Chilled Out @ Madikere

Hey Guys,

Long wait is all over now, I am releasing, what all we did to make this trip a beautiful success.

“Chilled Out @ Madikere”


So, what are you doing for this weekend? , this was the question which was always tickling in head and I am sure this Q was also disturbing all your great brains. Some brains also get “confused” or leave a doubtful impact (I think all you guys understood to whose brain I am pointing to, yeah bullz-eye that’s our veeru’s doubt filled brain).

So we decided that, why not we go for outing on a perfect weekend? This spark for outing spread in such a way that all of our friends who were in “No Mans Land” from last 4 years popped up and started nominating themselves for this outing.

Kind of Joke:

For few days there were some critics passed, some said, is this a joke you are playing? Some of them didn’t even cared to reply to mails which were circulating 24/5 (24 hrs/ 5 working days). There are some awsome people who din’t even knew who are we, wanted to get involved in this great venture.

The Fire is Spreading & Burning Some…………….

So we made a brave and bold decision to turn this spark into a great fire (which now started spreading all over and also started burning some ………. ). We were not sure of which place to go, until we got Madikere guide in our hand.


2 Days before we stepped into TT (Tempo Traveler):

We got to know that some of our college girls (now friends) wanted to join us. Slowly our TT seats started to get occupied; I mean our “Team Madikere” started to build.

1 Day Before:

We started to collect info about charges that are going to be involved and about TT. And there were some issues encountered this day,

Sorry, I forgot to introduce Team Madikere members,

Myself: For those who don’t know me, I am Sunil. Others don’t think too much, why I have mentioned my name first? Its obvious guys, everybody wants to be known first (For good deeds). Comments on me are always welcome, coz I can’t comment on myself.
Dumma & Gumma: Dumma is our Fuggi urf (Do I need to mention that?) and Gumma is Dr. Laddu (Inventor of the great “Uppitu” ) urf Ravi.
Adii & A.L : Mr.Adii Ready to get engaged and Mr. A.L V engaged and preparing to get “Barbadh” (Coz Shadhi is Barbadhi).
Veeru & Sanjeev : The Great Buzzed Brain (zara hatke), who always carries a board which says “Doubtful Brain or Brain full of Doubts….its still Doubtful”. Sanjeev “EverReady To Pose” has great ideas in mind like how to pose in front of camera and also knows how to get a snap of tourist girls without their knowledge.
Reena, Shilpa, Swapna Ji & Swapna Ji. Yes Oops!! Be. Yes : Our “Trip Rockers”, without whom our trip would be as untuned music (as our fuggi sings, he is good at this). Reens & Swapna G literally danced away the trip. Vijaylakshmi urj Shilpa urj VJ, spent all the time filling doubts in our veeru’s mind and was also finding some reason to………….Swapna B.S our “Good night lady”, who spent all the journey sleeping inside the TT else on the roof.

Oof!!........Now back to issues, adii was tied up by his mom, VJ was going for Unix Certification, Myself with new project and veeru with his world of doubts.

In spite of all these burdens we went for outing in a Bang!!..........

Day of Trip:

Morning I was warned by two hefty persons the dumma n the gumma, that I should any how make myself available to this trip.

Everyone was eagely waiting to see TT in front their gates.

When I returned room, I saw that all our half washed clothes being fully washed away by rain. Thanks for Raki n Sandy who helped us by bringing all our drained clothes.

Veeru came to our room with a big bag full of clothes, in which not even a single pair of outfit was useful………..Our veeru was eagerly waiting for so called Shilpa (VJ’s Friend)………Shilpa is none other then our VJ itself.

Ok, this was the story of our room. I don’t know what all happened in others rooms.

We picked up all our belongings and got into TT & picked up all our Team Madikere members.

Our TT didn’t even crossed Bangalore, our trip rockers started kicking TT floor with their dance steps. I was fed up of listening to Veeru’s Collection (Himesh Songs)…….(Hey, veeru are you Himesh’s Fan? ) Everybody was eager to reach Madikere and equally tired of frustrating Friday. But Reens & Laddu were carrying body full of josh. They played Anthaksari all the night. So, We all went for a sleep, except our trip manager Mr. Adii, who had always one eye on road and other on driver. So that he might catch sleep and might cause any unthinkable (Please don’t think what’s unthinkable, specially Veeru!!)……



1st Morning in Madikere:

In the early morning, any how our TM (Adii, Trip Manager) managed to get us on cottage to stay. It was in a beautiful place in Madikere. Madikere itself is a beautiful place, but when we explored places in madikere, I can say madikere is full of beauty and beauties (especially tourists).

When we landed near the cottage, first thing we did was we climbed on the roof of the cottage and took some snaps offcourse our Sanjeev was also there ready to pose.

Quickly we freshened up ourselves, hey everyday we observe girls/ladies take too much time to get themselves ready, but here it was exactly reverse…..Guys took time to make sure everything is perfect, so that their pics look good in “ORKUT Profile”………….

We had breakfast (as the is our last feast). We loved Puri in that hotel, each one had 3 plate. From here we left to Bhagamandala. On the way to Bhangamandala, we played some crazy games, our veeru (Nagu, Naga, um Naganna suits best, coz in his previous life he was a Snake, bos bos Naganna) tried to propose Shilpa, but Shilpa had no reasons to accept that.

When we reached Bhagamandala, all our water loving creatures plunged into water………I was not wiiling to enter into water as I was afraid of getting cold. So I picked up camera and started filming as if I am making a film on how crazy people enjoy swimming in 3 feet water. Gals stayed back from stepping in, but I was confused to see our Fuggi not diving into water (Reason is provided at the end of this messy story). Here we found some beautiful gals (note: I am not referring to our Team Madikere Gals J ).


From here we went to TalaCauvery, a heavenly place. Here we took a dip in holy water and went to climb the mountain. We climbed roughly around 350 steps to reach the peak. From here we saw a heavenly view filled with green mountains, clounds kissing the earth. Here our veeru even tried to take some handful of clouds into his pocket (Kidding). Everywhere we went we got snaps and Sanjeev never forgot to pose. Our Adii saw everything here though his mobile camera. Here also I was surprised to see beautiful gals following us from Bhagamandala.

Abbay Falls was were we destined to go now, here also we found many beauties around (Again I am not referring to……..). Here less water was flowing due to lack of rain.


From here we left to “Raja Seat”, where we delightful evening view over the mountains. This is called “Raja Seat” coz one Raja used to sit at this place to enjoy the view. Here they have setup one musical fountain, which was equally spectacular as the evening view. There near Raja seat we also enjoyed Mini train ride and we went back to our childhood days, played in the playground. From here we searched for a nice hotel for dinner, at last we found one called ‘Choice”, which was chingi-pingi hotel. Here we dinned for nearly 1 hr 30 min. (Coz service was too slow). In this hotel ate more and paid less, special thanks for Swapna G for being there and gladly accepting a glass full of Mango Juice on her head.

When were leaving to our cottage I had promised my body a nice sleep. But in the cottage whole thing went different. We played a round the camp-fire (Camp-fire according to Fuggi : Its sitting in the center and igniting fire all around, fuggi always thinks around). We also played a new game, I think you have never heard of this game, that’s “Thu Thu” game. Its all about Thu-ing on others.

Over night didn’t end here, Our “Trip Rockers” started dancing, which was also joined by our Joshile’s (Dumma - Gumma) who danced on the “Chaiyya Chaiyya” track from “Dil Se”. We also had a special dance event from Naganna (Veeru), that was absolutely a doubtful dance, coz at that time he didn’t even knew on which track he is dancing and mainly he is disastrous dancer (But he had a some courage to dance in front of all). I don’t know from where he pilled up this confidence in himself. There were some people who didn’t even moved at all (Myself).

After sometime I said to myself “Bandh karo yeto roz ka nataka hai” coz I see these two hippos dancing all the time in my room and I went for sleep. But for Laddu, fuggi & Reens night had just started, they danced all the night and when there was electricity failure, they managed to play “Anthaksari” again.


2nd Morning in Madikere:

Same again guys late to get themselves ready, we had a cup of coffee and again left to explore other places. It was a nice shinning Sunday morning. We planned to go to “Dubhari”, but first we went to the same hotel where we had puri the previous day.

Dubhari was the place where we enjoyed a lot, here we all played in river. Some enjoyed drowning others, some liked drinking this water (Hey, Reens I think you still remember that taste of water).



Next destined place was Nisarg Dhama, everyone was totally out of stock of energy. On the way A.L. released pic of his fiancée in front of us and was day dreaming about “Kachouri Biwi Ki” ……………………Here our Naganna got confused between Nisarg dhama and Dhaba,



In Nisarg Dhama we enjoyed elephant ride. But elephant there got a chance to see their alive ancestors Dumma – Gumma, Reens was still willing to get into water, she wanted to go for boating. Unluckily it was closed………We had some crazy snaps which were directed by Mr. Poser (Sanjeev).


Our last place left was “Tibetan Golden Temple”, here we roamed round the temple saw some “Monks on Bikes”, got some snaps with monks. Here our Naganna was full of josh, he was flying high with flowers his pocket. But nothing stopped him from taking REVENGE………….Hey, Shilpa remember, “Naganna na dwysha, 12 years” ……………


We made some shopping here and left back to Bangalore with same old things tickling in mind (Work, Work).

This was the awesome trip that we had. I think we must go for some outings like this once in every two months. In this trip we learned and got to know many things,

We had heard that “Love is Bilnd”, but we also got to know “Love is Doubtful” ß A.L’s Comment on Veeru.
We also learned to control our “Chintax”.
We alse learned not go directly into Toilets, even if it shows ‘Male’s Toilet” board on it. Please look around there might be another board showing the direction arrow à Guys, I think you’ll agree with this.
Lastly, but mainly we got to know how to be in a group, group of friends. Coz, we never got divided from our group or got away from the group.

And now the most awaited one, why fuggi stayed back from jumping into water in Bhagamandala, coz he never wanted to show off his huge, mammoth tummy in front of all. Ha ha ha ha…………that’s why he managed to wear he “Baniyan” and plunged into water in Dhubari………………..

So, when is next outing planned? Is the question that knocks my head every weekend? Is it the same with you all Guys?

While reading this huge bakwaas story you might have forgot my name. Hey, its obvious. If there is an article on Ash or Hrithik they read the content but never bother to know who published and edited that.

I am very much Thankful to all you guys, without your presence this trip would never be such a success.
