En route Kemmangundi

The journey – 4 hour long one – was expected to be tiresome. This was where Chaitra, Madhuri and I got into action. We had decided that no one should sleep during the trip. Chaitra and Madhuri were given the responsibility to conduct games. I had bought a Housie board and we played a game of that. It almost consumed an hour and managed to wake up everyone who were on the brink of falling asleep. Chaitra was ready with a quiz. Her voice, for the first time, was used for other than shouting. With 50 questions, and another number game, we managed to pass another 2 hours. With lots of encouragement from the elders, even Ananya, who had brought her GK book along, ended up quizzing us! Of course, we were not the ones to just answer the questions. With a lot of pulling of legs, we managed to bring her questions to a stop.
In the meanwhile, Sharathu, Dodappa and Kumara mava had gone to check the rooms already booked (It was booked with the influence of the director of the horticulture department himself). They had to decide whether to stay in the dormitories, which were outside or in the rooms available within Kemmangundi. Finally, they decided upon the rooms within Kemmangundi. The canteen nearby (the only one) was much better than what we had anticipated. The food was, in fact good! We had planned on a small trek to the Z Point nearby early in the morning. A bunch of us were excited and was decided that we leave by 5 and return by 8.
