Travel Diaries For Insatiable travel lovers- Gokarna Diary: Let the wild bird within you fly - CA Nisha Gandhi Kasat. It was one of those pleasant winter evenings when the bright sun was going down to kiss the dazzling water after hosting a vibrant party. The warm color of the setting sun transports us to enchanted world. This scenic beauty is not the “catch one,” but actively go find a place to watch one. I am talking about the small temple town Gokarna on the western coast of India situated in the lap of Arabian Sea. Cultural Melange: Beautiful beaches and Holy Streets Gokarna offers lot of possibilities for the curious souls, most popular among them are the beaches of the town. Beaching here at Kudle beach and Om beach is a zestful low key affair and not meant for full scale parties like Goa. Hidden behind the hillock, Kudle is the mesmerizing beach for the sea lovers who want to observe the vastness of the nature. One side is the infinite Arabian Sea and other side are the rocky mountains full of coconut trees. It’s kind of a private beach where you are in between the cleanest stretch of the sand. Here you can see tourists tanning on the hot stretch of sand, practicing yoga, lovers walking hand in hand, adults swimming in the clear blue seas, children building sand castles, local charming vendors energizing you with some fresh tropical fruits and vegetables. My favorite was swimming in the deep sea where in beyond the rising waves you experience the calmness of the sea. Slowly, as you sink to kiss the turquoise water, you will feel your heart unwinding, setting your soul free. The overwhelming calmness between the infinity brings the realization of the preciousness of life. After beaching entire morning, when the sun becomes little difficult to handle, quickly one can go to nearby shacks. The beaches are lined with small shack restaurants offering variety of delicious cuisine. Large number of foreigners invading the place has changed the culture of the place. The local shacks offer you world cuisine. Hopping of shacks is best for the different meals of the day. Prema’s café near city beach offers you best quality food and famous local delicacy “Gadbad”. Gokarna is also a pilgrimage for the Hindus. It has various sacred temples. In the narrow lane of the town, you can see devotees of Lord Shiva with a black wrap buzzing the chants, thus adding to the element of town’s history. A small climb over the rocks will lead you to Rama temple from where the sunset gives different meaning to life. At nightfall I found myself at rustic café Om Shree Ganesha at Om beach, trying to make sense of the different languages of people from the world over the dinner table with muffling waves. The night was soaked with food and friends, strangers smiling at each other, narrating their stories. You can hear their stories from distance or can be part of it, no matter what we choose this will become an inevitable part of our travel story. Why Gokarna If you are looking for the relaxing BEACH (Best Escape Anyone Can Have) holiday away from the tiring crowd for some time, if you are among those rare minds that long to experience something divine, you love to talk with the streets and connect with the solitude Gokarna is the place for you. The same moon shines in our city and the same stars twinkle on our terrace but it is an overwhelming feeling to experience it here lying on the sand bed on the beach, talking to the silence and realizing that life is made up of MOMENTS NOT MILESTONES !! DISHA 2017 - "Hungry Kya?"Our thoughts govern our life. Positive thoughts lead to a positive life. Feeding our body is our responsibility, and so is feeding our mind too. Disha is an MPF initiative to feed the minds of our community with motivation, inspiration and positivity. This year Team Disha jointly with Pune Jilha Yuva Samiti organized a powertalk "HUNGRY KYA?"by eminent motivational speaker Mr.Manish Gupta.It was attended by 500+ people from our community on Saturday, 18th Nov.2017 at Kalmadi High school Auditorium, Erandwane, Pune . Mr.Manish Gupta in a very easy language explained few very important concepts that would help us lead a successful and a balanced life. Few pointers explained by the speaker: It's not the fact that makes a difference but the realisation of the fact that makes a difference.Realisation makes us take an action. We all have a choice to grow, empower ourselves, become better than we are in the present. We all want everything positive around and happiness always but unconsciously we lead to negative emotions (greed, jealousy, anger, anxiety.,etc...)Rather than living in past or in future where we cannot change anything, we should take conscious efforts to be in present because only present is in our hands and where we can make a difference. We should not let the triggers in the outside world control our life and our emotions. Its only oneself who can control his / her emotions. We should become worthy enough of our existence, understand the purpose of our life and work to be a benchmark for our family, organization, society at large. We should not just be consumers but contributors in making earth a better place. We should work for the betterment and upliftment of our society. The serious concepts were made easy to understand with simple examples from day to day life in very hilarious way. Throughout the talk, there were many outbursts of laughter. It was the first time when the next generation of MPF was promoted. The 10 yr old kids Ishaan Jajoo and Diti Chandak as MoC conducted the event very confidently and efficiently.
