We have come across many people who are so clam in every situation and that most definitely includes my spouse; and it doesn't stop me from pondering over this calmness. How do they do it? They barely lose their cool, but on the other hand so many of them lose it before anything starts.
Given any situation, they have a calm exterior. The expressions never change, but the mind works furiously. I was reading an article and this is what it said,
"Calm people are like ducks - they are calm on the surface, but they are furiously paddling beneath the surface of the water!"
A statement that made complete sense. Now that's some food for thought!

Himmada Gopalaswamy Betta - this is one of the finest places to visit. On the top sits Lord Krishna, where devotees throng to visit.
After parking the car, one has to line up to get on a bus that will take us up the hills. And boy, that is one drive of a good lifetime. Winding curves, beautiful scenery gets etched in our minds. Once we get on the top, the hill is covered by mist. Himma means Mist in Kannada.
The lord looks so majestic in all his glory, that the effort is worth every bit.
Bandipur - Have been wanting to go for a while and it finally happened a few days back. Bandipur safari was something that I have been waiting to do. So off we went to this place.
Reached by 8:15 A.M. Rushed to get our Safari tickets and got into the bus. As we were the last passengers, the bus started. As we went, we spotted loads of Deer. As we went further, we saw a few pea hens. Not to miss the Mongoose. And, then we spotted a beautiful peacock with its feather open completely. It was a sight so beautiful, that I managed a far shot.
We went for an hour almost, but we couldn't spot a Tiger or an Elephant in the wild. But still worth a visit, just for the flora and fauna!
I wanted to watch Game Of Thrones - Season 8 together. But, it so happened that everyone around me started spoiling it. Hence, I got on to start the finale of GOT.
Till now there are five episodes aired and I finally caught up with them. I can proudly say I am up-to date.
So all you GOT fans, go catch up. There is one last episode to complete this mega epic series.
I do want to start reading the whole series of books once I watch the last episode!
Today I happened to take metro to save time and avoid traffic. I usually take 1 hour to 1.5 hours to reach North Bangalore. But today I decided to board the Metro. Must I say, the ride was simply superb. It took me about 22 mins to reach my destination. My joy knew no bounds.
Metro in Namma Bengaluru has made life a lot more easier for Bangaloreans. To beat this insane traffic, the metro is the best respite.
I intend to take the metro and totally enjoy this joyous ride to beat this deadly traffic.
This is my Second Kannada movie this year - BELL BOTTOM. A very interesting title. I pulled a friend with limited Kannada language knowledge to watch this movie with me. This is a thriller movie and I absolutely love thrillers.

For all thriller movie lovers, this is a great watch!
For the longest time I penned only poems. But a few years back, I ventured into prose. But it wasn't up to the mark. Three years back I joined a writer's meet and from then on there has no been turning back on prose.
Today, when I look back and I am asked to choose between Prose Vs Poetry, I would never be able to do that. My love for prose and poetry is unbiased. I cannot choose ever. As much as I enjoy penning poems, I love spinning stories on paper. All the characters in my head come together on paper and the amalgamation is unfathomable. That's the power of writing.
I will continue writing poems and prose and will let my words do the talking!
Oh yes I had to watch this movie - Avengers End Game. The movie of the year. Along with the movie I had the pleasure of experiencing IMAX for the first time too. And must I say, I was in awe of this experience , well it is an understatement. I was thrilled beyond words - Avengers End Game + IMAX experience + 3D - It was the perfect amalgamation.
End Game is an amalgamation of all the 21 Marvel Studios movie and what a fine job in bringing together all the characters in this final end game.
Captain America, Thor, Antman, Hulk, Iron Man, Black Panther, Spider man and what not. All of them versus Thanos and how it all fits together in the end.
Recommendation: Very High
Rating: 5/5
One brilliant movie to watch!
