Bheemeswari with Donu





Debojit came to Bangalore on 8th March 2008. Since he had other works we both could take out a day and one night time only. I decided to revisit Bheemeshwari. So I packed my tent, sleeping bag, food in my avenger and hit for Bheemeshwari. We bought chicken and beer in Mutati for our supper requirements. Me and debojit choosed a quite spot somewhere near the Bheemeshwari Elephant camp. The water in Cauvery was chilled and filled with fishes. We enjoyed watching some fishing activities by the locals. By evening we got our woods for the night camp fire. The sun was set and the sky was damm clear with thousands and thousands of stars.

The real experience of getting away from city life and staying in places far far away from human civilization sometimes really help us to know what we miss in actual life. The nature unfolds its beauty the more one gets close to it. The more one see it, the more he/she gets in love with it.

In the night time the river was calm. We were able to hear deers barking some far place inside the jungle. Sometimes a fish jumped out of the river to make thud sound. It was all dead calm with me and Debojit enjoying our beers near the fire. The moon was high in the sky to make a good reflection of the mountains in the river on the other side of calm Cauvery bank. The stars were all glittering brilliantly up high in the sky as well as in their reflections. In the dark it was really hard to separate the two world (one real and one virtual). We both were without any words for some 40minutes. The view was totally beyond what we could have wished for. Then we realized that it was late. We had barbequed chicken. Little bit of maggi. Before going to sleep we thought of keeping extra woods in stock to keep the fire alive. In that area it is must to have fire so as to get some protection from wild elephants. We walked some distance to get a good huge piece of log. While coming back it appeared as if we were walking miles and miles to reach back to camp. The more we walked the farther the tent appeared. Thats what OH session is all about :). Next morning when we woke up it was all disaster. My rear wheel was flat. And in that situation it made me felt how much human civilization we were in need for. We got hold of some really good guys who were also camping there. We got one bike to get mechanic from Halagur. We got the wheel fixed by 1 in the noon. One more great weekend to add in my list.
