Dream

Vrushali is at Gateway Of India, watching at waves. She is enjoying beautiful sea view. It is nice sunset view. As it is growing darker, she started towards station. Today no one from roadside seller, photographers and beggars was disturbing her. Road, sea-shore is too clean. Sweepers are doing their job keenly. Everyone is enjoying spot. Vehicles are parked nicely. She reached at road crossing. Traffic is there, but all vehicles are following signal strictly. Traffic is moving smoothly in absence of vehicles changing lane rashly. For a moment she thought like she is in foreign country, so neat & clean roads. She stepped in at station, it is clean. Local train users are getting in & out in queue silently. People are helping each other in train by offering seats to elders. Vrushali is very happy as her experience for day was good. Today is nice day for her. She got surprised how this sudden change is happened in Mumbai. Efficiency of people got increased. Everything is neat & clean. No traffic jam, no people fight, everything is good & fine. Suddenly alarm rang, Vrushali started searching from where the sound is coming. It was watch showing morning 5 o’clock alarm. Vrushali wake up from her dream. Dream about nice India, nice Mumbai, where everyone is leaving happily & peacefully.

Coorg Visit

I enjoyed my coorg visit during my last vacation. It was around 10 hour journey from Panvel junction to Manglore by Konkan railway. And 3 hr journey from Mangalore to Madikeri by car. Mangalore route is parallel to coast. Coorg route is consist of curves and valleys full. When we reached at Madikeri it was morning 9 o’clock. The atmosphere was too cool & fresh. It was like cloud came to touch the road. Everywhere you can see greenery, areca nut (Supari) trees,rubber trees, pepper trees. On first day, we visited Madikeri. Madikeri is the main town of the coorg (koddugu) district. Raja’s seat is one of the scene points. It is present at top of hill. History tells that Raja used to sit at this place to enjoy nice valley greenery & cloudy scenes. Small garden is provided near this Raja’s seat. Then a path through coffee and cardamom plantation leads us towards the Abbey’s falls. The roar of the falls can be heard from road. It is big water fall where we enjoyed water splashing. On second day, we visited Dubare. This place is known for elephant camp. Here we enjoyed elephant ride, Bathing an elephant. As this place is at banks of Kaveri river, we enjoyed boating. Then we visited Nisargdhama, which is nice picnic point. Nisargdhama is an island formed by river Kaveri. Island is accessible through a hanging rope bridge. We saw deer park at Nisargdhama. On third day, we visited Talakaveri. It is the place from where kaveri river origins. It is holy place worshipped for kaveri temple. Nearby place Bhagmandala, which is situated at confluence of three rivers mainly kaveri, kanika & sujyothi. Among these Sujyothi is hidden one. After this we started back to mangalore & then finally to Mumbai. Coorg is nice place to visit. It will relax you from your day to day office life.
