Mullayanagiri is located in the Baba Budan Giri Range of the Western Ghats.
From Mullayanagiri we went to bababudanagiri, but unfortunately because of renovation of datt peeth, we were not able to go to peeth.
From here we went to manikyadhara falls. Its really good place and beautiful.

Money is yours but Resources belongs to the Society ... Just think about it

Just posting an email which i got from my friend ... Just think about it ..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES BELONG TO  THE SOCIETY.

I wondered if such simple meal could be romantic, and whether the girl will leave this stingy guy. There were a few old l...
