When the Winter Comes
Time stands still,
When the mountains speak.
Their language flows,
Through icy winds.
Time stands still,
When the winters come.
The Sun choose to hide,
In the kingdom of white!
Life seems to struggle,
In the peace of white.
But the toughest choose to smile,
As the white become their way of life!

The Way Of Water
Though I am destined to flow ,
From the mountains to ocean,
Yet my curse is to wash away,
Everything that comes my way.
In some way I infuse,
Life in the living,
But when the sins overflow,
I Rain like fire to kill…(Flood)
I feel guilty to carry,
The living and dead.
I am the carrier of God
To play the game of life and death..

Pleasures of the Wild
The YouTube video above is based on my poem ‘ Pleasures of the path ‘ .
I shot this video during my trek to Kuari Pass and I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of the Himalayas in Autumn season. It’s difficult to experience the same by watching this video but i hope my poetry did little magic to evoke the same emotions which I felt during the trek.
Thank you for watching and being a part of my blogging journey so far.
Life is an Adventure
There is nothing static in life. Everything changes with the blink of an eye. At one moment, you are celebrating and the other, you are mourning.
There is so much to be anxious about and so much to be happy for. But what matters most is how we go smoothly in our lives. Our attitude towards our lives.
Our calmness in times of distress, our balance in times of happiness, decide how long we can go and fulfil our purpose in lives .
Life is an adventure and you have a part to play , you have to fight in difficult times just like you enjoy your good times. There is no running away from this adventure, only forward is the way..
Keep Going

You are distressed,
You are Anxious,
Do you know why?
‘cause you are Lost !
You are Lost in a Jungle,
An artificial world,
Built by you, standing on lies.
A concrete world i.e. unreal!
There’s a Portal out there,
Portal to Peace and tranquillity.
Wander through and embrace,
The strength and power,
The Sunshine and rain,
The life in the Lap of mother Nature….

There’s a world out there,
Out there in the wild,
Your roots lie there in the open,
Waiting to grow you with sunshine.

In Between Darkness and Light
There’s a light fading with a promise,
The promise to bring sunshine again,
Till then let me bathe in it’s wonder,
The wonder between darkness and sunlight…..

Hope you had a great year, some may have struggled. But, What really matters is just you hang on there, try to have fun with whatever little moments you get. And wait for the amazing moments to shine on you…
Sooner or later they will….
Kuari Pass Trek (Lord Curzon Trail)
When nothing in life makes sense, when you feel lost in the polluted urban jungle which you call home, then you have to go back to your roots, the wilderness from where your species evolved. That place, those mountains from where you truly belong.
After another difficult year , I decided to go for another Himalayan trek in the last week of October 2021 and my destination was Kuari Pass which lies at 3876m height (from sea level) in the Garhwal region of Himalayas ,Uttarakhand.
It was an autumn season in the Garhwal Himalayas and the entire trail was coloured in green , brown and golden colours. You can only see snow above 4100 meters at various mountain peaks that surround you through out the trek.
Some of the peaks that takes your breath away during this trek are Mt. Dronagiri (7066m), Mt Kamet (7756m ), Mt Nanda Devi (7816m) and the nearest to Kuari pass, Mt Pangarchulla (4575m). You feel their presence like a shadow through out the trek.
The trek starts from Dhak Village in Joshimath (about 513km from New Delhi) and from there the entire trail is a steep ascend. The trail takes you through beautiful Deodar and oak forest called as Tali . From your camp in tali forest , you ascend above tree line, walk through golden bushes and various ridges to reach Kuari pass summit. And from there you return back to your camp in Tali forest.
From Tali forest camp you then trek to magnificent Tali Lake and descend to Auli via Gorsan Bugyal, a breath taking green meadow. From Auli you finally return back to Joshimath via ropeway which in itself a breath-taking experience. The entire duration of the trek is 4 days.
The entire trail is covered in snow from December to march and since this trek was firstly explored by Lord Curzon during British rule, it is also known as Lord Curzon Trail.
The Glistening forests , the shining bushes, walking among clouds and the stunning view of the lake were the hallmarks of the entire trek. Camping in the middle of a Himalayan forest and the stunning milky way galaxy watching you from above during chilly nights , is an experience that you will never forget.
These wilderness pushes you towards your roots, which is free from all tainted thoughts you have spoilt yourself with. And when you finally get to know what wrong you have done it is often too late.
So travel, trek to these places and see yourself correcting yourself with each heavy breath you take during the ascend.
