I had recorded this post during my early morning walk at last week. The below post has been edited and updated at the time of publishing.
GKVK Campus, North Bengaluru
GKVK University campus in North Bengaluru is a place of tranquility and serenity that is worth exploring. An early morning walk on the campus is a perfect way to start your day and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. The campus is spread over 1000 acres of lush greenery and offers a peaceful environment that is ideal for a refreshing morning walk. As you stroll through the campus, you will be surrounded by a stunning array of flora and fauna that will delight your senses.
An early morning walk to spur creativity
On the morning of September 14th 2022, I decided to change my morning routine a bit- after walking Buddy early in the morning, I returned home around 5:30. Fifteen minutes later, I was out again, with some food to feed some of the stray dogs in the neighbourhood. I avoid taking Buddy out because not all dogs I feed are friendly towards him. Following that, I decided to walk uptown the Agricultural University- GKGK.
During your walk, you can explore the various faculties, research centers, and experimental fields that are housed within the campus. The Horticulture department, for example, has a diverse collection of plants and trees that are both fascinating and educational.
Recording the blog post while walking down the University Boulevard
Early in the morning, walking down this tree lined road is an absolute bliss! Below is the transcript from my narration as I was walking. I voice recorded my thoughts into otter.ai, and the raw draft was prepared using speech to text. I have edited the transcription for better readability.
Parting Thoughts
The cool breeze, the chirping of the birds, and the stillness of the surroundings make for a serene and enjoyable experience. If you find yourself in North Bengaluru, a morning walk at the Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra (GKVK) University campus is a must-do activity.

Transcript from Speech To Text
A lovely overcast morning and I’m walking in the GKVK campus. It’s about quarter to six in the morning. It’s lighting up a little bit. Sunrise will be closer to 06:30 AM , and it is cloudy. It rained quite a bit last night. And I thought before the day’s madness begins, let me do a short walk inside this beautiful campus. I live about 400 odd meters from this place, and it’s just beautiful to walk right now. Not too many people around, but in another hour or so this place will get really busy. And the campus is literally flooded with walkers over the weekend.
