Rains in Mangalore
May 31st, 2005 at 11:02pm
Looks like monsoon is finally in. Its raining lightly outside as i write this. I guess, the rains this time are just on time. The temperature has come down, and its a much cooler now.
For the past couple of days, (almost a week), it has been very cloudy. No rain. Which is bad since it increases the humidity. The next few days, we will (hopefully) have full fledged monsoon and it will rain cats and dogs here in Mangalore!
And, that reminds me of rain dance party @ office!! :)

Those rain dance parties used to be great! In fact, all those parties in Mangalore ‘open-air-theater-area’ (I forgot the word you guys use) used to be so much fun, I miss them!
Btw, of all things, I dislike rain in Mangalore. It rains way too much and the bus drivers (who don’t care about other people on the road) make it worse! [Now only if I had car when I was in Mangalore, it would have been heaven. :)]

:D
“Amphitheatre” is the word ! :)
yup. for non-mangalore folks, these rains are really too much. It rains non stop. Way too much. But the local people here are kind of used to it.
About the bus drivers… i guess it would be true in any part of india :D

Recently I had been to Mangalore and the journey was ceratinly not a memorable one. It took 12 hours to reach Mangalore via Mysore, Periapatna , KushalNagar and coorg in KSRTC Volvo bus.
I was told that Hassan route road was very bad and Volvo took a diversion. It was raining cats and dogs in mangalore till last week.
I returned back to Bangalore on 30th Sep and this time using Rajhamsa, leaving Mangalore at 1:30 pm via Hassan to reach back Bangalore at 1 AM . The road was very bad in Ghat section
Stayed 5 days in Mangalore and almost visited all the mangalore temples ( Dhasara time !) and Gokarna natha temple in particular was marvellous
Ummm ice creams at Ideal and Bappas was also good
I stayed very near to Kadri Manjunatha swamy temple
Overall good trip but still my back is aching for that horrible bus journey.
