A Fun filled trip

I need to tell you about two trips where I had so much fun recently.
One was in my native town, Coimbatore, where we wanted to take a short trip to Anuvavi Subramanya swamy temple on a Sunday. It has been so many years (nearly 15 yrs or so) since I visited that temple. It is situated in a very serence place.
There are no shops, no offices, not much of houses also nearby. It was a pleasant weather (it had rained in the afternoon). But to our disappointment, the temple was closed. Reason: invasion by wild Elephants from the hills. Just 10 mins, before our arrival, a huge tusker had come and almost terrorized people. This is the place where the tusker was standing. A person who was there earlier had shot the movements of the tusker and showed us the video image. What a huge tusker it was. My God. They were running for cover too :).
It seems that people with kids and families were stuck above the hill inside the temple for almost 2 hours. During summer season, it is very common for the elephants to visit these places and at times create havoc in the houses in the nearby area. We tried going upstairs to half way, but everyone advised us against it, lest the elephant shud come and create more trouble for us.
So we left the place after waiting for sometime to see if it would come back and since it didnt we thought of visiting an Swamy Dayanand Ashram in the nearby Anaikatti area. It was so calm and peaceful that we were so relaxed. But since we didnt have much time, we just lazed around for a while and came back.


The other trip was to Innovative Film city in Bangalore, which was organized from our office. I was never much of a person who would enjoy in such places as IFC or MGM for instance. I remember the time when we went from our college to MGM and for almost 3 hrs I was waiting outside, because I dont play much. But this trip to IFC was totally different. I enjoyed the Wax museum, Ripleys believe it or not, Skates (where I had enough falls and injured by thumb, it is still swollen), 4D movie, Mirror maze and very specially Haunted Mansion. We had so much fun particularly in the Haunted Mansion and the Mirror Maze. Aqua kingdom brought me some nightmares but was fun. I also tried my hand at singing in Karaoke. It was so bad, and it wasnt that good either. But I was happy that I got to do that. We had so much fun and it was so relaxing. I was always hesitant to go out in such trips. But this was really an eye opener. I needed such relaxation after a tiring and depressive friday. Well altogether it was a wonderful trip.

See you later, bye for now.
