It was 6 '0' clock in the morning and the drizzle continued,the cool breeze(something that u don't often associate with my college )added to my comfort level and I relished that.
My not so healthy mobile sprang up to life with all the energy that it could afford and it's display got stained with bright chrome yellow . A call from Deepak and he asked me to join him for the trek that they had planned for as part of the Eco Club. As always I opted to yield to my drowsiness (to be frank i did not think of any other option ). A couple of minutes later a familiar voice yelled "gowriii, gowriiiii, gowriiiiii" . Its better to save your skin before they blurt out the magic "F" WORD!". I opened the door and a supple figure with an out sized T-shirt and a blue tracks stood before me . I again yielded to my slumber and and again the same person on the phone . Alright, I too got frustrated experiencing the same stuff again and again as u people do reading this post of mine.
I decided to go for the trek and got myself ready in 20 minutes. I jogged to the dining hall intentionally so that the others whom i kept waiting would believe that I wasn't late deliberately . I jumped at the chance of a bike ride and so i joined Saravanan and off we went leading the way for the rest of my club members in the bus. The drizzle had stopped and so did my heart beat for a second.We were riding at 100 Km/Hr . We reached the place and it was en route to Mysore, a place where u would find deers and jumbo's(elephants) often. The teams rallied in front while myself and saravannan had to wait for the forest watcher. We were way behind the others and we had no other option but to lend an ear to the officer's story. We picked up pace and joined the others by the time we entered the interesting part of the trek. A small man made pathway that led to the interior forest where the age old AMMAN Temple is situated. Ten minutes of walk and we heard an elephant trumpet at a distance. We had to pick up pace and cross that area as soon as possible.
After an hour of planning we thought of going upstream and so continued with the trek. It was a completely dried stream on our course and the pebbles and stones were abundant. The rangers were quite concerned of our safety and so was reluctant to carry on with the trek. Fair enough! After all there were twenty odd girls who would do everything but anything sensible if they get to see an animal. So we called off the trek and returned to the same spot where we had our lunch. Our godfather of Eco club came up with an awesome game (The Dog And The Bone) and not surprisingly the girls found it interesting. I aggravated the injury when I got my turn in the game. I decided to pull out and was a mere spectator from then on..
After a few mishaps the game was also called off.
Even The Rain Gods couldn't tolerate our mind-numbing activities and so decided to drive us out of the forests. It started pouring down and we decided to leave.
