I was ill for the past 10 days. I was completely hopeless. I don’t know how could I come up with trekking mindset. It was Friday, I called my College Friend Samboban told him I coming to Bangalore, basically, I’m from Chennai. I started riding the bike at 5 pm, reached Bangalore at 10 pm.
Sam is staying in HSR. We had chapatti and tea, I parked my bike in his home. he booked me a cab to reach Majestic(Kempagowda). From kempagowda, I took the bus to Kukkae Subramania Temple. It’s a Trek starting point.
Oh god, my stomach not well. Going through dysentery for the past 10 days. I reached kukke Subramanya at 6 am morning, fine Saturday.
I had Tea and charged my mobile in the tea shop. I’m poor don’t have Power Bank :)
I didn’t have breakfast, I started walking towards the Trek starting point. I saw few peoples crossing by gave a warm welcome. Few questioned me. Dude, are you alone. I told them yep, I’m a Lone Ranger
People are awesome. Work Hard n Play Hard, they used to have Portable speakers, dancing, singing, enjoying their trekking adventure. I was so excited to see those folks.
I’m full of Positive Energy, reached base station buttaramane. Filled my stomach had lunch and tea.
Someone told me you should go early before 11 am and get permission to go summit from the forest department. So I hustle up and reached the forest dept, got permission by paying 350 Rs.
They told me to go faster, then you could have company. Luckily I met with 2 Amazonian SDE, got company.
They’re so energetic & kind but not snob :) guys this is hard to trek at noontime, you will be dehydrated sooner.
We have fewer water resources, but OK curiosity & love songs drives me towards the summit.
These are some folks coming back from Summit. They started so early, probably at 7 am.
God, the view is mesmerizing. Worth for Effort.
:) Finally summit. We’re so energetic to view Pushphagiri. The amazonian’s gave me cookies and snacks. After an hour, we started trekking towards the base station
I want and love to spend some time with Brother Children's, They’re staying in Koramangala. So, I didn’t stop at the base station. Continued trekking towards Kukke Subramanya.
I don’t have Food, Torch Light. Have some water and 9% battery.
Oh god. when I completed 70% of trekking, It was dark and mobile battery drained and I’m so Hungry. I don’t know what to do for half an hour, the darkness makes me weaker and my past memories killing me.
Finally. I thought differently, my mind overcome negativity, come up with Awesome Idea
Buddy, you have done for the day!!! Sleep. I slept in the hard rocks and I woke up at early morning completed trekking. I learned a superb lesson, It was about how we perceive things. So be positive and energetic, Never give up what you Love.
Had food in kukke Subramania. Took a bus, reached Bangalore. Spent time with nephew n niece. Ride back to Chennai.
Oh god, it was Hard, trekking to Kumara Parvatha 13 km up/down, but awesome experience
Life. I started living my life. we will see you in the next story, probably Trek to Kudremukh, Goa
