On a lazy nippy Sunday morning, wrapped in the furry quilt I am risen by the incessant alarm. Rubbing my eyes I check my phone....No Ways! I missed the call from my friend who was supposed to pick me up at 6:30 AM for the photowalk and its 7:30 AM already...Would another 15 mins of micro sleep do any harm?
Come on!! after all photowalks happen once a month every 1st Sunday and we wait for it all this while....Yes, I bustle up, strut to the main road and board the rickshaw.... when not a soul in my society is up.
Rickshaw driver: "yelli madam?" ( where to?)
Me: Hebbal Lake main gate
Rickshaw driver: "Hebbala?? kuthkodi" (Hebbal is it? take a seat)
Confidence I tell you...his and mine...on the way there were few indecisive U-Turns...One Ways...and interrogating of pedestrians for direction.
Rickshaw driver: "something...something....Madam" ......"something...something....gothilla"
Me: "Kannada Gothilla Sir" (I don't know Kannada, Sir)
Ultimately, very coyly, I was dumped on some random entrance to the Hebbal Lake. Finally!! I reached?? As I tread inside there was a mob trading fishes fresh out of lake, the catch of the day.

| Catch of the day: Katla Fish: Reminds me of fish fry in Kolkata |
Kill me! I have walked around full circle of the lake reach the main gate and time now is already 8:30 AM.
I meet all who obviously are more engrossed in taking pictures and after some banter I am doing what I came for...CLICKING :)....Breakfast wouldn't be a bad idea though!
As promised I did spot some migratory birds...though I ended up clicking butterflies...
women , I tell you!
Enjoy the pics :)
