Joga Gundi...

I knew tht 'gundi' meant 'button'..So i kept wonderin y everybody calls the jog falls as joga gundi....Well,what i did'nt know was tht 'gundi' also means the depth of the falls!!!
From there to now being able to quote Dr.Rajkumar,i sure have come a long way in kannada "literature",thanks to my faltu friends!!! :)

sayo munche jeevanadalli omme nodi joga gundi
--Dr.Rajkumar.............

I wondered what so much hype was all about!!! Anyone who had been to jog falls recently couldnt stop raving abt it!!! They would just go on n on n on n on n on n...........on n on..... abt how it is the perfect season to go thr n abt how beautiful the waterfalls look!!! It even had me to the extent of thinkin,what havent u seen ur lil nephew pee??? heheh jus kiddin........... But with all tht hype surroundin it,when my friends decided tht all of us shd go on a trip to jog falls,i thought chalo,so NOW il know what tht "inexplicable beauty" as everyone called it is!!! I wanted to know what was the big difference.........i mean,y go to jog falls when u could probably see the photographs on every 2nd album on orkut!!! :)

AND i was jagged!!! It was amazing to look at the jog falls,flowin away to glory under the shining sun(yup,it was a sunny day!!). But the best part was when we had to lie down on the rocks n look down the falls...We were looking more than 9000 feet down and could see the falls all comin together n joining.....it looked like mist,or rather fog,was joining!!! Tht left us speechless for sometime....totally tongue-tied!!! And just when i thought tht was the best part,r guide told us tht as its a sunny day,u can walk down the rocks n reach the bottom of the falls n have a look. We started walkin down,without an idea of how tiring it could get.We had to trek for almost an hour,most of them started cribbin,but when we reached the bottom n could feel the water frm the falls sprinkling on our sweaty,dirty faces even when we were still at a distance from it,we knew it was all worth it!!! How beautiful it looked from there,nobody can possibly explain!!!So im not even gonna try explainin...................
But now i can say,tht even with all the hype surrounding jog,it still is one of the most under-rated beauties of karnataka!!!

I have always had this desire of travelling around the world..But as i sat in the KSTDC bus office n saw the photographs of all the places of karnataka,i realised how much more i had to see in karanataka only as yet!!! Heheh let alone the fact tht many of them(my bro included) think tht i still have a LOT to see in bangalore itself (bcoz im not a very good pub-map in the 'pub city' of the country!!! hehe ;))

And the trip itself!!! AMAZING!!! What a pity it was only for 2 days,though...
Everythin right frm the coffee (which they said tasted like hot water),or the toilets (which were so beautifully scented tht if once somebody visited it,he didnt need a mosquito repellant any more),the changing rooms( where 10 of us had to scrummage in),or the dustbins(for which u had to enter the pakkad room!!hehe),or the mungaru-male-bubbles,mungaru-male-halu,mungaru-male-guide,basically mungaru-male-everythin made the trip even more wonderful,if anything!!! :)

In a gist,a totally SUPERK trip!!! :)
