Experience at Manchanabele

So we started our journey from Madiwala at around 7:45 AM and went along the mysore road so that we could pick up all our other collegues in the route. We boared a 47 seater non AC bus from the private agency and started off the journey. Unlike any other day in Bangalore, that particular day was very hot(still wondering y the agni devatha was very angry on us as a reason of which it was the hottest day ever experienced in Bangalore).The Mysore road was not that smooth initially but we preferred this as this didn’t have any toll while the nice road had few. We reached the spot at 10 AM .

The first look at the place and I was like’Really?? U guys are kidding ..’ It was like some village kind of a thing and we had to pass aross some 3-4 kms by foot to reach the Manchanabele dam. The road in the journey was too bad. It was literally like a trek . Advice you all to wear a proper shoe while you visit this place. It was too hot that caps,sun screen lotions and sun glasses were a must for us. If you have a bunch of friends to gossip and go this place would be good except that you watch every foot that you keep. There were lots of stuffs on the way including the dead snake. All around you find rocks and dry grass and wild trees

 

 Once you think that the journey is over and you have reached the spot the guide wil inform you that its just the half distance that you have crossd and you still have another half to cross across.

So we guys were split up based on the stamina. Some paused to take a break and other few to take some snaps across. After a few minutes when you realize that all your other friends have actually left passing you, that’s when you actually pack up and start moving from the place stopped.

Once you have climbed the rocks and passed a few distance you actually get to see the first glimpse of water at Manchanabele. I cannot explain the joy on every single face that was felt when they saw it from the top view. All had just one thought in their mind,’I want to jump in ‘

I was jumping in joy when I saw the water. After having walked so long in the hot sun was soothing when we actually found some water to float in.

The water looked clear from the top. So was the view . It looked very narrow from the top and had a kind of India Map shape in some random way.

The entire team was so tired that we all took a break and had the lunch there itself. Few took some rest other few played a few activities on the bare land near by.  We had our lunch at around 2 and decided to  jump in the water at around 2:45 PM. It was then when I stepped into the water that I realized that the water was not the same as it looked like. It was full of dirt. The underground dirt started flowing up as soon as the team members entered into it. The depth was around 10-15 feet so incase if you don’t know swimming please carry a life jacket with you.

For those who know swimming  this will be one the best place to dive in. Initially near the stepping place the water is nt that good but as you move along the water seemed good.Boating across to a larger distance would give you a wide view of the entire manchanabele dam.Photographers can get a wide varieties of clicks from the different kinds of birds that fly over to a variety of different carcass of species near by.

On the whole if you travel on a perfect Bangalore Climate then the place is really worth going for. If its on a sunny day I would rather advice you all to stay at home and enjoy some movie rather than walking for such a long distance

The Mask

Mask 

Many a times when we actually think that we have known everything about a person and the person is worth trusting for, that’s when the reality gets struck in front of our eyes. That moment when the mask of a person is being torn into pieces just in front of your eyes, you feel lots of emotions within. Lots of questions, lots of anger and more often the trust that you had on the person is shattered into pieces. Most of the people that we come across are not real. Everyone wears a mask for some or the other reason. I am not saying that I am perfect I might be the one among them too who wear a mask for various reasons. But many a times I have wondered Y do we actually have to wear a mask? Y can’t we actually face the situation as it is? Might be because of the fear of lose.  Not worth keeping such people in your life. When you share so much to the person and that person breaks your trust is just not done. Wearing a mask and leading life might help in short span but in the long journey of life when the truth comes out you never know how bad the incidents can go on in each other’s life. Building trust in someone is always good provided the person is worth the trust. Most of us wear a mask in our daily life, a  few to forget their past, a few to impress others, a few to gain trust. Always remember that masks are temporary, so one day or the other the truth comes out in light and that day have guts to face it and admit it if you have committed some mistake. 

Friends for Lyf

A life without friends is something so weird. At every point of life you feel as if you have missed something precious in your life. Even after attaining the highest height without that best one life feels so incomplete. We fight across, tease each other’s to the max still always be there when one needs the other. They care you more than your parents, understand you more than yourself and accompany you always when you are alone. They are the ones who know the time when you are sad or when you are happy to the core. They would have seen you cry, laugh, get angry, lots more. At times these loved ones depart from us for various reasons. But they always care for us wherever they are. Once you consider someone your best friend they can never ever hate you for the hardest lie you have told them. They still stick around you and someday you realize it’s your fault and you go back to your friend and ask for a sorry the person on the other side would say, ’Shut up you idiot’. That one second you feel so low and so proud at the same second. So low for the biggest mistake that you have done in your life by hurting the best one and proud for the reason that the opposite person chose you to be their best friend. Friendship doesn't expect anything. It’s as pure and eternal as the morning mist which can be felt only by true hearts. Troubles come and go in the middle but always true friendship lasts for lifetime. Lucky are those people who have got the best friends for their lifetime.
