So here we were.. On September 29th , after all the shopping, the build up etc, the scene was the train and the station.. Kauvery Express it was at 915.. And as usual, we had to be there an hour early.. Still yet to figure out why.. :D
The station was a scene of bustling activity.. Students here and there, teachers strewn about and security guards patrolling up and down.. We just couldn't wait for the start of our train..
And finally when it did, it was fun.. Just talking, teasing and verbal duels with friends proved to be fun- which ultimately is the basis for this trip.. The train trip was beginning to get boring when a group of girls lit up the scene with dance, music etc.. :D Funniest part was when Ranga was shoo-ed off when he tried to involve himself by teasin the girls there.. Lol..
The rest of the train journey passed off normally.. And finally, we were there at the Mysore Station the next morning at around 815 or so.. Again, CONFUSION.. Where to go , how to go, Why ? All questions propped up.. Loadin our luggages in one bus and yet again transferring to the other - It started to bug me a bit..
Just as we boys were prepared to leave to Coorg - as of what was given in the Itenary - , the event manager changed the plans completely by making the girls go to coorg and boys stay at Mysore - Not that it mattered to us.. :D
Vyshak International was the place we stayed there at Mysore.. A sumptous breakfast followed by room allotment - the morning passed off like that.. The girls left for Coorg, while we were given exactly an hour to refresh ourselves..
After an hour or so, we were taken to PandavPura- An hour's drive from the place we lived - to commence all our activities..
We were split into groups according to our classes and were assigned to do three activities before the end of the day.. They were Rapelling, Chimney Climbing and Trekking..
Sounds ominous.. Rapelling was the first activity in store for us.. The steepest of rocks, a breathtaking scenary down and at the same time the Fear of Heights.. :D:D All made my stomach grumble with fear.. First I was hesitant to do.. Scared rather.. But then after some encouraging words from my friends, i decided to take it up.. After all , what's life without taking Risks.. Though it was a touch scary, it proved out to be much easier than I expected it to be.. :D People have rightly said that The Proof of the Pudding is in its tasting..
After lunch , we were taken to the next activity sight.. Chimney Climbing.. The name seemed strange to us.. We were joking about saying The school's going to make us robbers by askin us to climb the chimney's of others houses.. :D:D
But then, oh my god.. It was freaking tough.. The task was to climb up through a small opening of a couple of rocks.. :D
I bravely went to do it.. But to my disappointment, the man who was there to guide us said NO because the sole of my shoe was jutting out.. :D
So I had to sit watching all my mates go about doing the activity.. And finally, after all , i din't regret not going because many of my friends came back with scratches, bruises, etc etc..!
Next in line was trekking.. We were given an endurance test by our event manager.. He challenged us not to sip a drop of water until we finished the trek.. :D So we moved on.. My shoe started showin signs of wear and tear.. I slipped in a couple of places initially but then got used to it.. Trekking was total fun.. Infact the best of the lot.. Friends and me had to help out another Fat boy who was left behind by all of us in a slippery place and he stood there shouting for help and ultimately started crying.. It was only late did we realize that he was missing.. And there we were to help him out.. :D It was getting dark too.. Which led to more excitement.. :D
So the day passed on quite eventfully must say.. All that was required to round of the day was a good night's sleep .. :P
ZZZZZ !!
