skandagiri- trek to heaven

A beautiful christmas gift by Santa on 25th Dec,2013..ya ,its my trekking to Skandagiri ,located near chikballapur,Karnataka.Somehow a trekking group got formed where we just fit in.Its my second trekking experience after Chembra,Wayanad.
Iam connecting trekking with software projects which really goes in principles.
Break the task into granules.
Aim for a milestone which lies nearby.
Take generous help from people who passed through that way
Make a successful teamwork.
After we trekked for 3 hours ,such a splendid view which goes unexplained.I sat at the edge of cliff to view those half melted puffy clouds.
                                          Here goes the view

Its a must visit place where I saw heaven and sun very closer to me.

SITA

       Today I got some more time to think about Indian mythology and its characters,while Iam in the verge to finish the book SITA by Devdutt .He has done a good research on Ramayan to come out with this book SITA.She is still living in my eyes and Iam melted with the way how he has portrait her.Devdutt left no pages  from Kamba Ramayan to Valmiki Ramayan and those info snippets are available in each chapter,for people interested so much into its history.
         Author has given voice for all five sense creatures to Devas and Asuras.I had a feel like standing with those characters in the plot.He has tried all his best to give visual control along with his pencil sketches.He has potrait Sita as a daughter of earth,sister of trees,witty wife whose questions remain unanswered by scion of Raghu clan.As a whole Ramayan leaves a person helpless ,blaming karma which is easy to do for anyone and same for RAM.I found Ram as a person who uses his witty thoughts to reason those age old principles ,without bending it whereas,Sita is a person who cant take answers in the name of principles,which has paved way for complete story.
       

I liked this book without any expectation and it is more than my expectation,as Iam not from the background of mythology.Very beautiful read ,as I dont have the habit of judging books and authors .It created a curiosity to have a trip to Lanka to see all those historical places which stands as ruins now.In nutshell,Devdutt has done a modern art with age old paintings.
PS:Lot to know from Indian mythology

endrendrum punnagai

Yaaay....Watched all of a sudden "Endrendrum Punnagai" to come out of Monday blues.As Iam hardcore fan of  comedian "Sandhaanam" sharply hit the cinema hall by 6:30 P.M for 7 clock movie. Running comedy track is splashed all over the movie.I had the same jump ,which I had before 12 years ago while watching "lollu Sabha".Man of cute smile ,Jeeva and  tall man vinay made a good job where I saw a beautiful chemistry in the screen,though its manmade,artificial one.Cute and plain friendship between 3 friends from the standard first without a formal term sorry,thanks,please .A simple story where they used the technique of stream of consciousness in few places,which would be bit tricky to use in simple storyline .our slim sharp nosed Trisha,didn't have much to do except appearing like a moral science teacher ,who can alone tame the shrew.Her lecture about "love" is not in  reality at all,and the director wants to purposely show the blowup given for the plain four letter word given by most of the population .In person I liked hero's characterization as somewhere I found some convergence with mine.Its a one time watch amidst your office work ,At the end of the movie ,I liked me myself again after enjoying the whole movie with rolling laughter.

PS:And I give 3 stars out of 5

scribble

some faces,some shots,some scene still last long in my eyes though the plot ,people completely dissolved . We say past is gone in the air,past is no more ,whatever the say is Iam strong connected with my past as long as my memory not faded.
 Sometimes waiting for a friend in busy street brings out the stream of conciousness when looking into moving wheels.More than a throne,more than fame and name,mind wants to dissolve all addresses which I have in vacuum,to be a part of closed circle,to be an alphabet more than being a poem.

Have a little faith

Recently my reading habit is fading away,but somehow dusting it out with some strategies.Picked this lightweight book "Have a little faith" by Mitch albom.Few pages really enjoyed which has my pencil mark to reread it .What a touch man!!! Mitch has become my favourite author who says one simple story to the world in each book .Next comes Five people I met at heaven.
Here its about the importance of faith as like salt in food,author speaks about people hailed from different faith ,different status.Here author sits for writing eulogy for this Reb Albert(If I remember his name),how his weekends are filled with interviews and later the emptiness after Reb's death which is unbearble.Direct questions about sensitive topic "The faith",genuine answers without whitewash from Reb,something I loved it.
Simple words without forgetting to capture the subtle stuff here ,there and everywhere.One catchy line "Its not that easy to write about one's dad or husband in a book" ,of course that's true
Definitely one time read with good number of revisit in between,who need some more answers for having little faith.

one life is not enough

After a long long time,started with some comma in my blog.Had a feel of leaving things at right time same with my blog too,but its my thirst quenching oasis in isolated desert and Iam unable to.Becoming so greedy and this single life is not enough to quench my thirst.Had jannath trips,read light weighted book "Have little faith",done with my sem and people do ask what more in your pocket.Lot more without a solid plan.
 Blown away in wind and perfection is not even marked in my dictionary.Places,people,books,steps changing in all my way and thats how the way is........
One more life,one more way,one more dance...............

Some random lines living still in my mind during my recent trip to Wayanad,Kerala...
                                     At chembra wayanad,6000 ft height .....Sometimes Goodthings wont come in easier go...My takeaway from Chembra...

Melted with fog,showered by drizzle,dried in sun,perfumed by sweat and mud...My first trekking experience. 

2013 ends up with lot of  good stories making me more younger and prettier .
