Mysore to Coorg - Blend of multiple cultures and serene beauty

Come I may but go I must - How can we forget the profound longing towards abandoned world of Sir Gerald Gould, In his poem Wander Thirst. Being a Bon-voyager-duo..two of us started our four days unplanned trip to Mysore-Coorg. Here we need to mention Mysore was not in our Bucket list but the city and its blend of Islam,Gothic and Rajput culture spread an intense satisfaction of our travelling-soul. Mysore palace & the architecture, St. Philomena's Church, Tipu Sultan's Death place, Masjid, Chamundeswari Temple were some wonderful locations that we covered.Sandal Shops to emporium, artefacts to mammoth creatives are making the city full of life and a journey through a historic valley. Experiencing the vivid beauty of Hindu-Muslim Culture we took a bus to Coorg for 3 hours from Mysore.We were in extensive hurry to cover all our listed places.After a delicious lunch in home-stay near the coffee Plantation we took our ride to Abbey falls, Raja's Toms, Ankleswar Temple and Raja's Seat. Got tired with the mouth-watering coorg cuisine and home-made chocola with wine we signed off that day. Next day it was all about run & run......Tick tick tick Golden temple- the Buddhist Monestry Nisarga Dham - The Bird Sanctuary Dubbare - Elephant Camp and Rafting zone Followed by Chikli Dam and Coffee Plantation..... We ended our trip with a short visit to family in Hyderabad..... Conclusion :- Diwali without Diya and Firecrackers to gobble the urge of travelling that will be flash-bomb in the memories of pensive mood.

The fastest way to reach Sikkim is to hire a car from Bag Dogra Airport. If it seems a bit costly then one may go Siliguri Via train then Bus to Gangtok From SNT Bus Terminus. It will take near about 4 - 5 Hours. The experience of spending days in this small valley amid low hills and lakes will be a lifetime memory. Gangtok is the capital of the state. I found it one of the busiest towns. I checked-in to Nettle & Fern a cozy hill-inclined hotel to spend 2 days in Gangtok. The cafe, the shops in MG Marg the food joints will give ultimate pleasure to tourist. Though I was craving for the nectar of the nature. After spending 2 days there I was so keen to explore the nearby

Sound: The power towards infinity

It was 8pm in Melbourne, and in an opera house, Jack and Sophia, along with the ballroom full of audiences, were shattered by the piercing sound of the opera singer. Sophia went for the first time to the opera, and the terrible shrill voice of the lady perhaps reached up to 100 decibels, so that the wine glasses in the ballroom gradually turned into pieces. Well, that might be an instance, but I must tell you that the power of sound is beyond imagination. Tan Sen invited Monsoon along with Malhaar Rag. Sound is one of the primitive powers that mankind witnessed. Sound brings language, which went through evolution in the form of vocabulary, novels, and literature.
