It has been more than 50 hours now, and I am amazed that none of the MNS workers or the leader(Read Mr. Thackeray) have appeared and offered to save Mumbai from terror attack.
They were the ones who were separating Maharashtra some days back and kicking non-Mumbaikar's out of Mumbai...What an irony... Many Hindi speaking bhaiyyas(as they were called by MNS) are now part of armed forces, sacrificing their lives to save Mumbai, which MNS thought was their property....
May God bless them with some intelligence, atleast now !!!

Indian politics-big time fraud
Who are the safest people in India???
Well none other than our POLITICIANS...
It is so strange and sad that nothing is done for safety of innocent citizens in such crisis situation but a politician gets best of security, even in normal days, when there is peace around. Yes, I understand they are important people and there is threat to their life but then they also do NOT have any right to disrupt the normal flow of traffic in peak hours, for their commute and create troubles for us, the citizens, who pay heavy taxes ... Its more than 48 hours and Mumbai crisis is still not over... Each politician wants publicity and wants to make speeches outside the affected areas along with their super-safe gang...The operation is still not over but seems, we have not learnt our lesson, even after this episode.
Earlier, it was only Jammu and Kashmir, which was labeled as one terror affected state...my home state and yes I felt miserable whenever my friends/colleagues made fun of the situation there, alienating the whole state as one of such regions of the country, which was terror stricken, as if we were not humans, as if we were happy living under the shadow of terror... now looking back in time, I feel if journalism had been so aggressive back in 1990 and they could have reported the militancy in Kashmir, may be we would have curbed the whole menace long back, may be we would not have suffered so much, may be this infection would not have spread to the whole country. We kept separating Kashmir and labeling it as one of the affected regions and now it is whole country, which is affected.
Why did not we stand up as ONE COUNTRY back then? Why do we take so much time to learn our lessons? Why don't we take initiative to vote and vow to make a change in our corrupt system? Why cant we kick out dishonest, criminal politicians...who are letting down our armed forces, who are letting us down... At this time of crisis, all the politicians are doing is blaming the current government and government blaming the neighboring country for spreading terrorism in India.So much so, that even senior politicians have tried their best to go to the spot, grab all the attention towards their speeches and make life of security men even more miserable, in providing security to them ...
Its high time, we Indians, get up and stand together in this war against terror!!!
Long live the heroes, the men in uniform, fighting for us.
Amen!!!

Kudos to TimesNow!!!
We have seen mindless journalism for quite a while till TimesNow Channel came and started the, what I call, the intelligent journalism in India. They have sensitized the News channels in India.
I made this observation first time, when they were covering a hostage situation at Chinore, Jammu. All the other news channels covered the event casually, going on and off for the commercial breaks but it was only Times Now, which kept covering the event uninterrupted, without any commercial break. This clearly indicates, the focus of the channel is not just earning money, but they are actually into serious journalism. Well, I don't say that by going on commercial breaks, the other channels become bad, but yes, it shows how insensitive are they to the event and the people associated with the mishap. And, also this channel does not indulge in dramatizing serious events and showing their version of the event. All they talk and show, is the truth. They don't indulge in stupid predictions and drama like many other News Channels in the business...
And when terror struck Mumbai, Times Now took the lead and yes, this time, the other channels followed it, by covering the event seriously. Well, most of the channels...
Keep it up, Times Now!!!
You guys are leading by example!!!

Where is our system leading to ???
I am proud of being an Indian!!!
Today, I am ashamed of the system that is surrounding us, a system that is rotten enough, not to be able to save its best of IPS officers...a system that does not care much about the safety of the citizens...
The terror attack at Mumbai and the sequence of events are very disturbing and are disturbing enough to an ordinary citizen like me..who looks upto the system for my safety. The same system, which cannot provide the best of safety gear to its men in uniform and lets them take the bullets on their chests...
What is happening ???
We need to have a better combat preparedness...we cant leave everything to God and send unprepared armymen to combat these well-trained beasts.. We cant let them die this suicidal death... We don't give even decent tele communication equipments to our security men who are fighting against terrorists who are using satellite phones...
Where in the world, will you find a brave man like late ATS Chief, Mr Hemant Karkare barging inside the terrorist's den wearing a sleeveless bullet proof jacket??? We are ready to loose our brave men owing to a corrupt system, which is so irresponsible towards us, the Indians...
If we do not wake up now, we never will !!!

Salute the men in uniform !!!
I am sure, the same feeling is being shared by all Indians today !!!
Salute the courage and sacrifice of armed personnel, in rescuing the hostages and fighting against the terrorist attach, in Mumbai. This is a moment, when we, all Indians are closely watching the events but they are the heroes, who are working day and night for our safety. Is this just a job? No!!!This is much more than just a job..No salary in the world can make anyone do this..It is just their love for the country and their passion, which is making them fight against the terror.
Long live, our real heroes!!!

My Jammu ..
This is the petition, I would request visitors to sign for me, for my land, my love...Jammu
http://www.petitiononline.com/Amarnath/petition.html
Here is the text of the petition
To: Honourable President Of India
http://www.petitiononline.com/Amarnath/petition.html
Here is the text of the petition
To: Honourable President Of India
It is a matter of great shame for the nation which calls itself secular, that a land of about 800 acres can not be given for construction of temporary sheds for the Amarnath pilgrims at Baltal in Kashmir province of Jammu and Kashmir state. The political leaders of valley have been exploiting the issue just to fulfill their political motives and have been playing with the beliefs of millions of Hindu's living in and outside India.
We would like to bring a fact to your notice that The Forest Minister in the Cabinet was from the PDP, a coalition partner in the government. Yet they (the PDP) refused to accept responsibility for the joint decision (of allocating forest land to set up temporary structures for facilities for Hindu pilgrims during the Amarnath Yatra). The PDP (which is led by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed) played electoral politics of the lowest kind by hitching its voice to the Hurriyat objections, and pulled out of the government And above that Mr. Ghulam Nabi Azad (who held the post of Chief Minister) revoked the land order back while his government was in minority.
Moreover, when Islamia Univ was to be constructed at Rajouri and Kashmir, the state govt gave them forest land and that too free of cost. But the Amarnath Trust was told to pay 2.5 crores of rupees for constructing temporary sheds during the months of Yatra.
Respected madam, we would like to put another fact in front of you that the city of Jammu has been burning since last one month. The JKP (Jammu & Kashmir Police) has been continuously beating up peaceful protesters and killed two of them by opening firing on a procession. I request you to take necessary steps so that peace be restored in this state and land be given back to the Amarnath Trust.
We request the leadership of our nation to intervene into the matter and stop appeasing the handful population of Kashmir at the expense of beliefs of the whole nation.
Sincerely,

Kemmanagundi and River Tern Resort
Before I start jotting down my latest trip details, lemme state this clean and clear....This part of Karnataka has the most beautiful and breathtaking views...just amazingggggggggggggggg
Trip route:
Bangalore - Bababudangiri - Kemmannagundi - River Tern JLR - Bangalore
While approaching Kemmannagundi, we took the diversion on Tumkur road(left) after lord Hanuman's statue. This route is longer than the straight tumkur road that will take you to the place in 252 kms, but we took this route as we were told that the route is very beautiful and you will enjoy the drive. Well, well... at some point of time, we thought we lost our way, but then somehow reached Chikmaglur and from there some how found one signboard to Kemmannagundi...huh...till now, the route was not at all scenic...Once we took this diversion after Chikmaglur, the best part of the trip started. We missed the kemmanagundi signboard in the way(it was not that usual yellow signboard in Karnataka), written on a rock like structure and we went straight up..and reached bababudangiri...The place is just awesome...I mean much more than that...For a while, looked like we have reached Kashmir..quite cold and lush meadows...oooooooooooooh....amazing view...and the route has some many natural water springs...just amazing...
The road to reach Kemmannagundi was better than our stay there.
After spending a day here, we started our journey to River Tern Resort managed by Jungle Lodges and Resorts.The name of resort is derived from a nearby island, which is home for thousands of River Terns. The resort guys take guests near this island in a boat, early morning and stop there foe sometime, so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. And actually, the it is very interesting to see these birds preening, feeding and do so many varied activities. Saw a bird getting fish in its beak for its young ones!!!
The accomodation at the resort is superb, simply superb...We stayed at a cottage , which had a veranda overlooking the waters of the Bhadra reservoir. The place offers beautiful view of sunset over the backwaters....ahaaaaaaa
Coming on to activities at the resort: Wildlife viewing on a jeep ride into Bhadra Tiger Reserve, which is few kilometers from the resort. Then there are water based activities like sailing, kayaking etc. Other than these, one can go for trekking, bird watching, mountain biking and so on...
All in all, a wonderful place to spend your weekend and preferably a long one :)

Kali Wilderness Camp...Dandeli trip...Final post
Well, I think I have been dragging this post for too long.. Meanwhile, we have been to one more trip and I so keen on writing the blog for my recent trip that I think I need to hurry up to finish this one..hehehe
Well, the evening program for the day was to visit Syntheri rock, which is a 300-feet tall granite located inside Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary. Kaneri river flows by the side and it is a spectacular site to watch. Travelled to the wildlife sanctuary for about an hour in a jeep and then walked for some distance to get to the place...Would like to mention a strange thing there... We were busy watching the rock and dint realize that the rock had huge bee-hives with thousands and thousands of bees in them and there were continuous bee droppings pouring on us from the sky ;)
The trip was very very tiring..It was hot and humid...
Now we were approaching the most exciting part of the trip... WHITE RIVER RAFTING...
Next day morning, we started our journey in jeep to river Kali, where rafting is done. There were in total three instructors and they divided us into three groups. Our raft had four people and an instructor..There is a session to make beginners comfortable with water and make them understand some ground rules of rafting. We were made to jump inside the river(of course, with life jackets and water sports gear) ... The first time I jumped in water, the fear of crocodiles almost killed me(remember, crocodiles seen during coracle ride ;)...
Well, I was told that crocodiles donot exist in this flowing water and they are mostly in the lower part of the river.. but who knows..anyways....once decided, need to accomplish the mission ...
The river has 6 rapids, which are mostly class 3 and 4 rapids. We were quite comfortable in first 4 rapids. In between, we reached comparatively slower part of the river, and our great instructor made us all jump into the river by turning the raft upside down... This was one life time experience.. Now comes the real adventure...
Last rapid was a class3 rapid and we crossed it somehow but our great adventurous instructor thought us to give us some more thrill and this is what happened after...
We all turned back to the rapid and tried doing surfing ...While trying to surf, me and my husband, who were sitting at the front of the raft, lost the grip and fell inside the rapid.. We were inside the water for close to 30-40 seconds.. Pranayaam helped us survive that day ...I will never forget those seconds in my life :)
After some time, we started floating over the water...the turbulent rapid had thrown us outside into the river and we were pulled back to the raft. Overall, the experience was pretty good and enjoyable.Pretty exciting!!!

Kali Wilderness Camp...Dandeli trip...continued...
We had reservation for two days at the wilderness camp. Reached Dandeli at around 1pm and we were greeted by the receptionist, who was ready with the plan for the coming two days, for us.
These are the activities at the camp. One can choose between the activities and also decide the time when they wish to join the group heading for a particular activity.
Here is a list of activities :
- Jungle Safari
- Syntheri rocks
- Kavala caves
- Coracle ride
- sykes Point
- and last but not the least...white river rafting!!!
Since, we were tired after train and road journey (Hubli to Dandeli), we opted to go for Safari that evening and not to Syntheri rocks, as we were told that one needs to go down 250 stairs or so to visit the rocks.
Had sumptuous lunch and after relaxing a bit, started the wildlife safari. Unlike most of the sanctuaries, this one has villagers residing inside the jungle. I guess this is because the tribal folks were always part of this jungle area much before it was declared a wildlife sanctuary. Then went back and read some more about these and came to know that one of the tribe's called "Siddi tribe", were part of the slave trade that went on between Portuguese ans Indian Princely states. The descendants of these slaves ran away and managed to stay alive in jungle. "Gowlis" are another tribal folks, who speak Marathi and believed to have their origin in Rajasthan.
We saw a model village outside the sanctuary area(few pics added above). The model shows few villagers, their shelters, cattle and a glimpse of their lifestyle.
The safari was in an open jeep and we were six people with a naturist and a driver. Everytime, he would spot a bird or an animal, he will make us all aware of its name, species, characteristics...At first, we spotted a Giant Squirrel, dark seal brown in color, with a tail that was almost 2 feet long. Generally dwells in upper part of the trees. After watching it jump from one tree branch to another,we moved ahead...Next we saw, a Brahminy Kite, a scavenger, thrives on dead fish,crabs and stays on trees near wet areas. Then a "Crocodile's Dentist" :) This bird(dunno the actual name but local people all it by this name), feeds on left overs that remain in a crocodile's teeth. One can easily spot crocodiles lazing on river banks, with their mouth wide open. Guess what, they wait for this bird to come and clean their teeth. Hence, the name...Found it quite interesting ... Also, saw quite a few bisons, peacocks, wild dogs...Strangely, deers are not seen in Dandeli forest, which are commonly found in other wild life sanctuaries in Karnataka like B.R.Hills, Bandipur, Kabini etc.
In the middle of the forest, is the Sykes Point, which is believed to be the most beautiful viewpoint in Karnataka. You can see, an amazingly lush green forest and river Kali flowing through it. Spent sometime at this viewpoint and then started our journey back to the resort. Reached back in almost an hour. It had grown dark by then. Relaxed with a cup of tea and played a game of carom. Well, the main activity in the resort, (atleast for me ) is fooood:)
After a yummy dinner, it was time to go off to bed. Quite a tiring day...
Next morning, we started with coracle ride. Coracle is a saucer shaped boat made of bamboo. This is the time to watch birds and be lucky enough to spot some crocodiles. We saw weaverbirds, kingfishers and quite a lot of egrets and of course some "Crocodile's dentists too ".
Our group was lucky enough to spot two crocodiles, one of them was quite chilled out and kept posing for all of us all the while. Here are some of the pics of this bold and beautiful creature ...

Kali Wilderness Camp...Dandeli trip..
Well to start with, I am back to this blog after quite a long time n I do apologize for not being able to update it regularly. Meanwhile, I have quite a few topics to post and hope I post good , informative stuff on my blog... We had been visiting quite a few places in and around Bangalore and I thought to share our experiences in my blog and let others be benefited from it. Well, to be clear it is not a review on the places where we had been and it is just an effort to pen down the memorabilia of the travel trips... So, lemme start with the latest one that we made over the last long weekend, to Kali Wilderness camp. Kali wilderness camp is located at Dandeli, which is about 481 kms from Bangalore. Nearest railway stations are Hubli(72 kms), Dharwad(55 kms), Alnavar(32kms). Since we were not very familiar with the Northern part of Karnataka and had heard that Dharwad and Alnavar are not big stations, so we booked our train tickets to Hubli, as Hubli is comparatively a bigger railway station and hence we thought that it would be easy to get taxi from there to reach Dandeli. Well, enough of logistics ...
Tired :)
Next blog will elaborate the activities in Kali wilderness camp, places to visit and a list of must-to-do things ...
Stay tuned ...
Enjoyeee
