Bangalore To Mangalore: The Hill Drive

If you have a passion to drive, the Bangalore-Mangalore drive is one of the good roads to drive onn.

here is the route: Bangalore - Hassan - Sakleshpur - Mangalore.

you will encounter very good roads en-route sakleshpur, the shiradi Ghat section is one of the best roads to drive on (need to be careful negotiating blind curves)

we took around 10 hours with 4 stops to reach Mangalore.Beautiful green scenic beauty allures to stop at every time you turn the wheel.

Best time to drive through this SHIRADI Ghat is during monsoon esp when the rain is stopped and you will feel the freshness in the air and peep out of the window to grasp the greenery around.

Travel, explore and drive safe

TRUTH OF LIFE


A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind,
please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how
things were.The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.Face your past without regret.Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling,And even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
