Flying with the butterflies- awesome weekend


A beyond awesome weekend spent visiting Belvai and Moodbidri in Karnataka. It started with the excitement to visit the butterfly park. And it felt heavenly. Roaming in a park filled with elegant flowers and butterflies all around me really made my weekend awesome. 


 
So we (Sunny and I) started our li'l expedition at 8.00 a.m. from Mangalore. We reached Belvai after an hour and half. And within half an hour, our friend plus tour guide Wilson took us to the park. And I loved every moment of being there with the world's most beautiful creatures, variety of them.

 
 
During the presentation that followed, learnt a lot about butterflies. We were briefed about the types of species, difference between moths and butterflies, eating habits, behavioural changes, life cycle, adaptations and every thing relayed to butterflies, with pictorial examples. We got to see many of those species in the park during the short span when we were there.

 





 
Our next destination for the day was Soans Farm. The botanical garden contains a variety of plants, bamboo and pineapple cultivation. It was a learning experience to get to know about the various types of fruit and floral plants. In the short span of time we saw thousands of plants in the neatly maintained farm.




 
Next we headed to 1000 pillars temple. The Jain Temple having got its name becuse of the pillars is made up of 1000 pillars (no, I didn't count). It us a gigantic structure of great architectural and historic value. It is a really wonderful creation. The fact that each and every pillar is constructed differently mesmerized me.





 Loved every moment of today. Hoping to visit more places during the next two years I spend in Mangalore :) Karnataka is wonderful too!

Home of Hopes:Nazareth Niwas

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?

Image
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...
