Many couples start zeroing in on their honeymoon destination and plans way before their wedding. Flying out to exotic locations or going on adventure trips, couples have time and again tried to make the best out of their honeymoons. But recently a newlywed Karnataka couple took the destination not taken and became an example for all.
Anudeep Hegde and Minusha Kanchan who tied the knot in Anudeep’s hometown in Karnataka spent their honeymoon cleaning up Someshwara beach that is located in their town. The couple dated each other for six weeks before the wedding and used to visit the beach for their dates. They were tired of watching their favorite spot turn into a dumpster, that is when the noble idea of the cleanup drive instead of honeymoon struck them.

Anudeep had shared, “We were considering Lakshadweep or Himachal Pradesh… but the pandemic and risks of long-distance travel at this time had made us wary. All this while, we had also been noticing that the beach where I often came while growing up had transformed for the worse. There was so much waste – mostly chappals, alcohol bottles, and medicine bottles – littering the shore. I just spontaneously suggested to Minusha that we do a clean up till we are here. And she agreed without hesitation.”

The duo started cleaning the beach alone and bought needed resources like gloves, bins for the job. However, seeing them at the cause, 15-20 local volunteers also joined in, and together they cleaned up 80% of the beach. In two weeks of time, the duo managed to clear approximately 800kgs of trash from Someshwara beach.
