(UN)BRANDED

Everybody likes comfort. but do we realize this zone bores you over time.
Is this why desires are infinite?
Is this why we turn into zombies?
Is this why we feel the need for change?
(Is this why i am try to make your uncomfortable right now??)

but why do we resist this change? why do we Love to be Branded as a "particular person"?
There might be a 100 reasons for it, but one of the most common reasons is that there is always a cloud of doubt,a fear or an uncertainty about anything new we try out.

If people say you're slow, try being quick and see what happens :
If people say you're Intelligent, question it with your dumbness :
If people say you're angry, try out your patience :
If people say you're cold, show them how to love someone :
all this, not to change a perception but to find out your range.
Humans i feel, are born with a wide range of spectrum, and we don't need to publish signals only on one station :).

Start doing things that used to scare you/make you take a step behind.
when you discover you are capable to doing these things - Trust me, the satisfaction it gives is hard to match anything.
In American Beauty, Kevin spacey said "It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself."
and its a great surprise to enjoy a moment that previously would have been terrifying.

Try a dish you have hated a few years back.
Visit a place which you feel you will never go.
Talk to a person who according to you, throws attitude.
Ask a person out, who you feel will never go out with you :).

with every change, you grow, you see tangible signs towards progress and the most important thing - you have fun!
After all - Life is a Beta Version, Live,Learn,Change and Love the process.
I am definitely loving this phase of being unpredictable or to be more accurate.. UNBRANDED :)

Quarter Life Crisis

Just Love this article. Don't know who wrote this, but can definitely relate to it.

Can relate to this a little lesser than around 2 years ago.. but just a 'little' lesser :)...

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.

You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but
stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.

One-night-stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a
decision.

You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself...and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
 
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

ROOT 3

I'm not much of a poem guy but just Love this one. I Don't know why i'm such a nerd.

Its from the movie - Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed.

Mudhumalai - Nagarahole - Tholpetty

We had planned for this for about a month. There were a few things which i had in mind.
i wanted to go for a night safari and also wanted to trek in the jungle.
Google helped me find out that there are night safari's in Mudhumalai.
So our first destination was decided. we found out about all the resorts for accommodation, called them and read all the reviews. Finally we selected Bear Mountain Jungle Resort and trust me this has to be the best resort there.
Next, we knew a guy in Nagarahole and he told he'll book a home-stay for us near tholpetty.
as we were covering more than one place we decided to take friday off and leave on Thursday night.


As usual, i finished office,came home,packed my bags and went to ganesh's place by 9 PM.
Raj joined us half hour later. we knew it would be around 10 30 PM for munna to come, so we went to shop for some booze and other items.

Munna arrived from office, and off we were on our legendary trip.
Mudhumalai is around 30-40 kms from Bandipur (230 Kms from Bangalore).
The reason we leave so late in the night is to reach the sanctuary early in the morning so that there are more chances to sight wildlife.

We finished some 13 cans of beer and stopped at coffee day for dinner and coffee.
Spent some nice amount of time there. we then stopped again at a dhaba further for some more beer.
we were at bandipur by 6 15 AM and decided to go to the Safari.
I must agree that the only low point of our trip was this safari (95/- per head).
we saw nothing and we all were dozing off.
I feel Bandipur is one of the worst maintained Sanctuaries in south India. It is fully commercialized and the vegetation is pathetic (almost looks like a desert).
we finished the safari and took off to mudhumalai.
There is a check post which you have to cross (Tamilnadu) and as soon as you cross you can notice the change in vegetation. its lush green on this side of the sanctuary.
The weather was just great. very pleasant. it was cloudy but was not raining.
The drive through the mudhumalai sanctuary was awesome. saw one or two elephants here.
We then stopped at masinagudi for breakfast. at the same time we were enquiring about the night safari and the morning trek. The safari the resort offers is 1000 bucks for a jeep and outside it comes up to 600 bucks. so the choice was clear. we took his number, got the directions to the resort and left.

When we reached Bear Mountain Resort we were speechless.
Its the closest resort to the foothills of nilgiri's and the view blows your mind off.
we got the cottage (C6) with the best view. They have hammocks all over the place and you can sleep on them and watch the cloud pass by the nilgiri mountains the whole day.

we then freshened up and started playing cricket. it was amazing.
we tired ourselves, then went and relaxed on the hammock.

after sometime we played some volleyball and went to have lunch.
food was amazing. raj finished around 5 chickens and munna had some 3 kgs of rice (no wonder Americans are complaining about our rice intake).
With our stomach's full, we finally hit the bed. we slept till around 6 30 PM.
we then got up and started our drinking session. The resort has a lot of sit-out places for this.
we sat down and started with our Chivas Regal (Thanks to Ganesh). i had got playing cards.
so the whiskey, the dim light, the pleasant weather, and a game of rummy blended well together.
we had dinner at around 10 PM and set out for our night safari. The experience was great. this was something i wanted to do for a long time.
we spotted plenty of Indian Gaurs (Bison), one Elephant, and spotted deer. The safari was for around 2 hours.
we came back and crashed to bed.

Next morning, we got up late and got ready slowly, had breakfast and left the resort by 12 noon.
Nagarahole is around 120 kms from mudhumalai and it took us some time to reach there. we took a couple of breaks.
it rained on our way to nagarahole and it was awesome.
we were there by around 5 PM. i must say that nagarahole is one of my favorite places in karnataka.
its maintained really well and the forest is really dense.
anyways we spend sometime there (and decided the next time we go there, we will stay at kalhalla range guest house) and moved on
to tholpetty (Kerala, part of wayanad wildlife sanctuary).
we checked in our rooms (there were pretty good) and went to the forest officer to book for our trek for the next day.
we came back and sat for a booze session, had lunch and set out for a night safari.
here, he took us in our own car. again, the safari was simply awesome.


Next morning, we got up, bought some food and water for the trek, went to the forest officers office at 8 AM, signed a few documents and set out for the safari with an armed officer and a tribal chap.
i seriously have no words to explain this experience.
it cost us some 850 bucks for 4 people and was totally worth it.
we trekked for atleast 15 kms in the forest as we came back at 3 PM.
its one thing to pass by wildlife in a car.
but, its a completely different thing to walk by them in their territory.
we saw pugmarks,a tiger chasing a deer,sloth bear, barking deer and spotted deer and indian gaurs (bisons).
this was easily the best part of our trip.
we then came back to the room, had lunch and started our drive back home. i don't know where i felt more like home anymore.but still, we had to go back.we left at the perfect time with minimum traffic through the sanctuary and maximum possibility of wildlife sighting.
we saw elephants and at the end, we saw a couple of wild dogs(dhole). this was the first time i ever saw a wild dog. it was amazing.
we finally came back to bangalore at around 10 30 PM.

Like all of our trips, this was also planned very well and we did a total of 670 Kms in 3 days.
and like always, we had maximum fun.

we were not all that sad when we came back.
cuz we know where we are going next. so we are all happy. :)
parambikulam wildlife sanctuary.. here we come...
