Coast to Coast: Day 7

Unbelievably, the trip was to come to an end tonight. The very thought brought in mixed emotions. Aastha and I were determined to witness the last east coast sunrise (I was sure the next sunrise I see will not be in Bangalore). Google helped us with the time, and we were at the Gandhi beach at 6:00am. Pondicherry and the people felt way friendlier. I could see countless health freaks run, walk, jog along the beach. We also had another great mind like ours, present at the venue to click the sunrise. However, we did not bother to reciprocate to his smile and hello gesture! 
We accomplished mission 'Capture Sunrise' by 7:00am and felt rather enthusiastic. The thought of returning to the guest house vanished and we chose to explore the streets of Pondicherry all by ourselves.  It was going to be a Girls Day Out! The twist that no restaurants would open before 8:00am added to our misery.We crossed streets right, left and center to reach a venue for a healthy breakfast.We sat cross…

In the service of the Goddess of Tuljapur

May 2013, Tuljapur

 This place will never change. It has been the same for ten years now- I explained Charolette.

Charollete was a fellow intern at Deshpande Foundation in Hubli along with us- a bunch of enthusiastic folks who wanted to make a difference. She had decided to embark on an unplanned journey to Tuljapur to attend my brother's thread ceremony. Both of us took the early morning bus to Bijapur as we kicked off the weekend. The bus danced to the beats of the loud music as much as the blinking lighting in hues of sunset. The bus reminded me of a bride- decked up with accessories on the glass and along the windows, lights to show off the new varnish that a single pair of eyes would not miss on the road. The next four hours was seemingly not tedious as we managed to catch a nap till we touched down Bijapur. Within few minutes, we crashed in my sisters' hostel room for a quick refresh.

It is a big deal when you have a white friend who is not Indian and a bigger deal whe…

Coast to Coast: Day 4

I realized how strongly togetherness could beat the thought of any apprehension at such times...!


Aastha was up early, all set to visit the temple. We dressed to fulfill the temple traditions (including Dhruv and Mihir) as per our research on Google and advice from near and dear. The walk to temple was little less than 2mins but what surprised us was the queue that reminded me of the Pied Piper of Hamelin! Aastha and I chose to step in first, make way and share our path to success with the guys who were hand holding the caught camera. It was a Monday, I closed my eyes to visualize the linga in Somnath to offer prayers from a stainless steel railing 600m away. Looks like the guys followed the same strategy and came out in no time.
After a breakfast in the most locale place possible, we changed to fight the sun and sand in Dhanushkodi. It was a day of experiencing 'means of transport'. We got into a 4 seater rick to take us to Dhanushkodi after a heavy bargain. The next in line …
