Through The Rain



"AND THEN RAIN CAME IN"

It is the month of June already as we are continued to be in quarantine. In this part of the world, it's monsoon now and so comes splashing every now and then, The Rain.
 I don't really know but this very season is a bit closer to me than the others of the cycle. There's no particular reason I could think of except for the fact that the day I was born, it rained heavily as they say. So maybe it's that or maybe something else but when the rain comes and with it the strange feeling of something that I cannot really express, I suppose, the cold but gentle touch of nature along with the smell of the sky and as it pours down on the city all over and just cleanses her down is what I really look forward to every time. 
As I write this, it's again a cloudy sky outside now and that's the best part of this time.


These are some clicks I took a few days back after quite a drizzle took place. The raindrops fell on the cobweb of my window and created this magical picturesque beauty. They almost look like pearls making an elegant, aesthetic ornament of nature.


The more I talk about rain, the lesser it will be and so I'm signing off here. But before that, this is a song and a tanka used in a movie which is too close to my heart. So, here they go ----
"A faint clap of thunder 
Clouded skies,
Perhaps rain comes,
If so, will you stay here with me?"

The Innocent Whimsicality of Children

  "LITTLE ONES"     Over the years that I've lived, there's one thing that always remains a constant which I keep coming back to because it is worthy of it. The child inside me. Children are like dewdrops. They are truly these beautiful angelic beings who are incapable of nothing. They are themselves the beam of joy and bring the same to everyone surrounding them. They are always mischievous and running about their whims. You can catch them, but can never hold them back. And all the while, if I have learnt something from these little buddies, it has to be "the art of living".  To all of the children out there, take love. Children clicks.

Curious Cat in A Bakery

"The Kulcha Bakery" Once, I came across this little, local bakery in the Kargil city of Ladakh region in Kashmir. I was taking a stroll down the street by the apartment we were staying at the moment after a scrumptious breakfast of roti, sabzi,  and omelet at a busy local store. That is when I saw someone putting up some freshly baked goods in the glass cabinet of a store. I was curious since it was a very small, shady door leading to the dim-lit shop. Nonetheless, I walked right in and what I saw left me amazed. I was kind of flabbergasted by the sight of these beautiful preparations of local bread. I asked the man who was preparing the clay oven which very much resembled a traditional tandoori oven regarding the ready-to-go doughs and came to know them as ' kulcha' . They looked absolutely delicious with sesame seeds sprinkled on top of them. As I was trying to click pictures of these goodies, the man carried on with the preparations. He didn't talk much and con...

Ruins

  "AMIDST LAMENTING" The fundamental idealistic view in Buddhist philosophy suggests that 'everything is momentary'. Although, it is never the reason for them to look down upon life. In fact, they rejoice life to its extremities and even exercise their lifestyle to reach the transcendental goal of existence, as perceived by Buddha.  I am at such a point in life which is quite hard to make meaning of, to go through; more so because there is no one beside me. It does not hurt, though. It would have been a little better if there was someone to go to. Never the less, there is some thing. There is all the knowledge that I have experienced on my own terms since I could make meaning of them. Through everything, I have been alive and taken just the learnings and moved on. Looking back, moving forward - a journey that has never stopped, neither it will today because of me. It is beyond me. Maybe I have to rest for a while, in silence, under a tree. But the journey will continu...
