*DAY 2 (21ST Feb 2019) (Bangalore)*

1. HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum,

Bangalore

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum Bengaluru is a vital part in

understanding the students the different models of aircraft models and

working of aircraft engine. This visit was planned in order to know the

role played by the Indian Defence in our country and to fill the gap

between the academics and industrial learning.

Mentioning some of the highlights

Students have seen the photographs and the growth of aviation inch

decade from 1940 till date and also the various motorized cross

section of models of aero engines, they also came to know various

functions of the engines

They got to know about some real engines such as Garret (Dornier)

Adour (Jaguar) and Orpheus (Kiran) which could be found there.

Students were acknowledged with the working of an ATC Radar

perched with L-band surveillance radar having a range of 200

nautical miles which rotates at a speed of 3-4 RPM, with the

frequency of 1250-1350 MHZ. In addition, PSLV model and PSLV

Heat shield were displayed to give a glimpse of forays made by the

country in the space technology.

We even availed the opportunity and knowledge of special future of

the displayed aircrafts such as MARUT, AJEET, CANBERRA,

HT2, MIG21, ALH and many more.

2. ISKCON Temple

After the wonderful visit to HAL, students thought of devoting some time

to Lord Krishna and planned our next visit to ISKCON temple. We

reached the temple at 3:30pm in the afternoon and had to wait in the long

queue up to 4 pm for the temple to re-open. Few students took the VIP

tickets instead of waiting in the queue. Everyone was inspired to chant the

mantra of Hare Krishna and all the devotees felt the purity and calmness

all over. Shopping and eatery items were easily available and many of us

shopped unique things from there. We had spent a healthy time with

Lord Krishna by witnessing the great story of Lord Rama and his journey

of life.

All of us enjoyed the extraordinary arts in the temple and the beauty of

nature as it was situated at the higher altitude from where almost the

whole city was easily visible. We captured the memories, had fun, ate the

Prasad, and then we left from the place towards our hotel.

Coming back to the Hotel, everyone took the relaxation time for an hour,

after which our next site was planned.

3. Mantri Mall, Bangalore

Returning back from second site, students planned to have some joyful

moments at one of the biggest mall in the Bangalore, hence we visited the

Mantri Mall at 6pm. Students scattered into their different groups. It was a

great time being so free and relaxed with their squads. Some of them

utilized their time for shopping, some had a good food, some of them got

to meet their long distance friends and relatives and finally it was a quality

time for everyone. We left the mall at 9:30pm and returned back to our

Hotel and united for the dinner again.

It was so much fun having a food with all the lovely and funny notorious

students. After such a tiring day, we ended up with lots of gossips at the

hotel rooms. Late night talks, movies, games and fun ran over the mind

of all. Comfortable beds and rooms vanished our tiredness after getting

into it and all went for a sound sleep as the next day was already

scheduled with a lot of places to be covered. Hence, we called it up – A

DAY WELL SPENT…

*DAY 3 (22ND

Feb) Bangalore*

1. UNIBICS COOKIES COMPANY, BANGALORE

On Friday 22th February, 2019 D.Y. Patil Institute of Management, Ambi

has conducted an industrial visit to UNIBIC Company. This visit was for

the awareness of the students on the production process of the company.

The industrial visit started at 10:30 am, where Mr. Prakash Kadam

Factory Manager has welcomed everyone to the UNIBIC cookies factory.

He introduced the company and also mentioned that the company was

started in 2004 which is an Australian originated company.

Then he explained about the production levels of the Company where

they are producing different varieties of cookies. After the introduction,

we were taken to the production site and explained how the

manufacturing process takes place. Different segment and layouts were

briefly explained to the students. Coming to the packaging material part,

there were three types namely primary – which has direct contact with the

cookies and protects them, secondary – which protects the primary

package, tertiary- which protects both. Assembling, Quality checking,

warehousing, loading and unloading of the raw materials, and packaging

were some of the major functions which was exposed to the students

explaining all the minute details of the manufacturing process.

2. Cubbon Park

After the long educative trip to UNIBICS, the folks left for the next site

visit to Cubbon Park. Nature has its own uniqueness has been proved

when the beautiful garden astonished the people with its never ending

therapy. Everyone had their good time roaming around and clicking

pictures of the groups. And then lunch everyone sat for the lunch. A

shade under the trees, calmness all around, a peace and relaxation on the

mind. All the students enjoyed the delicious lunch served to them and

took a small leisure break for relaxation.

3. Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum

Right in front of the Cubbon Park was the famous Museum which was the

next visit. We entered the museum at around 3pm in the afternoon. It

was an amazing experience beyond the expectations of the each

individual. The Museum was divided into different segments like Engine

Hall, How things work, The fun science gallery, Electro-technic gallery,

The space, Biotechnological revolution, BEL Hall of electronics, Science

for children, Dinosaur Alive, Science on a sphere, The wright Brothers.

The crowd witnessed different inventions and discoveries at the museum,

everyone enjoyed at the fullest. So many new things have been observed

by each one of us.

Surprisingly, it was one of the best parts of the visit and the most

interesting place to enjoy with the friends. We roamed around till 6pm

and left for our next site to Bull Temple.

4. Bull Temple

We arrived at the renowned and religious Nandi Temple at around

6:30pm. The specialty of this temple is that the entire sculpture of the bull

is carved out of one single granite rock. There was also a small temple of

Lord Ganesh and the shocking part is that it is made up in every four

years entirely with the butter and the butter does not melt or change

shape even once. Everyone offered the flowers to the God and pursued

their blessings.

It was a wonderful seeing such pleasant sites which not only soothes your

eyes but in fact soothing your heart, mind and soul. Students bought the

hand-made toys and games from the temple. We sat there for around half

an hour and then left the place.

Now, it was a snack time so all went for having the tea/coffee and snacks

in the late evening. We took a halt for half an hour and then moved to

our Bus. The traffic of Bangalore got us struck for another half an hour

and we reached our hotel at 8pm.

A slot of one hour was provided for freshen up and relaxation. We again

gathered for the dinner at our dining room. The tired faces and loose

pajamas described all the story of the hectic yet wonderful and enjoyable

day. Everyone had their dinner and rushed to their rooms for a tight

sleep. The next day trip was planned to Mysore- another tragic desire for

all of us.

Sharp at 6:30am in the morning we left our rescue at Bangalore and

headed for the Mysore City. It took around 4 hours to complete the

journey where the students danced along with the faculties and had a

greatest fun throughout.

*DAY 3 (23RD Feb), Mysore city*

1. Mysore Palace

The incredible historical place known as “Mysore Palace” is located at the

Inner Mysore which is one of the tourist attractions in India. We checked

it into the palace at around 11 am with great enthusiasm. The burning

heat, brighter sun and the great architecture was shining bright. We

walked into the palace with nude legs. The minute detailing of the palace

surprised us with great art work surrounded by the large garden. Students

clicked the photographs and without visiting this place, the tour of Mysore

is complete. The stones were beautifully craved and the place had two

durbar halls (ceremonial meeting halls of the royal court).

All the students read the story related to the palace mentioned at every

doorstep. New learning was being obtained and historical truths were

being perceived. We left from the palace after 2 hours of wonderful visit

and returned back to our lodgings.

Everyone had lunch served at the hotel and then a slot of one hour was

provided for the shopping purpose to all. Students got scattered and

purchased sarees, jewellery, and other popular stuff from Mysore for the

self, family and friends.

Our next site was yet another most interesting part of our visit and after a

fruitful shopping everyone rushed for the beautiful Brindavan Garden of

Mysore at around 4:30pm

2. Brindavan Garden, Mysore

The Brindavan Garden, a celebrated beauty spot, primarily a terrace

garden is world famous located immediately behind the Krishna raja sagar

dam site. Our childhood memories of visiting Brindavan Gardens had

etched an image of experiencing the most beautiful garden we had ever

seen. We reached there at around 6pm and students scattered into

different clusters for experiencing new joy.

As we visited this place at late evening, therefore the night beauty amazed

us with all the lightings and lamps. The night fountain show had its own

charm where most of the mob was identified. Cleanliness of the garden

was maintained at the utmost high level and its beauty was spread as a

fragrance all over. Flowers, boating rides, streets of the garden was adding

an extra charm to it.

Everyone spent their quality time and we gathered again at the same place

from where we left at 9:30 pm. After the fantastic moments with the folks,

we moved ahead to our hotel rooms and had lovely supper for the last

night. Students planned their night fun with their friends as we were

supposed to leave for our Pune destination on the next day.

The groups moved back to their respective rooms. Few fell for the sleep,

some went for the gossips and unlimited talks, a group was engaged into

games and music, some lied at the corridors making fun of each other

and this all moments became a memory to cherish forever.

*DAY 4 (24TH Feb ), Mysore City – Bangalore city*

The very next morning we got up and packaged our luggage, all set to go.

Everyone had the breakfast and headed for the next site visit on the way

towards the Bangalore. We left the place at 8am in the morning.

1. Chamundi temple, Mysore

Being one of the oldest Hindu traditional temples is one of the must-visit

attractions. The temple was located at the top of the hills and completely

crowed with the devotees. Everyone seek the blessings of the Goddess

Durga after waiting in along queue. After coming out, many of them

shopped for themselves which was really unique and is not found at all

the places of the country. Without wasting much time, we left from the

temple within two hours for our next site which took almost an hour to

reach.

2. St. Philomena's Church, Mysore

The most beautiful and distinctive landmark of the Mysore city is

recognized as the second largest church of Asia. The twin spire of the

church towering over the trees and houses grabbed the attention of

everyone and has the due reason for it. It is an interesting church indeed.

We reached the place at around 10 am and unexpectedly there was a

catholic wedding going on. We took the blessings and attended the

ceremony for 10-15 minutes and then we moved back to our bus after

capturing the snaps of the beautiful and spiritual place.

3. Sand Museum

An excellent example of creative brilliance, sand sculpture museum offers

a creative setting with artistic works. Intricate carvings on the sand,

delicateness of the sculptures and their unique themes make it a place

worth visiting. Sand sculpture Museum displays around 150 sculptures of

sand in 16 different themes, which have been placed over an area of

13500 sq. feet. These sand sculptures have been created using more than

115 truckloads of sand. Various interesting themes have been used at the

museum ranging from Mysore heritage, wildlife, and culture, instances

from different religious epics and fairy tales and stories.

Everyone was astonished to witness such as creative work architect

established on the huge lot of sands. We spent an hour visiting this place

and moved ahead for the next site visit which was the last site of our tour.

4. Srirangapatna Fort / Tipu's Fort

This was the last site seeing of our tour. We reached the Tipu’s Fort at

12pm approximately when the sun was shining bright in the sky and the

soil was burning hot. A heritage destination which was once the capital of

Tipu Sultan, Srirangapatna town, has many historical places that are worth

exploring and admiring. There were good markings and indications on

the walls telling about the history and formation of the fort. The place is a

wonderful, chaotic but peaceful, community: working, playing, worshiping

and living. Not giving much time to this place was the biggest error. After

visiting this place, we could witness the true facts of the true leader. The

interior and architecture of the fort was beautifully carved and there were

some remains of the things used by the Tipu Sultan. It was a nice visit free

from dust and surrounded with the trees.

TIPU’S SAMADHI

At the end we moved towards the Samadhi of Tipu Sultan. This place was

like a Dargaah surrounded with the garden. We landed at the afternoon

and after spending some time we accumulated at the garden where the

lunch was being arranged for us. Everyone sat at the shade and had a

delicious home-made lunch as we were about to end the trip. Everyone

got freshen up and headed for the station.

For the last time, we were enjoying the bus journey and everyone rocked

the floor of the bus with their moves and shakes. The colorful lights

added an extra enthusiasm among the mindset of the students.

We reached the Bangalore station for boarding the train and got into it at

9:30 pm. All the tired bodies took a relaxed sleep in the night journey and

next day on 25th Feb 2019 at 4pm we were back to our pavilion.

Thus making MEMORIES OUR TRAVEL BAGS, we left for our

respective destinations………..
