My phobia

My previous KRS post here.

Although delayed, KRS is now full this year. And unlike any of my other visits, there was this lone Coracle with the 2 men this year.


Do you know this photo actually induces in me a sense of phobia. Lemme confess, I suffer from Aquaphobia, but then it isn't acute. A character in a Novel which I remember reading years ago, was phobic even with the water in the Bathtub! I definitely am better. But then, I tried learning to swim too years ago, and unfortunately the pool got shutdown coz a mere mortal got drowned! scaaaary...

And I remember writing about Water Sports in Goa previously. Gosh, how scared I was.....


And please don't ask me about my Cast Away experience (or even Titanic). I definitely loved the movie. But, the rapid pulse and before the end my nails had traveled nearer to the cuticle. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah....scaaaaaary.....

Akhila is this a place near Mysore by any chance near Vindravan gardens and why is it called KRS?

@ Mridula, KRS - Krishna Raja Sagar is the Dam built across R.Kaveri. The garden adjacent to KRS is Brindavan Gardens. Its a 15km drive from Mysore.
Guess what, I commute 4 times that distance to work everyday in B'lore :)

Answering your 'why KRS' -
This dam was build in 1924 by an eminent engineer Vishveshwarya and named after the then ruler of Mysore Kingdom, Krishnaraja Wodeyar.
