Shimsha......

My memories about Shimsha is all from a high school trip, where in they took us to the falls, to the power plant, sugar factory in Mandya... It was a education tour.. I still remember how astonished i was to see how the power plant looked like.. Huge turbines, Huge machinery.. Was a wow experience..

This rainy season is done wonders with all the waterfalls,reservoirs.. Everywhere the dams are full and the waterfalls are a candy for the eye... Was planning to visit shimsha since few years and couldn't ever make it..There was a plan being knitt at office and boom i was a part of the plan too... Was down with fever the previous day and wondered if i could make it.. That day i decided I will go there somehow... I did manage to make my mind and leave to shimsha..

Trip was planned for 8 people(Shankar,Rohit,Ajay,Arnab,Soumya,Priyal,Happy and Me) and we went ahead and booked a vehicle.. Discussing about the logistics and the places to cover, whole afternoon went on that.. we decided to go on Independence day.. All of us planned to leave around 9 and managed to gather by then too.. Entered Manyata, saw a big celebration happening for Independence day for the security guards for Manyata... Surprised to see a huge number... Clicked few clicks of flag and the colourful Rangoli on the entrance of the Manyata.. Parked our vehicles in K block and still trying to figure about who is on time and who's not..  Me,Soumya,Arnab,Shankar,Rohit were all set and Ajay,Priyal,Happy got the vehicle where we were... Vehicle had 2 big India Flags tied on front.. Started our journey finally at 9.30... stopped over for idly and dosas... moment we sat on the vehicle.. THE NEXUS SAAGA began.. We were 4 Nexus Vs 3 Samsung....Fight between Soumya,Ajay Vs Arnab Priyal was noticeable... People speaking pro samsung and pro nexus started a WORD WAR.... It went on and on and on till i guess we crossed kanapura.. Pros and cons and what not... Highlights are something I really can't remember to put it :P ..... Best part of the whole conversation, i was untouched(though i own a nexus) bcoz people wanted good clicks.. :P He he he he... and i was considered Gurumaata and not to be talked about... ha ha ha ha... We reached Gaganachukki by 12.30 and we went to the place where the falls can be seen from the distance which is basically the main view of the falls.. Because it was independence day place was soo crowded.. We managed few clicks here & there... And of-course how could i leave Ajay aside.. He was nice to me for the reason of good clicks...

It was time for us to go to the next part of trip where we need to go near the falls and go where exactly the falls start... We gathered and started to that place.. We reached there and that place was soo ill maintained.. There was no maintenance, it was stinking .. but we wanted to go near the falls.. We somehow managed to go near the falls and trust me crossing all that was worth it.. It was so beautiful out there.. So very beautiful.. Treat to an EYE.. i took few clicks and i wanted to go near the falls.. But was lil worried about carrying camera there.. Anyways i did manage to go little near to the falls and those clicks gave me goosbumps.. That place was the place i wanted to click. I really missed having a better lens.. But never mind i did manage lots of clicks... :) and again the potraits were shot. :D of all especially Ajay's... All in all that falls was worth a visit.... We spent a lot of time there... and it was already 4 when we started from there.... We dropped the idea of going to talakaadu.. may be next time..

Way back no better than the Nexus fights... :P Fights started on.. but i guess we all were tired to talk too much on that.. I dont know if it was a win for Nexus or Samsung, But it was big tie between Arnab and Ajay... I was always forgiven off the topic since i am called Gurumaa...Trip with all these guys was so much fun.... Had real fun.... :) Hope to go some more places...
