A beautiful city called Vishakapatnam!!!























Can anyone explain to me what is that Orb over my head !!!




























2 weeks back had been to vizag to attend a friend's wedding. the vizag or vishakapatnam was a complete revelation to me !!!! wide roads , wonderful beaches, hills, buddhist complexdating back to 2nd century B.c, discos. I was completely bowled over by the cosmopolitan culture of the city. some of the places worth seeing over there are Rushikonda, kailashgiri,the beach road, submarine museum , thotla konda , sandyline restuarant and 10 downing streetdisco !!. had a complete blast over there. Also had been to Burra caves, Arakku valley anda reservoir of river gosthami( I dont remember the reservoir name).while coming back went tohyderabad to see my friend who got kidney transplanted recently.
I had an unusual experience near that reservoir. while coming back from burra caves we decidedto visit that reservoir. the reservoir is around 60 kms from vizag and by the time we reached that place it was around 6:15 and not a single person was there , it was completely isolated.it was a fantastic place . my friend jai prakash took a snap of me and srinivas. after he tookthe snap he called us and showed us the snap. there was an unusual light over my head !!!.that place was completely isolated , no boats, no humans, no source of light watsoever.these kinds of mysterious lights are called "Orbs" in photography jargon.so wat are these ORBS? a technical glitch in the camera? or something beyond our comprehension!!!

bandipur extravaganza



























hey guyz i'm back after a long time. i am posting some more pics of bandipur . when i think of bandipur trip two incidents come to my
mind. First one is, We were going through a open gypsy ride in bandipur and i had bribed my driver to take us deep into the core area . at first

he was apprehensive but later when he saw 300rs!! he was happy.I was searching for some animals and then i noticed pugmarks of the
TIGER!!! on the damp earth near stream . i felt my hair standing up due to excitement and i jumped from the gypsy and started inspectiong
it.I tried to follow the tiget tracks into the jungle but our driver was on the verge of nervous breakdown . he was frantically shouting
at me as this was a CORE area !!! . " Idhar paidal chalna mana hai!!!". i could make out that that pugmarks were of a big male tiger.
male tiger because the toes were very big it was almost half of the total pug area. females have small toes compared to the total area
of the pug and tiger was there at the stream only 3-4 hours back. as it was fresh pug marks. we missed seeing the king of the indian jungles by 3 hours!!
the second one , While coming back we started from mysore at night 7 and the traffice was too heavy . most of the lorries trucks and BMTC
busses didnt have tail lights or brake lights !!!. I was drving at a speed of 80 kmph and could make out there is a BMTC bus going in some
distance ahead. The bus was overtaking a truck laden with sugarcane . both didnt have tail lights. when i came near to BMTC bus i realised
that the bus has applied brakes as the truck swerved to the right. and the bus had no brake lights also and i was few feet away from the
bus and i was in the speed of 80 kmph !!!. I applied the full brakes and shifted to 1st gear and released my leg from the clutch. the car
came to standstill after it mildly bumped into the back of the bus !!!. everyone were praying to the god and my heart was beating like hell.
I was sweating like crazy and my whole body was shaking . i parked my car to the left and examined the damages and there was only a small
dent on the bonnet.well it could have been a very nasty accident. we survived it thanks to the god.
