You will instantly understand the difference of Mothers&#8217; cooking, if you stay outside. Thanks to our cook in flat, I understood the difference and enjoyed good food after many days..<\/p>\n<p>We met at Town Hall at around 1&#8217;o clock. Peevee and Sreevidya were already waiting for us. Within half an hour or so, other folks joined in&#8230; and we started.<\/p>\n<p>Road after the diversion from beautiful Mysore Road is quite bad.<\/p>\n<p>After almost 45 minutes, we reached Manchinbele&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It was raining, and cloudy.. we could spot a few coracle boats. The place was looking beautiful. We could spot different birds&#8230; Green Bee Eater, Wild Pegion, Kingfisher to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>The vast water body was looking awesome at the time of Sunset. We enjoyed a lot.<\/p>\n<p>When most of the people left, Akshath, Shreelesh, Sowmya and myself were trying to do some low light photography. I was missing my Tripod.. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>We decided to come back again, thought to spend whole day watching birds.<\/p>\n<p>At night, we went to Neelamangala to drop Sowmya at her house. And her mom had already cooked for us.<\/p>\n<p>I had a wonderful dinner too&#8230; the pork was awesome. It was so tasty, I was telling that I would not go back in Bangalore&#8230; (partly due to the reason that Akshath told that he would drive at 120kmph).. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>All in all I had a wonderful day with some wonderful people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a place called Big Banyan Tree.
