by incidence, we had a chain of holidays, for 4 days. myself, bachodi and few of his friends went to a shiva temple on top of a hill which has 555 steps, carved on a single rock. it is called 'karinja', 'karinjeshwara' , 1.5 hr from mangalore. it was a good one day trip. the other day(23-01-05)  i went to dharmastala along with my classmates. the same day we returned and attended 'international kites fesitval-2005'. it was a great show.
snaps will follow soon.
