The INDIAN Niagara...:) There you go!

Jog Falls is situated amidst dense forests of Western Ghats. She is river Sharavathi, making the falls spectacular to watch specially when she is flowing full. Raja , Roarer , Rocket and Rani are how the four different falls are called. River Sharavathi then moves on and joins the Arabian Sea at Honnavar. Feast your eyes with this vedio...

I have been to this place before :) College trip! What fun it was.... We trecked all the way down to the bottom of the falls in the wee hours of the morning. And then I slipped on a rock which had algae and fell.. broke my back! Or so I thought! I could not move a muscle... And remember we still had to treck back all the way up. My friends used the push-pull technology to somehow get me back up there. My friend N pushed me from behind and L pulled me from the front..and we made all the way like that. Went to a hospital and took an x-ray, thank God! it was just a muscle pull and I had not broken anything :) By the way, L was holding my hand when I fell... so he felt guilty all thru the trip that he let me fall down! He used to line-marofy me ;-) This L thingy is a saga in itself... I will write about it sometime when I get time.
For all you lucky guys out there in India, time to plan the next vacation?

P.S: Thanks to Pavan! He told me "how" to put this video on the blog :)

On the way I sat with G and cried my heartout. He had consoled me very well.
V & V got hooked up in that trip on our return journey.

T took a photograph of You and me and created a big scene of it for which we are still troubled. :)

@hardu: Oh yes! That was an eventful trip..:)
Regarding "L".. I (think) "used-to" holds good now!
But hey! T didn't take a picture of us in this trip.. that was "mekedaatu" trip.

OMG.. it is like being in an LKG class with alphabets flying around.. or like this: "A took B's pic with C when D was dancing around with E while.. lalala.. so what was Z doing all this while?" Solve the equation. (5 marks) :P

Shark said...

@pavan: Z was thinking about a template for her blog where she could write about all this after 20 years :P

Shark:
Ok. I am back to my normal position now.

L was line-marofying you?! Now, that's news to me!

Hardu:
You are getting more mysterious even though I know you with all those A,B,C,D... stuffs!
