The Stillness that you search within can be initiated with external triggers – that slow melody, that soothing breeze as you walk by nature, that moment when the sunset makes the sky as its canvas. If nothing else, just have a deep breath. When you cannot handle the mind directly, it can be handled through breath … Hope this serene sunset from Hampi, brings you the peace you are looking for :)
Seeing a place from a different vantage point always makes it stand out. Getting over the keys was one of the best ways to enjoy the view. We even got to see some marine life (sharks and rays, etc.). The different colors in the water helped appreciate & perceive how shallow some places indeed were. In addition, getting to view the ship wreck made the experience complete :)
Sakaleshpur a hill station town, in Malnad region lies on the magnificent mountains of the Western Ghats. It has a temperate climate surrounded with lofty green hills full of Coffee, Cardamom, Pepper and Areca Plantations. And hidden in this forest is the amazing fort of Manjarabad. Started in 1785 and after almost 7 years, Tipu Sultan completed this star-shaped fort as part his defense strategy. This enabled him to see British Army from Mangalore. Also, it is said to be used for storing ammonia, horses, and a secret tunnel to Srirangapatna – capital of Tipu Sultan. Though – in the present day – the busy Bangalore Mangalore N48 runs close to the fort, not many take time to stop by and enjoy this marvel. I was glad I did :)
