Trip to Bhemeshwari

Many a times I wondered why Nishant had refused to go to Bheemsehwari. Was is due to less funds, or less time or the worst of all-no interest. I could never get an answer to that but when in June we decided to make a trip to the Cauvery Fishing camp, I heard a strange voice telling me that this is bound to be special. An ordinary trip for anyone but for the Taurean inside me, this was special.
I was looking forward to meet him again. Afterall we were meeting after three months. There was so much to talk about, so much to share and moreover an intense desire to see him. Love can make you go abosolutely crazy u know!

I was in seventh heaven maybe even a higher one till the moment we were together. The next day we started for Bheemshwari.We started from my place at nine in the morning, it was a nice morning, cloudy skies, cool breeze blowing and lots of eager people in a hurry to reach office.
It was a tiring three hour journey to the camp and Oh what a sight it was! We were nearing the camp and going uphill, one could see the Cauvery water gushing down the hill. I was thrilled, never had seen such a sight before. We reached the camp quite tired and the sun shining above our head. We reached our room through coracle boats. The boatman said there were crocs in the water, but we never encountered one. In the evening we went for rafting, there were three females, Mr N and Mr Vishnu (the guide). I was the boat leader.. even though I am shit scared of water ha ha ha! but i did it .. I rowed the boat for 8.5 km.

There was a camfire in the night, the sight was so beautiful that even words can't do justice in describing it. It was pitch dark, few dim lights were switched on in some huts and the sound of water gusing filled the ears. A small fire with booze and roasted chicken legs yummy! what more could you ask for :-) ...

The next morning was spent on the hammocks and swings. Taking in as much fresh air as we could. The trip was good, a well deserved break, an optimum scenic drives ...I am overwelmed... wanna go there again ;-)
