A little bit of context before you begin reading this book review. I have recently enrolled for an MA in Philosophy at the University of Mumbai. Philosophy is something I have been getting interested in, over the past few years, as those of you who have been reading my blogs and Instagram posts would know. During the pandemic, I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do next, and this is what I eventually came up with. It has been a challenge, getting back into academics as a student at this age, especially in a subject I have no academic background in. However, it has also been very exciting, especially thanks to my wonderful classmates (who, surprisingly, are of all age-groups, including some quite near my own) and my teachers, who have been very supportive and understanding. How well I will do is something that remains to be seen, but so far, I am enjoying this new journey and look forward to where it leads. Now that you know the background , you probably get an idea of how
Earth, Water, Mountain, Clouds.... how wonderful it looks......
This was taken from the train, as we were passing over the Krishna river, while returning from Tirupati. I am off again, this time to Hampi - a heritage tour as well as a wildlife one, for I shall be staying at the Jungle Lodges and Resorts' Sloth Bear Resort. From there I will be heading over to Badami, trying to see as much of Badami, Aihole and Pattadakkal as I can, before heading over to Puttaparthi to bring in the new year...... Till then, have a wonderful time, and keep coming back, for the Tirupati posts aren't over yet!!!

@Shrinidhi: we used to do it too, as kids... thankfully, we outgrew it... but Samhith heard me talk about it once, and wants to do it too.... it helps though, keeping him busy looking out for rivers!
Wonderful scene. I first thought it some where in the Konkan coast. You will need plenty of time. Hampi itself will take a lot.
