Jog falls

I was excited to go the Jog falls this time after a long time as i had rained heavily the previous week and in all the news papers there "was" a picture of the falls one day or the other.....

With all the excitement we at last reached Jog only to be shocked by the number of tourists..... its indescribable......

Not only this put me off but it was also the fog which took all the excitement away......

As soon as i saw falls my first thoughts were...ok this is it 'this is Jog falls, let's go back'.....

But as time elapsed there were glimpses of the waterfall now and then but the constant distractions were the "people"- innumerable people present there (later we learnt that there were some 60,000 people there that very same day)......

Only beautiful sight of the falls came when we were near the British Bunglow......

But to reach that destination we had already taken some 2-3hrs as the number of vehicles were lined upto 5-6kms!!!!!!!

As usual bored with the long traffic jam me and my friend decided to walk....and we walked and wlaked and walked.....which was really great as i was craving for this kind of a change from a very long time......

As a whole nice experience both looking at the people and the waterfall....more of the people than the waterfall i guess:)))))

A picture is worth.....

They say a picture is worth thousand words.....
But i always believed that a few words can create thousand pictures in your head.....
Something similar happened with me whenever i used to read one particular blog (whose name i don't want to mention)......
His ideas always fascinated me whenever i read his blogs and more importantly his photographs (of nature) spoke million words about his character.....
But recently while i was browsing through something accidentally i happened to see this person's photograph......
And i had a kind of weird feeling because my imagination about the person was something completely different (including the looks) but after looking at the photo i felt there was some kind of a misfit somewhere.....
And more interestingly, i had taken a trip to Jog falls this weekend and there i saw a person who looked exactly like this BLOG person (i recognized him because i had seen his photo just the previous day).....
At that moment i even thought that it's him....
But am still not sure......
If it was the same person then i must say that his blogs, his own picture and himself (the person whom i actually saw) doesn't match at all.....
The main reason for this was just because the person whom i saw was smoking!!!!!
But the BLOG person is soooooo much socially concerned and i wouldn't think that a person like him would be SMOKING.....
And more importantly, he did not have a CAMERA with him.....
That was even more a misfit as its impossible to imagine HIM without a camera (atleast not when was in Jog falls at this season).....
Whatever am still confused if saw the right person or just.........may be hallucinated:)))
So i think a picture can surely speak a thousand words but sometimes it also erases a thousand pictures that you have in your mind about someone (or something) which was formed because of their words.....
