Trip 4. BANGALORE - WELLINGTON - OOTY , via MYSORE. 27 NOVEMBER - 02 DECEMBER 1999.

Ravi was doing Staff College in 1999. Jiji was also staying with him. Since our move to Bangalore he had been calling us. By the end of November we knew that we were not getting extension but instead of 30 Nov we were going to be released from re-employment on 31 December 1999.

Decided to visit Ravi at Wellington. While there did a day trip to Oooty with Jiji and Rachana.

While returning dropped in T Pradip Shetty's Place. Anjail had to go to Bangalore so gave her lift to Bangalore. However we decided to visit giant statue of Bahubali at Sharvanbealagola.

Did the trip 27 Nov to 03 Dec 99.

Went to Wellington via Mysore , Bandipore /Madumala Wild Life sanctuary Portion of the Wild Lifesanctuary in  Karnatakais called  Bandipore and the portion in TamilNadu is known as Madumala Wild Life Century.Approaching the hills was scary. It looked like a vertical wall. My first encounter with such steep       "ghat "road.                                             

It was wonderful visiting DSSC after 1978 when we had done the course. Tremendous changes . This time there were no two wheelers only cars !!! HUGE parking place .
