Interaction In And Around Hampi

Interaction In And Around Hampi

As I reached Hampi and having checked in Rocky Guest House what I could gather was meeting with Mr Kiran of Gopi Guest House won't be possible before Monday as he had gone to attend a wedding in Bengaluru. WhatsApp chats from Anegundi least revealed his travel plans and I doubly sure of meeting him the moment I stepped on Hampi soil.  Saturday and Sunday were spent Exploring Hampi and to one's surprise there were rains every second to third hour. Rains that didn't let sultry conditions set in and here we were amidst surroundings that uploaded green space to one's delight. Getting to know the fare that automen would charge to pay a visit to an ATM brought forth the clandestine designs and here one was helpless. To my surprise Mr Giri appeared willing to fetch me a ride be it Anjanadri Betta, Anjanadri Hills, Hanumanahalli or the desire to flock to Kamlapur where some get captivated post Hampi visit to drool. 

Making An Appearance On A Monday

Mr Kiran finally made an appearance on Monday looking ever ready to look back at the innings of Gopi Guest House and efforts that went to raise this Paradise. Interaction with him revealed that his parents moved heaven and earth to get Gopi GH going and it were in the early years of '90s that it came up. From then Gopi GH had been receiving steady stream of visitors with more willing to record observations in note books neatly kept next to the cashier table. The notings could be anything about the services rendered in Gopi to they taking a trek to Hampi and far away places and gaining breather of sorts after returning to Guest House post exhaustive visits.  

The Duration Of Stay Could Vary

Tourists flocking to Hampi and staying in Gopi and other Guest Houses could be anything between one week to over a month. The time I was in Hampi it was a lean season (April To August) with fewer staging a comeback. During the rush hour season the visitors mostly from Scandinavian countries had developed a liking for Gopi and other guest houses and innumerable tales one could link to with many repeat visitors. Repeat visitors increased the footfall and brought handsome dividends to them. Unlike Mr Rakesh Singh alone guiding Rocky Guest House and getting positive vibes he deserved, here there were four brothers going by the names Gopi, Kiran, Naresh and Manju and some among them steering the wheels of Gopi and the bonhomie they shared was amazing. The stay this time in Rocky Guest House was something to raise applause and perhaps when the season is on the visitors and their footprint take a jump and they stay for a better part of a month.

All Eyes On New Hampi

Mr Kiran divulged that his another establishment was coming up in New Hampi and all eyes were fixated to its Inauguration Days. One wasn't sure how far New Hampi would be from here and would it portend challenges and dynamics of a different scale? During the course of conversation he got me on line with a gentleman in New Delhi who was least willing to budge despite blistering heat. From traffic mayhem to pestering heat New Delhi had seen it all and this made Hampi poles apart. With no extreme weather fluctuations and with rains in sizeable droplets every now and then the weather whiplash was least to bother about. And this made Mr Kiran thunder that Hampi was All Heaven.

Interaction With Mr Sai Of Annapurna Cafe

I had equal opportunity to interact with Mr Sai of Annapurna Cafe And Restaurant who had least hesitation in sharing his mobile number and content with earnings be it solitary visitor on a dull day or more than dozen marking attendance another day. I had the fortune of interacting with Ganesh Restaurant Staff when I had visited Hampi in September 2014. And here now the said cafe shut down (low season) the sister cafeteria Vishnu hosting visitors now and then. Interaction with staff of Prince Cafe was short and swift and so was tete-a-tete with a host of other meal drop outlets. The New Year rings in visitors in abundance and so does other Festival Days And Hampi takes pride in the fact that in the face of uncluttered climate it has reasons to smile and lend surprise.

Stay In Hampi And Trek To Vitthala Temple; Leaving Hampi For Bengaluru

Stay In Hampi And Trek To Vitthala Temple; Leaving Hampi For Bengaluru

Having reached Hampi on a Saturday and having checked in Rocky Guest House there were fewer revelations with far away the desk of aviation. The guest house personnel going by the name Mr Lakshman got me on line with owner Mr Rakesh Singh who later divulged that three generations had been born and brought up in Hampi and family's tree one could trace to Rajasthan. Lakshman was helpful in nick of time dispensing mineral water which was of a brand that was not contaminated. If ever one ventures out of home one has to watch out for accommodation one stays, the food one takes and water one drinks.  

Here ATMs Disappear In Thin Air

From 2018 what had changed in Hampi was the turnout of people flocking Virupaksha Temple (Lord Shiva Temple) and nearby areas. ATMs and State Bank Of India branch had been done away with and this incovenienced the tourists and making them negotiate a ride to Kamlapur and that too to gain ATM Advantage was a tall order. In Kamlapur there were in all four ATMs, some functioning and some gathering dust for ages. A malfunctioning ATM can lead to series of issues and here caution is the buzzword. After returning from Kamlapur with notable mention of the road that leads to the same from Hampi and this set of road evokes curiosity as well as praise. Evergreen to the last mile, this stretch is wonder of wonders. 

Anjanadri Betta One More Time

Settled for dinner from Prince cafeteria and early next day set out on a mission to access Anjanadri Betta one more time.  The time I entered sanctum sanctorum and the time I left the collection of devotees wasn't that tall considering it was a holiday with more geared to stay at home. Before noon sets in I settle for grub from Annapurna cafe and restaurant run by brother-sister duo. The cafeteria neat and tidy till the last stretch, the cuisine that is prepared and deft skills employed for the same is something to applause. There is least application of spice and the food that is served is soft on stomach

Leaving For Vitthala Temple

Start on foot at 3.50 PM from Hampi. There are directions to Vitthala Temple, Achyutaraya Temple and Yeduru Basavarana.  Vendors of tea, cap and fruits take a fair space.  A little later go past  the board giving directions to  YANTRODHARAKA HANUMAN TEMPLE. Few minutes  later some trying to board a boat on Tungabhadra River. At 4.07 we are in Achyutarapura. On a board places impeccably mentioned in and around  Achyutarapura. At 4.07 we reach Varaha Temple. At 4.12 reach Sugriva Cave. Sugriva cave is one of narrow caves found among the many boulders that make up the hillocks of Hampi area. Here in proximity are  banana plantations. 

Reaching Vitthala Temple

At 4.25 we reach notings made on Vijayanagara Architecture. Reach Vitthala Temple at 4.30. The Vitthala Temple represents the highest watermark of the Vijaynagara style of art and architecture. The temple is said to be built under the patronage of Devaraya II (1422-46CE) on the basis of a reference in Uttara Narasimha Purana. The entry to the temple is from side way as well with no entry fee whatsoever. After exiting from here Virupaksha Temple is 2.3 kms. While coming back from Vitthala Temple sighting of a board

-Beware of crocodiles

- No swimming. Deadly whirlpools in the river. A little later when I reach Kodandarama Swamy Temple I take coconut water from Ramavilas centre. Make it to Hampi before 6 PM sets in. One is too exhausted by taking this trek and I settle for ORSL Electrolyte Orange Drink. 

The ride from Hampi to Hospet to Bengaluru

From Hampi Hospet is 13 kms. The ride is on Kamlapur Road with  banana plantations making appearance now and then. Go past The Hampi Bazar Banana silk. Plots for sale. RGRA approved plots. The ride is through a colony with well maintained road. 

Sightings On The Way; Reaching Hospet Central Bus Stand

Sight the world famous DODLA milk van. Go past Asirvad Micro Finance Ltd Mannapuram Finance Ltd. Go past Banaras Pan Centre. As these notings are made one appears flustered with no porters at Hospet Central bus stand.  One has to trudge to Platform One. Next to Platform One Mr Kanchan Gowda guides me about Airavat bus service. The wait at Platform One brings forth the image of an India where everytime KSRTC bus used to come the number of passengers waiting to get in outstripped  the number of seats available. 

Wind Plants In Good Numbers

AIRAVAT bus starts a little after 4.45 PM. No sooner the bus leaves there are sighting of wind plants and this bringing in detail the stride The State Of Karnataka has taken to get to clean air.  Kudligi comes at 5.15.  Some could be seen carrying SBI Passbooks which has to be updated to get to the bottom of transactions. And transactions could be anything under the sun

What Distance Keeps Apart Mangalore, Shivamogga And Chitradurga

At 5.40 Mangalore is 375 kms, Shivamogga 162 and Chitradurga 80. Reach Chikajogihalli at 5.45. At 6.10 reach Mudala Machikere. At 6.23 Mangalore 317, Shivamogga 126 and Chitradurga 20.  Here thinking about Ajmer Shatabdi Train emanating from Ajmer and reaching New Delhi. Thinking as well about Morbi in Gujarat. Mr Mahesh Shankar who is seated next to me and has an eye for detail tells me about Yantrodharaka Temple (Lord Hanuman Temple) on way to Vitthala Temple. At 6.28 wind power plants in a row could be seen. At 6.30 there are  directions to Mangalore, Davangere and Chitradurga.  At 6.32 directions as well to Chitradurga, Turuvanur and Bengaluru. If hoarding of Spoorthi Delicacy are there so are other hoardings signifying the import of travelling in AIRAVAT BUS which are serviced at regular interval thereby enlisting cheers. The bus makes it to Majestic well after 10.40 with the ride in Bengaluru through Raj Kumar Road and Rajaji Nagar. 

Interaction Was Quite Broad

Interaction with Mr Mahesh was  broad and quite gratifying. He had been invited by IIT Delhi for a conference in recent past. Though quite impressed by wide well maintained roads of Delhi, he could not get the opportunity to be face to face with traffic temperament of city as much of the commute was accomplished by metro. During a stopover at Kamat Refreshment Centre (Kamat Refreshment Centre Is In Nashik In Maharashtra State As Well) we waded into other areas of interest with issues that least invite controversy and ire and issues that raise 24 ×7 vigil and desire.

In Bengaluru The Two Temples I Came Across; Leaving Anegundi For Hampi

In Bengaluru The Two Temples I Came Across; Leaving Anegundi For Hampi

While In Bengaluru visits to food outlet Gandharva Uphara which is in 12, 4th Cross R K Puram revealed the simplicity maintained here with no fear. The food on table was soft on stomach and the one holding the fort Mr Ravi and his peers on occasions having doughnuts. Visits as well to SRI BHAVAHARA GANPATHI TEMPLE and SRI ANNAMMADEVI MAHASAMSTHANA on S C Road were truly uplifting with those marking their attendance at the latter had possibilities least receding. SRI ANNAMMADEVI MAHASAMSTHANA HAD AUDIENCE surge during day time with some hoping their day to day itinerary won't stay still and would shine.

Taking A Stroll In Anegundi And Exploring

While taking a stroll in Anegundi came across Akhil Eco-friendly Handmade Paper Craft Shop as well as Jamia Masjid and here notable mention may be made of some of the places that come under Koppal Tourism. Perhaps if one were to take a ride in Sweekar ( public transport battery operated) and going past Hoova Cafe and Navavrundavana Darshini the will to explore could bring one face to face with

- Uramma Temple

- Honna Agasi

- Ranganath Temple

- Gagan Mahal

- Gram Panchayat

- Cottage Industry

- Navabrindavana Ghat

- 64 Pillar Mantapa

- Talwarghatta Gate

- Chintamani Temple Complex

- Hucchappayana Matha

- Durgadevi Temple

- Ane Maatu Onte Saalu

- Royal Palace

- Festival Ground

Anegundi Village

Anegundi is a significant historical site in Karnataka, located on the left bank of Tungabhadra river in Gangavathi Taluk. An inscription from 1349 AD refers to Anegundi as 'Bhaskara Kshetra Dakshina Varanasi Hastinapura'. During the Vijaynagara period foreign travelers like Nuniz and Dominge Paes mentioned Anegundi as ' Nagundium and Senagundium'. 

While going towards No 1 River Cross To Hampi there are bamboo made boats lying unattended. There is a solitary vessel on the side of Hampi trying to earn some brownie points. As ATMs in and around KVR Complex have shut shop and Hoova Cafe too not in functioning mode the hoarding of Spoorthi Group Of Institutions evoke little interest. Hoova Cafe and the little girl Shreya whom I came across in 2014 is now studying in Bengaluru and perhaps settling for meals from college canteen and this run by those who have never been to Rajasthan's Churu. 

Leaving For Hampi

As I left Anegundi acknowledging the true services rendered by members of Vaibhava Guest House (Mr Parshuram, Mr Malappa) the stay here in 2014, 2018 and 2025 were truly testament to the ideology that a base here can raise impeccable memories that you want to share. AS I left Anegundi on a Saturday with whisper in the corridors that the next place to rewind would be none other than Hampi where given the undiluted weather there is least urgency to run AC. The ride to Hampi lasted little over 25 minutes and having checked in Rocky Guest House ( Mr Rakesh Singh Is The Man Holding Fort) the room that is spared is spacious and neat and here in this town no one can sight cars' fleet.  

Made rounds of Prince Restaurant Home Made Food, Annapurna Cafe And Restaurant, Vishnu Restaurant, Archana Restaurant (river view), Archana Shop, Gopi Restaurant and other places. Visited Virupaksha Temple on a Monday and participated in Abhishek Prayer Session which was quite elaborate and the staff very helpful. And the trek to Vitthala Temple and back consumed little over two-and-a-half hour. The stay in Hampi wasn't that elaborate perhaps erasing hopes on keeping a date with all significant milestones which are to stay steady for eon. 

The stay in Rocky Guest House illustrated the innings of a resident who was sweet and caring enough to ensure the three day sabbatical was something to hail and greet.

The Ride From Bengaluru To Hospet Outer And This Place Has Fewer Border

The Ride From Bengaluru To Hospet Outer And This Place Has Fewer Border; Visits to  ANJANADRI BETTA ( Lord Hanuman Birthplace)

Having reached Bengaluru on a Tuesday with OORU The Canteen at Kempegowda Airport kind enough to dispense Curd Rice there were ample people who cherished the same cuisine almost thrice.    And having checked in Vasuda Residency there were remote chances that I would make it to Anegundi well before night sets in (next day) and here no one sharing the wedding ring. Mr Arun of Vasuda Residency was able to place me and I was allotted Room No 116 and here I hoped no one played any tricks even if  faltering were the prospects of BRICS.   Adora The Cafeteria was the one to think of and here the visit was to try Tomato Fry and Plain Rice. Next morning I made rounds of Anand Rao Circle  to visit in and around areas that had green shade and at a time when there was little traffic and none driving at a speed maverick. I had ample time and visits to Gururaja store to get the requisite product was a success and here there are enough Alexis.

Left Bengaluru For Anegundi From Anand Rao Circle

Left Bengaluru at 2.10 PM from Anand Rao Circle. The bus (Vaisnav Travels) which made its way through MALLESWARAM The Market was in Bengaluru hot spots well past 3.30 in a city known to unfurl on different occasions gaiety.  Gains traction at 4 and here none whatsoever uproar. Goes past Dabaspet. Goes past BBM Ispat which is wonder of wonders and talked about in Riyadh. Series of toll plaza for a distance that has to be negotiated is 300 kms and here none the need for traffic tutors. Drizzle that is off and on makes the ride less unnerving and less disconcerting.  By 6.15 121 kms have been taken care of and the ride is on a road with a mix of different set of vehicles with trucks taking a fair space primarily Maharashtra State bearing number plates and their steady base. At 7 PM the bus takes a detour to visit a snack point and there was no alarming need to stick to this regime as already the bus was behind schedule with no handy tool. 

A little later there are directions to Chitradurga and from here on the bus starts developing teething trouble and it can't sight on road its double. Prior to this the bus was on a latitude of great speed and great affection and amidst flowing traffic equation. Now it can't get back to functional mode. Perhaps the bus is riddled with issues not known to mankind even if news are biased on a set of channels during prime time. By the time Hospet Outer is accessed it is 9.55 PM,  40 minutes behind schedule and I am left on a spot where there are just trucks and trucks and none here can drool. I hail an auto driven by Mr Khalil Ahmed and this one is EV and those doing place-hopping with or without playing VV.  

Reach Anegundi And Here None Are Supposed To Pay Any Duty

I reach Anegundi at 10.50 with a ride traversed on a road well maintained and there is a solitary Karnataka State Transport Corporation bus that can be sighted doing the rounds and with no word yet on who would take the crown. The automan mentions the visit by people of other countries in spots that we touched while going towards Anegundi and how the day to day bread and butter is tied with they getting their requisite PD. Mr Parshuram and Mr Malappa are my hosts in Vaibhava Guest House and meeting them after seven years with no grouse. 

Visits To Anjanadri Betta (Lord Hanuman Temple) In Anjanadri Hill, Hanumanahalli

Visits To Anjanadri Betta (Lord Hanuman Temple), Anjanadri Hill, Hanumanahalli  on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday was on the back of clean air and less traffic hugging each other and this adding to clean environment fair.  On A Saturday left at 8 AM. Start ascending 473 steps at 8.17 and reach at 8.32  and stay there till 11.40 with none getting haughty. In temple there is fair sprinkling of Kannada speaking people with some Andhra and Telangana residents too making it in record time and retain shine. The stay in temple is comforting and pious. Start descending at 11.45. Downstairs meet Mr Murthy and family members whom I have been in touch with since September 2014. Take auto at 12.05 PM and reach Guest House at 12.20 and hope of those who have ever experienced this area beauty. 

On A Saturday left for temple from Anegundi a little after 6 AM. Start ascending steps at 6.30. Stay in the temple is till 10.15 with prayers offered much to my satisfaction. On A Sunday left for Anjanadri Betta, Anjanadri Hill, Hanumanahalli from Hampi at 5.50 AM. Reach at 6.25. After ascending steps reach the top at 6.40. Stay till 7.40 and start descending with thoughts that cross my mind that I should get opportunities to visit the temple again and again even if fewer are supposed to gain fame. 

The Stay In Anegundi was in Vaibhava Guest House for four days and Mr Parshuram making every effort to see the stay was minus irritants and I would remain ever grateful to him and his family for disbursing meals timely. The stay was commensurate with the objective to make rounds of Anjanadri Betta to take blessings from the Lord and this visit would be keenly recalled down the decades with some making note of different set of tickets. Here mopeds flow in great numbers with less and less sighting of four wheelers. Contentment takes a new cake and here visitors are greeted with showers that come from sky be it morning or middle night and here fewer are in a situation tight. Content to live with fewer resources this ready spot in India gives thumbs down to those trading in bourses.  Content to live and share, this spot is a readymade lively fair.

The Ride To Bengaluru And Beyond

The Ride To Bengaluru And Beyond. Much of April Session was on a discovery trail to find out the exact momentum I could gain to reach ANJANADRI Betta (birth place of Lord Hanuman). As I left Safdarjung Enclave home on a Tuesday the sighting of bumper to bumper vehicles made one wonder what would be shape of traffic 20 years down the line. There were near misses on Electric Vehicles (EVs) and it would take at least 10 years to see them play to a new tune. While stuck in traffic snarl the thoughts were on Bhagalpur Katarni Chura and if one had this with curd it could be soft on stomach. The point at which there were traffic imponderables that very section may have housed lush landscapes 200 years ago. Thoughts were as well on Bengaluru Anand Rao Circle and milk flow from a vendor that was high on nutrients. As one entered Wing 1D of Delhi Airport the sighting of premium bus lanes may not dilute weird response from onlookers who give thumbs down to VIP Culture. Delhi is home to VIPs who skip taking ride in EVs. Security personnel (CISF) Mr Sayan K R Ray seem to be a content person with no airs. Met an aged couple from Tibet settled in and around Hubli for over 50 years. Here thoughts were on Gujarat places I have visited and the sense I could make of people residing there. Came across Security Personnel Mr Maidul Ali prior to boarding the aircraft. The interaction with a student pursuing BSc Economics from Shiv Nadar University revealed if intake of students is increased by a mammoth proportion the quality of education disbursed would look dishevelled and disproportionate. The liftoff was around 2.15 with the machine hobbling in the air on occasions and touchdown a little before 5 PM with an urgency to collect the baggage and leave for Kempegowda Bus Point. The Ride in the bus symbolised that on Indian roads if travelling back and forth to airport can test your patience and make you sit up and take note of the series of flyovers that have not cemented to reality in prescribed time. By the time I made entry to Bengaluru's Anand Rao Circle it was well past 7 PM and I made a dash to Vasuda Residency with a prayer that stay be minus hiccups. A little after 2PM the next day I left Bengaluru with weather where there were ample rains and and ample gains. Reaching Hospet Outer and then taking auto ride (EV) to Anegundi consumed no less than eight hours and by the time I was in Vaibhava Guest House it was almost 11PM. I was in pursuit of marking attendance at ANJANADRI Betta in Anjanadri Hill and next morning I set on a course cruising with the advantage of clean air and next to nil traffic on road.

Back And Forth There Were Revelations On Connectivity To Anegundi In Karnataka State In South India.

Back And Forth There Were Revelations On Connectivity To Anegundi. Back and forth there were revelations that connectivity to Anegundi in Koppal District in Karnataka State in South India from Bengaluru would be realised and that too in the middle of night and not earlier. Back and forth I made umpteen attempts to get to know the best way to access with a rider that it should be at least before middle of night sets in. Now Coming To Cancelling The Train Ticket. All I could lay hands was on a possibility to get a train ticket from Bengaluru (Yeshwantpur) to Hospet and that too by Karnataka Sampark Kranti only to discover later that by the hour I deboarded at Hospet and took a connecting transport to Anegundi the time I would be in would be middle of night something least desirable. So the train ticket gained through internet on April 16 was duly cancelled the next day. And I was in a state of limbo with no hint whatsoever on practical plan to reach Anegundi. The train ride not looking tempting enough to be tried and all these days spent in the National Capital Of New Delhi on the back of fewer responses with no clarity whatsoever. So I took recourse to KSRTC (Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation) bus findings and had to settle for a bus convenient enough to drop me at Hospet at 9.15 PM raising the hope that Anegundi would be truly Accessed by 10.40. Now Coming To Visiting The Famed Lord Hanuman Temple (ANJANADRI BETTA,ANJANADRI Hill). In Anegundi from visiting the famed Lord Hanuman temple which is roughly 3kms from here the trek to the said place would be truly liberating and other areas to explore could well be Talavar Gatta, Ganesh Temple and No 1 River Cross To Hampi. More so Raghavendra Swamy Mutt and SRI RANGANATH SWAMY TEMPLE could as well be on the itinerary. Now Coming To Traffic From Hospet Outer To Anegundi Which Is Thin And Not Bothersome. With traffic from Hospet Outer to Anegundi to be thin and quiet and more so sort of a breather from maddening traffic on Delhi roads I believe the journey taken on some day would be something to cherish. All I had to do was to grab the plane ticket, the price suggesting the humongous nature and despite the tall tailing tariff I was in no mood to retreat. Now Coming To Railways Need To Get Going With Early Morning Hours Trains To Hospet From Bengaluru. Sometimes I wonder when railways would run trains leaving Bengaluru early morning hours and reaching Hospet before evening sets in or better have rail tracks that go all the way to Anegundi. Tuesday was the day I chose to leave for Anegundi via Bengaluru, hoping against hope the trek would be something to recall down the decades. YEDU KONDALWADA VENKATRAMNA GOVINDA GOVINDA

Speaking To Two Gentlemen In Guruvayur In Kerala State In South India

Speaking To Two Gentlemen In Guruvayur In Kerala State In South India

Speaking to Mr Nandu of Guruvayur some days ago he revealed he was in Chavakkad near Guruvayur in Kerala. The reason for his stay in Chavakkad was Punna Ayyappa Subramanya Temple Festival which draws a good number of  devotees and festival itself is something to brood over. The revelation from Mr Nandu was he was enjoying every bit of his stay in Chavakkad as well as in Guruvayur with temperatures roughly around 33 (Degrees Celsius) with none tied to a tree. On the same day I had the fortune of speaking to Mr Krishna Kumar with the latter maintaining there were mixed tidings in and around his circuit. Mr Krishna Kumar was eager to know the timing of my visit to Guruvayur. I told him in plain detail that only Lord Guruvayur can unveil the proceedings of my visit to the sacred temple and once permission comes from his side I would be keen to visit the said place. All these months I have maintained that Guruvayur doesn't see the rush of the quantum seen in Tirumala and once the devotee joins the queue rest assured the turn to gain fleeting glimpse of Lord Guruvayur may not take more than two to three hours. I can still recall while coming from Tirumala and alighting from a train in Thrissur in Kerala Lord Govinda came to the rescue of a gentleman who while trying to deboard from a moving train lost his balance and was able to pull back in coach in no time. 

Lord Govinda and Lord Guruvayur have been guiding this world from time immemorial and would have been pained by world suffering. Suffering that is not easy to erase and suffering that touch those who are border close. Friction along border is a cause for concern and sooner tensions subside the better it would be. We are living in times when million cars are on roads and million flights take to air and carbon emissions are something to fear. How much temperatures would ascend and retain that trend no one knows and here all thoughts are on a world space that has unencumbered ace. It is a world of varied signal and there should be light after every tunnel. Light after every tunnel should be mandatory despite some washing dirty linen in public factory. 

Coaching Instititues here in India are parading angels who mushroomed under their watch. Those who secured high All India Rank are being showcased as the one who have the aptitude to scale new heights and frontiers and bring cheers.

Thoughts On Om General Store

Thoughts On Om General Store

All thoughts are on Om General Store the much functional shop that has shut down for reasons not known. Om General Store right through '80s till closing moments of 2022 whispered to get going. It could send goods and groceries any number of times a day and the owner by no means looking flustered. Why it shut and who rained blows no one knows and here prayer be this store to get back on track to cater to an audience that is vast and pious.
