Trip Trip and fall ...

Hectic Holidays : Friday : Read "Deception Point " , Vehicle puja , sweets hmmm. Saw " Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa" . Very very good music . Saw Ladder 49 ... Not worth Rs 15/.(Rent) Saturday :Went to a naming ceremony . Authentic South Indian lunch .hmmm. Got a DVD for my uncle , my friend picked up Friends Season 9 , 21 episodes cool .Went to see " Dhoom " , ok movie with some good songs. Sunday : Trip to a place called Kaivara, 75 kms from Bangalore.The main attraction in Kaivara is the Amaranarayana temple with its beautiful architecture. It has a Navaranga Mantapa with four intricately sculpted stone pillars. To the left is a small shrine where Lord Rama resides along with Sita and Lakshmana. Lord Rama is known as 'Aranya Rama'. Temples dedicated to 'Bheemeshwara', 'Na-kuleshwara', and 'Sahadeveshwa-ra’ are other attractions. About a kilometre from the Mutt ashram, on a small hill named 'Vaikunta', is a small cave temple dedicated to Yoganara-simha Swamy where Kaivara Nareyanappa was in meditation for more than three years. A statue of Nareyanappa has been installed here. Adjacent to the temple, a magnificent structure with a spacious prayer hall has been built. One can have a beautiful view of the hills from here. We bargained and got a full basket of ripe guavas for Rs 20 /- . Cucumbers sliced , with green chillies , sluuuuuuuurp. Then off to Nandi Hills , the sunset was just amazing... Looking forward to my next loong weekend ( Psst its this week ... Nov 1st is a HOLIDAY )
