"Write Tribe" the amazing write club am a part of is hosting its
first festival of words from 1-7 Sep on the theme "Seven". You could get
more details about it here....
Am choosing to write of the seven loves of my life....
A weekend getaway once in 3 months and a big bang holiday once a year is my idea to refresh the body and soul ;). But there are days, when I want to get away from the daily trudges of city life even if its just for a couple of hours....
Thus one Sunday, we went on a trip to this quiet and peaceful lake called Thattekere which is an offbeat picnic spot in Bangalore part of the Bannerghatta National Park. The lake was supposed to be a haven for bird sighting sighting but all we could see were painted storks and few other birds. But err I wasn't complaining - Imagine we were the only souls around - surrounded by pristine, literally untouched nature and a large waterbody to gaze n introspect on life!
But an hour or so later, a few forest officials came marching and chased us away - supposedly this spot requires forest permit for access! They even threatened to seize our cameras. :-P.
Though let me tell you the short time we spent there cleared away so many cobwebs from my mind :)

Must visit some time. Though I do see a lot of birds on my morning walks around the Agara Lake
ReplyDeleteLooking at that absolutely breath-taking picture, I think I need to plan a short break there soon too!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is that! And what an ending! Can almost imagine the two of you, getting chased away by the forest officials:)
