Trek to Karnala fort.

Trek to Karnala fort.


Hi People!

It’s all a pleasure to share a beautiful & adventurous trek diary to Karnala fort last Sunday.
Western Ghats are the paradise for the trekkers.
In this Paradise, there is a there lies a scenic beauty called Karnala fort.

It was Sunday morning; so my friends and I decided to make the journey even louder and eventful,.

We started for a Road trip to Karnala from Kharghar, a place near Navi Mumbai.

The road journey began into the Western Ghats on NH17-the Mumbai Pune highway to Goa. The route was scenic with lush green vegetable surrounded by Hills. On the way, we found several group of bikers & cyclers riding along with full enthusiasm.  We were rewarded with the great climate and intense views of Sahyadris along with little refreshing showers.

People come up to Karnala to picnic, to watch birds, and to trek. We went to do all of it. The trek is of easy grade with a height of 1,440 ft.  It is a good place to trek for the beginners.

We were a group of approximate 40 people to trek along with the trek leaders. We started climbing at 9.30am from the manmade steps in the entrance leading directly to the forest. Before the trek began,
we were well instructed of not throwing litters and plastics anywhere and to carry one’s own waste with oneself.
 We were accompanied with people from different age groups. There were people at an average age of 60 years to a little 3 year old kid. This amazed us and inspired to trek passionately. There are people passionate about their hobbies even at the age of retirement and there are people who constructed & developed trekking as their child’s hobby at a very young age.

We being “photoholics” & “selfieholics” did not leave even a single chance to capture ourselves inside te distinct bounty of nature.  The walk into the forests was unfailing source of joy.

Walking through the forests, climbing up steps, climbing up stones & steep surfaces made the complete trek vulnerable and exciting.
Finally we reached on the top of the fort and forgot all the stress and tiredness. The cool breeze,
unforgettable views, the valley, mountains were all scenic and eye catching. The fort is an expanse of greenery with a huge elevated structure on the top. Finally we saw an Eagle wondering at a distant hill.
The sight was amazing.
We had food here and rested and played and enjoyed here at the top. The departure time was decided
at 1.45 pm and we had to report the trek leaders at the marker point. Going for trekking with group is
real fun guys.
We returned back to the base and had lemonade at a local stall, waved to the friends we made their,
looking once again at the fort and finally left the astounding beauty of nature and returned back to
Kharghar.
This small journey shall always cheer in the book of my beautiful memories.
Stay tuned! God bless!!..

A Poem for my sister

I see you growing everyday..

From the little fingers and nose,

You turned into a beautiful Rose.

I remember my sweet little sissy,

Fighting and shouting

And gossiping too…

Sharing all the secrets of the universe we knew..

One more special day,

Brings my love to convey,

And I want to say,

You have been the best part of my life..

You tease me, pinch me, and you are there to wipe my tears too..

I am lucky to have you.

They say you are a carbon copy to me,

I say,I could never get a companion better to be..

With all the innocence you carry,

There’s a brave girl inside you,

Who fights for her family and stands upfront,

during every calamity.

A girl I know with the diverse facets inside her,

Just like a diamond.

Your loving sister,

AKANSHA

Hand In Hand

"Laying underneath the stars,
On a warm silent night.
Your arms are wrapped around me,
And everything feels right.

You kiss me sweet and softly,
I feel your warm gentle touch,
You help me feel protected
Under the sweet night sky rush.

My world before me is perfect.
There's nowhere else I want to be,
Except laying underneath the stars
Hand in hand, you and me.

Just when everything is perfect,
And you seem so delicately sweet,
A rush of wind comes past me
As I'm swept beneath my feet.

Nothing could be more right,
There's nowhere else I want to be.
Let's take a walk my only love,
Hand in hand, you and me."

Eye To Eye

Eye to eye..

They never could see eye to eye.
She liked cake. He liked pie.
She liked chocolate. He liked vanilla.
She liked the feel of rain.
He used an umbrella.
She liked veggies. He liked meat.
She liked shoes. He liked bare feet.
She liked hot. He liked cold
she walked to the east. He turned west.
but now that they are getting old
they're starting to see eye to eye.
He tastes her cake. She tastes his pie.

PASSING BY

Passing by.

I see the trees & the monuments,

Singing the stories of the decades,

Belongs here a short tale of you & me

They sing it when I pass by thee.

The series begins with once upon a time

When loving was a crime.           

With every step do I take,

Episodes of the past awake

Then recites the sorrow and the heathenhood,

I wonder why the story of the beginnings was so good.

Same is the sunshine same is the rain,

Seasons come and go,

There's no season for memories to strike,

Like the water rushing into my wind pipe.

The cloud in my heart filled with the feelings so intense,

Sailed all high independent.

Once destined to rise into the universe,

Happens now to shower in the form of tears.

I see into the sky upright,

Like it all happened the last night

Walking an extra mile on the endless lane,

For I believe our love to be since the world began.

Into the boundless universe,

Where unsung poem of us rehearse.

Carrying myself fathom by fathom away

Searching for a guiding star, that will take me to your way.

Than a mystery to be

Was I not better, not to be?

Still an impulse that provokes the desire

Burns inside me like a wild fire.

They call me outrageous,

Affected by a disease very contagious

I die and then re die

When I remember your last good bye!

After years shall I come back,

To feel the same wind blowing,

And the same sand glint,

With some other foot prints.

And the roads will spiel to me

A story of another you & me.

BG...

That fellow on the street i see

That fellow on the street I see,

Following the day’s curriculum on one knee

Hustle & Bustle on to the busy street,

Pushing him away to flee.

Dragging himself from one leg to thee,

“Shine your shoes & shine your day” he ought to plea.

Triumph once countered by failure four times,

Yet no wave to surrender for his efforts so determined.

Sliding down the lane,

So vulnerable is he to embrace the pain.

For that gentle smile on his face,

Drives my attention to see the grace.

Though all his efforts in vain,

With no hesitation he embarks again.

With an inevitable smile on his face
And the sparkle in his eyes,

“Shine your shoes & shine your day” he cries.

You should know this...

  You should know this....

If you see me walking with someone
else,
It's not because I want to..
It's because you weren't brave
enough to walk by me.
If you see me smile, It's not because I forgot you..
It's because I got tired of crying for
you.
If you see me living again,
It's not because I've moved on..
It's because I hate the fact you can live without me.
So if I fall in love with someone
else,
It's not because I want to..
It's because you weren't there to
catch me...!!

BG..
