A Visit to Malpe Beach




There are times when people are stressed out in life with their work and find it hard to get back to what they are doing without a nice break which will give them their energy back. If you too are stressed out and want to take a break and are staying close to Mangalore, then Malpe beach is the place that you should visit.


My visit to the Malpe beach was fun and exciting. We (my friend Flexcia and me) one day decided to meet up with our Friend Nadin who is studying in Manipal. So on a holiday we thought of going to Udupi to meet Nadin and also check out the place while we visited her.


We took a 7:00am train from Manglore Central station and reached the Udupi station by 9:00am. As Nadin was busy with her college work and would be available only after 12pm we decided that we visit the Malpe beach about which we heard so much from our friends. We got out of the station and started searching for a bus which would take us to this beach.


We walked for 5 minutes and finally found a mechanic who was very helpful and guided us to where we could catch a bus and reach our desired destination. Finally we reached the bus stop that took us to the main bus stand from where the beach is 8 km away we got on it. In 20 minutes we were there at the beach.


Once you are at the beach you have two options either stay on the beach or you can visit the beautiful St Marys Island. It will take you 15 minutes to reach the island but make sure you see your time so that you can take the ferry that comes back to the beach again. Well for me I stayed back at the Malpe beach due to time constraints.  


At the beach the tourism authorities have made cool hut like structures for the people to rest and hang around. The Coast is very clean and has been well maintained by the authorities. If you are interested in water sports you will find this in plenty here. We spent nearly 2 hours on the beach.
After that we went on to do for which we had come for to Udupi. We met our friend who we saw after a year. She cooked for us a nice meal. We had lunch and started venturing the lake near Manipal. The lake too is very beautiful and you can go on a boat ride or just seat and enjoy the beautiful evening breeze at the place. Many of the localities visit in the evening for their walks.


Finally at 4:30 we said bye to Nadin and staterted our journey back to Manglore. So if any of you are staying close to Manglore or Udupi and want to try out going to a new place then I would recommend you all to once visit Malpe beach. We had a great fun and I know you too will enjoy your trip.

Ever thought how life would be when we all grow old with wrinkled faces trying to walk with an old walking stick and only looking forward to when we will die and achieve the peace we will be craving for? But there are people who enjoy this stage of life too. A good example of this is Nazareth Niwas, a home for the elderly. Nazareth Niwas is a beautiful home for the aged. It is situated in Bondel, Manga luru. Under the management and attention of Carmelite sisters of Saint Teresa the residents are well looked after. “We have number of home for the aged, but this is a different house. This is a house where most of the residents have worked, retried and seek a comfortable place. Most of the time now the children study and they go outside for work and there they live. They cannot be with their parents because the environment is not suitable for their parents most of the children are in the Gulf, Australia, London, USA and searching the place at this age. The parents find it di...

Goa is in my Mind, Have you been there?

Goa is a place where every guy would want to visit in his lifetime as an Indian. So whenever you hear Goa, there is so much excitement and anticipation. Well, I got the exposure to it. F inally , I made a visit to Goa and stayed there for two days. Let me give you a brief insight about my experience as a new comer to Goa and the incident that has taken place within the span of time. Well to be honest, we planned Goa within 3 days after the internship, so by evening we started to call everyone to come along but never found any friends to carry with, maybe it was because of financial problems and the adjustment within that span of time. Finally just the three of us were ready to go there at the last moment.   Once everything was settle, I called up my younger brother Razo, saying am going to Goa, his first words   was “buy me a t shirt”, I laugh at him and   told him that I don’t have money. Instead told him the family financial (such a poor brother), He event...

I love listening to their stories of the people who would work hard to achieve their dreams and today to have a great story about a man who is trying hard to get what he is aiming for, Sanam G Amin.   I have not actually met him in person yet, but my first encounter with him was in the PG fest where he was asked to be the Judge for the variety event. Sanam G Amin is well establish model and an actor who has won the title Mr Mangalore in the year 2014. “Mr Mangalore was the first step that made me enter the modelling industry. I had no thought of entering an event until my friend told me that I should give it a try. So I gave it a thought and applied through online where the people were selected based on the numbers of votes which was the criteria to be in the next round. I got selected for the next round which was held at Tag hotel Mangalore from where I got selected in top 16. From there we had various events and rounds at Moodabidri Pandit Resort on 2 nd Marc...
