“You take the colours right from the palette, I say!
You speak of a place within, I gather.
Painter happens to be my soul, ain’t it?
You often have a say with the silence.
Such myriad colours you adorn yourself with
And glare at me for treading upon you
I gasp for breath out of exhaustion and astonishment
You sure have ensnared me in your arms”
My heart stopped at its sight
Over and above the clouds
Untouched by the greedy humans
Nurtures the tired souls
Time stands still
Awakening the spiritual call
Intriguing is the silence
Never a song to the naysayers!

As the clouds cast their wispy will
A serene face phases the real and surreal
As humility hums like the bumble bee
One wonders the magnanimity of the marvel
The face faces the serene soul
To evoke an energy so purely powerful
The music mystically enthrals the seeker
And the blissful revelation is revealed!

Well, we were excited and finalized in on September….
Meanwhile, I did check with my traveller friend and he suggested that we do the trip ourselves and that he would help us with the plan…..
“Why not! That’s…

Being on the edge always gives me an adrenaline rush. This trail was mesmerising as well as a bit scary but totally worth trekking through it.


It was a beautiful day at the Tsomoriri Lake at 14000 odd feet. Just as I was capturing the scenic lake, I heard some noises and turned around. I then clicked in the nick of time to capture the running horses.

My soulful treasure: The Mountains, especially the Himalayas!
Days and days pass by,
My love for them stands by.
It is a calling I cannot ignore,
For I long for them forever more.
