A Peak from the Roads of Dooars : Down the Off-side













"THE LITTLE TOWN MIDST THE WOODS"

 The journey at Dooars brought little its and bits along with it as we started ascending the foothills of the great range through the deciduous foliage. One of those cherishable recollections was this small town midst the woody ranges. 
We had to halt at this area in order to reach our destination. At the marketplace of this town which is also supposed to be the last place where network is available, the rest of the trip is supposed to be with dead phones until you again retrieve back to the spot. Since, we did not have a charted plan to roam around, we instinctively decided to take the short hike towards the Buxa Fort from there which is around 5 km down the hilly road. The clicks of hiking towards through the forest and the mesmerizing beauty of the woods is in the last post of the 'Dooars Diaries'. 
A bit off-side from the busy route, amidst the forests, rests this small metropolis with its people living in harmony with the surrounding beings. Accepting the in-between interventions the occupants and the forests holds trust towards each other. There lies an immutable bond that the dwellers of this little town shares with the encircling mountains and woods. The unspoken binding between the two for over generations remains unaltered.

"CLiCK!"

              'Click!', the shutter goes off. I don't know what the sound of a shutter going off does to you, but to me it creates an insatiable feeling from inside that provokes me to live in "a" moment, a bit more closely. The lust for capturing the glimpse of an unrequited moment is kind of an addiction to me. Photography is something to me what morning coffee does to you or when the soft breeze touches your skin and piercing through it sways every nerve of your body. It is something through which I feel a bit more alive rather than just breathing. It is like I am born and reborn through that "one" shot of the camera. I find a new life in every picture clicked. I can crawl, I can roam around, I can fly and not care about anything but that particular instance and relive it once more for a split of a second. It makes me feel free. Through photography, I learn the effortless beauty of an occurrence. As it's said that a picture is worth a thousand wo

Just A Confession!

      This one is not the same kind of blog-post I usually do. This would be some kind of a confession or sharing of feelings. So, you are free to just leave right now and not read about some of my "trivial" feelings these days.        So, as I was saying, now-a-days I often get this feeling of aloofness that it makes everything so difficult for me to understand or concentrate upon or in real words put my head into. To make it simpler, let me give you an example. Suppose I am watching a movie or among a group of friends, I feel so distant from that thing or the people around. It is as if I cannot understand them, I cannot understand what I am watching , nor I can relate to what my friends are talking about. It all seems so different, it is as if just some slides are being portrayed one after the other in front of me and I'm just sitting there not understanding a single word of it. Sitting in silence, sitting in awe, sitting in solitude, sitting like a dog, being alone a
