Time Started : Around 13:00 hrs
It was a sunny saturday afternoon. I was lazing around @ home watching TV when my mobile rang... it was my childhood friend Nagesh aka Nagoo's calling from his work Quintails. Agreed to meet him @ his office in MG Road. Started from my home, was a long tedious drive to MG Road in the maddening traffic, (thanx to the metro work being carried out). Reached by 13:30 hrs, planning to go to `Russel Market @ Shivaji Nagar' to find a Pet Guinea Pig. On the way to....., decided to go to the GKVK (Govt., Krishi Vignana Kendra) as i had heard that you find good `guinea pigs' out there. Managed to reach the place and again changing our minds...... from now on....
Thought of going to `The Sai Mandir' @ Yelahanka New Town. Reached to find the doors locked. (started beliving in god just for now ;) )
Mind you.... we were driving around in empty stomach, lucky - TheMeachine had his stomach half full... thought of going to Doddaballapur to have our fill. Time was around 14:15 hrs. The stretch to Doddaballapur was under repair, with sand particles and jelly powder having their day. Nagoos didn't carry a headger (fun of an unplanned trip), manovering the terrain, reached destination - but not the final one.
As the roads improved we thought of going further down, reached the `Junction'where one path leads to Nadi Hills and the other to Ghati. Nagoos being a lil' devoted wanted to go towards Ghati, Me towards Nandi Hills.
Again thanx to the roads, moved a little further and took a right turn ahead to Ghati. On the way to saw a few micro-shandies, clicked a few pictures on my Sony S60 of the sunflowers staring @ the sun, cattles loitering...in the afternoon sun. Also had a whiff of the village smell which i call it as.

Moved on to reach our next destination which was the Subramanya Temple. Nagoos being devout went to the temple to offer his prayers. Me went to feed the Homo-Sapiens with bananas. Also clicked a few pictures of the Temple and its surroundings.
By the time Nagoo was back and we had tender coconuts and kadalepuri with kalyan-seva and boondi. Started on our trip back to where....? because it didn't end there. On our way back found huge grinding stone sort of things laying around. Clicked a few pictures of those with Nagoo and I posing on it. around 14:00 hrs.
On our way back shopped for Vegetables and fruits in the micro-shandy. Thanks for the newly acquired `Really WildCraft' backpack to carry them.
Started our Ode back to bangalore... on the way, near a railway level crossing, our man Nagoos saw a BEGGAR and was ready to offer Rs.100 to him. On the way back clicked a few pictures of the sunset on NH4. Had ladoo's which Nags had got as prasada and the left over kallepuri-mix bang in the middle of highway parking our bikes. That was sometime around 18:30
On the way back went to meet couple of Nagoos relatives @ Yelahanka... and culminated the drive @ Nagoos place sometime around 20:30 hrs.
WHAT HAPPEND TO MY IDEA OF ACQUIRING A Pet Guinea Pig.
Thats another story.
