Sunday School outing - Gardens, Ice creams & Playing in Water

[hrag]

A Sunday morning spent waiting at the NICE Road - Mysore Road junction photographing my ORVM







quickly turned into a school outing to Brindavan Gardens





and much more.

As always, the rides


The sweetheart who stole all our hearts


To be continued

Great, a different theme here for a change. Looking for some narrative and more pics.

My My!!! Hrag in the travelogue section and that too starting one, lol. Now we've seen it all.

Great outing, will be posting pics and report shortly.

[hrag]

We were all supposed to meet up at the NICE Road - Mysore Road junction at 6:30 am. After a lot of suspense (Amit, Shahnawaz, Deepak, Perez & Aniruddha can elaborate here), we caught up with the rest of the gang at McDonald's on SH17 (Bangalore - Mysore state highway).

I must mention here that Hari, Jyo and myself had a sumptuous breakfast of thatte idlies at Bidadi - we were all supposed to have breakfast here but due to various reasons (the gang above can elaborate here again), they didn't turn up on time

We finally reached Brindavan Gardens and..

The headmaster wants to take us on a tour while all of us just want to sit in the shade and sip cool beverages


Deepak & Priya follow reluctantly


Hey, a fountain


A view of the gardens


The school bus ambles along


and stops to take "nice pics"


Amma, I just got here, I can't come back home so soon


Please Amma, please - I want to play some more


Hey boys, enough of standing in the sun - let's find some shade


Let's have fun!

Arre Rishi, I know a picture says a thousand words but do put up a report too.
Nice pics though

Next time you schoolboys go for such school-outings, give me a shout, will ya ?!

[akroy]

Looking at the heading that too posted by Hrishi, I thought for a second, "When did he leave his job and started headmaster-giri?"
Nevertheless, Nice to see the headmaster among his pupils enjoy Ice-Creams, tea, coffee, juice for a change.

Must say nice and healthy transition indeed (from Meet section to Travelogue section)

Hari, Sorry I couldnt join for this trip!! Thanks for your SMS !!

Abhi

Hey this feels like school days again


Return to innocence - Dharini leads her mother on a chase


Amit is very tempted to jump into the water to remain ice-cool. Dharini still leads.


Watching me watching you


Dharini going strong


This is where all the water comes from




This one's for Siddu


Shahnawaz: Man, that monster truck was something else!
Amit: I bet it'll be faster than a VTEC

[Perez]

Lovely trip, had a superb time, will post some pics soon.

Amit/hrishi, thanks for the ride in your cars; have only one word for amit's "stock" baleno...WOW!!!and as for hrishi's "truck"; please add one more person to the "I love Tata Safari" club

Hrishi, you seem to be growing younger every day. So, did you guys get to choose the school bus of choice?

Been ages since i went to Brindavan. It feels so much better when the crowds which throng the place are absent.

[hillram]

Hey Nice pics and sounds like a great meet.
KRS Dam and Brindavan Gardens rekindles my sweet memories of stay in Mysore nearly a decade back.

Umm, so you mean he is Older

Anyway, man I think this is first of its kind in T-BHP, a travelogue from our Hrag!!! Why don't we have the thread edited as - "First in T-BHP - Hrag's Sunday School outing - Gardens, Ice creams & Playing in Water"

@hrag,
is it just me? can't see pics of post no 13, i.e. your last post.

btw,
it seems that some big boys had real kiddy fun in the summer vacations.

@ general khan,
man! you look like cowboy in that sports shoes, jeans, white belt; goggles and hat missed.

[hrag]

The parking lot at Brindavan Gardens was so empty



We then decide to head to Balmuri to play in the water

Dharini is ready for action


Pictures of the coracle ride:

Jyo is all smiles


Priya takes "nice videos" while Farha has something on her mind


Deepa is grinning like a schoolgirl


If Priya can take "nice videos", so can I, says Deepak


Farha just remembered she doesn't know how to swim


We spot the shooting of a "romantic scene" of a TV serial - our boatsman said it was a comedy serial

[hrag]

Priya is happy with the camera


Jyo & Farha relax by the water


Suzan deep in thought - when was this murukku made?


Sherrel strikes a pose


Deepa is still grinning like a schoolgirl


Deepak: man some of my parts are freezing - just have to maintain a stiff upper lip


Aniruddha serious about having fun


Hari & Jyo in the water


Deepak & Priya with Dharini


Aniruddha & Deepa
