BIRD WATCHING, but no bird !!!








Today was a nice day... Mohil suggested this outing which 'prakrati club' guys were planning.. Went for it..they charged us 50 bucks each for that( which later turned out to be a profitable deal :P )

To start off , I ws pretty sure that if I wud sleep a night b4 i'll never b able to wake up on time.. So i decided not to sleep. We were to leave at 5'o clock in the morning. Woke up mohil and some-how saurabh and we were good to go by 5.15 .At 5.30am the bus left campus, with around 30 ppl onboard approx. It ws dark,still. I tried to sleep in the bus, but cudnt.

We reached the place, which ws 90 km away in less then 2hrs. We were supposed to be taken to a bird sanctuary..yeah bird watching was the theme..I imagined that der myt b birds in cages n we cud c diff types of em in der, n offcourse some cud b seen flying around.

But it didnt turn out to be the same, not even closer.. It ws a not so clean lake with minimal birds flying around. Der were villgers taking the nature's call, who were surprised to c so many visitors out of nowhere n had to wind up der businesses in a rush. So obv der ws a foul smell.. There were a couple of so called professional bird-watchers, one had a big camera( Canon EOS) with a long protuding lense, Other had a book with details.

Well e ws pretty clear to us that we wudnt b able to c a lot of birds here..as offcourse without a binocular,all birds look the same...n v had just a couple... I ws actually not much interested, anywaz.

Girls were busy getting der pictures clicked in evry possible place n posture ,, not to my surprise... I guess it ws not such a bad idea afterall..Der were a few good spots out der... so we (guys) also got a few pictures clikd... Some of thoses poses were risky..but who cares man !!

Hungry as we were , they told they wud take us to a paddy field where we cud hav our snacks and roam around take pictures. So here is the profitablity part comes each lunch pack we got ws worth atleast rs 40 ...and i sneaked 1 more :) ... n that included the travelling xpense...so this trip ws worth each penny, may b more.

The paddy wasnt a paddy from ny angle.. Few small hills.. I guess granite...Der were huge transmission lines ,makking a lot of humming and sparkling noise. Got a few jumping snaps, saurabh was all squared on the ground when mohil jumped on his spot and he has no place to land...and hence the crash..

Then we headed back and were back ny 1 pm.. I didnt sleep last nyt I crashed on bed n took 4 hrs of peaceful sleep which ws enuf to recharge me for the evening workout !!
