Visting Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar again

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.

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.
