Boring 2nd weekend....

14/05/2011

After a great trip in the first week, mom and dad were really tired. Dad decided to head to Ernakulam on the Monday which followed the weekend. And it was just three of us (mom, bro and myself). We decided not to spend time sitting idle in the house. Instead, spend time within the city for a change with our cousins. We thought that “IT WOULD BE REALLY FUN!!!”. But the contrary was the one which happen.

...........................We visited Mantri Mall ... It was really boring to go to the mall especially, when you think of the shopping in the malls. It happened to be a very bad & boring day for us (me and bro). But our cousins & mom seemed to really enjoy it. If there was a 3^rd party present in our group. He could probably measure the height of ambivalence in the group.

We somehow managed the complete day.

A VISIT TO LALBAGH.......

We decided for the next day to go some other place other than shopping. The only place we could think of was ‘Lalbagh Gardens’. Lalbagh gardens are known as ‘Lover’s Spot’. Lalbagh Gardens stretches around 1/3^rd of the city. When someone’s says it is Lover’s Spot our mind might start to swirl to things like fountains, rose gardens, neatly cut grass with sprinkling waters all around it. It was truly the same with the case lalbagh gardens.

View of pine like tree in Lalbagh Gardens....

A tree named after our former PM - Rajiv Gandhi...

This was the most old fashioned tree in Lalbagh. It is said that this tree is more than 1000 yrs old....

Neatly cut grass resembling different shapes...

                                                        Donald Duck made out off grass.......

Dinosaur gate ways made out of grass....

The flowers and neatly cut grass shapes looked very amazing. Big positive to say about Lalbagh Gardens, the maintenance of the place was excellent. And there were fountains at lot of places reminded me of the Musical Fountains at Brindavan Gardens in Mysore.

Glass Palace......

Fountain before the glass palace.....

Glass Palace in Night.....

Glass Palace in Light.....

A True Piece of Work.....

But here we were in for a big surprise. There was a big palace made out of glass in the centre of the park. The most illuminating thing about it was that, when it becomes night, the lights are turned ON and the glass palace illuminates as if like a heavenly chamber.

We left the place at 7 pm.

We ended our day with a small dinner in a restaurant called as ‘Andal Mess’ in Indira Nagar. The food was very homely and also very cheap.
