It is said that after you have had the worst, anything else that happens can only be for the better.
After a quick wink of no more than 4 hours, Vaibhav and I got up at 5:00 in the morning on Saturday, 31st March. All of this to make it in time to the Oracle office from where we are to board a bus to Talakadu Jaladhama resort (http://www.jaladhama.net/). After an hour of loitering outside the office, we were finally on our way in a 21-seater mini bus with 6 seats still vacant. Breakfast came an hour later at Kamat's Lokaruchi (loka = world, ruchi = taste). At 60 rupees for unlimited breakfast, this place is amazing value for money. There are a couple of ducks and a bunch of monkeys roaming around the hotel for added entertainment. Some 3 hours and 125 kms later, the only entity separating us from the resort was a couple of hundred meters stretch of the backwaters of Cauvery. A boat from the resort was ready to pick and transport us to the "Jaladhama" (which literally translates to the Water-Island).
Welcome to another world, which is at complete peace with itself. Smiling staff, dense bamboo shoots and a lush green carpet of grass along with a welcome drink for starters. At Rs. 750 per person for a day outing, which includes lunch, swimming pool, boating, volleyball, basketball, cricket, football, badminton and a lot of hammocks and swings 
hanging from branches of trees, there is hardly anything more you could ask for. Add to this a boat ride to a waterfall so crisp and refreshing, your soul would start to sing like a bird. No wonder the tag line of this resort is "The only place to celebrate holiday resort with bird". Errr ... okay, but what exactly does that tag line mean?! :-)
The fun continued on the ride back home with Francisco Chinese Whispers (don't ask me what this game is about), dinner at Kamat's Lokaruchi and a little bit of sleep. We were back home by 12:00 mid night, thoroughly refreshed and thoroughly tired.
