It was October and drizzling in the City of Lakes; the
weather was windy and cool, riding bike for after 3 years towards the Nehar
Puliya the start point of Kolar Road.
Crossing Nehar Puliya after so long time was usual but with
extra traffic, moving forward enjoying the weather with heavy rushes of cars
and bikes and buses and honking and pedestrians the view of surprise is high
rise multi-storey buildings with glass panels instead of brick walls, few had
aluminium composite panel on both sides of the roads which was almost barren
just three years ago, it was like one has to try hard to find the civilization
of Bhopal there.
The Paan Tapras and road side Chai ki Dukaans are all
vanished, now is the pleasant weather with lot of infrastructure all sides.
Further ahead it was good crossing the Police Station the ambiance is same
there the countryside look. The vacant grounds with the trail leading to the
not so high hills having temples on the top; on the right side of the road and
on the left its all same the sparsely located townships, marriage gardens, the
tavern and the newly habituated colonies.
The road after the village Bairagarh Chinchli is maintaining
its old look with green fields on both sides leading you the Kolar Dam through
woods and grass fields and the all-time co traveller to the movers of the road
the big pipeline. The Kolar Dam is the prime source of drinking water to Bhopal
and pipeline on the right side of the road takes the water from dam to the
proud inhabitants of city of pride The Bhopal.
To all this is the call from the Kolar, the road, the town
and the dam for a visit to the dam again experiencing the new look of the town
and the dam with the greenery on one side, the large spread of water with the woods; all is there at the destination to kill
your pain and ache of travel.
