Peace

I wanna go on a road trip someday. Alone. Explore places. Sleep in the Car. Stop a lot of times, just to admire the view. Meet new people. Listen to your favorite playlist while driving through the boulevards. Chase never ending Sun/Moon. Stargazing. Take raw and wild pictures to mother nature. Go deep into the forest, just to escape the routine. Feel the mud. Feel the Air. Feel the water. That feeling of being levitated. Just want to make some memories to cherish. Write a book on those beautiful moments experienced. Take time to observe, try to understand how this all works. I wanna live. I wanna feel alive.

Save Water(Rally for rivers)

"This is not a protest. This is not an agitation. This is a campaign to raise awareness that our rivers are depleting. Everyone who consumes water must Rally For Rivers."   ---- Sadhguru

It is observed that most of our perennial rivers are depleting, As both  the population and development is increasing the usage of water from the rivers has increased in such an extent that our rivers have become seasonal.To our negligence smaller water bodies have already vanished.And due to these idiotic activities the no of floods and droughts are increasing in an exponential degree.

Scientist made several warnings to the government, that they need to initiate some thing in order to protect water bodies and rivers. Our government has neglected these warnings and now we are in this mess of  water scarcity and  dying rivers.

But our guru,. "Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev" has initiated this movement in order to protect the nature .

Saving Rivers:

There are so many measures to save rivers but the most efficient way we choose. They are

• Planting Trees

• comparison of water absorption with and without trees

• increasing the proportion of river water from underground flow

What should we do to protect our rivers??
One must create awareness among our selves about this issue. And we the educated ones , it our duty to bring awareness among the illiterates.

An Escape In Search of Fresh Air

An Escape In Search of Fresh Air

It was the first day of 6^th semester. After a long boredom semester break, With total frustration “Three friends “ have decided to take a long break to feel the breeze out of well.

These are the ahhh? What we call, Experiences, Memories come only by travelling. So this is one type of memory that was rooted deep in our hearts.

So, Plans Started, Planed as if we are on an education beneficial visit to IIT Madras, Of cource we were benefitted with that too as well.

Tickets booked on 29^thdec 2016, for howrah-chennai mail to “Detroit of Asia”, City where tradition lives “Chennai”.

The day has come, waiting with pocket full of cash, and fully packed luggage at Visakhapatnam, We boarded the train at 2:45 pm(3 hours late) and the journey to find eternal joy started. Stations passed by, passengers are coming and going but we are having our memories with joy, As the train crosses station by station , the anxiety and excitement are increasing immensely.

All of a sudden the Fast moving train stopped with greater retardation, it seems like some station has arrived “dim lights” and it was 3oclock in the morning and every one are leaving the train we were surprised, we questioned ourselves that, why all of them are getting down and shocked to know that the train has arrived 1 hour early …. ‘OMG’ we  thought “already 3 hours were wasted” but to our luck or whatever we were arrived an hour early.

Took all the luggage walking on the platform, walking, walking, waking that’s what we have done for 10 minutes and finally reached a place, Some thing looks like a big multiplex. What how can we go to a multiplex directly by train???.. Shit man that, the station itself looks like a big shopping Mall.

Day-1(30^th Dec)

Freshed up ourselves, there in the station itself, and came out of the station. Its 9oclock in the morning(peak time as office and school time nah!!!), So many buses are coming and going, for every 5 secs there come a new bus , What is the use when you don’t understand tamil. Struggled for some time and got to know by some local guy that it would be easy and affordable to travel on metros. Glad to hear that, we boarded a metro and reached Kasturba nagar in less than 20 minutes. We were suggested that it would be a walk able distance from Kasturba nagar to IIT Madras.

Finally We were at the gate of IIT Madras , we were welcomed with a lush green cover all over our site, and young lads like us. There we boarded the bus and reached the rooms that we were allotted.

Day-1 Has passed locked up the Seminar Halls , done some serious workshops and uffff done and by evening we were totally exhausted and decided to take some rest.

Day-2(31^st dec)

Woke up early in the morning, freshed up, requested some IIT guys to give their cycles for a round trip in the campus. It was around 400 acre campus we roamed it like we travelled just 1 kilometre. The campus is decorated with green cover, highly polished roads, restaurants etc…

And it was noon and decided to go on for shopping, booked a cab on OLA(the most responsive service) and gone to a famous Pheonix Mall. Had some shopping and by 9oclock in the evening we reached Elliot’s Beach.

It was like a festival there-- families , children , lovers, youth, whole Chennai is at beach. It was an eye treat for us to watch all the lights, chilled weather, and the music of rustling beach tempted to go into the beach, but It was risky at that time. So, we enjoyed only the sight of it.

Its 11:59 in 2016, one minute away from 2017, Every one are ready to yell those, three words “Happy New Year”. .

Countdown started  10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 “Cracker sounds”... Cake celebrations  and finally Its 2017. Every one wished  Happy New Year.

Day-3(1^st Jan)

So time to evacuate rooms and we decided to change our Base to “Mahabalipuram”. Took a Bus at “Adhyar” to Mahabalipuram. Fare was just 50 rupees and is around 60 km from Chennai. Travelling on Bus via ECR road be like you are in the air.

Finally reached “Mahabalipuram” at 2oclock in the noon and booked a room there. Got ready ourselves and gone to see the “lord krishna’s Butter Ball”. It was a big Rock almost circular in shape resting on an incline. What?? how can a circular object can stay rested on an inclined plane defying gravity???. How Crazy ?? Questions are arising in my mind but there were no answers to them. Spent some time there seen some Pandava’s caves. And moved forward to Shore temple.

The way to Shore temple from the Butter Ball is very narrow and on both sides beautifully decorated shops with some attractive lights arrangement to attract customers were there.

At last we took tickets to the shore temple, cost is around 20 rupees. It looks like a park with a trimmed grass and a bunch of trees too and at the centre of the area the shrine was there and in the long shot we can see a long beach. The architecture looks like temples on the temple with carved statues and the engineering looks so strong that it can survive any natural calamities for another 1000 years. Apart from engineering and architecture it is the most beautiful monument alive.

The closing time of the temple is 6. So, we need to go out now. So we gone to beach spent some time there and finally reached our rooms at 10 at night.

Day-4(2^nd Jan)

Our return train was booked on 3^rd Jan at 9oclock in the evening at chennai. So we were left with one day, So, we decided to go to “Pondicherry”.

Its a Two hour journey from Mahabalipuram to Pondy. So we Took a Bus, 8oclock in the morning and reached there at  10:15. First, we went to Pondicherry Museum, there you can watch the culture and articles used at the time French invasion. And later in the evening we went to Botanical garden good to see it. And by evening we reached The famous “Promenade Beach”. Due to its concrete beauty and the lights it looked great and had dinner at KFC and again came to promenade beach and now we have seen Gandhi’s statue. And decided to sleep there in the beach itself. To be frank you can actually sleep on the floor of the road, not a single sand grain is visible. So, slept on a chair. We planned to watch the sunrise at “Serenity Beach”.

Three Friends at serenity beach

Day-5(The final day)

So, by 5oclock in the morning we reached “Serenity beach”, it was one of the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. Feeling the silent cool breeze early in the morning and simultaneously watching the sunrise be like you are flying to heaven. That was most beautiful sight and will be registered in our hearts forever.

Gone back to mahabalipuram and packed our luggage and reached Chennai done some shopping and returned to railway station. Leaving all these beautiful places, and carrying all the memories in our hearts and living with them.

Toy Photography

When your toy car becomes a fantasy racing car.
However it cannot be done in the real case as the Toy will be looking only as toy we do not find any fantasy in it, unless we are a 10 year old kid lol..

So, how can we make it??

If you cannot find your fantasy in it, its totally useless for us (people like me ;p ). So we need to create a new way to discover fantasy ,....I Found It In PHOTOGRAPHY...

Travel to Araku Valley

Some of the India's most stnningly beatiful places are on the tribal terrrain. It is the home to most beautiful waterfalls, caves, water bodies and lush forests teeming with flora and fauna. There is a reason for this as well. These places are remote, inaccessible places far away from the developed cities.

ARAKU VALLEY:

Araku is the picturesque of tribal settlement in the eastern ghats, about 120 km to the north of the port city of Visakhapatnam, Which also happens to be my home town. For me the drive is an end in itself, a mind blowing expierience as one navigates through umpteen hair pin bends on a steep mountain road  which snakes its way up the eastern ghats to an altitude of some 1200 meters above sea level.

This small tourist place is very famous for its coffee beans as the tribal people  are harvesting a wide varieties of coffee, and also famous for its most beautiful flower gardens.

The Golden Sunset

Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under.

Its Always a good thing to skip your work for some time and loft yourselves into the golden world, Take a moment and experience it. It would fill an immense amount of energy and  refuel you.

Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.
