केरळमधील टेकडी, मुनार...!

               नेहमीप्रमाणे नाही-हो करत tripचं ठरत होतं, यावेळी आमचं न जाण्याचं कारण वेगळं होतं पण जाण्याचीसु्द्धा खुप ईच्छा होती. आणि ३ दिवसांच्या सुट्टीमधे करायचं तरी काय याचा backup plan नव्हता. ९ तारखेला रात्री निघण्याचं ठरलं, गाडी ठरलेली, लोकं ठरलेली. सगळं खाण्या-पिण्याचं सामान अन मोजक्या लागणाय्रा गोष्टी सोबत घेवून Spencersमधून निघालो (मी, रश्मी, मंगेश, सुमंत आणि वैष्णव. नावं लिहीत आहे कारण पुढे लागणार आहेत :P). जवळुनचं बाकी मंडळींना pickup करायचं होतं (रोहीत, गोपाल, अमीत, संदीप  कॉलेजचे सिनीयर आणि त्यांचे मित्र). अनोळखींशी ओलख करुन झाल्यावर 'गणपती बाप्पा मोरया!!' ने प्रवास सुरू झाला!

               गाण्याच्या भेंड्या खेळत actually गाणी ओरडत, नवीन मुव्हीजची गाणी ऐकत, झोपत(मंगेश सोडून :P) दूपारी १२ला टेकडीला पोहोचलो! रहाण्याची सोय एका Rolex नावाच्या हॉटेलमधे केली अन् fresh होवून टेकडीवर boatingसाठी निघालो. खुप भूक लागली होती. South Indian Meal was the best option! आणि ते होता पण बेस्ट!! २ तासांच्या बोटींग मधे थोडसं बोअर होत, wild life ऐंजॉय करत, ते घाणेरडं लाईफ जाकेट अडकवून कसेतरी ते २ तास घालवले. परत हॉटेल रूम्सवर परतलो. रात्रभरच्या प्रवासाचा थकवा जाणवत होता आणि जवळ असलेल्या भेळीवर सगळ्यांनीच ताव मारला..! थोडसं रस्त्यांवर फिरलो आणि रात्रीच्या जेवणाची जागा ठरवली आणि जेवलो व हॉटेलवर आलो. मुलांचे पत्त्यांचे डाव रंगले मी आणि रश्मी गप्पा मारत झोपून गेलो. दुसय्रा दिवशी सकाळी लौकर उठून समोरच्या चर्चमधे जाऊन आलो. प्रार्थनापण ते लोक मल्ल्याळम मधे करत होते! सकाळी सकाळी 'अप्प्म' नावाचा केरळमधील पदार्थ खाल्ला आणि मुनारच्या दिशेने निघालो!

                  यावेळी गाडीतून जाताना दमशेराज् खेळत होतो. बाहेर वेड लावणारा निसर्ग होता. हसत्-नाचत् जात होतो पण घाटांचा रस्ता म्हटलं की होणारा त्रास आलाच! गाडी थांबवत इतरांच्या सहनशक्तीचा अंत बघत गाडी पुढे जात होती. या सगळयाला कंटाळून(!) संदीपने रस्त्यामधेच बैठक मांडली! पुन्हा continue करत पुढे 'पेरीयक्कम' नावाचा waterfall वाटेत लागला. मुनारला पोहोचलो तर दुपारचे ३ वाजले होते. ड्रायवर काकांची चिडचीड, प्रत्येकाचं असं-नाही-असं-करु ऐकत मंगेश full too formमधे होता :P . एक मस्त Home Stay शोधून काढलं होतं. सगळं सामान तिकडे फेकून एका गाईड सोबत जागा बघायला निघालो. त्या दिवसाच्या scheduleमधे वेळ खुपचं कमी ऊरला होता! एका Blossom Garden नावाच्या पार्कमधे गेलो. बाग अगदीच ठीक होती पण फुलांचे फोतो काढण्याचे किडे डोक्यात होते ती आणि झोके खेळण्याची ईच्छा पुर्ण झाली! :P  पुढची जागा होती एक waterfall. तिथे photo sessions करून घरी परत आलो. ७ वाजले तर काय अंधार पडलेला! आणि रात्रीच्या जेवणाची सोय तिथेच असल्याने खुश होतो. एका अप्रतिम घरच्या जेवणाचा आनंद मिळाला. अरे हो! त्या आधी गणेश चतुर्थी होती म्हणून गणपतीची आरती केली आम्ही सगळ्यांनी..!! जेवण झाल्यावर रात्री शतपावली करायला घराजवळच्या रस्त्यावर फेरफटका मारून आलो.

                 दिवसा इतकीच, कदाचित थोडी जास्तचं मजा रात्री आली! :P पत्त्याचे १०८, Challenge आणि Future prediction हे खेळ खेळताना..! १०८ चे "rules are rules!", Challengeमधे केलेलं ब्लफ.. आणि interesting future predictions! त्यामधे futures predict केले काही. ते मी enlist करतेच!

(सुमंत - १. कोणाला onsite opportunity मिळेल? २. कोण पुण्याला सगळ्यात आधी जाईल? ३.कोणाचा cell phone हरवेल?

संदिप - १. कोण गाडीत उल्टी करेल? २. कोण driverशी भांडण करेल? ३. कोण सगळ्यात आधी मरेल?

रोहीत - १. कोण Bangaloreमधे settle होईल? २. कोणाची बायको/नवरा सोडून जाईल? ३. कोणाला ३ मुलं होतील?

गोपाल - १.कोण सगळ्यांना ice-cream देईल? २. कोणाचं love marriage होईल? ३. कोण first resign करेल?

अमित - १. कोण सगळ्यात आधी Car विकत घेणार? २. कोण सगळयात आधी झोप्णार? ३. कोण IT field आधी सोडणार?

रश्मी - १. कोण overweight होणार? २. whose spouse will have extra-marital affair? 3. कोणाला hike मिळणार?

मी - १. कोणाला सगळ्यात आधी मूल होणार? २. कोणाची २ लग्न होणार? ३. कोणाचं परभाशिकाशी लग्न होणार?

मंगेश - १. कोणाचं सगळ्यात आधी लग्न होणार? २. कोण २ वेग्-वेगळे socks घालणार?

वैष्णव - १.कोण घरी भांडून लग्न करणार? २.? ३.?   ) त्या सगळ्या predictionsच्या चिडवा-चीडवी मधे रात्रीचे १२-१ वाजले!

                दुसय्रा दिवशी सकळी ७ला घरामागच्या जंगलात आम्ही ३-४ लोकं गेलो काय तर म्हणे trek करुया! मजा आली, पेरु, चिंचा पाडल्या (संदिप आणि ववैष्णवला special thanks! :)). आवरा-आवर करून निघायला ९ वाजलेच! आता प्रवास परतिचा होता आणि वाटेत येणाय्रा जागा पाहण्याचा! दूरवर जिकडे पाहू तिकडे चहाचे मळे, धुकं. मस्त थंडी हवा! खुप सुंदर नजारे परत जावसंच वाटू नये! सकाळचा नाश्ता एका हॉटेलमधे 'इडियप्पम्' आणि The Best चहा, कॉफीने झाला. मसाले, काजू, पदीमुकम अशा तिथे खास मिळणा-या गोष्टींची खरेदी करुन पुढे निघालो! टी गार्डनमधे न जाता trip पुर्ण कशी होईल? तर तिथे सुद्धा थोडावेळ फोटोज् काढले. नेक्स्ट जागा होती एक national park. जे आम्ही skip केलं. त्यानंतरची जागा होती एक waterfall. त्याचं नाव होतं 'लोक्कम्'. (ह्या लोकांच्या नावांमधे इतके जोडून शब्द का असतात :P). तिथे काही लोकांनी मनसोक्त डुंबून, तर काहींनी थोडेसे पाय ओले करून तर काहींनी सामानाची काळजी घेवून आपापल्या परीने आनंद लुटला!

                तिथून पुढे आता direct बैंगलोरलाच मधे-अधे कुठेही वेळ वाया न घालवता जाण्याचं ठरलं! मधे एका जागी मोठ्या-मोठ्या शहाळ्यांच पाणी पिलं आणि  खलनायक, बाजीगर अश्या moviesचि all time favorite गाणी ऐकत केरळ, तमिळनाडु borders cross करत होतो. मधे एका जागी paper dosa खाल्ला रात्रिचं जेवण मिळणार नाही अशा तयारीने ! तिथून पुढचा प्रवास NH चा असल्याने fast होता. जोक्स सांगत्-ऐकत, irrelevant बोलत आणि झोपत प्रवास चालू होता. उठलो तेव्हा Marthahalli आलं होतं! Hats off to Mangesh's patience for talking to driver n leadership he taken! (खुश का?!! :P)

P.S. Comments are welcome if I have missed any of the event or happening incident!!

Suppose to be night trek to Skandagiri...

            As every trip this trip als had got lotta discussions but it ended up in some miserable things that had and would never happen again (hopefully :) ) :P We were ready for a night trek to Skandagiri. All set.. ready on time!! (only half an hour late of given time :P) but wondering why no1 is calling to go. then we get to know that two of the drivers themselves had decided and no one knows why the person who was suppose to be our driver didnt turn up. And so, instead of cancelling a so discussed trip Mangesh decided to check some other travels. Finally we left for place at 11:30pm.

            Journey started in so much excitement! Played antakshari.. singing every aa, ee, and uu of a song... Journey was not that long... it seemed even short coz of songs!! In some lonely area some bikers seemed to follow us! oops! forgot to mention... We were 5 gals and 3 guys!! So we had to be carefull :P

            We were some 1km away from the place from where we were going to start a trek. Some 2-3 ppl stopped cab asking to switch off light! They talked something to driver in kannada.We could only understand was there are police and they are not allwoing to Skandagiri! Gosh! We still went ahead and checked thinking it could be some kinda trick local ppl playing! (1am). But that was true. We came back. And those 2-3 guys were actually a guide who wud help during treks and all. And they were telling they would take us to a place through some different route (1:10am). We all were deciding wat to do.. wat wud be safe.. how much money to giv to them.. etc.. even some more vehicles came at same time and we got confirmation that it would be okay if we go with these ppl.

           So, we all came out of the cab and were about to leave... (1:30am).That moment 2 police came. One person came towards us. He was shouting something obv we didnt understand anything as it was in kannada! He got angry since we were not following what he was asking us to do. and he just moved his stick and hit it so hard on driver's leg.. Next second we all were at respective places and in 2 seconds we were away from that place.Those guys who were suppose to be guides they went off in the air just like ghosts!So.. completly disappointed we decided to come back to flat! still some excited minds planned to go to Nandi Hills near by place. Driver was already scared as he was saying he first time in life got bit-up from police.We decided will go nandihills (even though those people were saying even at Nandihills police are not allowing to go).. see sunrise n return... no one was talking a word..

            We reached down to Nandi hills (2:30am) and again there were police and some more people waiting to tick a 4am in clock! So, enthu public in our group decided to have mini-trek on a small platau in front of our car. 3 of us went till top.. 2 managed till middle and 3 even at the start oly(3am). Cold and fresh air... dark dark and dark all around... stars twinkling in the sky... so beautifull over there! Happiness in small version! liked it.. We started climbing down by the time we reach something had happened down with unlucky 3 people who didnt climb up! two small children who were not letting us climb that small hill came with someone like police. As Mangesh and Sumant got hit by his stick.. I missed this event but writing what all i heard from reliable source :P :) And we gave him some bucks to let us go and avoid some more 'lathi-chaar' :D. We reached Nandi hils at 4am and got to know ticket couter and gate wll open at 5:30 or so... again waiting...

            But this time it was really really awesome!! there were almost 100 to 150 people i suppose who were waiting. most of the crowd was drunk.. some cars were playing really loud music to get feel of pub or something like that! And a guy we call him B+ve (he had written his blood group on his car) simply started some stunts around a pole!! and this all went off till 5:30 in the morning! Some bikers came in between and showed their tallent!! it was juss amazing!! and actually helpful to keep our eyes wide open in chilling cold! :) ticket couter opened at 6am. We ran to the point to catch up sunrise! and finally that red globe we managed to see! so calm and beautiful look! ready to burn the world for rest of the day! Ate some stuff we had there and left the place (as all of us had been there and everyone was in hurry to go home!). I dont know who all were awake in journey back to flat as i was sleeping! :P And we were about to reach to our place and the climax of this eventfull trip had to happened!

We were 20 mins away from spencer's and tyre got punctured!!! Driver took his time to fix it up.. we still managed to laugh and click more pics and came back at 9am!!
So... this was like this all weirdest eventfull trip!! We enjoyed everything in it!!! :)

हरवणे...

हरवणे ही प्रक्रिया नेहमीच जरा त्रासदायी वाटते ना..

 म्हणजे लहानपणी चौथीत असताना.. बाबांनी दिलेलं पहीलं शाईचं पेन.. हरवलं??? खुप खुप शोधलं अगं.. पण सापडलंच नाही.. खुप आवडणारं कानातलं.. इथंच तर ठेवलेलं... कुठे गेलं मग...?? नीट ठेवायची राणी कागदपत्र कॉलेजच्या अडमिशनच्या रांगेत उभं असताना ऐकावं लागणारं लेक्चर..! अगदी कहर म्हणजे स्वत:च्या पहिल्या पगारातून खरेदी केलेला महागडा मोबाईल फोन..!

हरवला...!!! :(

हरवणे हे नेहमीच सोबत त्रास, दु:खं, वेदना, यातना असं काही-बाही घेवून येतं.. जादुची कांडी फिरेल आणि ती गोष्ट डोळ्यांसमोर येईल असं वाटंत रहातं..

काही काळाने ती गोष्ट नसण्याचीही सवय होउन जाते.. आणि त्या नसलेल्या गोष्टीच्या असलेल्या आठवणींनी आपण स्वत:ला सावरतो..

वस्तूरुप गोष्टींसोबत असंही काही असतं जे आपण काळानूरूप हरवतो.. लहानपणीचं निरागसपण.. त्यानंतरचं अल्लडपण.. अस बरंच काही..

जुने.. मित्र-मैत्रिणींसोबत घालवलेले क्षण.. काळाच्यापडद्याआड किती सहजपणे (?) विरुन गेलेत.. हरवून गेलेत..आहेत फक्त आठवणी... ते सगळं हरवलय याची जाणिव करुन द्यायला...

25 years of togetherness...

Yeah... this is about a long journey of life.. spending 25 years of one's life with an adorable person. My Maa n Paa will be celebrating 25th Marriage anniversary!
I have seen them going through so many ups n downs of their lives n still sticking together! Yeah one might say for sake of children many a times people make compromises in life.
But i think its a true love only which keep them together even after difficult phases of life.
Well.. as many of their generations people married they had arranged marriage. Both working in two different domains like automobile company n a teacher. Who always had a dream of giving a best to their daughters (not even once they might have had a thought that they could have a son).
A good quality atmosphere maintained in the home! Let it be a shlok Paa had forced us to chant every day morning or Maa had asked to help her in household stuffs (I know it now.. how much that helped it me after leaving home b4 one and half year ago). Enforcing some good habbits and actually behaving the same way has a great impact in my life.
which relation doesn't have miss-understandings? fights? lonely periods of life or may be feeling of getting cheated.. But wat makes u stand still is 3 words might be.. Forgive.. Forget.. And Move On... Each suffering makes you strong and stronger...
They won't talk all big dialouges people might be saying in movies.. But those unspoken words.. I can read them in their eyes.. Love u Maa n Paa.. Miss u..!!!

Kalmane Koffees....

                     This post is something different coz it has a specialness of penning it down at the same place it is about! So, this is the place! Kalmane Koffees in 10 mins distance from our office!
                      There are so many places till now, those have some particular memories and so many good laughter and chit-chats n some times might be some rona-dhona! :P might be steps of college in front of main porch, aapali patrapeti, or space front of library, for some college canteen, hostel room, corner outside of 301 or playground (yes, basket ball court!)
                     Yes, but after college days, this is the place where we(me, snehal, rashmi n vaishnav) often come. And since last 3-4 days we are coming almost daily..! A cup of coffee opens up a lifebox of each one! Which takes out secrets.. we discuss about our past.. keep on guessing about future.. And obviously present is present! :)
                     We have discussed about enhancing Look And Feel of this shop too by giving some thoughtful suggestions to the shopholder! :P I believe it's a magical place. Oops! forgot to mention that a coffee is exceptionally good! My favourite col koffee mocha! :)
And a guy who serves coffee must be confused about a pairing a friend of ours with any one of us coz many a times it happens that he manages to acompany who is willing to go there though he has workload :P :P :P But one fine day we surprized him by visiting all of us together and hopefully cleared all doubts!!! :)
So, this is about this place for time being.. A lot can happen over a Koffee :) :D
