We went for a trip to bhimeshwari with our YES+ gang . The trip started with me ,gaurav and rohith getting up early around 4 am and then coming
towards Woodys Restaurant , near ragigudda.This is the place where bus would come and pick us up.Then we waited for everybody to come and finally
we were around 33 bunch of YES+ friends ready for the excitement . The bus came late aorung 8.30 am and with full enthusiam we got into the bus .
The journey started with some songs abviously antakshari .Then Milind (Yes+ teacher ) took charge of the proceedings to entertain us !!. Milind came up with a new game and he explained about the game .We were divided into groups Team A and Team B.So anyone from Team A should act like some famous personality only with actions ,then it was fun all the way with someone actin like Himmesh Reshammiyya,Umpire Billy bowden,Dillip kumar,Sourav ganguly,
etc....Then it was time for some solo performances. Milind was scintilating and was awesome with old romantic songs of Kishore da ,Md rafi .Then it was ramdom songs like rock,pop,new film songs,album songs we were totally crazy i tell you .Finally we reached Bhimeshwari at around 10 30 am .
We had butter milk and we we again divided into groups for trekking . Our adventure was cool,everyone was charged up and enthusiatic iin the beginning but when we reached at the top of the mountain we were totally exhausted and everybody was craving for water :-) . Then we had rest on the mountain top .There was a small idol of Lord Hanuman and we took the blessings and we continued our adventure . Finally we reached on of the most beautiful spots River Cauvery.We could hear the gushing sounds of the river when we were approaching closer towards the river.We finally found a spot near the river bank and everyone was excited to take a plunge into the river . Then in few seconds almost everybody was in the water .The river was surrounded by mountains from all the sides and lots of trees .Then we had lunch near the river bank . And then we came towards the gurukul to take some rest.Then we had some gyan from the teachers of the gurukul about Vedas.We learnt new things and we had fun also .

So in all the picnic was awesome and also informative .It gave us insights to go deep into our culture .
