May Month!!

HELLO!! A nice hello to everyone out there :)
Wow!! Im back to my blog quite earlier than previous time and Im happy about it. :)
So, how May month had been for all of you?And for me May month had been quite good, except for having lots of work at office.Ok lets get into good part of my May month.
This month gave me opportunity to be a part of three different kinds of social gathering.I was a part of
1.Popular Gangamma Jatre at Malleswaram,
2.Masti at WonderLa,
3.Sunfeast Marathon 09

All of the 3 social gathering was a great fun in their own unique way.I thouroughly enjoyed all of them.

Coming to first one,The Gangamma jatre at malleswaram is a popular festive event which will be held every year where people worship their deity and seek her blessings for a healthy year.And it was 81st year celebration and every year it goes on for three days with many rituals to goddess gangamma.And women dressed in Yellow sari carrying kalasha prayed for long lives of their husbands and maidens worshiped her for good husbands and there was a Huvina Karaga also.And the third and final day there was a nice proccession of goddess gangamma which was accumpanied with different styles of folk activities like viragaase,etc.Lakhs of people came to offer payers and Malleswaram was in complete festive mood all 3 days.

And here are few pics captured by me for those who could not make it for the auspicious event.









May goddess ganga bless everyone one of us.

Second social gathering in the month May was trip to Wonder la.We few friends were planning to Wonder la from a long time and May month gave us one nice saturday where all of us could make it.

As it was summer holidays for kids and also it was a weekend,wonderla was filled with energetic people enjoying their time with family, kids and friends.
We also had a great time enjoying super cool dry rides and water rides there.Even though we could not try out all the rides due to time constraint, we thoroughly enjoyed all the rides we did.

Dry rides were simply amazing even though few rides were bit scary.:) water rides were the best part and was simply good.

We tried Techno Jump, Crazy cars, Pyrate ship, Dungeon ride and high thrill rides Maverick and Y-Scream in dry rides category and enjoyed Twisters, Fun racers, Wave pool, Play pool, Water pendulum and Rain disco in Water rides category :)

And amidst all our lovely rides we dint miss enjoying our light lunch in the afternoon and snacks and ice cream in the evening. :)
And i must tell u the amusement park is very well maintained.And its a place where u can have loads of fun with family and friends. Dont foget to visit the place atleast once.

Third social gathering was Sunfeast-09 Marathon in Bangalore which was held on 31st of May.
Many people from our company had participated in Majja run (5KM) and also in Open 10KM run.I ran in Majja run and it was an amazing experience.

We(me n my friend in office) registered our name for the event with hesitation but then we decided that as we have registered we would surely go for the run.

On the day of the event got up early and i got ready with my track pants, company T shirt, my new Nike shoes and took one water bottle in Goodie bad and reached Kanteerava stadium in time and met my friend there and had a group photo session before starting the majja run and then headed for the run.


There were thousands of people who had gathered from all across the world to participate in this event to grab the prize money and it was nice to see thousands of Bangaloreans, senior citizens,disabled people who were running for different causes.And also there were so many people who were cheering the runners.

And this was the first time i actually ran with thousands of people in Bangalore.It was great!!

In the beginning i thought 5KM is a short distance and i can easily finish it but when we started with it i was getting tired constantly.At that time i remembered my dad's words "practice a bit for atleast few days, before jumping into 5KM" which i kept ignoring.But finally we successfully completed our 5KM run and were happy and feeling good about it.

After successful completion of 5KM run, im confident that i will be able to complete 10KM run next year but with prior practice.

Overall, Sunfeast marathon 09 was a nicely organised event and i was a part of this successful historical event in Bangalore. :)

All together, all my 3 social gatherings were a great fun in its own way and if u guys get an opportunity to be a part of any social gathering dont miss it, go ahead and be a part of it.I assure u its refreshing and helps us know and find ourselves better.

Hoping to have fun in coming months also. :)
