Jain Farms near Bangalore

1/Oct/2006: Ayudha Pooja

Time: Till 10:15 am
All the vehicles were washed and the pooja done to it. Flowers were hanging out of all the vehicles to mean another safe year for all the people travelling in them.

All of us had to meet up at my place and leave from there by 10:15 am. As usual only Dolly and TT turned up at the decided time. They were shocked on reaching my place as I was still doing pooja to the vehicles, which is supposed to be long over. OK, fine they had to settle to what was happening, they had to believe as to how slow things were going that day.

Headed to : Jain Farms, Bagalur (JF)

Cost: Rs. 200 per head on Sundays. This includes Lunch and snacks in the evening.

Time: 10:40 am
Varun and the group dropped down. Finally these guys had come. One person had to be picked up from Bommanhalli at 11 am. So after some quick Hi's and hugs, we started.


Time: 11:00 am
Location: Bommanhalli(On the hosur road)
Vehicles: 1 Santro + 1 Alto
No of ppl: 7


Reason for being at this place: Waiting for Deepthi.
Ohh heavens!!! Its 11:20 am and no clue as to where exactly Deepthi is! 2 cars and 7 ppl waiting for a single girl? By now we all knew that she was exactly like her Boy Friend on her time commitments.

Time: 11:30am finally she is here. God bless her. We could have waited no more under this terribly-hot sun.
The only change now being

No of ppl: 8
Guys: Karthik(me), Santhosh, Amit, Varun, Harsha

Gals: Shubha, Priya, Deepthi

Santro: Myself, Dolly & tt.
Alto : Dingri, Tims and 3 gals. (Oooooo !!! cooollllll )

I will not be able to speak about what was going on in the alto. But coming to our car, ohhh!! we had music at high decibel, all of us were singing along and as usual we were cracking some horrible PJ's. Suddenly the other car wanted us to stop, but y? OK, Priya just wanted to travel with us. Cool!!

You need to travel on hosur road until u see a huge flyover with Hosur Bus Stand right next to it. Guys please don't ask anyone route to this place especially near some market cause the guys in the other car had horrible experience making this mistake. When u see the Bus Stand on your right, you got to take the immediate left and JF is around 8 Kms from this left turn. The travel wasn't tiring as the roads were great. Finally we reached JF. It comes to the left.
Picture: Welcome, Welcome to Jain Farms.....

There are basically 4 couples:



You have to pay first, then use all what they have. OK, I let me list out the "time-passes" here.

1st Time pass: Astrology

This guy has a parrot, which is given orders to pic up a card. Basically every card has some god's snap attached to it. Seeing the god that the parrot has selected, this astrologer says some nonsense. He will for sure tell you, " Right now you are going through a difficult phase, just wait for 6 months and you will be able to find the changes which will come across you." Pure nonsense man!!!

2nd Time pass: Pot-Making

Here there were 2 old guys, who knew their job well. He made sure he told us how to go about it before we started off. The first and the foremost thing was making the wheel rotate real fast. This was the most difficult part of the whole pot-making.
Picture:All of us trying our luck with the wheel

One demo and we started off.... Only when we tried, did we realize that the demo was of no use. We needed demo again. Many attempts and still we could never get the final product like him. The Pot-maker's pot was a masterpiece and ours was only piece with no master.
Picture: The final product-Pots

Dingri's pot turned out to be wide-open on both ends :)

3rd Time pass: Cycling

We had to pay extra for this. Just 10 bucks and hour. The problem here is not with the amount we pay, its more to do with the fact that the whole amount must be taken at entry itself. Come-on, we don't want to be told to take out our wallets again and again.

Dolly & myself took off in 2 cycles to find out how big the place is. We found a swimming pool on the way but decided not to pay extra to use it.

Lunch: Not all that good, but we had to survive the day.

4th Time pass: Horse Riding

All of us made sure we sat on the horse. Its no big fun for people who can ride the horse as these guys don't let the horse go fast and there is only a very little place for the horse to move.
Picture: Horse-Power

I had my worst experience with a horse here. A sincere advice, "Don't sing or dance standing behind the horse." I was in my own world singing loudly, and suddenly the horse lifted its hind legs to kick me. To my luck, i wasn't right behind the horse.

5th Time pass: Golf

Rookies can have fun here. There is a small area for golf to be played. Though it looks real small compared to the ones what anyone would have seen, its still fun playing as a rookie.

Picture:When we were tired Golfing, We were busy jumping!!

Picture:Searching for Excitement All around

As always Dolly, Tims, Dingri, tt and I started the game. After around 20 mins all of us, except Dolly, were bugged and we went out of that place. Dolly continued the game with Samaj-Rd(Deepthi). Our brilliant Dolly doesn't mind playing any damn game on this earth.

6th Time pass: Table Tennis, Snooker, Chasing the Ducks

Very few of us tried our hands at this. We started playing snooker at around 5:45 pm after which snacks were provided(Very oily stuff).
Picture: See the way we eat guys.

After intense workout, "Farm-Goddess Varuneshwari" gave us a Divine guest appearance. Her/His (Its) immaculate beauty was mindboggling.



And when we questioned the Farm-Goddess's feminism, he/she(it) cut our heads and placed it on the wall.

LONG LIVE THE HEADS


Time: 6:40 pm
Time to leave.
