Journey to zaheerabad.. experience to remember

Long back, I stayed in PG for some days, where I stayed with my 2 friends(infact one is my college friend (dharwad) and other joined little late to my room(from Gulbarga) ) . Now after 4 years, Gulbarga friend had called for his marriage to Zaheerabad(Zbad). After hearing the place name Zbad (heard like afaganistan place), thought for 2 mins whether to go or not. As we are very close to him we decided to go there. Plan was to stay in hyderbad for a day to see Ramoji film city, travel to Zbad the next day comeback to B angalore the same night.

Dec 4th 4.30 pm: left the office to station. Reached station at 6pm, as train was at 6.20pm(kacheguda train)During journey, I talked to the co passanger who studied in IIT delhi Mtech. He was telling experiences in the college and Delhi life. As he was hyderdadhi, we asked about film city, how to go.. He told so much about Ramoji, we got excited. After discussing about 2 hrs, at the end, he told he never been there. wat a joke!!

dec 5th 6.30 pm: We reached hyderbad, that guy guided us to go in bus and said its only 2 stops from staion.

We took bus to Koti. In the bus, my friend told (2)Eradu ( he has character like, he talks first in kannada to anybody). Conductor gave 8 tickets, this guy was simply seeing and took eight tickets. Then he showed sign two and took only two tickets and told conductor to inform near Koti. ( I was seeing, wat made him to take 8 tickets.)

Bus was going, 2 stops passed, 3 passed, 4 passed, then we realised we might have crossed the Koti. (Conductor would have shouted, but we dint listen) . We got down 2 stops further, walked back to koti. I always thought of having morning walk, it was very nice morning walk. ( the walk turned to a shock after some distance, as we had luggage too).We had tea in udupi hotel, booked lodge .We freshened and started at 8.30 am to Ramoji. We got #205 bus which charges 10 rs. (we dint book 150 rs bus package) where we met people from bangalore who also had come to visit Ramoji.We reached ramoji at 10am.

Ramoji film city is having good sets and studios, took photos, spent good time around 5 hrs. its a very hyped up place. You dont need one full day to see.we got bored and left at 3.30 pm, got bus to Koti around 4pm. reached 5.30 to room again, had tea again in same udupi hotel, which was half open because of a fear of strike. We talked to the hotel owner, he told its not safe to go out as strike had already started and people had burnt buses and all.

We took 2 hr rest and around 7.30 pm, We watched news and came to know that it was 2 days bandh in hyderabad. we left for dinner. on the way we met again those same guys(morning Banglore people) , where we came to know that their bus ha d been stopped by mob(strike) on the way and they took auto to come back. We thought we were lucky as we dint face any problem. But mind started thinking wats waitng tmrw ?????? :-|

We searched for good restaurant and we found out near Bank street, we gave break to our thoughts and had good party. :-P After coming back to room, we thought and decided and determined(atleast we will try rather than sitting in the room) to go to marriage on next day.

dec 6th: we checked out hotel at 7 am and came to know that all transportation is stoppped. told to hotel guy that we will come back if we dont get anything, to go.As we stepped outside, we saw it was dead silent. After some distance saw some auots here and there.We walked to the MG bus stand, where we saw some people sitting, everthing is empty no bus, no taxi. We enquired is there any way to go to zaheeraabad to attend marriage, came to knw that if we go to outside city Pattencheru or kukkatapalli we will get truck. so we decided to go Pattencheru in auto.we waited for truck to come , waited waited at last one truck came, our auto driver only helped to get seat. Thank God, we are going Zbad. we reached Zbad around 11am.

We attended marriage , my friend in bridegroom was shining. We wished him. My friend was surpirsed that we came from Hyderbad as his collegues got stuck in lodges. We had good marriage food, told my friend to eat more as we dont know, at wat time we will have food again. :)

Now the question was how to come back to hyderbad to catch train at 9pm. trucks wont not go inside city as there were chances of mob attack. so decided to go in train.

Reached station at 2.50 pm, people told there train is at 3 pm. its passenger train, came to know it will reach at 8.30 pm. (Actually it just 80 km distance) that means 6 hrs in train. We knew that there would be a lot of rush as there was only one train that time. Train dint come at 3pm , meanwhile we were watching gully cricket at the near by station, it was also fun as We remebered our childhood cricket. We heard news that India had won 2 nd test agianst SriLanka , felt happy :) Train came at 3.50 pm.Any how managed to get into the train and place for standing. We thought we may miss our train which is at 9pm. somehow had gut feeling that we will makeit. As its passanger train, cycle goes faster than that train.

Hyderabadi people are as helpful as Karnataka people (their pronounciation of the place names is very confusing), they told to catch local train to go to Kacheguda station directly.We came to LingamPalli where we got Phalaknuma local train to kacheguda station, we reached at 8.45pm, ailaa we reached... We were lucky, nobody stopped train in between as they did the next day. We searched for bogie, as we entered into train , it started, we both just laughed as we dont know other than that(atleast me) :)

Dec 7th 12pm: We reached yashwantpur, got bus to majestic and even before the bus started we met with Traffic , my mind told "Welcome to Bangalore" .

It was 3 days of hectic journey full of unexpected things, myself and my friend enjoyed fully. Its good experience to remember, so chalked it out in blog.

Why we call our loved ones as 'Honey' ???

Hi all,

Has anybody thought the answer for above question? Now it has become style symbol to call 'Honey' to loved ones,
1.Are you feeling okay, honey?

2.Where shall we go tonight, honey?

3. Where did you put my glasses, honey?

4. Let's go to bed, honey!

do they really mean it? Thats not my headache. but the why this word 'Honey' came. (This is all my opinion, dont take serious and tension in life. the blog looks longer, but if you read you will get good idea about real honey)

Lets see.

Background:

One day morning , I was coming in bike to office, and as usual there was traffic jam near silkboard signal, I was waiting for the green color to come. But anyhow it would take time. (most people know, how much silkboard signal can make you wait.. )In between , I was watching here and there in the signal for better time pass. But no luck. So my mind was trying to find the some topic, simply to think. But unfortunately , the topic came about my health itself. I was thinking, from last 4 months, wats my health status.. mind was analysing.
10%.. 50%... 90% ... 100%
, yeah the analysis is over, an it dispalyed report. The report said, I took 4 sick leave in those 4 months, but 2 are genuine sicks and other 2 are not. :). Ok lets see the report of sicked one.

The one sick leave is stomuch upset, the reason , too much exercise in Gym..
The other sick leave is slight accident, the reason. too much speed in bike....

But no other sickness.. I thought , its good man, I have not suffered from cough and cold from last so many days. Its like achievement, because otherwise this cold is like pickle in meal . So, I thought , I was missing it, but for the good reason. After so much thinking process happened, the Greeen signal came and crossed silkboard junction.

The night , I came late to home, I slept late, morning when I woke up, I could not breath propely,
god .. the reason simple, my nose has blocked, my old friend visited me again thats COLD. I thought, why only unwanted things happens so quickly in life, but no choice, lets face it and enjoy it.

The 2 days was good with inhaling vicks inhaler, but after 2 days also the cold dint stop. After that his friend COUGH also joined. I deteremined , not to go to doctor, as this came because of my mind, and i dint want to waste money for the doctor and antibiotic medicines. So I wanted to take only free, natural remedies. One day , I fully browsed the net, in this 9 out of 10 article gave good solution to the cold and cough. The one in that 'HONEY diagonosis' .
The honey diagonosis is good to control the cough and cold. Its simple thing: mix Warm water + 2 ts Honey + 1 ts lemon . and drink. It really works, atleast it worked for me.

Now come to

Honey is of value in treating burns, infected surgical wounds and ulcers. Honey is very viscous, enabling it to absorb water from surrounding inflamed tissue.
