Two days went past like 2 minutes... Had been to Masinagudi last friday with my complete project team. Masinagudi is a forest area near to Bandhipur were our Lord of the Jungle Veerappan had survived. You'll feel so close to nature when you are @ Masinagudi, and totally away from all wireless signals. Neither cell phones nor TV works there. We'd booked a resort named Jungle Hut. Cost wise its slightly on the higher side. But the ambience is perfectly soothing for techies like us. Friday early morning 6 we started from Wipro Koramangala office. Its surprising to say that we started on time for the first time. We were around 13 members in a mini bus. On the way to Masinagudi, we'd some usual entertainments inside the bus, like anthakshari, dumbshrads, songs, dance n ofcourse light drinks. We reached the resort by 2.00 pm. Late by 1 hour. Masinagudi is approx. 250 kms away from bangalore. Had taken 5 huts for our refreshments and stay. All got settled in those soon we reached there and quickly got ready for the next assignment. Hmm yup, the known Jungle safari. There were 2 open Jeeps in which we splitted and got in. They took us through the jungle. All were expecting to see atleast some wild beasts. To our bad luck we ended up seeing just 2 bisons, peacocks and dears, nothing else. But the journey was 
amazing. Felt like getting disolved in the natures beauty. Green lush was so attractive, I can't describe. You shld go there once and then enjoy 'coz its above words. Little disappointed without seeing any jungly janwars, we returned back. On the way back we'd some masala vadas from Masinagudi town. Reached back resort by 8.00 pm. Took a quick bath and again assembled infront of the dining table with our regular stuffs with ice :-). Once when all were in little mood, one by one started performing there own skills. I had to dance which I do rarely now a days that too in such occasions only. To some extend I did well. We all departed to their own huts by 11.30 pm. It was really a fun filled day.
We had planned for a early morning trucking so all slept as fast as they can. Suprisingly next day morning all were on to their feet by 6.00 am after the hectic activities last night. All started for trucking by 7.00am from the Masinagudi foot hill towards the headup mountains. Trucking was slightly risky and thrilling as wild animal attacks are expected any time. More over there was a drizzle and the entire path way was slippery. Many slipped many times. There were many rivers to cross, water falls to see, many steeps to climb. Once we reached the tiger rock up above the mountain, we'd 5 mins rest sitting there and watching the lovely thick dense forest far down the hill. Sweet clouds were coveing the beside mountains half way through, like blankets. Awesome sight which none shld miss. Hmm forgot to say, I had not taken my Camera for this trucking since it was raining the time we started. Else I could have got some beautiful clicks of my life. Better luck next time. Climbed down the hill and reached back the resort by 10.30 am. Had a quick and heavy breakfast since we had to checkout by 11.30 am. After all the bill settlement we winded up by 1.00pm. Leaving behind all those beautiful and eye catching scenic excellence, we touched Bangalore city by 7.00 pm. To travel inside the city it took one more hour and finaly reached office by 8.00 pm. With all those good memories for the past 36 hours, all went back to their own houses. A perfect weekend hideaway... !!!
