This hill is located some 50 kms from Bangalore,India.We have driven by this many a time as it is not far from the National Highway.Reached the base of the hill( late as usual).The locals we talked to were not really encouraging and asked us why we want to visit that place.Someone told us that a girl had committed suicide there and advised us not to go there.We ignored all that and parked the car near the foot of the hill.There was no road as such and the car had to be parked on an incline with rocks under the tires to stop it from rolling.We started trekking up at about 2:30 PM.The trail had big grass,thorny bushes and cactus growing all over it.The terrain was completely different from the surroundings.It had a weird vibe to it.I felt like someone was looking at us.We did not find one living thing around.While walking, there were multiple times we had to stop as we heard footsteps.We were asked to follow the electric line as there was no trail to follow.The electric line stopped half a km later leaving us with nothing but instinct to follow.Where the electric line ended ,we found a dark cave with an idol inside. I have taken pics and videos of the same,which I will share later.We continued trekking up.The weather was hot everywhere else except the hill we were on.The thorns cut into our legs and it was tough trying to get through them.We did not have a machete or anything similar to cut through the thorny vegetation. We used broken branches as sticks which to maneuver through the vegetation. The ares was famous for snakes ..especially poisonous ones like King Cobras and we were weary of it while taking each step.I had a side strain,but the adrenaline kept us going.We took short breaks as the uphill climb was tough.We further climbed to this edge where there were no boulders on the side to protect us from falling.It was a risky climb as a wrong step would cause you to tumble 500 feet down .Near the apex of the hill,we reached this stretch where there was long grass.The grass was burnt in distinct patches like a formation and there were foot marks of a man or an animal all around .We also found multiple sections of barbed wire looped resembling some kind of a snare or trap.Something was happening there for sure! My friend was getting worried as there was an eerie vibe to the place even though we could see the highway from the top.There had to be some reason because of which the residents of this town did not venture up the hill .We looked up and saw the ruins of a spooky building at the very top of the hill.It was almost 5 PM and the sun was setting which made it spookier.Even though I really wanted to make that final push to the summit (which was a good half an hr trek up)to see what awaited us atop the haunted hill,my friend was really worried as we were alone and talked sense into me and we started trekking down.In the video link I have given above..you can see the terrain.The silence,look and feel was akin to that in 'The Hills have eyes'.I constantly felt something paranormal around me.And lots of negative energy too.Something was there looking at us all the while were there.In the last shot in the video above you can see something dark at the top of the hill which resembles a person.That is the ruins of the structure I was talking about.Will post more videos and pics of this hill.I will be going back to explore this hill further.

Exploring an abandoned haunted hill in India
This hill is located some 50 kms from Bangalore,India.We have driven by this many a time as it is not far from the National Highway.Reached the base of the hill( late as usual).The locals we talked to were not really encouraging and asked us why we want to visit that place.Someone told us that a girl had committed suicide there and advised us not to go there.We ignored all that and parked the car near the foot of the hill.There was no road as such and the car had to be parked on an incline with rocks under the tires to stop it from rolling.We started trekking up at about 2:30 PM.The trail had big grass,thorny bushes and cactus growing all over it.The terrain was completely different from the surroundings.It had a weird vibe to it.I felt like someone was looking at us.We did not find one living thing around.While walking, there were multiple times we had to stop as we heard footsteps.We were asked to follow the electric line as there was no trail to follow.The electric line stopped half a km later leaving us with nothing but instinct to follow.Where the electric line ended ,we found a dark cave with an idol inside.

Transcendental meditation
This is a short story I wrote :)
I was piling on kilos by the hour.My buddy VJ had joined the yoga class in office. He told me that he lost 4 kilos in 2 months! I felt a CFL glowing in my head. I logged in to myntra.com and instantly ordered 3 pairs of yoga pants and t-shirts.
The very next day, I reached the yoga class much ahead of time.You need time to warm up eh?
My eyes popped and jaw dropped when I saw 5-6 cute girls waiting in line for the class. Voila. My body reacted automatically by bulging my chest out and pulling in my tummy.
The class started. The yoga teacher gave instructions in a singing voice. I said a silent prayer and started. This looked easy! But soon I started sweating oceans and was out of breath in 5 minutes! The instructor showed no mercy and kept piling on Surya Namaskars afer Surya Namaskars. I could sense my soul getting ready to escape my body any second now.
Idea! I ran outside taking my phone pretending to take a call. After catching my breath, I returned in 5 minutes. More punishment awaited me in way of Asanas. I now moved like a drunk with my limbs no longer under my control. Then, suddenly the instructor asked everyone to lie down and relax. I crumble down,closed my eyes and listened to instructions. I could feel the relaxation and felt that my soul was floating outside my body. Yoga is awesome ! I was in heaven. Hallelujah! Somewhere in my meditative state , I lost track of time. Suddenly I was hearing voices. This must be level 2 or something.I must be a grand master! I could again hear someone calling me .I ignored it .Then I heard the instructor's voice - “Get up. You are not supposed to sleep and snore during relaxation". I slowly opened my eyes.Shit just got real! The cute girls were laughing at me now.
I hoped that this was a parallel dimension that I was in and no longer had the will to live.I only wished for a shovel to dig a hole and bury myself in shame.

Memory Low !
So coming back, people, especially friends get pissed with me for forgetting b'days /anniversaries . It is not that I don't love or care about them ,but its something I can't help.I am done trying to explain to people that I don't need an excuse to tell you how much I love you or how special you are to me. And personally I don't give much importance to any one day of the year ,be it my birthday or some other day ! It's just a day just like every other . I wake up every single day feeling lucky and thinking that this is the best day of my life. But I am sorry to anyone who was hurt by my perceived lack of interest. I am sorry if I hurt you ,whether you like it or not .
Now to 'postiver ' things... Last week ,I got a watch for Dad ,which cost 20 times the price of mine. I wouldn't have been this happy if I bought it for myself :) . Its such nice feeling to try to give back to people who did so much for you.It reminds me of the sacrifices my parents made throughout my life to make me happy, sometimes even without telling me . It makes me respect them more .
My Dad's Uncle was very close to our family even though he stayed pretty far. He passed away when I was a kid. But I still have memories of him coming home with my favorite cream biscuit :) .He bought this big family pack :) .And he never forgot to get me that.His son is no different. He worked abroad when I was young.And this one time he got me a Boy London ,color changing(depending on the temperature) watch.I was chatting with him online last week .I thanked him outta the blue for all those sweet child hood memories and told him that I use the same strategy with my nephew :) .

Ride through a rainy dark night
Its fun driving an SUV in the rain at midnight ,dropping friends home
after dinner . Driving back through the empty roads with the FM playing
some nice track made me realize how much at peace I am with myself. Won't update all this in FB.Most people there & elsewhere don't know
me and may never will.Thats kool !
Something stuck to my mind when I returned home .
No matters what happens,no matter what all gets taken away from me,no matter how much I am humbled,no matter what all I have to go through....Ain't no one gonna wipe this smile off my face :)
