Parvathamalai

I woke up at 4:30 AM. Got ready and left the guest house at around 5 AM. At the main road, I boarded a bus and got off at Tiruvannamalai bus station. I enquired with the people around on a bus to Parvathamalai. They directed me to the exit of the bus station. There was a private bus waiting to be filled.

Sri Lakshmi Adinarayana Swami Temple, Yellodu

Our first trek for the day to Gudibande fort had filled us with energy and enthusiasm. We took some interior unpaved roads suggested by Google maps to our next destination - Lakshmi Adinarayana swami temple, Yellodu. The road passed through vineyards and was an interesting drive.

Gadaikallu aka Jamalabad Fort Trek

I had trekked Gadaikallu back in 2010. But, I had completely forgotten about the experience. So, I planned to trek to Gadaikallu again along with my friends Naresh and Deekshit. On thursday, the 9th of December, I picked up Deekshit from Surathkal bus station and drove to Naresh’s house. His mother had invited us over for lunch. We had a heavy and delicious meal at their place. While Naresh finished his meeting, we had a good chat with his parents.

Kumbakonam Navagraha Temples | Thanjavur | Darasuram

My wife had been wanting to go to Kumbakonam and visit the temples dedicated to the 9 planets worshipped in the Hindu tradition. I invited my mother to join us. To a non-believer like me, this was going to be an overdose of temples. It surprises me that people believe in these concepts so religiously despite knowing very well that 4 among these 9 are not even planets. The Sun is a star, The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth. Rahu and Kethu are not even a physical object. They are in fact the ascending and descending node of the moon that causes eclipse. Our ancestors were definetly not fools. They were very intelligent people. Lot of their findings have been further developed and helped the later generations to discover the secrets of the universe. However, they were also wrong about many things. Likewise, we might be wrong about many things today and only the future can reveal that. Anyways, I shall allow the believers...

Bananthimari Betta Trek

Bananthimari betta aka Maribetta aka Karadibetta is one of the less explored hills in the vicinity of Bangalore. I had always wanted to trek here but found very less reliable information on the place. A week ago, when my colleague Sharath and I were planning on a trek during the long weekend, this was an obvious choice. As the day of trek approached (3rd September), we were joined by 10 other people.
