Friday evening,there was panic due to swine flu.Same time,my friend Saravanan reminded me about our travel plan.We started our bike ride 8.30pm from silk board junction.I was @pillion.When Saravanan drives my bike i always think this : why i become an agnostic.Why can’t i be a religious and made an agreement “Mr.God if i reach safely,i will give my hair”.We reached Hosur within half an hour despite of all the mess up happening in elevator highway construction works.

we took Royakkottai,Palakkod route to reach Dharmapuri.Its a pleasant route with less traffic.People who hav plan to visit [W:{Hogenakkal}], can use this route.After we crossed Royakkottai,Rain started.Stopped our vehicle Found a shelter in a brinjal wholesale market.Its a heavy rain.After few stops we reached his relative’s home before Dharmapuri.It was a nice village with farms.

When i entered the house,i found many innovative things there.Washbasin made with Plastic bucket.Wooden table legs connected with PVC pipe mounted with wheels.Modern type irrigation methods,Mechanical controls and Electrical sensors to switch on/off the motors,Home made Dish antenna to connect satellite television channels and i could found Speakers in middle of the field,later i got the clarified that plants grows healthy by listening music!!.I really surprised to see all these and i was very happy to hear that Organic farming is quite popular there.He cultivates Sugarcane,Turmeric,Coconut trees and other fruit trees.He farm Pigeons also.He is quite popular in their area and gave interviews to All India radio on Innovative farming.

Next day (Augest 15) early morning we drove to Rasipuram where saravanan’s hometown nearby.after 3hours drive we reached his place “Narasimman Kadu”.We reached at time before the village elementary school Flag hoisting ceremony start up.After the flag hoisting small kids started show their talents.Some said Rhymes,Some Sang nice folk songs,Some orate on Freedom struggle of India.From our Foundation(http://bavishya.ning.com) we gifted the uniforms to them.

After that i went his newly built home in between the agriculture fields with a hill backdrop.It was beautiful scenic location.I have taken rest in the whole day since i suffered from back pain.Same day evening we went to the nearby hills.”Palaniappar Temple” a murugan temple on the hills,after that we started walking into the jungle.We saw small group of people carrying things and walking behind us.After we started converse,we came to know that they are tribes living top of the Hills.They gave interesting informations to us.Peoples lives there dont die due to snake bites,They treat using herbals.Living in hills is easy for them rather living in valley.Whenever they come down to nearby town markets,they come by walk.Their stamina is unimaginable.I was not able to follow them.I felt uncomfortable.We both said bye to them and stopped near a small falls.There was less water.I drank it.Its tasty but nearby that there was plastic carrybags,beer bottles and other plastic wastes showed me how insensitive we are.Later i could see a lot of quotes written in white paint,  “Jesus saves us”,”Jesus is the only god” on the rocks.Who has witten that and what purpose? No comments.

I personally feel we are exploiting forests and animals and tribes too.Everypart of the forest has the footprint of ugly human’s modernisation ideas.I had all these toughts when i return back from the hills.We were arguing about Mr.Gandhi,Swami viveganandha and Manu dharma for some reasons.

Next day(Sunday) we started travel to Visit Bhavani sagar Refuee Camp locates neat TamilNadu-Karnakata Border.
