The boredom during the weekend made us to plan for a day-out trip this weekend. With handful of places, we decided to go to Big Banyan tree and a reservoir nearby.
We, 8 of us started @ 9:30 am in two-wheelers after a heavy breakfast, reached the Big-Banyan tree by 11:00 am. The tree was so huge as it spread across some 3-4 acres. We had a good time-pass, as monkeys there provided a good acrobatic shows. Then we started after some rest to the reservoir in manjampalli. The road was very too to challenge the riding skills of a person. On our way back to BB tree, we came across a movie shooting starring ShivRajkumar. Then we landed on a resort and we spent 2 hours in swimming pool and started off to Bangalore.

Black-out Bangalore
As we know, Bangalore - one among the fast growing city in the World of IT. The cosmopolitan nature of this city makes it more attractive. But in the recent past and now, the city is being blacked-out more often, the reason is its raining heavily during nights. For the past one week, the city received a heavy downpour which upshots the powercut. The powercut lasts for hours duly affecting the normal life.

A hot day- out
It was a long time we went for a trip and hence we decided to go for Thiruvannamalai and Gingee fort on 21st of May, 2005.
The day started wonderfully as we started @ 7 am in the morning towards thiruvannamalai. We reached a town called oothankarai at 9 am. We landed at Shankar cafe after a long search(25 mins) for a pure veg restaurant. The food was excellent and we saddled up for the journey again.
The temple @ t'malai was really a massive construction with 3 parakarams and 9 gopurams. As we got out of the taxi with our bare foots we jumped as if we landed on a tandoor grate. Literally we ran into the temple. We had a good dharsan of Lord Arunachaleswarar and Unnamulai. The temperature there would be easily touching 40-42* C. The shopkeeper who sells lime soda had a good business with us.
We started for Gingee fort as the temples we enquired will be closed between 12:30 p.m - 4:00 p.m.
At Gingee, there are two forts and the localites call them Raja Fort and Rani fort. We decided to visit Raja fort first then to Rani fort. The parking lot keeper grinned at us sarcastically. We really felt sorry for choosing this as one of the place of visit. Its really really hot.. machi. All of us dehydrated before we reach the hilltop. It took nearly 2 hours for us to reach there. The fort was ruined mostly but it shows the architectural stature they had gained during those periods.
After Gingee, we visited "MelMalayanoor" amman temple and started back to Bangalore.

Is this extravagant spending ?
One of our badminton friend work with a reputed garment company and he informed us about the stock clearance discount sale last week on Sat and Sunday.
Myself with my roommates planned to have a visit there. The sale was organised in the parking lot of the garment office. It was much crowded and we rushed for the garments of our size and grabbed which we liked most. I could see people running literally to get the best as early as possible. As the garments displayed were of international brand I could see people rushing in, which I realized later.I couldn't believe that we spent around 11K for the garments there. I could see people purchasing about 7-8 garments on average,spending around 5K.
Wondering whether the Indians are moving out of their savings mentality?
