Unusual dates in the Year 2011!!

This year we experienced and are going to experience four unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11;

That's not all ... take the last two digits of the year in which you were born; now add the age you will be this year, and the result will be 111 for everyone! For example - Harry was born in 1957, and 57 + 54 = 111 This is the year of Money!!!

This year October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Saturdays. This happens only every 823 years.

Mekedatu and Chunchi falls Trip...

Hi Friends,

I'm back with another post after a Very Very long time....

Want to share my Trip to Chunchi Falls, Mekedhaat and Sangam....

After having a son in 2008 with a daughter I have in 2006....It was the first family trip we went for!!

Of course my complete family was not joined but it was only Me-my Wife and 2 kids who went for the trip...

Chunchi Falls:

The Chunchi falls is settled 90 km away from Bangalore city. It is 16 km before the Sangama and is located in the Kanakapura taluk.

The waterfall is cited among the amazing ranges of rocks on the banks of the River Arkavati. It is located on the way to Yelehalli from Sangam. One can reach to Chunchi falls from Kanakapura. The waterfall is in scenic settings and it offers eye catching panoramic views of the surroundings.

The waterfall has quicksilver flow of gleaming ripples and is placed in an exquisite rocky valley. It is surrounded by dense and green forests. The falls is a popular picnic spots.

Mekedatu and Sangam:

Mekedatu is a location along Kaveri in Kanakapura Taluk. Sangama is the place where Arkavati merges with Kaveri. From this point, about 3.5 kilometers downstream, the river Kaveri flows through a deep gorge so narrow that one would think that a goat can leap across it ('Mekedatu' means, 'goat's leap' in Kannada). But, it is not really so narrow and no goat in the World could cross that distance in a single leap. This place is about 90 km from Bangalore via Kanakapura.

The name comes from an incident which is believed to have witnessed by herdsmen in that area a long time ago. It is said that a goat being chased by a tiger made a desperate attempt to save its life by leaping from one side of the gorge and managed to cross over the raging river below, whereas the tiger did not attempt to replicate this feat, and abandoned the chase. The point where the goat leapt has widened since then from erosion caused by the river Cauvery.

There is also some mythological significance to this place (both Sangama and Mekedatu.) As per one version, the goat (meke) that is believed to have lept across the Kaveri was Lord Shiva in disguise. On both rocky precipices of the gorge, one can find strange holes, whose shapes resemble goats' hooves, though several times larger. It was thought that only divine goats could have marked their 'footprints' in such hard rocks.

Best Time to visit:

Post monsoon is the best time to see these 3 places. August to January is the best season.

Michael Jackson’s 2nd autopsy report leaked........

A post mortem examination done on Jackson following his death last week found the 1.78-metre tall pop superstar weighed just 51 kilograms, Britain’s The Sun newspaper reported.
The 50-year-old’s stomach was reportedly empty except for some partially-dissolved pills and his hips, thighs and shoulders were pockmarked with needle wounds - believed to be the legacy of injected narcotic painkillers.
Jackson was also almost completely bald, with just a covering of “peach fuzz” left on his scalp, the pathologist noted in the alleged report. He died wearing a wig.
The report stated Jackson several broken ribs caused by rescuers pumping his chest to try to resuscitate him after he went into cardiac arrest.
Four injection marks on his chest revealed attempts to pump adrenaline directly into his heart, The Sun reported.
The description of the dead star came as his former in-house doctor, Conrad Murray, denied having injected Jackson with a powerful painkiller before his death.
“There was no Demerol. No OxyContin,” Dr Murray’s lawyer, Edward Chernoff, told the Los Angeles Times newspaper.
“He checked for a pulse. There was a weak pulse in his femoral artery. He started administering CPR.”
Mr Chernoff said his client was stunned by Jackson’s death.
“He was the one who suggested the autopsy to the family while they were still in the hospital. He didn’t understand why Michael Jackson had died,” he said.

Good Morning Friends

How much ever we dislike somebody, someday we will need their assistance.

Have A Nice Day!!!!

A man hated his wife's cat and he decided to get rid of it. He drove

20 blocks away from home and dropped the cat there. The cat was

already walking up the driveway when he approached his home.

The next day, he decided to drop the cat 40 blocks away but the same

thing happened. He kept increasing the number of blocks but the cat

kept coming home before him.

At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left,

past the bridge, then right again and another right and so on until he

reached what he thought was a perfect spot and dropped the cat there.

An hour later.... The man calls his wife at home and asked her, "Jen

is the cat there?" "Yes, why do you ask?" answered the wife.

Frustrated the man said," Put that damn cat on the phone, I am lost

and I need directions to reach home!!!

Moral:

“ How much ever we dislike somebody, someday we will need their

assistance. So never worry how many people dislike you... ”
