan was being laid... Will all gather at Satishanna's farmhouse... :D Sanjanna's family couldnt make it to this gathering though....We all went to hassan and from there another gathering started.... Cooked and ate and finally played the Housie game..... Trust me Sudhanshu was one winner in it... Whoever won row,full house or anything.. he would get his share.. He made THE MONEY... :D I am not good with that game ever... Finally we all slept late and next day all of us had to get back to our busy life and work..... 
Missed Deepanna, Pratibakka , Sandesh and Sudhyanna .. Hope to make it next time with all of us....
This was one awesome break... Enjoyed every bit of it..... Satishanna, Vanita attige, Sudhanshu,Shubhankar,Suniyanna, Geeta attige,Sanganna, Pooja, Sidd, Sanjanna, Champa Attige, Dev and ofcourse me... Three cheers to all of us... :)
