Mantralayam

Time: 22-24 Jan 2010
Place: Mantralayam
Company: Wife and parents
Highlights:

Day 0: Hampi link express at 10.30 pm. Was a long time (almost an year) since I went in an Indian train!

Day 1: Saw the flood ravaged city. Its almost back to normal but one can still see the debris and the level which the water had reached. The Mutt is back in business. Did hejje namaskar for the first time! Went to our relatives house. Saw videos of the massacre which the floods had caused in and around the city. Also heard about the sorrow tales. Could not go to Bichchale because of the washed out and unrepaired bridge. Took the Udyan back to Bangalore at 10.30 pm.

Day 2: Reached Bangalore at 9 am. For some strange reason, train started going backwards to Cantonment for about 5 mins when it was just few meters away from the Central station!

Apologies for the spelling mistake. Read it as "don't miss going to....." and not MISSING.
