The people, warm and smiling.
The culture, still hardcore kannadigas.
The weather, hot n dry during day, and coool during evening/night/early morning(this time of the year).
The water, sweet and cool.(its Tunga baby!)
The benne masale/kay chutni, ammmazing!
The coffee, exquisite.
Thats shimoga!
Found out a LOT about this place. Facts, ideas, thoughts, politics, religion most of which cannot be discussed here. had been to a wedding in a place called hoshalli, which, people call as "a completely different world" compared to the "shimoga" everybody knows, for reasons best not discussed here. if you have seen mayamruga, with the mathur and hosalli stories, you have a vague idea.
anyways, we went to sakrebail elephant camp, gajanur(tunga) dam, went boating on tunga, then we hit tyavarekoppa tiger n lion safari thru shimoga(its on the road to sagara/jog from shimoga). we dint have it in us to see my friend's farm nearby. we had to get back to the hotel, pack up and leave to catch the train to bangalore.
Many more places on the MustSee list, an awesome weekend... totally worth it!
PS: i missed the Maiden Concert for this short trip. you can read abt it here and here.
