Innovative Film City

Innovative Film City. This is located near Bidadi.It is not completely functional. It still under construction.
We reached around 10.45am and then waited for Entry tickets(Corporate). We were welcomed with "Fanta". We had tickets for 9 different shows/rides.
We started with "WAX museum". Few are really good, no need to read the names hanged next, you can find who they are. Few even with name I couldn't make out who they are. That's probably because of the vast knowledge I have about people :-).

Next was "Ripley's Believe It or not. It’s a good place to spend some hours. Few videos of “Ripley's Believe it or not” is played, few unbelievable pictures can be found there. Unbelievable models are also present.

We are finally in Most awaited "4D -theatre". We got our glasses and found a seat for our self. It was a wonderful experience. I guess its 20 minutes show and its worth the money and time.

Its 1.30Pm, and time to fill stomach. Lunch was arranged for us. We had good food. It would have been ideal to sleep on the beautifully maintained lawn. But we were asked to join at Main entrance at 6pm. so not much time left to complete all the left over shows/rides.

We entered "Mirror Maze" It’s a dark room. Its difficult to find where is the mirror and where is the way. But we were lucky to find the way out easily. This is good one too.

Then we entered fossil museum and Dino world related to Dinosaurs. I am surprised to see so many things are collected from different parts of the world. Dino world is not must see place.

"Cartoon City” I Expected to have some cartoon related stuff. Surprisingly these are the rides :-). There is a funny ride, I guess they call it "water shooting". I was watching others taking that ride. With the seriousness they were shooting the water, for moment I thought they are guiding the satellite to the right orbit!!.

We had got tickets for "family go karting" so handed steering to Mr Husband and sat looking at the surrounding. This is not as fast as the Individual one. This is like a small car. So who drive car will not enjoy much.

Finally we are in Aqua Kingdom. You will see Beach is now in Bangalore. I find it to be a good place to learn swimming. Don't be careless tides are also seen once in a while.
Tried little bit to learn swimming, but no luck. Better luck next time Smitha was the voice I heard.

It was 5pm and time to pack up.
Day came to end, no regret of traveling almost 40km to reach the place. Few more things should be functional soon. We Banglore janta now have one more weekend spot.
People who have been to "Film city" in other country feel there is nothing related to "making Film" here. I am not sure if it’s going to come in future also. But people like me who have seen only Ramoji Film City enjoyed this.

French Open

French Open is back again, But Queen of Rolandgarros Justine Henin bid Good Bye to Tennis.
This year our own Sania is not playing too. Surely Rolandgarros will miss Sania' s beautiful smile.
Last year while following Tennis I started Liking Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic. Otherwise I would have left with no one to support in Women's Tennis :D.
we will soon see new No 1. Ana is going to climb the ladder to reach No.1.
Just waiting to watch Ana win!!! the finals on Saturday 7th June 2008.
Who will win Men's Single Need to wait till 8th.
