Another Drive in adda!!!

Yesterday, Mr.Anbumani Ramdoss had the last laugh by introducing a ban on smoking at public places, Deep's sorry about that!!! ;). Yesterday, Quater, Shilpa, Deepak and myself decided to go out for bowling (Ravi missing this time!!). Quater, agreed to get his car and asked me to come over to Deep's place (it's a norm to pick me from Deep's place and as usual I was late this time too). We started off and decided to first fill our stomach. We zeroed in on Pure and Natural, a salad bar opposite to National college J'nagar (we are very health conscious!! ;)).

After having a simple but spicy lunch we were little undecided on going for bowling, at least Quarter's face said it all ;). So he asked what next? Finally after much deliberations we decided to go to Eagleton, a golf resort on Mysore road. We drove on kanakpura road and joined the NICE road, which is a beauty of a road. Quater just enjoyed pushing his car to constantly touch 150 mark on the speedometer. Very soon we reached Mysore road junction and drove towards Bidadi, again there was a change in plan. I guess Quater was in a mood to drive more. So we decided to go to channapatna Coffee Day, a hangout which is fast becoming famous. After crossing Ramanagara, I saw a Karnataka Tourism signboard with kanva reservoir details. Unanimously we all agreed to visit this place. Just before reaching channapatna coffee day, there is a small village with Anjaneya Temple. We need to take right here and head 8kms straight to reach this place. Signboards are there for help. Since we were little tired, we decided to have some coffee first and then go to that place. The coffee day is much ahead from the temple, so we proceeded further but, found a new Barista opened out there. We just parked ourselves and had some smoothies and frappés. After this we headed to the Kanva reservoir, the 8km drive is a bumpy ride. Quater was driving very slowly and we were also not complaining but enjoying the drive. The village kids playing Tops[Kannada := Bhuguri], running around trees etc. was a treat to watch. We reached the reservoir which was quite and peaceful. It was a big reservoir with a radius of 5kms approx, but most of the water was drained out because there was some construction going on. It was calm and picturesque. We just went down and sat on the rocks watching the lake, cranes, eagles, snakes (we spotted 2 water snakes). Deepak was repenting because he forgot to get his Nikon camera, while Shilpa clicked some pics on her mobile phone camera. As the evening set in we decided it was time to head back to Bangalore. We spent some real good time and decided we will make this our adda and visit often!! ;)
