Untold stories
Posted By thecouple
Here are a few shots/stories – which we did not post earlier because we thought the ones we posted were more interesting.
Man tilling a field
Oxen/bullocks tilling fields are a common sight. For the first time, we saw two men tilling a paddy field – one pulling the plough and the other behind it. For the farmers who do not own cattle or have the means to rent one would not have a choice!
Mineral check post
We have seen check posts of various departments – Forests, RTO, Octroi, Sales Tax, Excise…. But this is the first time we saw a Mineral check post (at Dandeli – Belgaum road). Illegal mining used to thrive in many parts of western ghats. Perhaps, that might be the reason
‘Ye race gaadi hey’
On common comment we came across from various people about the car is ‘race car’. School children, petrol bunk operators, traffic policemen, shop keepers, guests in some of the hotels….
One more reason to blog
This was Mr. Gupta, whom we met at Bandekars at Dandeli. When he heard that we have to blog every day, this is what he told us.
Rasta roko
When these four-leggers take charge of the road, we have to just wait.
Don’t stay here after finishing your work
This one was at the public toilet at Jog Falls.
Siesta at Bandekar’s
An hour of rest at Bandekars.
Once we wished for a ‘car treadmill’
From the second day, most of our drive was through ghats and odometer was moving very slowly. We were not able to log in 300 kms on many days and the backlog increased. If we try to cover distance fast, scope of getting stories becomes less. So we thought, “If only we could put the car on a treadmill in the night…”. On the last 2-3 days we managed to cover more distance and still get some interesting stories.
