Mysooru Dasara…

… yeshtondu sundara 🙂

* Visited the Mysore palace and the Dasara flower show..

* Clicked pics .. 🙂

* Sat in the lawns and enjoyed the song and dance performances by some orchestra group while eating the famous delhi papad and menasinakayi bhajjis 🙂

* Lunch at uncle’s place on Ayudha pooja

* Visited the Dasara exhibition… but had to return disappointed coz of power/generator failure at the amusement rides 😦

* Walked along the brightly lit streets looking at the milling crowds, vehicles and tanga passing by..

* On Dashami, lazed at home… reread a couple of books and watched the dasara procession live telecast on TV.

* Kids vetoed the idea of venturing out in the evening … they were busy building temples and high rises and did not want to be disturbed 😀

* Watched the grand fireworks that mark the end of Dasara celebrations from the terrace 🙂

* On the last day… managed to go and meet my friends G n S from my university days. Spent just couple of hours.. had to catch the train at 2.00 pm. They are my can-pick-up-from-where-you-left type of friends 🙂 and needless to say we can go on talking if left to ourselves 😀

At the Dasara exhibition…

As we went during the later part of Dasara, we missed the events that were part of Entertainment Dasara and Yuva Dasara. Next time I plan to go during the earlier part and catch up on these… 🙂 Hopefully, there will be some interesting events and i’ll have the company of my friends!!

Happy weekend folks 🙂
