Its been a long time since I took a long drive. Me and Kiran (my roommate) planned to visit Mysore on Sunday on his Pulsar. Mysore is 150Km from bangalore. My friend is in Mysore Infosys, so we planned to visit that campus also. Many of my friends told me that the mysore Infy campus is one of the best in India.
We started at 6:30 AM. Our first stop was after 50 KM. The road to mysore is good and we were speeding upto 110KM. We reached mandya (place in karnataka) at 7:45AM. We had breakfast in Mandya.
The next stop was in Srirangapatnam. There is a Madrasah on the way to Ranganatha swamy temple. We went inside and Kiran started taking some photos. Kiran likes photography and he has a big collection maintained in flickr. I also took some photos with my new camera. Then we went to ranganathaswamy temple by 10AM. We were there till 11:30AM. Kiran took some more photos. Then we headed towards Infy campus.
We reached Infy campus by 12'o clock. My friend has come out to the gate and we took visitors pass. They were asked us to fill a form for cameras. My friend got surprised with the camera stuff. Krian has 2 cameras (canon 400D and Sony DSC H2) and 2 lens different zooming lens.
We went to food court-2 and had lunch. The campus was constructed in a very good way. They provided all the facilities and entertainment. There is a multiplex with 4 screens for the employees. The buildings were in different shapes. The hostels were constructed like english alphabets which will show as INFOSYS when we see from bird eye view. That was very good idea.
It was too hot in mysore that day. Luckily we get umbrellas in the campus. We got the permission till 3:30PM. My friend has showed us all the good places in the campus. They are constructing a huge building which has a training capacity of 10000. Already they have 5000 training capacity building. I was surprised with that. We came out of the campus at 4PM.
We visited mysore palace. The wether became cloudy. We thought of staying at the palace till 7PM. At 7PM they will switch on all the lights for the palace. It will be a wonderful experience to see. Kiran also wanted to take some photographs of the palace. But because of the wether we started at 6PM.
A coffee day with pizza hut is there after mandya (almost 60KM from Mysore). But, the pizza hut was not yet opened. They told they are going to open it shortly. That will be a nice location to stop the vehicle and have a break from journey.
We reached bangalore by 8:30PM. We went to near by punjabi mess to have dinner. One more memorable weekend....
