The BEST EVER SUN SET I HAVE EVER SEEN

After Couple of Scuba dives near Tso Sai Ban and Tso Sai Bay we started going back to PHI PHI DON Island where we had booked our accommodation. It is already getting dusk and we are in the middle of the ocean. It is freaking cold outside and myself sipping cup of hot water every now and then ,just watching the sunset, waves of the OCEAN,my breath and the silence in the surroundings recalling the following poem from “Zindagi Nahi Mela Dubbara “ movie : Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan Na kahin hai zameen Na kahin aasmaan Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein Aisi gehraiyaan Aisi tanhaiyaan Aur main sirf main Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya.   Translation: The moment flows by like molten sapphire Deep Blue silences No Earth below No Sky above The rustling branches and leaves Saying that only you are here Only me My breath My heartbe...

Thailand Trip

 Most of the adults (males) I met are so fantasized about going for Thailand for a holiday trip before marriage , when I enquired what is that they are so fascinated about there is no explicit answer for it. Most of them have their own perceptions about it; so many have other people’s perception. Though I never understood their curiosity of Thailand I planned for Thailand trip only to do.SKY DIVING. But as life has it take on you ,due to some legal issues for moving to new drop zone the Thai Sky adventure team could not able to open the drop zones by the time I reached there and having nothing to do I decided to find out what brings people to Thailand. Here are the things: Cheap Sex ( Prostitution is Legal in Thailand) as low as Rs 40 per hour (I overheard the price) Cheap Thai Massages (including the erotic ones you see in You tube) Gals/WOMEN Cheap Shopping (including GEMS/Jewelry) / adventure activities   Though the fourth point is not cheap for INDIANS. PATTAYA CITY...

Tragedy

Honestly speaking I do not like comfortable life. It makes me sick and lower my sprites and life energies. That is the reason I keep on doing one thing or the other. But I came to a point in my life that the longing to have larger slice of life has reached its peak and whatever I am doing is not making me satisfy that hunger and there is always some sense of inefficiency in my life. I do not know what to do from now on. This made me completely dejected, demotivated, demoralized,depress and all the other de words. I am rippling over this because I do not have the words to explain the intensity in which I am suffering. That is the reason I want Tragedy in my life. The tragedy which will make me lose myself. I googled for examples but could not able to find one. There is a lot of help in the world for the people who want to come out of tragedy but none for the people who wants tragedy. This is even more frustrating .Damn even the internet can’t help me. Spoke to couple of friends but c...

CYCLING

As a child I used to cycle around 21kms daily on my cycle sometimes giving ride to friends. I never used to enjoy it as I used to feel it as so laborious and used to scold my father for building the house outside the town. After 10 years:      I somehow convinced my office colleague and borrowed his bicycle and started having rides on it. The first ride to my house is very tiresome. But things changed as I started to continue the rides on it. Morning rides on the bike are just awesome and if it is a weekend it is even more awesome. I especially like the rides on the downhill just after completing the uphill ride  bcz here comes the moment of carpe diem - u just have to do nothing the cycle rolls down without any effort and the cool breeze kisses u very gently on the face, no thoughts , no worries just ceasing the moment. I am loving it and then starts tedious uphill ride and then followed by downhill ride. The efforts u put to ride a uphill is worth it f...

Sun Rays in the water

Went to team outing  somewhere near SANGAM. It is a resort in the forest with Cauvery water floating in between the forest ranges. It’s a  kinda of aloof to the normal world. My friend and myself left the other team members who are playing at the shore  of the river and went a little deep further into the water just flipping the legs and no hand movement so that we could swim like a fish inside the water. And then suddenly sun came out of the clouds and we happen to watch the sun rays from inside the water. It is a amazing scene. The rays are bright yellow in color with visible radiance around the rays. I felt like as if I am watching the light right after coming out of mother womb. It is a delight to watch that particular scene. I kept my hands under the rays inside the water and my light brown  color hand appeared like bright gold yellow color .My hands never appeared so beautifully to me . WOW. It made my day.  PS: 1)A glance at the people on the shore t...

Kumara Parvata Trek

Image
I heard about this trek by so many people in office and off office quoting that this is the toughest trek in Karnataka. So when I checked out the BMC schedule I decided to give a try. Called couple of friends and none seems to be available for the scheduled dates. As usual I decided to go alone. On 1 st Oct morning we landed in Subramanya Village, freshen up and had breakfast. Pic: The third peak which stands highest in the picture is Kumara Paravata The   Kumara parvata   lies in the backdrop of ancient shrine of Kukke Subramanya as shown in the picture and it is the third highest peak in Karnataka at an altitude of 5136ft. At the start when one of the trekker shown me the peak and said we are heading there .I said “WOW”. But I did not know how exhausting the trek would be. It is 14 kms from the base.  Soon after some briefing from the Guide and collecting our sleeping bags and our baggage we started to Bhattara Mane , 6kms from the base and where we will have ...
