Beautiful are the nights,
Around the city lights,
On the highway.
We set off for the trek when rains brought cool breeze all the way,
And it washed away all the dust of the day.
A halt at the toll plaza with no sleep,
We were an hour or two away from the base we had to visit.
Got to spot an old movie van
Among many vehicles made by the man
Surrounded from everywhere by the nature,
I realized once again the human is a small creature.
We fell asleep in the bus
Till the guide woke all of us.
Santhepete was arrived at, and we gathered at the old architecture.
While being instructed, the peacock chirped, we watched city lights at the beginning of an adventure.
Rural route and a few hours for sunrise,
We embarked on the trail where aura of cattle and trees always lies.
Carved out of boulder rocks were stairs, trails and gates with the carved design of the fish,
We looked at the huge mountains and forest so close by.
It looked fascinating under the night sky.
We reached at the top after a short hike.
Two dogs were there, it was no surprise.
We lied down on the huge mountain rock watching the skies.
Cool breeze bought cheers and it simply felt nice.
Short bonfire and some songs
Sun was ready to come up but the clouds played along.
We started descending and there was morning light.
The route was thus enlightened, so was the vibe.
Having some coconut water at the base,
I saw the village and the cattle awake
It was time to wave a goodbye to the village, to the goats, to the cows, to the buffaloes, to the water spillage.
A short nap of an hour and the bus reached another rural place
Where we had a homely breakfast with the view of beautiful blue lake and greenery.
If there would have been no trip planners, such place is hard to trace.
Witnessed silk farming and the humanity of the localite.
They welcomed us truly with an innocent smile.
Their courtesy and grace will always be valued, remembering those silkworms in whites.
Looking at the Nandini Milk Centre, there, I did realize how rural touch exists on urban life.
Going back by bus, I waved the huge mango fruit farms a good-bye.
I gathered many memories, to keep, in some hours, which slowly passed-by.
