A new hypermarket (what is a hypermarket anyway?) or a shopping complex has been constructed right NEXT to my apartments. This is on a stretch of the road which is exceptionally prone to frequent and long traffic jams, on one of the busiest roads in Bangalore.
I am so dreading the opening of the place and even more of it being even moderately successful. The traffic to this part of the road will increase manifold and we get screwed in the process :(
So it’s been sometime since the Kalavarahalli Betta trek and the pics have been up on flickr (yay mo-photo-blogging :D )
The trek was a lot of fun with the climb not too difficult but not very easy. The difficult part was close to dawn as the dew condensation increased. Unfortunately for me, my shoes, while awesome on rough surface and mud, gets *very* slippery on wet stone. So at one point, I was literally struggling to stay on the rocks and not slip (had a close call too, almost slipped, got a handhold at the last moment)
Anyway, the top was awesome. *Very* strong winds, lot of fog/mist and clouds. It was an awesome experience to be there on top.
The pics are all taken off my awesome phone and uploaded directly to flickr. Whee..
Right now i’m on top of a hill known as Kalavarahalli Betta or Skandagiri. It’s awesome here. Fog/mist, dew a beautiful sunrise. The weather is fabulous and the climb down should be trecherous ;)
