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.

Pope Francis Craved For Peace

Pope Francis Craved For Peace

Pope Francis Craved For Peace. Pope Francis led a life of gratitude, generous thoughts and noble deeds. He yearned that each quarter of world be at peace with itself and the grace emanating from the same reported innings shouldn't dwindle. He was pained to see suffering in Sub-Saharan Africa to wars being waged in different parts of world to grab each inch of land leading to distress not seen in the previous decade. 

World Having The Aptitude To Stage A Comeback

For him the world that demonstrates the easy competence to stage a comeback after every coup was a world of cohesion and steady establishment. A stable innings as Pope he believed the world inherited problems due to man in disquiet surroundings and at mercy of warlords who were unwilling to release him. The pain and suffering in Gaza to untold misery inflicted on Ukraine would have moved him to tears and he would have as Pope unfailingly tried to convince powers that be that peace be given a chance. 

The Mere Contact Made Millions Blessed

Pope Francis would be remembered for selfless service he rendered to society and who ever came in contact with him felt blessed. The support and strength from varied surroundings were backbone of his peace caravan. Pope Francis was keeping indifferent health for some time but his unflinching loyalty to truce chorus never got diluted. The script that he envisaged for a world was essentially each and every soul be given an opportunity to lead a life that brings seamless transition from self-centred matrix to selfless joy. 

Narrative Of Simplicity And Let Praise Be For Everyone

The joy in abundance he discovered when he was in attendance among unprivileged ones and those who had no access to resources all through years. The cheer and comfort that he gave to those who had an audience with him stayed for long and he raised a narrative of simplicity and humble life innings not to be corroded by adversity. Pope Francis desired that let praise be for everyone, even for those who did not wade into life trophy of tournaments and let delight and elation be the hallmark of human existence.
