THE HIMALAYAN EXPEDITION

For some, the Himalaya is a frontier against which to test themselves. Others find refuge and tranquility in the mountains, a place where they can seek their selves, perhaps even God. And over millennia, the mountains have cradled civilization itself and nurtured teeming, irrepressible life. 
                   
                          And for me,Himalaya was just an escape- "far from the madding crowd".



                                                 When the beginning of journey is so beautiful..!!


                          ["Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love." ]
 
WHEN YOU LOOK BELOW THE SLOPE..!


[SNOWY TRAILS THAT SERPENTS INTO HEAVEN..]


[SPLENDID VIEW OF THE "GREATER HIMALAYA"]

(Finally TUNGNATH- world's highest elevation Shiva temple.
After  trekking 5-6 kms through snow covered slopes, we reached there.The temple was half-covered in snow and was closed at that time of the year.During Mahashivratri, we went there.

Chandrashila peak (13420 feet)-where moon goddess adorns Lord Shiva's matted locks.

This peak provides a spectacular view of Himalayas, especially NandadeviTrisul, Kedar Peak, Bandarpunch and Chaukhamba peaks. There are various legends associated with this place. According to one of the popular legend, this is the place where Lord Rama meditated after defeating the demon-king Ravana.Another legend says that moon-god Chandra spent time here in penance.The Beauty of Chandrashila is Incredible

       When I owned you 
       You seemed so mortal
      And I was limited by expectations from you.
      Now that you are gone
      My love knows no boundary...
   
    
    And love for you hardly seems to extinguish,
  Time only acts as  wind 
   Rousing the flame further 
  Into the highs where I witness 
   You fading into God...

                                              HERBS OF WISDOM

   Imagination breaks the shackles of horizon....

In deep romance,
My lungs kiss those smoke
and my spirit expands within .

Sinking and soaking though skin
They get into the depths of my neurons.

And suddenly I am able to make
stormy interpolations and
breathtaking interpretations...

                                                TRAP


I don't really fall
in love
With anyone
Rarely I do.

It's true
That I like people.
But love?
It takes a little more.

So, I don't love.

But, in your case,
I guess
I did.

Or you could say;
I could have fallen for you.
There was a chance.

Usually, you'd find me
Avoiding such risks,
For I'm a man,free,
I escape responsibilty,
And, I run away.

But in your case,
I guess
I did stay.

And may be I waited,
Or perhaps counted
Days and months,patiently,
While the smell of your hair,
And the touch of your hands,
And the kiss of your lips
Lingered in my thoughts.

And often i forget
All of that.
But in your case,
I guess I coulldn't
I guess
I have not.

CONFRONTATION WITH GOD


I spent my days wandering over the green mountains
And at nights I return to my room
to sleep by the cliff.
Listening to the sweet gurgling of the stream.

**********************

The mountain and the valley
are already in deep slumber.
The valley got lighted
by nothing but the moonlight.
And the moon got fragmented
Into pieces on the flowing water…
No signs  of civilization
Not even traces in the horizon..

There in  the lap of the mountains
On that  cold night
Above the vivacious stream
I experienced you..

The gigantic iron bridge got lit up by the moonlight..
And something surreal happened…

I looked up at the sky
I saw you smiling.
But no longer you frown me
Nor sympathize me
You want me to come to you
You want me to unite with you....


THESE ARE SOME STILLS FROM OUR TOUR...

    FOR YOU



What stories the heart has woven,
only another heart should hear them.

Slowly,slowly,we enter the misty atmospheres of love.
The shadows of the blue clouds of the dream are deep indeed.
You and I are both lost
Beholding dreams,sleeping or walking
Hushed and amazed...

Its as if sparks flow through my veins,from my head to the feet.
My wits are light and refreshed.
But its as if nothing is under my control now.......
