Chennai God Meet Hyderabad God and again yet another history created-- "GodS In The Wilds"






Story began with my welcome on chennai community by God of chennai, many plan crumbled and at last one got a layout completed , last night i recieved an sms saying
"ALL Hail to Godhood! The Chennai Gods- Arooran,Prashant , harry and sandy with the god from the land of nawab-Saurabh, are gearing up once again after a long time to hot the road on nh 5. tada trip is finally happenning, Starting sharp at 7am at koyembedu CMBT chennai" It shocked me , and the end result was i have skipped the plan of sleeping the whole night spent time watching some of the greatest movies like "In to the Wilds" and "Charlie Wilson's War".






I started from my place around 5:30am , waited for 30mins for cab, then after sitting into cab came to know that only me and sandy are the left gods now in ride, harry same not lifting the call at last movement, others informed sandy earlier.
Reached Vadapalani at 7:00 exact , waited for sandy till 7:30am , at when we meet to gods got united to hit road started to cross the muddy chennai traffic. Sandy driving wild , wilder and wildest...crossing between two trucks , taking deep turns...and lot more...constant at 80 reached andhra boarder around in 40 mins...stopped had some pics...and again moved forward...pulicat lake cold breeze kept us alive in that hot sun at NH5...reached tada at about in a 1:30 hrs.
Now the Game began, started with one one peg of Signature...at the verst place of my life...got in to the road that leads to the ubbalamadugu Waterfalls



...at entrance stoopped for tickets 20 each and 50 for camera and 20 for parking, now the road which leads sandy baby it to the worst experience it ever had ... sandy fall down in sand , fighted the rocks to reach parking lot...
After reaching we had all pains right in the starting of trip ... started with a hope to reach mountain top, with no treeking gears and no bags also...carrying water bottles and snacks in plastic bags...reached first stop and met a group called "sa chennai trekking club"...Peter was the leader of group...from belgium now in chennai from past 10 years...working as a project manager in cisco...
We walked the way to the first natural swiming pool discussing about his trips and our grp plans and trips...
Seeing the water we could specialy i could not wait at all jumped...swimmed ..divied...after enjoying and getting wet completely again started to wards the top...after a distance of 2kms i realized we were moving towards bottom of mountain with straight stretch...asked sandy what we will get by doing this...started with again a hope of getting some supper atom bomb at last...falling down many time on sleepery rocks...climbing difficult straight streches...and at last that atom bomb busted and reached the most clear natural swiming pool at last...jumped with out waiting...but was feering to go till last as not knowing the depth ..once peter came we crossed till end and in middle got a big rok which was like a pit stop in F1 RACE....then peter decided to bring all guys/girls to that place by building rope of shirts...it was horrible people meeirly able to swim was trying to cross some drowmed almost mee peter sandy and a other guy of grp was helping this to happen and at last they all are able to cross...the depth and return back safely...
Affter that the return path started and i was almost leading the grp again to back , again crossing some difficult streches which can broke legs/head if not taken seriously...we reached back at 5:00pm ..it was evening..and me and samdy without food was dying for bear and food...so without wasting time started fast by saying by to the group...got fosters chilled on the way had it...got a punjabi dhaba...had a chilled chicken with hot tawa roti and fosters...
