Pathways

2014 image, Panchgani

Some pathways emerge silently, pull us and make us walk on them. They lead us to unknown yet known world. Every step takes us a thousand miles deeper into the land of uncertainty. We never know what awaits us. I don’t like to travel, but sometimes I feel it has become my destiny. Wish I could time travel and make my journey a little shorter. Alas, there is no short-cut towards destination.

...and here I am again in this moment fighting with anxiety as I try to figure out the vicious circle that holds me trapped in the chains of uncertainty.

what's on his mind?

His eyes speak with such intensity,

I freeze in the moment.

He stares blankly.

His piercing gaze

Makes me think
and I wonder.

Everything that contains nothingness,

Is that nothingness everything?

Everyone called him Babu. We met him on our way to Mahabaleshwar temple and he became our guide. I learnt one thing. It's always good to ask for directions when we have no idea about the place. Guidance is always available. We need to trust and walk in faith.

Fragrance cherished

It was raining heavily. We were driving on the narrow roads of Mahabaleshwar amidst the forest. It was a tryst with nature.We wanted to touch the clouds, walk in the rain and sing a rain song. Travelling together on the road, penetrating the dark clouds, we went further and reached our destination.
We indulged in the scenic beauty and there the fruity fragrance of Strawberries blended with the scent of showy Magnolia as we had our coffee.The fragrance followed us a long way.
