Trip to Shivasamudram Waterfalls

This visit was done quite some time back, during my initial days in Bangalore. The office team went for an off-site, and as a part of it we had a stop over to see the Shivasamudram waterfalls. I was thrilled just at the first sight of this massive waterfalls (you know why by looking at the video).

The Shivasamudram waterfalls have twin jumps, Gaganachukki and Bharachukki one km away from each other. The one you see in the video is Gananachukki.

Trivias:

Shivasamudram is also famous for the first hydro electric station in India started in 1902. This was supplied by General Electric.

Shivasamudram is the second biggest waterfall in India and the sixteenth largest in the world.

Company Transport

I take my company bus to go office in place of my bike. Its actually the best thing to do in the Bangalore traffic. Well I am not so good at waking up early, so I miss my bus quite a time. Then I have to beat the traffic with my bike.

When I take the bus in the morning, there are many other peoples taking their respective company busses. One thing I observe is to try to benchmark the company facilities (bus service), to see if my company gives me bus-servive that is good :-)

Honestly, its just make me pass my time waiting for the bus. I really can't differentiate between all the company bus services, all looks equally good (or I say bad, ha ha). But one thing that really surprised me was looking into one of the company bus (I won't name the company). The bus looks like as if they are involved in human trafficking. By the time it reaches our stop, it is packed with peoples until the door. Few peoples get in the bus from our stop even under such condition, and it feels as if the last guy is hanging from the bus. Man it's surprising.

It takes hell lot of time reaching office; I even get tired sitting in the bus. It gives me time to sleep or think over something I want to do in office. But I just wonder about the peoples (those being human trafficked), they go standing to office, THEN WORK. How can you expect someone to work after such an tiring journey?

ITS MY SINCERE REQUEST TO ALL THE COMPANIES OPERATING IN BANGALORE, EMPLOYEES ARE ALREADY SUFFERING IN THE TRAFFIC JAMS, DON'T MAKE THEIR LIFE MORE MISERABLE BY PROVIDING SUCH A WORSE TRANSPORT TILL OFFICE.
