After seven years, my friends from Tagore hostel gathered together in Bangalore. I stayed in Tagore hostel from 1997 to 1999 during my pre-degree education in St. Joseph’s College, Devagiri. The college is situated in Kozhikode, near Calicut Medical College. Seeing my friends after such a long time was really a thrilling experience.
We gathered near Forum in Koramangala, Bangalore at 10:30 am, and started our trip towards Bannarghatta National Park on three bikes. The team consisted of Praveen, Nithin, Abhilash, Bijoy, Santhosh and me. We reached the national park around 11:15 and went for the Grant Safari, which includes a trip on the cab inside the park. We enjoyed the trip which lasted for about 1 hour, and we saw various predators like white tiger, normal tiger, lions, and other animals like elephant, sambar, beer and they came so near our cab. After that around lunch time we had some soft drinks and snacks. Then we spent about one and half hour, inside the park, talking about our memories in Tagore hostel.
Later we started our journey towards a beautiful valley near Aneykal. But rain started on the way and we all got drenched in the rain and we had to stop traveling frequently, due to the heavy rain. We reached a small restaurant near the valley. By the time we reached there we were almost frost. So we spent the rest of the time in the restaurant talking a lot about the old days along with delicious food. We returned and reached Koramangala around 7:00 pm and departed.
