Early morning today, we’d planned for a trip to the hanging bridge at the locality. The bridge is situated east of our college campus and we’d to walk across the unfinised iron bridge and the Post Graduate students’ block (Block H).
We planned to start our journey at around 5:00am but as usual, as an engineering student, we were late and started at 6:00am (IS dragged me out of my bed!!). We’d never been there before, only that we’d seen the bridge from a distant.

The hanging bridge must’ve been built many years ago as the side steel fibres have already begun to snapped off. A lot of wood planks from the floor below were missing and we’d to take hold of the side steel threads to keep our balance. At first we saw only a few gaps but after reaching the middle part, we found a lot of planks missing. We took a few video shots while making the crossing and i guess you must laugh your heart out if you see us doin’ that. The bridge was swaying a lot, the water below was flowing and it was enough to make you dizzy, to make you lose your balance. But as we were crossing one of the big gaps, a local school boy came and just walked up ahead of us as if there were no gaps at all. We just stood there amazed!!
I took this one with my cell phone and it’s not that clear as the photo above.. and by the way, i’m thinking of uploading the videos at youtube. I’ll post the links later.. do have a look.
