Antaragange

Author: Nagi

Hi Gayz/Gals,

May 1, 2003

The monotonous routine of office life induced a feeling of ennui for all of us. So we decided to go someplace by bike ride. We were NOT able to fulfill the santosh' choice (Kokkare Bellur), As per Ravi and Nagi, finally the place was decided "ANTHARAGANGE".

As ususal our jaunt started bit late. This time becoz of "SAKE", We started from BTM Villa @ around 10: AM. Ravi and Raghu wanted to have something, hence our first stop is Udupi Garden. (As expected before going to hotel, Dumma told he will share the food, While eating it is otherway round, we were sharing the food and dumma was having it ! :)- jst kidding). After the first innings we headed towards hanging bridge in ring round. We had a good experience in the bridge and really we appreicate BMTC to have that type of bridge in our home away from home (i,e Bangi)

While going towards Kolar, we met "Airavatha", he was moving from Bangi to Tirupathi. Then on the way we saw Dhandupalya, kolathur villeges. Actually we could smell Dhandupaly's power on the road itself.

We enjoyed the journey, the road was good and finally we reached Kolar around 12 in the noon. Raghu was driving the Ravi's splendor in a gallop ( We can say somewhat less that that).

In Kolar, we packed some brunch to have it later. Then we entered Antharagange. The first sight of Antharagange was not very much attractive. We had thought that it would be full of water and water falls but all our expectations went unfruitful.

I believe Antharagange was a holy place. We wnt and asked that Poojari, He explained the history of the place.

As per Poojari, In Dwaparayuga one sage was there, Before the pooja he use to bath in Ganga River for that he was going to Ganga river and he will took his bath there only. (Don't ask me how he was going and all. Jst say OK). Then Gange felt ruth on this sage and she told, no need to come here only for bath, i will come there only. Then sage told how it is possible!! then gange took one nimbhu, one stick and Gange itself, she told, these 3 things i will throw here and in your place you will see all these three things. When the sage came back to Antharagange he saw nimbhu, stick and water was coming here. Hooh. Unbelievable right !!!

This was the history that, the water in Antharagange is coming from Ganga river. After that we took that gange and tasted it. Sakkat aaghi ithu. Then we were relaxing we saw some kotigalu doing some xxxx. (Censored) We enjoyed a lot there.

Then everybody was hungry and badly we wanted to have something. We wnt down the place took some snaps and we started eating the brunch in the lunch time. Our most adventurous Girl, Madhu saved chameleon life. Actually some sabru behind that, but eagle-eye madhu was toooooooo quick this time. She saw this and saved the life of chameleon. hats of madhu. (neen speed nodi sustu aghu kustu bidhe !!!)

The clock strikes 4'0 clk then we realised that we need go back to Bangi. We started from that place and we finished light tiffan in Kamat (Don't forget that juice that we had was sakkat Blade).

Santu and dumma came fast and we were waiting for Raghu Darling near whitefied diversion. We could not find Raghu Darling. Santu left that place bcoz his bike head-light was not proper. (i think we played safe here). We waited for almost 50 min, still Raghu and Ravie did not turnedup. me and Dumma wnt back to Kamat hotel ( almost near) then I got a call from Raghu. (Mobile thoghodihaakku sarthaka aythu ankonde).

In that vague vision dumma was riding the bike and i was recalling the memories of Antharagange. .. in back seat.

Cheers
Nagi
