Hesaraghatta Grasslands

         When you know your brain is not responding to the daily life requests,your mind is wandering in and out of every unwanted topic,that's when you need to know that it's time to let your soul take you where it really wants to go. Hesaraghatta Lake and the grasslands was on my mind as the next short ride plan.
       Texted my frens in the morning,luckily all of them were jobless on a sunday afternoon.So we met up near Cubbon park and head to the new yelahanka town route,which was somewhat familiar path I new.When we reached the new town,then on we had absolutely no idea,so we took the help of the navigator to head to the lake.Even though it was it's just 30kms,the route was taking us through number of small villages.The smell of the land was changing now and then,some of the roads were so beautiful wanted to stop and take pics,but because my frens were riding bullets there was a limit for them too,to keep up with the slow paced Activa,so I just decided to absorb the scenery and the smells around me. :)
       Finally when we reached the lake,expected at least a little bit of water,but it was just barren land.We didn't venture out on the side tracks of the lake.

Hesaraghatta Lake

I was more eager to see the Hesaraghatta grasslands,it had captured my imagination from the time I had seen it on the net.I guess it's around 2kms from the lake,after the Adrash film and TV institute,take the first right which is a mud road,deep red soil of that land is a beauty in itself.Lots of stones on the road but my Activa survived it :)

Even though there was no shade the sun was not harsh on us at all,winter evening sunshine :) I had never seen such a open land before,that to so close to Bangalore.Felt so playful being there,so light :) :D 

Enjoyed taking a lot of pics of our bikes.

A relaxed evening. Joblessly taking every angle of our bikes trying to give all the possible effects,like shaking the trees to have the leaves falling effect :D Unfortunately the trees and their leaves were not as delicate as the boys thought it would be :D

 Lovely Evening,mind felt so fresh :) heading back to Bangalore was fun,took a better route,reached Jalahalli,mathikere and from there one straight road to mekhri circle. Spending time at places away from the hustle and bustle of the city always feels nice,brings back so much positive energy in you :)  Good bye 2012,this year has been so memorable in so many ways :) Loving the simplicity of living life :) All you need is to fill up your bike's tummy and head out to a destination in mind. :)
