Weekend at Nagarjuna Sagar

Back from an exciting and immensely action packed trip at Nagarjuna Sagar which is about 150 kms. from Hyderabad. Aruna ended up being the only female in a group of 5 on Saturday, a status which ended when Rajiv and Sarita managed to join us on Sunday morning. Not that she minds though - she is very comfortable amongst the guys.

This time around (the last time we were there it was 3 years ago) we had a blast with excellent weather and absolutely gorgeous greenery around Nagarjuna. The reservoir itself was a brilliant hue of blue with a cool strong breeze that kept everyone feeling very much in the holiday spirit.

I would love to link some pics up. Unbelievably, no one in the whole bunch has a digital camera. Thanks to Kiran who has an excellent camera we atleast have snaps. Got to scan them and put them up.

The best part of the trip was the "tokri" boat ride which is basically a flat 6 feet wide basket which is waterproofed using tar. It sits about 6 inches off the surface of the water and it rocks like crazy. It was the most exhilirating experience we had. With waves splashing into the boat, the boat man swirls the thing around faster and faster giving us the time of our lives.

Phani drove quite well both ways and must've gotten mighty tired. But he did an excellent job. Thanks!
