Small journey to the beautiful city of Gokak

The weather of Belgaum lately had been quite bad as it was raining heavily. My eyes open up to realize that it was 8:30 in the morning and that I had just missed out on my first class of the day. Then it struck to my mind " don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched" implying that I shouldn't make plans to attend class because that wouldn't happen and I happened to glance out of my window to just see the amount of downpour happening. But to my surprise the weather outside was bright and a beautiful sunny day, inspiring me for a long ride to a city nearby which I have yet to explore. At 10:15 I get off my bed. The scenario was quite funny when I think about it now, a brush in my mouth, pulling up my pants as if I were late for a meeting, grabbing stuff which I would require for my journey as though the world was about to end. Still in the hangover of my sleep, trying to make sense of what I was doing. Then realized that it was 10:40 already. Grabbed my bike keys and raced out of my room towards my bike. The journey of my day started off at 10:45 AM. Making my way through the morning traffic of the city I reached the road which connected the city of Belgaum to Gokak. As I was on my way, it started to drizzle, which made me go on a slower pace. travelling about 20 kms from Belgaum, at about 11:20, I stop at a beautiful location which was the first scenery of my journey.

As I continued my journey, I had to pass through a series of villages. Observed various fields of plantations. Asking directions for Gokak became quite interesting as I was travelling further as people would smile and tell me the road from which I should travel. To be frank didn't know if they were smiling and telling me or was it something that I had worn which stood out. Moving ahead I stopped at a point where the skies started to clear off. I was real excited to watch clear skies as I hadn't seen them for around 2 months in Belgaum. 

Just a few kms away from my destination, The eagerness started to build in me as to what I would find discover in the city of Gokak. As I entered the city areas, I was greeted with the view of the whole city.

The falls was at a distance of 9kms from the city. The roads towards the falls had beautiful curves which felt amazing to ride my bike on.

Alas I reached my destination "The Gokak Falls"

Though it might not be much, but it was a beautiful scene to me as I had the thrill of bunking a class just for my adventure.

I returned from Gokak and reached Belgaum back at 3:30 PM.

These are some of the pictures of my journey back from Gokak to Belgaum.

A little about myself

I was born in Hosur, a small town in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Belonging to a family background of doctors and Air Force men. Always dreamed of travelling around the world to explore the mysteries that are yet to be unraveled. But life hits us hard at many points, to face all of it and to chase my dreams is what I do right now. After completing my 12th in Bangalore, I realized that I needed a field in which I could travel more, use my creativity, give a sense of meaning to what I do. That was the moment I entered the field of architecture. The creativity, the ideas, the expressive ways in which we could portray what ever that we thought of in the forms of our design. But being an adventurous type, architecture has led me more into the areas of my interest to another level. Unlocking my potentials to travel and get into another field of beauty that is photography. No matter what I do, photography and travel never seize to amaze me As everyday is a new experience to live in. Now that the interest is built, the fear developed in the mind ‘what if my family does not accept the field I want to enter?’ But one fine day it struck to me that I do not have a second life to live, not which that I know of. I should live this life to make a difference not only to my life but to other lives which surround me on a daily basis. My family would be happy to know that I would be chasing my dreams and I will be happy in the way I live. Each day is an amazing gift that we have received. It is just the beginning of my journey and there be 100’s of memories that I would make. I will explore this world, make it a better place to live and to make a difference which would make others happy. no matter what the differences that we have between us by skin color, by language, by religion or even by gender, One thing I do know is that we all are united together by the language of our hearts
