ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಭತ್ತದ ಗದ್ದೆಗಳು

ನಾವು ಪ್ರಯಾಣ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಅನೇಕ ಬಾರಿ ಕಿಟಕಿಯ ಬಳಿ ಸೀಟನ್ನು ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ, ಅರ್ಥ ಇಷ್ಟೇ ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯ ಸೊಬಗು ಮತ್ತು ರಮಣೀಯತೆ ಹಾಗು ಅದರ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸವಿಯಲೆಂದು, ನೋಡಿದಷ್ಟು ಮತ್ತೆ ನೋಡಬೇಕೆನ್ನುವ ಹಂಬಲ, ಬಹುಶ: ಇದೆ ಇರಬೇಕು ಎಲ್ಲರಲ್ಲೂ ವಿವಿದ ಹವ್ಯಾಸಗಳನ್ನು ಮೂಡಿಸುವುದು, ಆ ಹವ್ಯಾಸವೇ ಬಲಿತು ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ವಿಚಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಬರವಣಿಗೆ ಮೂಲಕ ನೋಡುಗರಿಗೆ, ಓದುಗರಿಗೆ ತಲುಪಿಸುವುದು, ನಿಜವೆಂದರೆ ಆ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸೆರೆಹಿಡಿಯಲು ಕ್ಯಾಮೆರಾ ಒಂದು ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ಸಾದನ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಅನೇಕ ನದಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಜನ್ಮ ನೀಡಿದ ರಾಜ್ಯ, ಹಾಗೆ ಅನೇಕ ನದಿಗಳು ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹಾದುಹೋಗುತ್ತವೆ, ಹಾದು ಹೋಗುವ ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಚ್ಚ ಹಸುರಿನ ಬೆಳೆಯನ್ನು ತಂದು ಸುತ್ತಲ ಪ್ರದೇಶವನ್ನು ಜಲಾನಯನ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಉತ್ತರದಿಂದ ಹಿಡಿದು ದಕ್ಷಿಣದವರೆಗೆ ಭತ್ತದ ಗದ್ದೆಗಳು ಕಾಣಸಿಗುತ್ತವೆ, ಇಂತಹ ಗದ್ದೆಗಳ ಸೌದರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಸೆರೆಹಿಡಿದು ನೋಡುಗರಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಚಿತ್ರ ಬರಹ ಕೊಡಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

ಬರವಣಿಗೆಯ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ನೆನಪಿಗೆ ಬಂದ " ಡೈರೆಕ್ಟರ್ ಸ್ಪೆಷಲ್ " ಚಿತ್ರದ ಒಂದು ಡೈಲಾಗ್.

ಅನ್ನ ಎಲ್ಲಿಯದೋ ಭತ್ತ ಎಲ್ಲಿಯದೋ, ಎತ್ತಲಿನ ನೀರೋ ಎತ್ತಲಿನ ಗೊಬ್ಬರವೂ, ಯಾರ್ಯಾರ ದುಡಿಮೆಯ ಫಲವೋ ಊಟ ನಮ್ಮದಾಗಲು, ಋಣವೆಂಬುದು ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಕಾಣದ ಗುಪ್ತಗಾಮಿನಿ.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಕಲ್ಪವೃಕ್ಷ ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಾಮದೇನು ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಸತ್ಯವಾದ ಮಾತು.

Dudhsagar Falls, Goa, (Near to Castle Rock Railway station)

We had Been to Dudhsagar Falls recently, we have traveled to this place by train and we have covered most of the places near by. Initially we have started from Bangalore but we were get down at Arasikere to join our team.
That was a Sunday, We do not have the regular train Chalukya which is running from Bangalore to Mumbai, one more train Sharavathi which is running only on Sunday from Mysore to Dadhar via Londa and Collem, train was running 2 Hrs late, we got the train at 11:00 AM at Arasikere and we have reached Hubli around 3:30 PM, our plan was to stay at Hubli and travel to Dudhsagar by the next day, fortunately this train was going via Londa, train reached Londa at 5:30 PM evening, we stayed at near by lodge (not so good), morning we got a train at Londa to Dudhsagar via Castle Rock "we took the return ticket too from Londa", this was our best journey on Konkan Railway, we crossed few stations on the way that is Kashanatti and Tinai Ghat, train is crossing Tunnels and the mountains of western ghats, Train was stopped at Castle Rock station for few minutes to add one more Engine at the back to pull the load in Ghats, Finally we reached Dudhsagar railway station, Dudhsagar Falls is not far from the Railway station, we have crossed Two Tunnels on the way, it was a rainy season obviously plenty of greenery around and we have seen water is drizzling from the top of the mountains and the tunnels, there are few falls where we spent the time in water falls, we took many shots on the way and of Dudhsagar Falls, as this was the Sunday we do not have much time to spend because there will be a one train which is from Mumbai and this train has a stop at Dudhsagar railway station, we packed our camera kits and bags saying good bye to the memorable journey, we came back to Hubli to catch the train for Bangalore.

Note : There are train TC from Dudhsagar station, be aware that you have return ticket to Londa or Hubli, because there is no Ticket counter at Dudhsagar station.

How to Reach Dudhsagar Falls
1. If you are traveling from Public transport you can get the train facility to reach Londa or Dudhsagar railway station, where train is the only public transport that can reach Dudhsagar station, i am pointing to Londa because you can get the facility to stay and then travel. (Remember Lodges are not so maintained properly in Londa)
2. If you have your own vehicle then you can travel to Dudhsagar via Londa - Ramanagar - castle Rock, you could park your vehicle near castle Rock station, as i mentioned above "train is the only public transport that can reach the Dudhsagar station" From here you need to wait for train to Dudhsagar Falls OR you can start trekking from castle Rock but it will be little bit far..
3. You can get the bus to Castle rock from Ramanagara which is 3 Km away from Londa, this bus running on regular schedule. First trip starts at 8:00 Am morning everyday, These buses are running from Dandeli depot of KSRTC
4. We have not experienced problems with Leeches, unless one will walk into the deep forest.
