acquired monk syndrome

So basically, WORK at Yulop starts tomorrow..

I’ve an exam the day after..

I’ve one more exam..

Aerosmith will be playing a concert in Bangalore

I’ve my project Viva..

I’m a Graduate!

Thats all..

EXAMS are On.. For One Last time..

Just finished Graduation Day(Though Exams aint over).. Two days later, i was to leave for Elephant Census..

Our man

anushsh

had enroled us with the Madikeri Aranya Bhavan and we(Aakash, Anush, Sannath and Me) were to report there that day(Sunday)..
We started off by getting on to the wrong bus to Mysore.. Then we almost left Sannath behind while taking a bus from Mysore to Madikeri..
I guess we were cursed!

For a few more moments we were fine.. We reached madikeri and got posted at Maarigundi(WHAT?? DIDNT ANUSH PROMISE TO TAKE US TO BANDIPUR???)
Annnnyways.. We thought since this part is quite untouched, there is a good potential for wildlife around here and didnt fuss about it..
Had an annoying experience driving upto Maarigundi with the driver not knowing where to go..

Went up to the camp and met Mr. Ponappa(Sweet chap).. Trekked with him and had some really interesting conversations about life with him.. He’s gonna retire in a couple of years but the mad can trek nonstop with absoutely no fatigue..

The place we went is a reptile paradise.. Saw quite a few lizards(Garden, Draco, One Unknown) and ofcourse My little Viper

We didnt spot any elephants as they had moved on to another place nearby, but we heard on near the camp.. I didnt..

On the third day we were three Trekkers turned Tourists in Mysore.. We went to the Palace Museum and the Palace.. Was good fun..
Moved to Coffee Day and photographed a Thai baby – Shawn (Very very cute one).. And we were waiting for Sannath to get off work and come with us..

After some amount of more confusion(LOL), We ended up at Ranganthittu in an Auto driven by Suresh.. Went for a boat ride.. I’ll put the highlights of that in points(Need Practice for exams)

1. We saw a croc
2. i saw a night heron properly
3. i saw a dead egret
4. We saw Swallow nests with babies
5. We saw a Kingfisher which dives into the water for fish(I forgot its exact name)
6. I saw a purple heron
7. I saw another Night Heron
8. We saw another croc

Well quite satisfied with this we returned, packed and left to the bus stop to find out that there were very few GOOD buses to back home..
After much cribing we got onto an AC COACH(With Broken AC of course)

Well as of now my engineering days can be counted… Four years of total nonsense.. Cant really say it was useful, not even close.. I just wonder what i could have done with all that time, Music or Travel or something.. But those days are gone now.. Che..
