We assembled at Hebbal Flyover, headed towards our destination( Time: 4.15 am ). The ride in trembling cold weather was awesome, hands were freezing, the body was shivering.

Whatsapp Kanchana: Kaveri going to hometown this Sunday, let's go somewhere. Me: Kaveri going? (what a good news). Ok I'll check a place to hangout. So it's Kaveri's farewell time, hang out for a day, I'm not really big fan of malls as its boring, noisy, traffic, no adventure, not pocket-friendly.  So some nice place to hang out within the city. Googled it!  Found this place on a blog, after seeing the photos I was wondering if this place is inside the city just 20 Kms from Vijayanagar! Wow! So near, girls can bring Scooty and Sachin and me on the bike! seemed perfect. Plan fixed
