PART 2 - Yet another wonderful outing with friends to INNOVATIVE FILM CITY.

Note : I hope you've read Part 1 of this post, please read it now otherwise...

Only bad thing about this complete outing was the weather… It was tooooooo sunny… 

We bought 699rs tickets which actually should have covered everything inside but didn’t.
Though we thot the ticket would allow us to visit everything, there were many activities which had separate entry fees. Nevertheless , 699rs was worth it.

The places we visited there were
1. Warnado entry
2. Mirror bizarre
3. Dino park
4. Roller coaster
5. Mini golf
6. Wax museum
7. Skating 
8. 4D movie
9. Aqua World
10. Go carting
11. Happy journey
12. Haunted mansion

Note : I might have missed few and names mentioned above may not be exactly same.

I would like to describe few out of all where we enjoyed the most. 

Warnado entry is a place which will be mostly made use for shooting.
It had a dental clinic where I posed as a doctor and Thanuja the patient. 
It also had an old 70s scooter on which all our girls (oops, aunts) sat and posed for pics.
There was also a court, where Bruce became the judge, Jay and Divya became lawyers, Thanu and jumbo posed as culprits. There were court related costumes as well which we all wore and posed for pics.

Roller coaster, as you all know will be the most thrilling ride. This one was nonetheless thrilling than any other rides anywhere. Jumbo was scared to get into the roller coaster but she was very excited to get on the toy horse ride. (Kids game). Everybody except myself and Jay took that ride.. Just like school kids, they were enjoying it. This made me feel that, we have gone back to our school life :) 

Minigolf.. Nobody knew how to put the ball in the hole. Not even aware of the rules. But still we wanted to play it as we had paid for it… 

Wax museum was best so far… We could see many wax statues of famous personalities such as, MK Gandhiji, M Jackson, Bill Clinton, Adolf Hitler and many more.. We were not supposed to touch any of them. But I was so keen to sit beside Hitler and to take a snap with him. I told Divya to monitor if there is any guard coming in the way and intimate me and I thot I would take a snap. But when I just looked up, I saw a CCTV camera constantly monitoring us… Good that I saw, or else I would’ve got belted properly.

Skating was another funny thing… Nobody knew how to skate.. As already said, we wanted to try everything as we had paid for it.. With full Enthu, we wore skate shoes and got into the skate hall. Damn, in the very first step we fell down. Vinu initially couldn’t even reach the skate hall, then somehow managed to get in… There was none among us who could complete one round without falling down…

It was 3:30 pm by this time and we were damn hungry… Lunch in the food court wasn’t great but since we were tired, had to adjust with what we got… Here the discussion about college life started again… After having lunch, we went to 4D movie.

I can say, 4D was the best of all.. This was just a 10 minutes movie where we could actually experience everything that was happening behind the screen. The visual effects were better than AVATAR 3D. We could feel the water being spilt on us, the seats moving up and down, air being blown on us in accord with the scene and also feeling of rats climbing thru our pants…:) :) This was awesome… One should watch this in their lifetime.

After 4D, we all thought of visiting AQUA world, the beach… Though people were initially reluctant to get into the water, once we got in, we were so reluctant get out of it.. The water was so crystal clear, not much depth and the wave pool which was generated at the end gave us a real feel of beach environment…

Then after having a couple of rounds of Go-Karting, we went to visit Haunted Mansion, the most awaited one.. The clock showed 7:15 pm and the guard did not allow us inside as it was late… But we had to argue a lot to get inside.. Finally we succeeded. Here comes the actual fun… Haunted house was very well planned and designed. We could see some deadbodies suddenly getting up in the middle of our journey, some wierd animals descend down all of a suddeen,  Mummys appear from no where, supported by horrifying sounds, dark and blood shed ambience , everything was perfect to give us a haunted feeling. But before entering itself, ,myself and Jay had made plans of scaring them all more.. As soon as we entered the mansion, we both hid behind some rocks and started scaring all the girls by jumping in front of them just out of blue.. Hahahah, the way they were screaming made the journey more interesting and fun loving..They all said,”More than those mummys and deadbodies, we were scared of Venky and Jay”… :P :P… In between Lalitha was so terrified that she started blabbering “Hey alli nodo, yaaro bartha iddare…(Hey look there, I feel that someone is coming…)”… Her wild imagination provoked us to scare them more… We all came out of mansion.. Here comes the actual comedy.. I came out last and I was all fine until I saw Sowmya’s face.. As soon as I saw her face, I started screaming as if I saw a ghost..(Ofcourse pretended)… Got nice beatings from her…

Finally this was the time to depart as the clock ticked 7:30 PM and film city would close. We started our journey back to Bengaluru, dropped everyone at their doorsteps. Thanuja was the last one among girls to get dropped.  

I hope by now you all got to know why this get-together was a special one…

3 Cheers to all my friends who made this happen…

Cheers,
Venky

PART 1- Yet another wonderful outing with friends to INNOVATIVE FILM CITY

This time it was with classmates. It was supposed to be a reunion of GVIT (Golden Valley institute of technology) ISE(Information Science) 2006 pass outs however turned out to be a small get-together with 8 people( Gang of 8 close friends).
Vinu(Thalai)
Jay(Cheta, Sujay)
Sowmya(Jumbo)
Thanuja(Nirma) 
Ragini(Brucelee)
Divya(Billi)
Lalitha(I don’t think this lady had any other name) and
Myself.

Most of the times, the get-togethers we planned used to end up as a flop show. Nobody used to show interest in making it happen. But this time we managed to make it.
I have few strong reasons which actually made me write a blog about this outing.
Unlike our usual get-togethers, this one was special. 
 Vinu and Lalitha had night shifts on Friday and still they managed to join us on Saturday morning. I think they didn’t even have a couple of hours of sleep.
 Jaykanth, despite suffering from cough and cold didn’t want to skip the outing as he wanted this get-together to happen.
 Divya had to apply leave on Saturday.

This idea of get-together after almost a year was actually initiated by Divya the great and organized by Vinu the leader. So I would like to take this chance to appreciate both of them.  
One interesting point to be noted here is, all the five ladies mentioned above, once our college beauties are now aunts… :)  All are married.. I just gave a though before joining the crew, “How am I going to bare these aunts, will it gonna be a boring trip???”… Ooops, I was utterly wrong…. They all have the same enthusiasm, same interest.. They all still value the friendship…!! The outing really rocked..!

Mr.Vinu had booked a Tavera. He was the first person to get in and started picking everyone at their doorsteps. Jaykanth had come to my house and we both got into the car together.. Thanu was the last one to get in. She had told us that she would wait near Lifestyle. As we reached the place we actually couldn’t find her there. I said, “Kulli astu easy aagi kaansodilla, hudukbeku…(She is so short that she won’t be visible so easily. Shud search for her…) ”….
Except Ragini, everyone else had confirmed previous day, their presence for the outing. But as we reached Kengeri, Ragini gave us a call and told that if we can wait for half an hour, she can also join us. We always wanted to increase the strength and agreed. So just thought of eating something whilst we wait for Ragini. We halted near a small hotel in front of RV Engg College, had some food and then went to Global village (Mphasis building where Ragini works). Here we met Swathi (our classmate who unfortunately couldn’t make it this time) as well. 
It was really nice to see all our classmates almost after 1 year. Nobody had changed except Jumbo, who had put on some more weight. Bruce Lee was just justifying her name :). She was still Bruce Lee….!!! Not many changes in people when looks are concerned.

On the way to our destination, it was so nice to recall all the funny and precious moments we have had during our college days. Stories about old crushes, Funny pranks on lecturers, bunking classes and subsequently getting caught, internal marks, external examiners what else and what not… We never realized that we had already reached our destination whilst we were busy discussing these stuffs. 

We reached INNOVATIVE FILM CITY at around 1 PM.
