The QU | Good Evening..

Bhat Sir: Hey Prashant..i going to dairy, are you coming..

Aaa, ok; wait a second. I will come..


Its alomost 1KM from bhat sir home, every day he use to go for dairy and have fun at there for almost hour. It was the daily routine for most of the people;..they use to come there for one or the other reason and have fun and go home with a laugh. Everybody use to enjoy the funchat..

I had no work, since was not aware from where and what to start. I was just roaming here and there like a back paper student. Even though I felt some time bored, I njoyed beauty of nature and life most of time..

Bhat sir was processing the milk and I was just looking at the face all around and introducing myself …

Suddenly I heard the sound of volley ball.

I am fan; I never played as much as I liked it. But I never missed the match; tournaments near my village or on TV. As rest of the world followed cricket and other games. I use to follow volley ball; you may think I am silly.

I took a time frame from but sir, I went near to the playground.

They were six; three in each court.
And they were having fun..

I sat outside the court on school cement frame. And watching the way they play the game.
After some time I was getting angry bcoz they were not at all showing respect to each other

or to the game..

I walked out ..caught ball and said.

You all are not kid. Play like a Champion..
The way you people are playing, I can beat being alone…


I was not introduced myself and I setup wrong platform..
And situation was getting tough for me..

One guy glared at me and took the ball out my hand,

I made eye contact purposefully..

One person came towards me and said..i bet you ..
If you take one point, I will give 10 Manichchand… everyone laughed
( it was beautiful slang..)

I don’t know, where it was..The Spirit..
I took the ball from them and left to the other court..

Started tapping on the ball…

And Said.

Let's Start…

The QU | Sun Rise …

It’s been week, I am here..really speaking I got bored . Simply because I don’t find anything to do.
Other than answering to every one, why I am here…

You know, I am not able convince even one person, kid..!! That I am here do some project…
Every one doubts., and questions will come like bullets in battle ground
Whenever I am stuck, bhat sir will help me to come out..

One thing I should say that every day I use meet one or the other person, Involve in their routines
Travel with them to their plantations, hills..forest..
Listen to their sons and daughters stories..their struggle to make them what there and
Their pride towards son/daughter . . .

Some are funny, really interesting but some are very boring..
I can’t help much on myself for all these , but all these talks helped me to understand the expectations,
their hopes,
and life..

I use to go for jogging every morning for almost 2km, where I found the banyan tree..i found that place is very beautiful…

a small river nearby..
thick forest…
morning wave…
sun rise…
singing birds…
all that made that place like a heaven ….
I have canon cam, I always looking some pics..i njoyed it clicking all around…

One day I was sitting near banyan tree and reading about Dhirubayisim book..and I saw someone is approaching towards me. .
He stud in front of banyan tree, far away from me.
I said Hi.. with big smile..

He smiled back without moving his feet..
I stepped forward..

Suddenly he started…

You are Prashant right..?

Ya…,your name…?

Ravi..

Nice to meet you..

Thanks…

Do you come every day for jog..

Ya, actually last week there was tournament and I ran for fun but accidently I got medal. So my teacher pushing to prepare for next level. So I started to come every day..

What do you run…

Last time I ran for 100mt, 400mt, 1500mt and…even 800mt also..

Ok, that’s great..

I got medal in 1500mt and 100mt,

Are you coming back…

Oh, ya..Do you mind If I click some more photos and then we move ..

No issues..

After failed attempt of clicking flying bird we started moving back..

At what time you start.., I start by 5.30 – 6.00 and will spend some time here and go back..

I also start almost same time, but you stay in bhat sir house right…, from that place my home is almost 500mts ..tomorrow I will come to your place 5.30 ok…

Ok, that sounds good..

You know, my sister … Rashmi...

No..

She is politician…

Oh, yes bhat sir said that you have to meet her, she will help you in case you need any help politically..

Ya..but she is not there today. You can come tomorrow…I will inform her.

Ok..thats fine..bye…see you tomorrow morning..

TheQU | Kallahalli

I just got down from the bus, I saw bhat sir waving hand …we exchanged smile..

Oh, pleasant..feeling like got down in heaven…

Don’t afraid to sit on my old splendor....


Oh, not at all…here we go..

While splendor was moving around the city and entered the rural roads..

i have started feeling breeze …


Morning waves . . . fogy forest . . . singing birds . . . Sleepy green forest…
Rising sun . . . Calm atmosphere. . .

Sir……sir…. Can please stop for while…


Nature call …!?


Yep . . . , I just want see the river…

Oh, Ok…. Go and have face washed…It will be very cold careful …


Ya..


I just stood infront of the river for a while, and touched the water..
Oh, it is amazing feeling…
Very few will feel it…
Had face wash and drunk some water. A smell of stone and running forest water made me feel fresh.. , damn freshh..


Hey, come on we need go . . I am hungry can’t wait any more..
Will have good dosa’s ....come faaa..st. . .i wish, will have something different today …


Ok..am back in sec….


After almost 30min of drive we entered the village Kalla Halli..
A small board to WelCome, I think by gram panchayata…
We passed the school and Aralli Katte..


Do you remember all these prashant..?


Ya…lots of changes, but still, I was here for almost 4 years..
I love this place, as I was..


Good here you..

I was just going through the past memories…and I was interrupted by breaks..
And bike stopped.

Came its already late…
Geetha, see how has come..(bhat sir wife..)
She welcomed me with smile and asked me about the journey so far…

I can see kids running around and preparing their school bags…
Dosaaa….., I think I need to get ready soon to have delicious dosaaa….

Yep.. shop will be closed soon…haaaa……

The Question Unanswered!?

My friend prashant called me to meet at park. I went around 6.30 and I saw him sitting on bench on the corner. Normally we meet every week or two. We discuss whole lot of things; From Politics to future of the nation or the city.

He is one of my best friends.

Today he seems to be sad. I am not sure what happened to him. Normally I was the one who will always be worried about one or the other. We use to discuss to get the answer for that.

Me: Hi prashant, what’s up !
Prashant: N...othing.
Me : Are you ok..?
Prashant : yaaa…f..in..ee

Me : hey what happened man..? Tell me.. Its Ok..
Prashant : Nothing man. I stuck in one silly question.

Me : you stuck in silly question..? What do you mean..

There was a silent for min…

Prashant : You know my native right.
Me : ya, I have been there for 2 times..don’t you remember..?

Prashant: Ya, I do, but that’s not the matter.
What did you feel about my native..?
Me : it is awesome place to live man.
Do you remember we had spent whole night in the forest?
What we given the name for that..?

“Feel the Touch..” ..ya...

Oh! It was awesome day man. In the morning I was almost dead , when the cold wave started and we didn’t had enough things to cover. Do you remember all that?
oh..!

I was almost there with wind and fighting with coldness and chill which it has created. But my friend was like a statue; not even shook his head once.

I just tapped him, and questioned ..
Whaaaaaat happened ….? Why you are like this..?

Prashant : your thrilled about my native, but I am sad about it.

You know when I was child; I have seen lot of forest around my home. If I compare now, only 25% is left out. If you visit now; you feel the deference.

It’s gone man..

We fight each other on protecting forest, rain water harvesting, and Sahara forest project

Man.. just in front of my eyes, I am seeing things are going opposite to my beliefs.
I am helpless ……..and I can’t believe..!

Me :
I know he’s in big discussion and stuck. And it is true that the things are happening..

Hey, what Mr. Prashant is thinking about than..?
Is he going to do some sort of green revolution..! lol

He looked at me with burning eyes. I stopped laughing.
Prashant : I am not worried about the forest..We are there to protect (with smile)
But I am worried about the mindset of the people..

Life........... without the vision and letter without address …
Yap..
Me :
He was going serious about something. I was wondering where he will reach..

Prashant : do you remember you asked me a question long back..
a…a..nd..you said that what…?


“The Question Unanswered”

Ya..

I am in the same topic,
Me : what made you to stuck..man
Prashant : Unanswered ….

When your mother is ill and on bed, do you go for movie..?
Do you think about doing engineering..? or you think about your mother..

When whole village is flooded; do you think of shopping, MG ROAD.. cricket..Girlfriend ..?

Me : I got it, where you are. The Question “ Unanswered “
I explained you lot many times why named it like that.
Bocz, it can’t be answered as we expect.

Things are changing, people are.. in this movement we missed THE BASIC THING.

Prashant :..yaa.. man..

Man..

We don’t have clean water to drink..

Good air to breathe

A peaceful place sit

We don’t know what we will eat after 10 years.

Man.. still we are happppppily living..****
going for job, geting lacs..
weekends..
party..
tracking...

oh..!

Me : Really man..we are not bother about anything…anything..

We just live bcoz, we have born and breathe.

Same question

When your village is flooded, which one will you choose?

Live or help



I really don’t know why people are so bad about their own future.
Why they think someone else will do it for them.

It’s really sad..

We live ..

Hey..You have not explained what happened to your native..

Prashant : I have a plan. But I will tell you next week..

Me : Take care, Njoy.
waiting for some good news dude..
