The two vagabonds - Travelogue

Don't consider it my personal experience,  but from all the poems i wrote, i love this most. :) क्यों हजारों गोपियों के बाद भी, है राधा को कान्हा से प्यार . ना देखने के बाबजूद, है मीरा कृष्ण पर न्योछार  अग्नि-परीक्षा के बाद भी, ना कम हुआ सीता का प्यार  बड़ी असमंजस मे हूँ मै, क्या यही है प्यार? गर यही है प्यार, तो क्या मेरा प्यार प्यार नहीं? जान दे सकती हूँ उसके लिए, इतबार है पर अँधा-विश्वास नहीं. जान ले भी सकती हूँ कभी, पर अग्नि-परीक्षा स्वीकार नहीं. क्या मै गलत हूँ, या हमेशा से दिए गए ये उदाहरण. पांच पतियों के बाद भी, हुआ द्रौपदी का चीर- हरण. चाहती हूँ उतना ही सम्मान, जो मैंने तुमको दिया  है मुझमे उतना ही अभिमान, जितना तुममे पिया  चाहती हूँ मै भी तुम्हे उतना, जितना राधा ने कृष्ण या सीता ने राम को किया. पर क्या सहना होगा मुझे भी, जो है उनने है सहा? क्या तभी मेरा प्यार अमर कहलायेगा, या सिर्फ प्यार ही रह जाएगा? या सिर्फ प्यार ही रह जाएगा?                

Hogenakkal Fall : A one day trip with 2 Israelis (Anastasya & Efrat - my husband’s colleagues)   to Hogenakkal fall 180 km from Bangalore. Where we survived a fatal accident, or met a very bad accident, I don’t know which one is better phrase. But yes, that’s true and I am still scared of driving fast .               I had my first “fried fish” here and that was truly delicious. Every place was scenic, having a panoramic beauty. 2-hours long coracle ride remains the unparalleled experience of the trip. The sailor performed some interesting stunts with the boat. First, he took the boat below the water fall and held it there till we were fully drenched, another superb stunt was rotating the boat in round and round fashion, damn scary and truly a “paisa wasul” experience.  180 degree panorama view  coracle boats at hogenakkal Bandipur/Masinagudi/Ooty : Bandipur is National forest reserve, once an abode to the bandit Veerappan.
