4th December 2010,it was a dull cold morning. We were supposed to depart from the hostel at 7.00,But finally we got out at 8.15 thanks to certain people who were busy doing their make up!
On reaching mangalore 4d returned back to hostel telling he was sick(but god knows what the actual reason was!).any way kk arrived at mangalore to maintain our strength. we had our breakfast in naivaidya and later took a bus to belthangdy from the ksrtc bus stand. Highlight of the bus trip was that the people were discussing about their possible gpa's and there was a showdown between SHRI SHRI Sohan Suvarna'ji and 'teja without a sound bheja'(due to the torture Mr Shri Shri was giving him).

we got down in ujjre,packed food from a small restaurant. Boomer develops a good rapport with the konkani speaking owners.
The owner suggested that we take the rickshaws from there all the way to the fort as we would not get rickshaws in near vicinity of the fort. When we questioned about the honesty of the rickshaw drivers,he tells us about a rickshaw driver who stands up for justice,the one who can even beat up a fellow rickshaw driver for dishonesty. Well After half an hour we got a glimpse of this great man(mr sattu). He definitely looked like a roudy out on probation driving rickshaw as a part of the community service. Plus the no.of cigarettes he was smoking improved his don image.

we hired two autos.9 people sat in one 8 in the other,must say was an unique experience .Sandesh was worried wether his ass would be scalped by lorry/bus from other side. He felt as if he was shooting for saw 8.Finally we reached the trek route entrance. .we had to pay a trekking fee of about 40 bucks.
After a brief photo session we started of the ascent very enthusiastically Initially we felt climbing up the hill was easy .Then size of steps started increasing ,steepness increased, The afternoon sun started blazing above our heads.we split into three groups.The initial group having athletic people,the second group having people high on enthu,third group had nerds like me who were trying their best to reach the top. my group included teja,aks,ds and kk.
Teja's battery was down even this time.Last time the reason was lime juice,this time??i don't know he is still finding something to blame upon.Me and kk led the pack followed by ds and aks .teja was the one man army coming last but was carrying something extremly important.Intrestingly only airtel network had signal in the trek route.I learnt a lesson from my two treks---->BSNL network sucks where it matters the most("I cant believe it took me so long to accept this fact").

Periodically when we would meet the other groups in the pit stops they would enquire about teja, not that they were worried about him,they were more concerned wether he would make it to the the top with our lunch which he was carrying. As the leader teja had taken the responsibility to carry it(might have regretted this decision later!!).He was an exceptional leader, it was just that he was leading from behind.
The first batch had the likes of boomer to do the "I will talk you to death work",the second batch was having the likes of SHRI SHRI Sohan Suvarna'ji to do the "i will bore you to death with my PJ's" work,The third batch which included me had a person who could do "i will S*D*CE you do death" work. Just kidding,nothing much happened between the jummbooo boy and the insectophilic boy.
After a lot of struggle we managed to reach the top of the hill and what we found out was a damaged watch tower. come on i don't understand why it is called the jamalabaad fort while it has no actual fort up there.One thing i observed particularly was that almost everyone abused tipu sultan using every possible slang in kannada.--->his fault:"who told him to build such a cruel and steep trek route up to the top of the hill?". Atleast we understood what the prisoners had to go through before before being executed on top.
After a brief session of photography everyone settled down to have the lunch. Then we played Mafia(LOCO wing's National game--->most important thing after the LOCO anthem).

At about four we started the descent. If i thought the ascent was difficult,the descent was even more uncomfortable. The muscles in my legs were behaving involuntarily and were trembling as i would step down each time.It was pretty hard to stop myself once i got started--->i mean the decsent. Also strange things could be seen.What appeared to be a giant shiv linga from the top of the route ,turned out to be the dome of a mosque. we would never realize that if the evening prayers were not relayed through loud speakers.
Mr sattu(the rowdy type rickshaw driver) was waiting at the trek entry point to drop us to belthangdy.After having ice cream and musumbi juice,we left to mangalore.
There was an intense debate on where to eat???non-vegetarians routing for newly built kfc,some refuse for the reason-->how will girls respond if they see us in this condition. The veggies were routing for pabbas.
Sovi proposed we would go to the Hao Ming restaurant.

In the restaurant complex there was an institute called "Institute for studies on women"--->wonder what that meant!!
we had separate veg-non veg table. Boomer was taking the help of the turtles in the pond to hit at a beautiful nitk girl.we saw many high profile
nitk people like the chem CR,prabhu ke darshan and some couples.
The EC CR started his sixth sem duty there by ringing up the profs.

Overall it was a fantastic trip that i had,be it for the sceneries i got to see at the top of the hill or for the physical enrichment my otherwise un-exercised and lazy body received(the result for the next three days wasn't pleasant though!!).I should sincerely thank the LOCO wing and Varun for organizing this wonderful trip.
some interesting conversations:

Ct:Eh nanna kunde eegaa slice aagtade. vollee SAW8 shooting naditha untuu.
