If you have read my "Stars in the day light" blog then here is some hot and interesting addition to that list....
This time it was none other than the most famous telugu actress of "Varsham" and "Nuvastanate Nenodhantana" fame (and for people who are not familiar with telugu movie its the same girl who was believed to be in the contraversial MMS clip showing a girl bathing in hotel...ahhh now i am sure everyone knows her ;-)).
When we were leaving for bangalore we took the elevator to go to aerobridge at Hyderabad airport and suddenly i saw a gorgeous girl dressed in jeans pant, skin fitting shirt, sun glasses and a golf cap. She was smiling at someone and looked like a familiar face. She then came to the elevator with her secratory and a makeup man and only after that i realized that it is Trisha. She was looking simple and gracious with a cute smile on her face. I expected her to come in our flight to bangalore but when i boarded my plane i was disappointed to see that she was not in it :-((.
Her cute smile image still lives in my eyes and whenever somebody says Trisha i jump up to say "she was behind me one day":-)....
Dam dam-a-dam
Sriparvata, Vijayapuri, Nagarjunakonda - call it by any name but it remains today the modern day Nagarjunasagar - an engineering marvel, largest masonry dam and one of the largest man-made reservoirs.
Nagarjunasagar, a massive irrigation project on the River Krishna, about 150 kms from Hyderabad, has a rich and interesting past. The tallest masonry dam in the world, Nagarjunasagar stands about 124 metres high, creating one of the largest man-made lake. The water spread of the reservoir is about 380 sq.kms.
The Sriparvata and Vijayapuri of yore were really temples where the famous savant and Buddhist disciple Acharya Nagarjuna preached the message of Tathagatha during the lifetime of the Lord Himself.
One can transport oneself into that glorious age through a model of the submerged valley, exhibited in one of the galleries at the museum. The Nagarjunakonda island is approachable by motor launch. We visited this museum and then trekked up the hill to find some of those buddha stupas. We spent an afternoon there before returning to the mainland.
We had gone there in our Innova car which took us there in just 2 hrs or so. The drive was really good as there was not much traffic and the roads were also very good (unlike bangalore roads). We had taken some cold drinks from the hotel room (only thing i liked about Taj Krishna , ofcourse other than its Lift ;-)). We had a late lunch in a hotel opposite to boating club at around 4pm and return back to Hyderabad.

Stars in the day light
My Hyderabad "onsite" surly gave an oppertunity for new things in my life. One of them was to see film stars from close range.
First in the list was my all time favourite (and much respected) Amala(telgu filmstar Nagarjuna's wife) of movie Pushpak fame. She was right in front of me in Hyd-Blr Jet airways flight trying to take her luggage out. I was initially stunned looking at her beauty (believe me she still looks as gorgeous as she was in Pushpak) but only to realise later that she was Amala :-). (Ofcourse i was heart broken for a minute because she was a married, else maybe i would have gone on my knees to propose her then and there itself ;-)). She was accompanied by her son, but there was no sight of Nagarjuna. She was cool and calm even when people went up to her and spoke to her. I didnot dare to go and speak to her.
Next in the list was singer Chitra of Kehna hai kya (movie: Bombay), Dil hai choota sa (movie: Roja) fame. I saw her at an airport snack stall while waiting for our flight to arrive. She was with a friend and even before i could conclude that it was chitra she disappeared into the crowd.
Recent one in the list was Ashish Vidyaarthy (famous hindi movie villan). He was in the bus which takes us to the flight and was busy on phone. I was trying to look into his boarding pass to confirm that it is Ashish Vidyaarthy and in the meanwhile my friend kedar asked me if i recognised Ashish Vidyaarthy who was standing right in front of our seat.
Flights fly high but i never thought that they fly us to the level of stars :-). I am waiting to see my Ash (for all u dumb people its Aishwarya Rai) baby or Kathu (for all u dumb people its Katharina Kaif) baby sometime in my next seat ;;-).
