THE PLACE WHERE I HAD MISSED THE TRAIN IN WESTERN GHATS!!!!!!!It was 13 th November,morning 7:40 that our morning train to Mangalore started.My neighbours ,an uncle n aunt (who were supposed to attend their son Sagar's convocation ) boarded the train in Tumkur.Then near Arasikere ,i got down n took some pics in the station.As we passed Sakalashpura,the Ghat section started and it was an amazing view.The lush greenery everywhere mesmerized me.The train started going at the speed of 20 or 30 Km as we were going the acclivity.As we went a little up,we could see the small streams running with water so pure and milky white.In front of nature's beauty and grandeur, man is such an insignificant thing!!But still he is conceited to think he can tame and control the nature...
The colossal mountains stood so tall that they almost seemed to touch the sky...In some places the mountains are carved and tunnels are made for the passage of the train..Hmm...a splendid ,unprecedented experience for me...All small kids enthusiastically started shouting as soon as the train went under a tunnel in the dark.We came across more than 45 such tunnels...and each tunnel was a length of 500 m in an average...
The train used to temporarily stop in some places and again start ,dono the reason though.In one such place ,wen many ppl started getting ,I also got down to take some pics.As i was stil taking the photos,the train suddenly started....Then Ppl started getting into the train.I managed to giv my camera to some guy but couldn't get into the moving train .... A horrifying experience,especially since it was not a station and moreover Western Ghats without anyone around!!!Then i started shouting asking ppl to pull the chain and started running behind the moving train...Luckily ,a guard who was in the last bogie showing a green flag saw me !!By den my dad had pulled the chain and finally the train came to a halt!!! Uff i was saved!!!! As i got into the train ,ppl started shouting aloud seeing me ,gossiping ...wat not...Many aunts stated giving gyan also on how girls should behave and not do such things .The train stopped for more than half an hour after i got into train coz we had pulled the train's chain and they had to fill the gas.......
Then on i jus sat in my place and dint get down the train :P .After reaching Subramanya,the ghat section ended and then the train picked up its usual speed and we reached Mangalore around 6:30 ...Half an hour late courtesy me :P........Then we reached the IB where we stayed and had dinner and slept...
On 14th,got up early and went to Katilu Temple,Penambur Beach,Mangaladevi Temple,Sri Gokarna Natheshwara Temple,Kadri Temple .In Penambur Beach,a song shoot for the movie "Vichithra Premi "was happening and got to see the cute actress dancing on the orange jeep and a very weird looking hero(very disappointing) . Had lunch in the same hotel and took some rest and headed off to Summer sand Beach in the evening.It started drizzlling in the evening near the beach and the billowing nature of the sea stopped us from getting into the beach.We jus sat there in the shore spent some time and went to Sri Gokarna Natheshwara Temple again to see the lighting in the evening. There was musical fountain and it was a very refreshing experience.
On 15 th morning,went to Udupi Srikrishna Temple and from there to Malpe Beach and waited til 10 for the Ferry to St.Mary's Island.It took half an hour to reach that island.The Island was very new experience for us and enjoyed a lot .But it is more fun to go with friends....Met tat aunt and uncle ,my neighbours in the train in St.Mary's Island but this time with their son...Then went back to Mangalore and took the train to bangalore at around 8 and reached blore around 8 in the morning and had to rush to office...
