Finally we made it!!!
We were planning a Bachelors Trip (I am getting married
soon) for over a couple of months. The plans moved from Sri Lanka to Andaman Nicobar to Goa to Madumalai Jungle Resort to Chikmagalur and finally
on the eve of starting the trip it was Wonder La amusement park in Bengaluru.
Our trips are like Kingfisher flights- more cancellations than conductions. But
this one was successful! Even the days shifted from last weekend of September
to first weekend of October then 3rd week and finally the last weekend.
Finally it was Vinni(Vinayaka), Avi (Avinash), Guruji
(Murali), Paddu (Pradeep) and AK (me).
It was a pleasant morning last Saturday. Vinni, Murali
and I set out to Avi's place and from there a gang of 5 left on 3 super
bikes! Uppit and vade breakfast was good. I had my best drive on NICE road. The
road, the scenery around... you feel you have landed on a different planet.
Beautiful!
We reached Wonder La at around 11:30. After a failed attempt
to get 25% off on tickets by proving we are college students, we set our feet
in the amusement park. Felt like half of Bengaluru was there. We started with a
dungeon ride which was supposed to be scary, except for Avi and Murali, none
among the over 10k people there felt that. Then we all went for 'Free Fall'.
This is very scary. The hydraulic lifts you for 20-25 feet and drops you from
there... man, I was mad... with screaming Paddu beside me, it felt like my last
moment! That's the only non-water activity that Paddu participated, for others
he was just holding our glasses, keys, waving at us etc.
Then we went for 'Mixer'- supposed to be toughest in the
park. I was reluctant. It looked very dangerous. But Avi and Vinni, convinced
me (or should it be confused). Man, I am still wondering how I could be alive.
Then another one, which was made to rotate our bodies senselessly. The long
queues for all these didn't deter our spirits. Then we had sumptuous meal.
After taking a break and self glorification talks we set out to water sports.
First we went into the pool and got drenched. It was real fun. Splashing water
over each other. Paddu, Vinni and I had special interest with this pool. The Rain
disco was my favorite. Annamma dance, Mithun da dance and Nagin dance were on
full display. The tunnel water ride, pendulum, lazy river and Flat slides were the sports
we played. We, except Vinni I think, were nervous but we all made it. It was
great fun and a great opportunity to set aside all our fears and self created
phobias. We all did it.
The greatest part of this day out was our bonding. We had a
lovely time. Paddu's witty one liners, Avi's philosophical views on happiness, Vinni's
good-for-nothing inputs, Murali's insights on purpose of life and my... (well, I
will leave this job for other 4 to do).

good one maga..it will be cherised for ever :)
I will start with by saying "What an awesome experience" specially with the people who are close to you like so called friends forever.
I felt this is the time which we never get back as a bachelor again and we have blasted like heaven. It's not the place decides the completeness of any trips, but it's the company we accompany with. In this regard I'm so blissful that I have a friends like AK (Akshay), Avi, Pradeep and Murali.
@AK - I'm sure in your lifetime you cannot be bachelor again so this memorable trip as well.
