And here you go.....Nandi Hills is a place which is as beautiful as heaven(I think calling it like heaven will be justifying when u guyz will visit the place ). There are many stories about the origin of the name Nandi Hills. During the Chola period, Once upon a time Nandi Hills was called Ananda Giri meaning The Hill of Happiness. Another story is that Yogi Nandeeshwara performed penance here, and so it was named after him. A temple of Yogi Nandeeshwara is situated on top of the hill. Nandi is also commonly called Nandidurga Fort because of the fort build here by the ruler Tippu Sultan. It is also perhaps called Nandi Hills because the hill resembles a sleeping bull Nandi. There is a point called Tipu drop and guess what why it has been calling by that name.....well i am not going to tell :P, Go there and find by yourself :D

                                Mountain Story - An interesting short story

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"

The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.

If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it."


Moral of Story:- "YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE,IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!"
