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 […]
Pleasures of the Wild
Motivation
Photos we live for
Memories make us Humans. And the perfect way we can save all those memories and experience is by taking photos. These photos say thousand words and sometimes they are beyond any language. From distant galaxies to the grains of sand , we have stored all of it in photos . It is a treasure we can give to the coming generations . It is truly our greatest invention.
Happy Photography day to all…
Into The Himalayas
The Buran Ghati trek video out now on my YouTube channel. Please like , comment and subscribe , you will surely enjoy it.
There’s a path which leads you
To the wilderness above.
I chose to walk on that
With my heavy breath.
It will test your will,
Through the forests and hills.
And the cold wind would sing
The song of life and death.
Your sweat and pain,
Will shine with snow.
And your life will glow,
With the beauty above.
Give me your might,
O beautiful Himalayas !
The chaos you’ve gone through,
And the strength to bear all.

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

Sometimes It’s good to Give Up
Throughout our lives we cling onto something, waiting for that thing to give us happiness, success, or something pleasant in return.
But what we get in return? Nothing, disappointment, sadness. Maybe expectations drive us, it pushes us towards our goals, we try hard to achieve that, but in spite of so many efforts we are left with nothing.
Then comes a point of disappointment, grief, frustration because we are still attached with that goal or expectation . This is where we are harming our selves, losing the essence of our lives, we lose our happiness.
This is where we have to give up on those hopes and seek contentment.
The biggest thing in life is to understand the right time to give up on something. When it’s really needed to find our true purpose, to find true meaning of life.
Persevering , until we get exhausted and finally find contentment in our efforts.
Relationships , goals , success, money all stay here when we finally say goodbye. So why so much fuss for the attachments we live with. Give up on all those things that disturbs our stay here in this life.
Maybe this is a new beginning for that….
A Little Greed
Greed is often considered as bad or wrong , in fact it is one of the seven deadly sins we are told to stay away from to lead a better or clean life.
But is it really so bad? I mean it is mostly the driving force of anyone’s life. But again, it can lead to wrong path and could bring chaos.
For instance, if any king or dictator desires absolute power he could bring chaos for the entire world.
On the other hand it can affect the world in a positive way. A person who aspires to become famous through his talent or good work then that greed is good and justified.
If we have a little greed to become or achieve something and work hard towards it, if everyone becomes active that way, renouncing laziness, it could do wonders for an economy.
I mean excess of everything is harmful and to lead an active and balanced life we should drive ourselves with Little Greed .
There is importance of both negative and positive energy in our universe. What brings balance or makes life possible to thrive is the balance of both energies and not the excess of any one.
The Colours of Life
Life draped in colours,
Shines with every breath,
Beats with unwanted grief,
Paints a bigger picture,
And those who see it
Through their soul,
Truly fulfil a greater purpose
In the scheme of cosmos.
An order in the great
Chaos !

Life is not only sufferings but also the pleasures we embrace in the form of Colours of Life.
The memories of good times with our people , our presence in the shelter of nature, all of it fill our life with colours like a beautiful painting evoking emotions that touches our soul.
In fact, life is all about enjoying the magnificence of colours through our eyes, which is only possible if we stay in the moment and enjoy every second we are gifted with.
Happy Holi to all …
Where is his Heaven?
There’s a drought of hope,
And only sufferings bloom ,
With the blood of the innocents,
In the middle of the war!
A soldier lifts his bruised head,
From the rubble of his land,
Which was once a paradise,
Now a barren land of chaos.
His dreams soaked in tears,
His sufferings healed with smoke,
He limps for his motherland,
He lives and fight for his motherland.
Where is his heaven?
Maybe, deep inside his soul
Reside the love of his people,
Though his body walk on embers,
But his soul Is already in paradise!

Reasons We Live For
Beauty of nature stops alluring him, money becomes useless to him, pleasures of every sort feel like a curse to him, do you know why? Because he has only few days to live, he is suffering from a rare disease, he doesn’t want to wait to suffer more, he wants to die right now.
But wait, something stops him , he is hit by a magical charm . He can see those brown eyes , that shined like pebbles touched by divine hands. Those eyes chasing the flight of a bird who wants to fly high, those eyes chasing dream and is now watching at him. His little child, his life that will continue to thrive even after his death.
And so he has to live for his kid, his beloved, his people who love him, who depend on him , who are his only solace in his world of sufferings, the reasons he should live for. He has to prepare them , giving them wings ,so that when his time will come they would be ready to live without him .
Life continues to wander in confusion until sufferings come and the reasons become clear.
All the material things which we achieve or aspire to achieve give nothing but momentary joy that vanishes as soon as we face the real test of life, sufferings, failures, losses.
Broken, Persevere, Rise
Broken
You’re knocked on the anvil,
Blows after blows until you break
Into pieces or crushed into powder,
Until your dreams bleed to death !
Persevere
Pick your pieces and hold them
Together with your sweat,
Lift your head and crawl on earth, But
never give up until you lose your breath
Rise
Muscles creaking to reach,
The greatness hidden beneath!
Your ‘Will’ forged in fire of Belief,
No Pain can melt man of steel!
