Stopping by the Woods on a Rainy Evening - III
Shiva's Samudra
Then we headed to Shivana Samudram. A steep descent and cool, rushing waterfalls caressing the tired and weary muscles. Some people resisted the temptation, i have no idea how ?! Its hilarious to see what games an empty stomach plays on our minds. There were a lot of synthetic food on sale over there, but i chose wild bitter berries sauced with chilli/lemon paste over them and ate them too. In fact i rather enjoyed eating them just like centershock chewing gum!
Maddur vada & Dusk
Epilogue
The most special thing about this trip was that most of the things about it was not planned beforehand. Well, i think this was a good way to demonstrate that smart decisions can be reached in nick of time and its not always that if a discussion has many members, the decisions will not be unanimous. 
Its unplanned nature also gave a juvenile fabric to the trip, where everyone had a say and no one was treading down a beaten path or being vetoed out by some invisible pre-determination. In my opinion the credit should go to the accomodating attitude of Sitesh and Deepthi and the fact that though Deepthi knew Kannada, yet Sitesh put the onus of translation on Harish thereby bringing all of us into descision making roleplay. No wonder it was a great success.
Though physically tired after the trip, i feel mentally reinvigorated. Also last but not the least, i made some great friends.

Finally, we reached Maddur. There we had lunch. And then a swift drive back to Bangalore amidst Antakshari and omnipresent flashing cameras.
