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.

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. CANON EOS 1100D 09.01.2021

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...

A Random Lonesome CLiCK!

"The Death of A Day" I apologize for the quality of the picture. My phone camera could not bring out much in such dim light. The sky had taken on a very pale shadow with the evening falling in. On the other hand the monsoon season in this corner of the world had called for shades of some grey. As I looked outside my window that evening, there was this beautiful scenario that gave me chills. I knew I had to capture this moment right away. With this person on the other end of the connecting line, I took the shot. The emotion that was playing somewhere was something kind of like a hiraeth. The end of such a day creeps up from time to time and remain uncalled for, unique in its own way. A perfect moment thus created at the death of a day. Random clicks. REDMI 4A 08.01.2020
