Manasa Water Park

The entry to the park wasn't that cheap, each full ticket costing Rs.190/-, but after a bit of bargaining, we were offered tickets at a discounted price. Presence of the ladies prevented us from renting a locker; we immediately changed into our swimming attires, Chaitra, Madhuri and Neha rented swimming costumes, and all of us jumped into the Kids' Pool. After a brief round of playing in the smaller slides, the guys decided to check out the bigger slides. Be it the speed slides, the tunnels, or the snaky curly slides, 'fun' was the common word. The girls too joined in, and there wasn't an iota of fear in anyone. Sahana needed no invitation; she jumped into the family tube, although Ravi stayed back at the kids' pool, fearing that he would drown in the 3 feet water. But Sahana's courage was contagious, and slowly Ravi too joined in to try a few of the bigger slides. The ladies, for once, fed up of looking after the luggage, began having a whole lot of fun in the waters. Harisha wasn't far behind as well. The huge man placed himself on a tube and began waddling around the kids' pool, when Bharath, Sumanth, Suhas and Sudhanva would suddenly attack him from all sides. But none of them could even budge the huge man, he threw them all into the water, and left them gasping for breath. An attempt to escape from his savage behaviour was futile. He effortlessly caught Suhas by the feet and threw him to the other side of the water. After lots of drowning, underwear-pulling and water splashing, everyone moved onto a fresh set of slides, where one had to lie flat on a mat, and swoosh down. Neha and Suhas were stuck in between the first time, but Bharath, owing to his weight, zoomed straight down with ease. Chaitra, after much thinking, decided to go for it as well. We played for almost 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
