It was raining a lot, so after Kakai came down from Ahmedabad, Biga suggested going to Srisailam and Nagarjuna sagar as there was a possibility that the dam gates might be open (Biga said it is a terrific sight watching the water roar and rush out and it is as you can make out from our August 2001 pics at the bottom of this post) . But alas, what we had hoped for did not happen and we ( especially kakai) did not get a chance to see that awesome sight.
However, the trip itself was fun. We stayed at Srisailam at Karakali Bhavan facing the green hills. the view from our verandah was great. I also got to see a model of the Srisailam dam ( it was GREAT), ride a ropeway, enjoy a boat-ride on the river Krishna and see many other new things. We left Hyderabad on Saturday morning and returned home on Sunday night, I with high fever. On the way, Ma made me drink a spoonful of some horrible syrup (because of the fever), which I agreed to only after Kakai bought me a truck from a wayside shop.

Karakali Bhavan, The red building- This is where we stayed at Srisailam 
Kakai and me at Srisailam dam
View of the Nallamalai hills ( this is where YSR died in a helicopter crash last year) from the ropeway at Srisailam
Boat ride on the Krishna river at srisailam
At the Nagarjuna sagar dam.
And below are some of the photos from my last trip to these places in 2001 August- at that time I was a baby, as you can see.
