Narasimha Parvatha - trekker's paradise!

Narasimha Parvatha Trek trail, Kuduremukha National Park.

This was a pending plan from many months ever since the monsoon started. However, finally we 

found the right team in good number to attempt with right spirit.

Akshay and Mohan had taken care of travel and other arrangements and we scheduled the dates to be 20th and 21st of September. The plan in mind was something like this; Leave Bengalore by 10:30pm on 19th night and reach Sringeri, Climb up from Kigga side,  Stay at the peak, cook maggi, have a campfire, and get down to Malandur on the next day, reach Agumbe by lunchtime and head back to Bengalore by night.

But no matter how much we are ready to face any discomforts, mother nature has her own plans to make us think twice before stepping in.

With all the waiting, picking up all the fellow trekkers, at last, finally, we left Bengalore by 12:30am. almost two hours behind schedule. After a long overnight journey of 400km, we reached Agumbe - Ajjimane by 8:30 am. Since there were more guests we were unlucky not to have breakfast there. Nevertheless we were offered "Kashaya" - health drink with 28 different ingredients. As our trek guide Thimmappa  was waiting from 7:00 am, we hurried up and had breakfast at Agumbe bus stand. Goodness!! The idlies were unexpectedly amazing. Do try if you go there, but only when you don't get food at Ajji mane! :P

Ajji mane/Doddmane - Agumbe, 

Why are we like this?

Last couple of days I have seen few things which elevated my mind and some that made me realize, why cant we stay in that state all the time. there were fluctuation of feelings, emotions driven actions, advise others and get advised as well...

When I look at small kids, they are playful, always in joy, even if they cry its momentary, because they expect less, gain more, regret less and forget more. So were we, when we were kids! But now, most of the time juggling between good times and bad times, pressure and relief, happiness and sorrows, lost and found! Ever given a thought why we are like this?

Answer is simple. We grow in growing world! From being a kid, who has no worries about future and no memories from past,  to elder who has all responsibilities of future life with a broken platform of past. this is because as we grow, our thinking capabilities gets broadened and also complicated. A proper nurture to our thoughts helps us to see less problems, or even No Problems at all!

Watch your thoughts, they become your words
Watch your words, they become your actions
Watch your actions, they become your habits
Watch your habits, they become your CHARACTER!

adding to that..

Watch your character, because it defines YOU...

It was last Wednesday 21st, me and my cousin were thinking of going to a movie and ended up not going anywhere, but we both thought we should go to "MARDAANI" the next day.

On the day, late in the noon, he texts me asking whats the movie about. As I had done little web search on the movie, I said " Kidnapping, Human Trafficking, Drugs - and Culprit-Police chase" in simple words and as agreed we went to the evening show. Mardaani did more than what I expected.

Though it said Movie is inspired by the real events I felt it more inspired by Hollywood Hit "Taken" of 2008. 

Who you are!

Be who you are, for knowing better this world around.
But first know yourself, and everything that is bound.
Make no mistake, for there is no second chance!
That is what they teach you about competition to be crowned.

Mind brain and soul are not you, but a different entity.
Be not the hostage, but be the master of clarity.
No I do not mean you should control them.
perhaps knowing the very difference is good for serenity.

One thoughtless step can lead you miles away.
Name fame and you became the celebrity, in your own way.
Think twice while choosing the path, is that what you need after all
for there is no good, no return ticket that makes you whole!

As you like it

Why do i think of you?

I see a long Queue!

My offerings are very few

Still i wish to reach you!!

I have no regrets of being less than par

But I put my efforts full and for all 

Though I'm not the one you are looking for

Its worth making you know who am I at all

World might have put us together

And I know it is virtual and uncertain

I do not want a flipping coin to decide

I just say "let it rain..."
