CTRL Review by Neha Madhukar

I recently watched this movie called Ctrl which is a take on AI and how it might take control, hence the name ctrl) in all the wrong ways.

the movie stars Ananya Pandey and Vihaan Samat, Nella, and Joe are a popular social media influencer couple. When he cheats on her, she turns to an AI app to erase his digital existence on her computer and social media. However, the maker of the AI secretly begins to take control of her data and life, illegally invading her privacy.

the format of the movie is somewhat similar to The Searching a 2018 American screen life mystery thriller film directed by Aneesh Chaganty

I read quite a few reviews about this movie and noticed that it didn't have a lot of great reviews which makes sense, because of the ending

it might seem quite slow at some intervals and did fail to keep me engaged at times, but the theme of the movie was quite fascinating, now everyone knows that meta specifically Instagram and also YouTube track your activity and algorithm, based on what type of content you engage with, the recommendations are tailored and personalized to the user, although the series of events that occur throughout the movie are exaggerated, it does remind us of the social media that we interact with on an everyday basis

SPOILER ALERT

at the end of the movie, despite the app ruining her life, she stays away from it for a certain period of time but she is slowly drawn back in when she sees an advertisement of the same, now everyone thought that this was extremely ridiculous and stupid and i kind of agree, i thought the same when i first watched it, but the more i thought about it, i realised that, we uninstall Instagram because it consumes too much of our time and we waste our time scrolling on reels, or we might deactivate our accounts during an exam but we still reinstall in a few days later. failing to stay away, it feels dangerously relatable which to me makes it interesting and worth watching once

this movie made me want to write a blog after almost a year.

The best feel good romcoms

it's been exactly a month since Valentine's Day, but tis romcom season! 

there is nothing like cozying up after exams and watching a romantic comedy. 

1. we're starting with Googly, one of the most popular iconic Kannada movies. starring Yash and Kriti Karbhanda, this is one of those movies that was a blockbuster and is still now one of the most iconic movies he has ever starred in. 

Sharath and Swathi meet in Bangalore and fall in love but due to misunderstandings, they drift apart. Two years later, destiny brings them face-to-face at a friend's wedding. 

googly is available on Sunxt.

sandalwood has impeccable romcoms! 

2. paramathma starring our beloved appu, Aindrita Ray and Deepa Sannidhi. these are all iconic movies that I've been watching since I was a little girl. param which is the character appu plays is again one of the most iconic characters, one of my favourite comfort movies, you could watch it for the 100th time and still never be bored. 

Sharath and Swathi meet in Bangalore and fall in love but due to misunderstandings, they drift apart. Two years later, destiny brings them face-to-face at a friend's wedding. 

paramathma is available on disney+ hotstar 

jackie was recently re-released by KRG Productions, even though its not exactlty a romcom. it is worth an honourable mention. 

3. Jab we met- now for a little mix of other languages, i had watched jab we met when i was a kid probably, but i had no memory of it whatsoever.. when my boards just ended, the last subjet was math and right after math i wanted to unwind and i absolutely loved it. it was a nice hopeful, witty romance. and shahid kapoor in that era was perfection.and i know that it is a comfort movie for many and i can certianly undestand why, one of those iconic evergreen movies, and now definitely one of my favourites too.  .While they miss their train, Geet and Aditya begin a journey together to her home and what follows is a love that changes them.  

4. Wake up Sid- i watched 2 movies in one day hehe.. but this movie was everything, wake up sid felt more relatable and seemed more realistic. and since i watched both jab we met and wake up sid in the same day, i ended up comparing the two. this seemed more motivational. these were the eras of bollywood where they produced movies that were actually good and had a lot of meaning to them.. i loved the story and the characters especially aisha's and of course the protagonist siddharth himself who experiened a lot of growth. i wish i could live in the aesthetics of this movie. and i think i resonate with this more. 

5. how to Lose a Guy in 10 Days- this movie is so wholesome. 

the plot line of this movie is so funny, Matthew Macchoaney is charming, and Kate Hudson's acting is so witty and fun. this movie is inspired by a guidebook of the same name. I had no idea about it. I found out about it myself while writing this blog. 

one of the most iconic movies that have defined pop culture. 

kate Hudson's character Andie is a writer for a women's magazine and she makes a bet that she can make a guy fall in love with her in 10 days and get him to break up with her. which is basically the do's and don't's in dating, but obviously, they end up falling in love. which results in the most wholesome and hilarious scenes. 

iphone 15 plus review by Neha Madhukar

I have been using the iPhone SE Gen 2 for the past 3 years, it was actually my first phone and honestly, it has been great, ever since I was little, I always wanted to have an iPhone with a home button and I almost bought the iPhone Xr over it and I'm glad I didn't.

my dad got the new iPhone 15 Pro and I got the iPhone 15 plus and I couldn't be more grateful. it has been so amazing, going from such a small screen with a 4.7-inch display to a 6.7-inch display was such a big difference. 

and I have really small hands so it is quite difficult for me to handle the 15 plus but nevertheless, the big screen is so worth it. 

some of the cons of the iPhone 15/15 plus are of course as we all know the 60hz refresh rate and the slow speed of the USB C. 2.0 speed capable of 480Mbps data transfer, now this isn't that much of a con as in an average iPhone base model user probably wouldn't care much. so it would not matter that much per se. my dad has the 15 pros and it has a 120hz display which Apple calls the "pro motion" display when you know how 120hz display is, the 60hz display seems choppier. otherwise, it actually does not really matter to me. this is the first time where the base model is actually pretty good, and some actual changes. 

the dynamic island. now everyone says this is kind of gimmicky, maybe it is,  nevertheless I still really like it and the fun little animations that play. it is pretty useful with apps like Uber and Ola, and it's pretty nice to have a timer for instance running in the background instead of always staying on the app. It works with both Spotify and Apple Music, and it is easier to switch between music instead of going into the app 

I'm not much of a tech enthu, although I may be getting into it. these are just some of the things I know and have noticed. 

coming to the colors, everyone has been saying that the colors are pretty dull and weak this time around, well yeah it is, but I actually kind of like it. the lightest color probably has to be blue, it seems white in certain lighting but I really liked it ever since I first saw the 15 line up, i knew it was the one I was going to get if I did buy it. but to me, it seemed like a beautiful ocean blue. the black is spectacular.  it looks premium. it looks like the colors from the pro phones. 

the battery life of the Plus phones are known to be pretty good and they certainly are. i dont really use my phone much every day so it does not drop below 70 percent for me 

I was thinking about getting the s23 fe or one of the z flip series, but again because of the Apple ecosystem and since I've gotten used to the ios, as my first phone was also an iPhone, the iPhone just seemed like a better option,  my dad got the pro and he traded his 12 to get that, I was supposed to get the 12 but well things turn out for the best. and that was my opinion and experience of the iPhone 15 plus after having it

ಗೋವಾದ ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹ್ತಾ ಹೈ ಕೋಟೆ | ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆ

ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯನ್ನು ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆ ಅಥವಾ ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹ್ತಾ ಹೈ ಗೋವಾ ಕೋಟೆ ಎಂದೂ ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಇದು ಗೋವಾದ ಉತ್ತರ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ನೀವೇ ಹೋಗಿ ಆ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳನ್ನು ಮತ್ತೆ ಬದುಕಬಹುದು. ಕೋಟೆಯು ಚಪೋರಾ ನದಿಯನ್ನು ನೋಡುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ವಾಗಟರ್ ಬೀಚ್‌ನಿಂದ ಕೇವಲ 700 ಮೀಟರ್ ದೂರದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ನೀವು ಸುತ್ತಮುತ್ತಲಿರುವಾಗ ಈ ಎರಡೂ ಪ್ರವಾಸಿ ಆಕರ್ಷಣೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆನಂದಿಸಲು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಮಯವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ.

ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆ ಅಥವಾ ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹ್ತಾ ಹೈ ಗೋವಾ ಕೋಟೆ ಈ ಕೋಟೆಯು ಹಿಂದೆ ಒರಟು ತೇಪೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದು ಅದು ನಡೆಯಲು ಕಷ್ಟಕರವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, ಈಗ ನಿಮ್ಮಂತಹ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾದ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ರಸ್ತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಕಾರ್ಪೆಟ್ ಬೀದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾರಾಟಗಾರರು ಕೂಡ ಸ್ಟ್ರೀಮ್ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಆಹಾರ, ರಸ ಮತ್ತು ನೀರಿಗಾಗಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನದ ಹಸಿವನ್ನು ಪೂರೈಸಲು ತಮ್ಮ ಕೊಡುಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.


ಈ ವಸ್ತುಗಳ ಲಭ್ಯತೆಯು ಚಾಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯ ಓರೆಯಾದ ಎತ್ತರದ ಚಾರಣವನ್ನು ಸುಲಭಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ನೀವು ಅನಾರೋಗ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಖಚಿತಪಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ತುದಿಯನ್ನು ತಲುಪಿದಾಗ, ಕೋಟೆಯ ವಿಶಾಲವಾದ ವಿಸ್ತಾರವನ್ನು ನೀವು ಯುವಕರು ಅಥವಾ ನವವಿವಾಹಿತರು ತಮ್ಮ ಮಧುಚಂದ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಹಸಮಯವಾಗಿ ಕಳೆಯಲು ಬಯಸುವವರನ್ನು ನೋಡುತ್ತೀರಿ. ಆದರೆ ಕೆಲವು ಸಂಗತಿಗಳು ಈ ಸ್ಥಳವನ್ನು ವಯಸ್ಸಾದವರಿಗೆ ಸೂಕ್ತವಲ್ಲದ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಅಪೂರ್ಣ ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳು.

ಅನೇಕ ಛಾಯಾಗ್ರಾಹಕರು, ಮಾಡೆಲ್‌ಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ನಟರು ವೃತ್ತಿಪರ ಮತ್ತು ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಕ್ಯಾಮೆರಾಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಡ್ರೋನ್‌ಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ನೀವು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಫೋಟೋಶೂಟ್‌ಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕ್ಯಾಮರಾ ಅಥವಾ ಡ್ರೋನ್ ಅನ್ನು ಸಹ ತರಬಹುದು ಮತ್ತು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತ ಅಥವಾ ಆತ್ಮದ ಜೊತೆ ನೆನಪುಗಳನ್ನು ರಚಿಸಬಹುದು. ಕಿತ್ತಳೆ ಮತ್ತು ಬಿಳಿ ಹಾರಿಜಾನ್ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಮಂತ್ರಮುಗ್ಧಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಸೂರ್ಯಾಸ್ತದ ನೋಟವು ಛಾಯಾಗ್ರಹಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸ್ಥಳವನ್ನು ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.








ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹತಾ ಹೈ ಗೋವಾ ಕೋಟೆ: ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ತನ್ನ ಉಳಿದಿರುವ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ 2001 ರಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾದ ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹ್ತಾ ಹೈ ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹತಾ ಹೈ ಗೋವಾ ಫೋರ್ಟ್ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ದೃಶ್ಯಗಳಿಂದಾಗಿ ಇದು ತನ್ನ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ ಗುರುತನ್ನು ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದೆ. ಇದು ಸೈಫ್ ಅಲಿ ಖಾನ್, ಅಮೀರ್ ಖಾನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಅಕ್ಷಯ್ ಖನ್ನಾ ನಟಿಸಿದ ಮೂವರು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರ ಕಥೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.

ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಿಸಲಾದ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರದ ದೃಶ್ಯವು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅದ್ಭುತ ಮತ್ತು ಆಕರ್ಷಕವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂವರು ಗೆಳೆಯರು ನಿಂತು ಮಾತನಾಡುವುದನ್ನು ನೋಡುಗರು ನೋಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಇದು ತುಂಬಾ ಆಳವಾದ ದೃಶ್ಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ, ಅವರ ಜೀವನವು ಬದಲಾಗಲಿದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಈ ಚಿತ್ರ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾದ ನಂತರ ಈ ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ದಿಲ್ ಚಾಹ್ತಾ ಹೈ ಫೋರ್ಟ್ ಎಂಬ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಹೆಸರು ಬಂದಿದೆ.


ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿ, ಅನೇಕ ಯುವಕರು, ಆಗಾಗ್ಗೆ ಗೊಂದಲಕ್ಕೊಳಗಾಗುತ್ತಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ತೆರೆದ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮನ್ನು ತಾವು ಅನ್ವೇಷಿಸಲು ಬಯಸುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಕೋಟೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ನಿಂತಿರುವ ಆ ಮೂರು ಪಾತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮನ್ನು ತಾವು ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. ಈ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿಯೇ ಆ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರವನ್ನು ಇಷ್ಟಪಡುವ ಅಥವಾ ಆ ಮೂವರು ನಟರ ಕಟ್ಟಾ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಾಗಿರುವ ಯುವಕರು ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ಆಗಾಗ್ಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.


ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯನ್ನು ತಲುಪುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ

ರಸ್ತೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯನ್ನು ತಲುಪುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ: ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಡ್ರೈವಿಂಗ್ ಮಾಡಲು ಮತ್ತು ಪರವಾನಗಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದರೆ ಬಾಡಿಗೆಗೆ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸಿ ಅಥವಾ ಸ್ಕೂಟರ್ ಅನ್ನು ಬಾಡಿಗೆಗೆ ಪಡೆಯುವುದು ಲಭ್ಯವಿರುವ ಏಕೈಕ ಉತ್ತಮ ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಪನ್ವೇಲ್-ಕೊಚ್ಚಿ-ಕನ್ಯಾಕುಮಾರಿ ಹೆದ್ದಾರಿಯ ಮೂಲಕ ರಸ್ತೆಯು ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸಿ ಮೂಲಕ ತಲುಪಲು ಸುಮಾರು ಒಂದು ಗಂಟೆ ಹತ್ತು ನಿಮಿಷಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ಸ್ಕೂಟರ್ ಅನ್ನು ಸವಾರಿ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ, ಟ್ರಾಫಿಕ್ ಅನ್ನು ಅವಲಂಬಿಸಿ, ತಲುಪಲು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸಮಯ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. ಗೋವಾ ಅಂತರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣದಿಂದ

ರಸ್ತೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ: ಗೋವಾ ಅಂತರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣದ ಮುಂದೆ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸಿಗಳು ಬಾಡಿಗೆಗೆ ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಲಭ್ಯವಿವೆ. ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣದಿಂದ ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯನ್ನು ತಲುಪಲು ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸಿ ಸುಮಾರು ಒಂದೂವರೆ ಗಂಟೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ.
ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಲು ಉತ್ತಮ ಸಮಯ | ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಲು ಉತ್ತಮ ಸಮಯ

ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ಸಂಜೆಯ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡುವುದು ಉತ್ತಮ. ಇದು ಪೆನಿನ್ಸುಲಾ, ಚಪೋರಾ ನದಿ ಮತ್ತು ಚಪೋರಾ, ಅಂಜುನಾ ಮತ್ತು ವಾಗಟರ್ ಕಡಲತೀರಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಅದ್ಭುತ ನೋಟವನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅರೇಬಿಯನ್ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ಮೇಲೆ ಉರಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಸೂರ್ಯಾಸ್ತದ ಪನೋರಮಾವನ್ನು ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಲು ಇದು ಉತ್ತಮ ಸ್ಥಳವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಮಾತ್ರ, ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಗೆ ಪ್ರವಾಸ ಮತ್ತು ಹತ್ತಲು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಉಪಯುಕ್ತವಾಗಿದೆ.



ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯನ್ನು ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಲು ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ಕ್ಷಣವೆಂದರೆ ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೂರ್ಯನು ನೇರವಾಗಿ ತಲೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಗೋವಾದಲ್ಲಿ, ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ಮತ್ತು ಜನವರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಹವಾಮಾನವು ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸಹನೀಯವಾಗಿ ಬಿಸಿಯಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ, ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಗುಡ್ಡಗಾಡು ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ.

ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ಅಂತ್ಯದ ಬೆಸ ಗಂಟೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಸುವುದು ಉತ್ತಮವಾಗಿದೆ, ಬಿಸಿಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರ ಬಟ್ಟೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೆನೆಸದೆ ಸೂರ್ಯೋದಯ ಅಥವಾ ಸೂರ್ಯಾಸ್ತವನ್ನು ವೀಕ್ಷಿಸಲು. ಮುಂಜಾನೆ ಅಥವಾ ಸಂಜೆ ತಡವಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಪಿಕ್ನಿಕ್ ಕೂಡ ಸಾಧ್ಯ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲು ಸಾಕು. ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ, ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರು ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ 6 ರಿಂದ 9 ರವರೆಗೆ ಅಥವಾ ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನ 2 ರಿಂದ 3 ರ ನಂತರ ತಲುಪಬೇಕು. ಸರಾಸರಿಯಾಗಿ, ಸುತ್ತಮುತ್ತಲಿನ ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ತುದಿಯನ್ನು ಅನ್ವೇಷಿಸಲು ಸುಮಾರು ಎರಡು ಗಂಟೆಗಳಷ್ಟು ಸಾಕು.
ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸ | ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸ

ಚಪೋರಾ ಕೋಟೆಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸವು ದೀರ್ಘ ಮತ್ತು ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಮಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ವಿವಿಧ ಕಾಲದ ಅನೇಕ ಆಡಳಿತಗಾರರು ನಡೆಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಚಪೋರಾ ಗ್ರಾಮ ಮತ್ತು ಕೋಟೆಯು 'ಶಹಪುರ' ಅಥವಾ 'ಸಿಟಿ ಆಫ್ ದಿ ಷಾ' ದಿಂದ ತಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದೆ. ಇದು ಒಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜಾಪುರದ ಸುಲ್ತಾನರ ಭದ್ರಕೋಟೆಯಾಗಿತ್ತು ಎಂಬುದು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ.

ಚಪೋರಾ ಫೋರ್ಟ್‌ಗೆ ಸಲಹೆಗಳು ಅಹಿತಕರವಾದ ಯಾವುದನ್ನೂ ಧರಿಸಬೇಡಿ : ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ತುದಿಗೆ ಏರಲು ಯೋಜಿಸುವ ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರಿಗಳಿಗೆ, ಹೈ ಹೀಲ್ಸ್‌ನಂತಹ ಅಹಿತಕರವಾದ ಯಾವುದನ್ನೂ ಧರಿಸದಂತೆ ಬಲವಾಗಿ ಸಲಹೆ ನೀಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಕಡಿದಾದ ಪ್ರದೇಶವನ್ನು ಹತ್ತುವಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ತೊಂದರೆ ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.


ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಹಣ ತನ್ನಿ: ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ತುದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಎಟಿಎಂಗಳಿಲ್ಲ ಅಥವಾ ಮಾರಾಟಗಾರರು ತಿಂಡಿಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅಂತಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರಿಗೆ ಹಸಿವು ಕಂಡುಬಂದರೆ ಅವರು ನಗದು ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾವತಿಸಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವಂತ ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ತನ್ನಿ: ಕೋಟೆಯ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಮಾರಾಟಗಾರರು ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳ ಕೊರತೆಯಿಂದಾಗಿ ಬಾಟಲಿ ನೀರಿಗೆ ಸಹ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಶುಲ್ಕ ವಿಧಿಸಬಹುದು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಅವರು ಬೆಲೆಯನ್ನು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಕಾಯುವ ಬದಲು, ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರು ತಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವಂತ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳಾದ ನೀರು, ಚಿಪ್ಸ್, ಸ್ಯಾಂಡ್‌ವಿಚ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ತರಬಹುದು
. ಸನ್‌ಸ್ಕ್ರೀನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಸನ್‌ಗ್ಲಾಸ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಧರಿಸಿ. ನೀವು ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಮೇಲಿರುವಾಗ ಸೂರ್ಯ ಬೇಗನೆ ಅಸ್ತಮಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಕೆಲವು ಜನರಿಗೆ ಶಾಖವು ಅಗಾಧವಾಗಿರಬಹುದು. ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರು ಬಿಸಿಲು ಅಥವಾ ಅಲರ್ಜಿಯನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲು ಸನ್‌ಸ್ಕ್ರೀನ್ ಮತ್ತು ಸನ್‌ಗ್ಲಾಸ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಬಳಸಬೇಕು.

The Dil Chahta Hai fort in Goa | Chapora Fort

Chapora Fort, also known as Chapora Fort or Dil Chahta hai goa fort, is situated on the northern side of Goa. You can go and re-live those moments by yourself. The fort overlooks the Chapora River and is only 700 meters from Vagator Beach. So, try to manage your time to enjoy both these tourist attractions whenever you are around.

Chapora Fort or Dil Chahta hai goa fort The fort earlier had rough patches which made walking difficult. However, now proper pathways and roads have been made for travelers like you. Vendors also stream along these carpeted streets, selling their offerings to satisfy your midday hunger for food, juice, and water.


The availability of these things makes trekking up the slanting height of Chapora Fort easy and also ensures that you do not fall ill. On reaching the top of the hill, you will see the wide expanse of the fort filled with youngsters or newly married couples who want to have an adventurous time on their honeymoon. But there are some things which make the place unsuitable for elderly people like rocky steps and incomplete stairs.

Many photographers, models, and actors come here with their cameras and drones for professional and personal shoots. You can even bring your camera or drone for regular photoshoots and create memories with your best friend or soulmate. The mesmerizing sunset view along with the orange and white horizon makes the place perfect for photography.








Dil chahata hai goa fort: Chapora fort already has a historical story attached to its surviving fort. But it got its present identity because of the famous scenes from the movie Dil chahta hai Dil chahata hai goa fort released in 2001. It was a story of three friends starring Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshaye Khanna.

The movie scene that was shot here was one of the most amazing and fascinating ones. In this, the viewer could see three friends standing and talking. It was such a profound scene because while they were deciding what to do with their lives, their lives were about to change. Hence, this Chapora Fort got another name of Dil Chahta Hai Fort after the release of the film.





Finally, many young people, who are often confused and want to explore themselves out in the open, may find themselves among those three characters standing on the fort. This is the reason why Chapora Fort is often visited by youngsters who either love that movie or are ardent fans of those three actors.

Best Time To Visit Chapora Fort | Best Time To Visit Chapora Fort

Chapora Fort is best visited in the evening, when the scorching heat of the afternoon subsides. It offers a spectacular view over the peninsula, the Chapora River and the beaches of Chapora, Anjuna and Vagator. It is also a great place to watch the panorama of a fiery sunset over the Arabian Sea. This alone, makes the trip and climb to Chapora Fort more than worthwhile.

Chapora Fort The best moment to view the Chapora Fort is during the afternoon when the sun is not directly overhead. In Goa, during December and January, the weather becomes unbearably hot in the afternoons, especially in the hilly areas.

Therefore, it is best to travel at the odd hours of late December, to watch the sunrise or sunset without soaking travelers' clothes in the heat. Suffice to say, picnics are also possible here during the early morning or late evening. For that, passengers have to reach between 6 am to 9 am or after 2 pm to 3 pm. On average, about two hours will be enough to explore the surroundings and the top of the hill.
History of Chapora Fort | Chapora Fort History

The history of the Chapora Fort fort is long and varied. It has been held by many rulers for different periods of time. Chapora village and fort get their name from 'Shahpura' or 'City of the Shah'. This was due to the fact that it was once a stronghold of the Sultanate of Bijapur.

Tips For Chapora FortDo not wear anything uncomfortable : For the hikers who are planning to climb to the top of the hill, it is strongly advised not to wear anything uncomfortable like high heels. Otherwise, it will only cause trouble while climbing a steep area.
Bring enough cash: There are no ATMs at the top of the hill or where vendors sell refreshments. In such a situation, if the passengers feel hungry then they will have to pay in cash.
Bring your own food: Vendors below the fort may overcharge even for bottled water due to lack of resources. So, instead of waiting for them to reduce the price, passengers can bring their own resources like water, chips, sandwiches etc.
Wear sunscreen and sunglasses. The sun doesn't set early when you're on top of a hill. The heat can be overwhelming for some people. Travelers should use sunscreen and sunglasses to avoid sunburn or allergies.
