NANDI HILLS-Karnataka



I went for a trip with three of my friends on 15th Aug 2005 to Nandi Hills, located 60 kms north of Bangalore, Karnataka. We started at around 8.00 am on our bikes (Black Pulsars)... There was no traffic on the roads as it was a holiday and morning too...

The best part of the trip was the journey by road…It was NH 7 Hyderabad Road...

Once out of the city limits our bikes touched 90-100 Km/hr... After 45min of journey we reached the foot hills of the Nandi Hill... It was really exciting to ride through the hair pin bends on the way uphill.

There is nothing much after reaching the hill top other than monkeys and
Yoga Nandishvara Temple. Climate is the most important thing that we enjoyed there. It was really cold and foggy.. Near the temple there are few small shops, where you can have coffee and snacks but monkeys are a nuisance..

On the way back to
Bangalore, we saw a small hill... I along with one of my friend s decided to explore it... We went up the hill , took few snaps and came down and started again ... there were few small dhabas along the high way, we decided to have lunch in one of them... the food is really good in those dhabas… you do get Chilled beer also…after having food and beer we started back to Bangalore…

Thus, the Independence Day Celebrations Came to an End

Noida Serial Murders

The mind perplex at the coldness of Moninder Singh Pandher who can sexually abuse and then kill a child. But then there is the argument of mental sickness or psychotic mind. But what explains the coldness of an entire administration? Does it take bag full of bones to get an administration to act? Wailing mothers tell the story of how the police barely heard them out when they reported their children missing. Perhaps because their parents were not big shot.

The unpleasant Nithari story of missing children and incomplete skeletons dumped into a drain tears into the heart. Especially when we recall the recent story of another missing child -- Anant Gupta, who was kidnapped in November 2006 and found within four days. Had the authorities acted with the same rage when they went missing, perhaps they too -- some of them or all -- would have been saved from a brutal death. They certainly deserved to live as much as Anant or any other innocent little child deserves to.
