Heavy Pet-ing!! Puppies !!!

Few months back i was switching around television channels, just stopped by at News9 where in show was covering the dogs sizzling the ramp. It was not ordinary ramp show, ramp was sizzled not only by foreign breeds but also the desi dogs which included few stray dogs, yes the stray dogs. I said ok. and changed the channel by then.

But few days back we, my family were opportune!! something happened where i had recollected the above show tv show. It's the cute little puppies. There they are! Aren't they cute?




But guess what, these cute little puppies were hardly 7 days old & they were facing toughest days of their life. Toughest because these little 5 puppies had lost their mother. Mother of these puppies gave birth to these just in front of our house in bushes at HSR layout.
It was wonderful seeing these pretty adorable little puppies with their mother. But just within 2~3 days after giving birth the mother seemed not quite keeping good. It had gone crazy, with excess salivation roaming around like real crazy. probably that was rabies. Just the very next of these symptoms it had it's last breath leaving behind five little cute adorable puppies which were hardly 4-5 days old.

Among these one was really either beautiful or handsome (I am not sure about gender :P) was adopted by the nearby house construction guards. But remaining four still struggling, we bought them to our home, they were so tiny. The most excited to welcome them in our home was my nephew Rishit and least excited is my wife Vani, she is scared of dogs. We had them with us for few days, It was really fun having and playing with them in home along side really tough keeping them clean and feeding them.




















We miss them. All n all  it was really fun filled few days with these little puppies, and later we had to hand over them to one of NGO's. They charge some amount to take care of stray dogs.
Here are few links if you find such situation in future.

Day out to Muthathi

Quite weird name to hear, isn't it? But the place isn't really weird !!
Is an ancient forest which has connection with Ramayana. When Sita Devi was taking bath at this place, her nose studd falls into the kaveri river. Lord Hanuman finds the studd and returns to Sita maatha. Hanuman gets the name Muthetharaya as a consequence and there is a small temple for Anjaneya at this place. And i  wonder how name of this place is might have derived.


First pit stop, between Sathanur and Muthathi. 
Believe me it was no mans land ;)
Marh 19th is the day that I with some of friends visited this place. Beginning with some geographic point of view of this place, is pretty close to Bangalore. Muthathi is a village on banks of kabini river, a nice calm, windy cool place. It is 90 km's drive from outskirts of Bangalore, drive to Kanakapura road, till you cross Banashankari, till end of METRO stores drive is miserable as due to Metro rail work in progress. From then the drive would be pretty decent. Drive of 70 kms on kanakapura road will take to Sathanur. and left from there, 18 kms of drive, and we reach muthathi. Drive between sathanur and muthathi is just amazing. A thick forest offers nice jungle feeling, birds singing. Is like a no mans land. Hardly encounter of any other vehicle till reach to muthathi. But if it is core summer you will definately feel the ablaze of wind, especially for us as we drove to muthathi by bikes ;)

Once reach muthathi, head to boating place. where local villagers offer coracle ride and charge 40 per head. This ride would take you to other end of the river. Nice palce to spend some time in water swimming. and the best part, place is not too crowded.

There is no accomodation available in muthathi, other than Bheemeshwari Fishing camp run by Jungle lodges & resorts and it needs prior reservation at least on weekends. And also kaveri running here has saveral whirlpools, and heard many have lost their lives here. Check this link as precautionary.   






Muthathi is great bird watching place, but we could not sight many many. we sighted wagtail, black kites & many of monkeys. By the time we reached the place was pretty late in noon, possible reason that we could not sight many birds.























Well it was the same day, much hyped super moon. how can i forget shooting moon. Below is my supermoon shot.
