Yeah! It was nice to see all the stars fall safely on the earth on that beautiful night!!
The group of six- Nithin, Prajwal, Roshan, Ravi Prajwal M.S. and I started at 7 p.m. to Brindavan with heavy clouds covering all over. It was a very easy ride until we reached the KRS main road. But once we entered there it was just like travelling in Silicon city. At last we reached KRS with lots of dust inside our eyes and on the shirts! The biggest mistake that we had done was going there on a weekend. Lots and lots of people had come to watch its beauty but there was no power at all!! The journey from entrance to musical fountain was just mechanical. We did not walk at all. People behind us were pushing us like anything. When we went near the fountain it was 8.30 p.m. it was lightly drizzling when a boy selling tea forced us to drink a cup of chai with little bit bargaining. The songs were same as before but it was delight to watch, because there is nothing else to watch in the dam now but kudos to the technology that was built some 25 years back!!
It was 9.30 when we came back to the entrance and wear the helmets. “I am hungry”, told Nithin. Only he put his feelings in words but all of us were in the same state. The hunger kept us charged and throughout the way we searched for the places to eat something. Finally the Punjabi dhaba arrived. After eating rotis and drinking 300 ml. sprite we planned to head towards the hills. It was 10.30 when we payed the bill. The journey started and the road was quite calm and I thought about the difference of lifestyle in day and in night.
The ride in the curvy hill roads was awesome as usual, but I was pillion rider unfortunately. It was too windy and light drizzle was constantly falling to boost up the cold. It was exactly 11.50 p.m. when we reached the topmost part of the heritage city. There was nobody around except us around the temple. Chamundeshwari was taking rest calmly inside the temple. The shopkeepers were into the dreams. It was too cold that we could not take out our jackets. So it was all our world. Then it was the time for the photo session. After all the strain and ride we were feeling like to be on the top of the world. The reason was simple. We were the only people to see whole Mysore at that time. We could locate many places excluding our home. The real beauty of Mysore was being captured into our cameras. It was our first visit to betta in the night and it was almost tomorrow, I mean just 12 a.m. after an enjoyable ride to KRS, we were finally at 4000 mt. high from sea level.
So, it was the time to say goodbye to the hills in the midnight though we were not willing to leave the place. Suddenly I and Prajwal found out a tea shop and Ravi could see the bajjis inside the shop too. We couldn’t come back without having all those. So at that night we made the shopkeeper to make tea for us with bajjis. With all the tea going into the stomach the whole city was heading towards the next day.
But as I told before, that night “stars had made their way to the earth”. The whole scenario was looking like all the planets have come down to visit the earth. It was the beauty of our city, as seen from the betta. Never loose a chance to go there at the same time. I will surely join U once again.
