Trip to Agara Lake

Its Sunday, October 7th. Not much bootcamp homework for the weekend. It had been quite long since I had gone anywhere in Bangalore. Its with the procrastination and you end up missing out things you love.

Traveling to Agara lake today was one such moment for me.

Refreshing | Serine | Calm

Its about 14 Km from my home and took me about 45 min to reach there. I reached at about 6 PM with Sahu. This is one of the most well maintained lakes in Bangalore. Its shore length is about 2.5 Km. One round and I am done. It had gymnasium equipments for fitness which were being fully utilized by people. I grabbed American sweet corn and started the stroll. Discussing our lives, new advancements, new news.

It was so serine. After completing about half a round, we decided to sit near the lake and enjoy the view. With Prateek Kuhad and soundcloud playlists in the speakers, we started having good philosophical discussions. It was so amazing. Being one self. Such retreats are necessary. I was feeling so happy. Thats when I realized that I have to take time out of my busy life. Life will always be busy but you have to take out time for these natural beauties. The ripples in the water, the cold breeze, the reflection of buildings in the lake, the trees and tall grasses. All this was amazing and reminded me of Udaipur.

Happy souls

One of the great playlists on soundcloud is this. This was playing all the way in the speakers.

There came a point when the irony struck me hard. On one side was the busy road where people are rushing. With things and tensions running inside their heads. On the other side was this lake with happy souls like us. Contempt, refreshed and satisfied.

The day ended with proper north indian restaurant at a punjabi place called chullah chandigarh. Malai Kofta, Mushroom Masala, Chach!
