It was a nice experience and pleasure today morning
to visit Sameer hilltop under IITB campus. I joined the mini trip with my colleagues
Deepak Malani and Vijay Rakad. This two hour journey allowed getting pleasure
from the diverse beauty of IITB campus and its surroundings, instead of being
busy with the stress of study and other internal activities. I never wake up early morning rather than exam times and today I did something extra (from my usual routine) with the help of Vijay’s preplan. The route as well as the place was new for us and we got the pleasure every moment to discover something new, which is a usual human tendency. In the mean time I would like to say that the IITB campus has rich and diverse ecological communities performing a variety of functions. One can see more numbers of animals than human being inside the campus. It includes various types of birds, wild cow, snakes, leopard (rare) etc.
Therefore while moving towards the hilltop, sometimes an unknown fear
arised with the remembrance of leopard and snakes. When we reached the
destination, we were able to see the real natural beauty of IITB. It was
amazing to see the green Campus from top, Powai Lake, Vihar Lake and the nice
view of hills on the other shore. We did some activities, which are not legal
in IITB rules. We crossed the boundary and we find the clear view of Vihar Lake
and nearby slum areas, even we visited a temple near to the lake side. Simply,
it was a short journey but with lots of experiences and enjoyment.
