Bhongir

The meister today went to Bhongir fort. The trip started at 9 in the morning. The birdgirl came and picked the meister up. SS was also there as was Bebo. The journey was very pleasand and it was spent bitching about thta pseudo-legal place. The onlyh other incident worth mentioning was that SS got very excited upon seeing a train.
They reached Bhongir after an hour's journey and promptly got lost while trying to find the entrance. However after a couple of false starts, they managed to locate it, buy the tickets and enter the compound. Upon which they realized that it was gonna be a hell of a climb. Undaunted, the adventurers started the climb and soon SS and the meister were seen huffing and most definitely puffing. After almost an hour, climb they reached an area from where the meister refused to go further up coz of his vertigo/altophobia. SS very sweetly agreed to accompany him while Birdgirl and Bebo went further up. One extraordinary thing that happened here was that Bebo was actually blown over by the wind- she actually fell down. After that they held hands and went up. While the other two were up, meister and SS sat and speculated about the history of the fort. They also discovered a bigass rock shaped like an anvil. Soon, the two girls started to come down. Bebo took an unique approach, she slid down on her butt. It was late found out that apparently fibers came out of her jeans. The 4 some then had lunch comprising brown rice, fish tikka and potato chips. Bebo had iced tea and sausage in a bun while SS ate only chips. This was the first time meister ate brown rice. He didn't even know that there is ricethat is brown!!!!
After lunch they proceded downweards and en route the meister made a complete of himself coz of his phobias. However, he still managed to clean the fort by collecting quite a bit of discarded junk plastic( which some very civic minded morons have lovingly left behind in the fort) and getting rid of them once outside.
From Bhongir, the 4some went to Charminar where Bebo bought some bangles. She surprised every1 with her bargaining prowess. She bought the bangles for 40 bucks while the shopkeeper was asking for 300 bucks!!!!!
After shopping, they went to Prasads to see KungFu Panda. The meister got his BP checked and it came a t 117-74, which was terrific considering that 6 months ago it was 160-110.
The 4some had some subs and cold coffee at Subway (well duh!!!) They also got some apple struddle/struffle/struggle/whatever free with their subs. The apple thingies were quite good actually.
The movie was bloody awesome.
So all in all it was a great day.

The icing on the top was when
1. the meister bought a newspaper and read that the indian pugilists have made it to the quarter ,
2. when the meister heard from his dad that Arsenal has won only by a single solitary goal against West Bromwich Albion (potentially the team which will win the least number of points this season)

and 3. when the meister came home and realized that he had inadvertently locked his roommate in the apartment all day... wuhooo
