Leh! Nature in Poetry

The place where the clouds give you company. You feel like floating in the sky. The mountains so high covered with ice so white you cannot believe your eyes for the purity you see. The ice just dissolves as you touch it.  The sun reflects on the white as if there is no bigger Diamond in the world. The river flows with every turn you take never lets you be alone even in the dark. The soft tides and the way it paves the way through the mountains makes you think that it took a turn there too. 

The boulders and the brown rocks accentuate its beauty even more.  The water just so fresh and clean make you cautious that you might not disturb its sanctity. And all the noise you hear is the sound of the water of the river that  never leaves you alone or the swishing of the air which if you had wings would have made you fly and touch the skies.

The roads that demand you to "be slow as I am curvaceous" and to "be gentle on my curves" make you wish that they may never come to an end.  But you come back to reality when you get stuck in a landslide and the water channels which form the gaps in the roads. No doubt you experience the thrills more like being on the edge on every turn. But the scenic beauty is worth it. The Green pastured land in the middle of cold desert makes you believe that even in the adverse conditions growth can Happen. The houses made in a line with wooden panels and Window panes give you a taste of their Tibetan culture.  

The monks or the little kids with their small eyes see you with an expression of "Hey man welcome to our land". They smile or even get arrogant but it's after all their land.  The white pillars and the chanting round Abouts are to be seen in every Corner and also you may find someone chanting their prayer if you are that lucky to have that glimpse. 

The best experience can be achieved when you ride a bike. Get a biker boy for yourself and make him take you to Leh and what will follow is a life in Nature's kitty (raw and crude). An experience which will last for a lifetime and no other experience will be able to suffice for this. You see what you have never seen you feel what you have never felt you are on top of the world (literally) and the world you see is pure and white you just feel like turning your eyes into a screenshot machine cause each view is worth the feel. And what may surprise you is even a place like Leh has a 'night life'. The cafes wali gali, and wo mountain wali coffee is one amazing place to see. You become a part nomad or want to become a nomad cause that is how it plays with your senses. 

The army men or the biker boys will never leave alone.  Residing in the toughest of weather changes and life of minimal amenities the army men are just a call away to help iss desh ki janta. These smart guys play volley ball or take a nature walk in this no man's land but when you need them for they'll be ready with full resources to save you in your hour of need. 

The sensual and meditative effect it leaves on you will be there all your life.  When sitting alone even a mere thought of the place will make you feel the thrills and chills and the world you see will not be your place to be because you left a part of your soul in that place. In that place of the clouds of the snow of the white light of fresh air of Everything which is pure and sanctimonious. (And from where you never want to come back)

When I was in Mumbai

Endless is the sea,
Endless the sky,
Horizon is what I see.

The boats are rowing,
and people are walking to an endless life.
The breezy air is what all I feel.

I keep looking into the sea
And the waves
And the boats
And the people.
The rhythm
the pace
the ups and downs.
Its Mumbai Magic working on me.

A fish so pretty

A fish so pretty!
Swimming through the waters.
And when the sea noticed her,
That she even existed.
She became an apple to be eaten raw and in its crude state.
The way her scales shimmered in the water
She became an item to look forward to.
The big fishes wanted her for company.
The small ones wanted her for fun.
And some wanted to eat her up for she will never be seen at all.
And the fishermen! Oh what about them! They wanted to hook her and fry her till their hunger was satisfied.

Who noticed the glitter in her eyes, the flutter of her tail
The way she swimmed for the water was her world.
All wanted her but none cared to even know her.

Music that makes you wanna scream out loud!

What happens when you listen to music? How does it make you feel? Every person has his or her choice in music but for me music is when I loose myself completely and I am in a state of trance where all I hear is the bass, the treble and the 'dhup chik' of music.  And then nothing exists around me.
Music for me is a mood lifter I am on such a high with power packed music.  Being in car or on a busy Road or jogging or locked in my room nothing curbs my want to dance on it.
These days my hot favourite is Martin Garrix, previously my favourite-ism has been hopping from Avicii to Alesso to Deadmau. But Martin Garrix has beaten them all I heard his "Animals" and it is intoxicating like you feel such a "wow" thing really exists in the world.  The beats and the high and the low notes work so well in the music that you yourself become a wave and just flow with it.
Have you heard of the music festivals that happen across the globe three to four days of complete bliss I mean without being high on anything you can get a taste of heaven. It's once in a lifetime thing to experience it and loosen yourself in the world of music. So many djs and music and all you have to do is to scream and shout and dance.  Trust me! It's an amazing feel.  Without experiencing it I feel so excited about it.
I heard each and every DJ who played at Coachella this year it was simply AWESOME. Just imagine so much of awesome-ness combined with so much of music I mean nothing else to ask for in life! :P

Solitary Star

There is something about the moon which makes me feel connected to it.
Alone in the sky it watches over me.
Sometimes crescent sometimes full it is there to give me light in the dark.
Even though it gets lonely but looking at the moon it seems like I am not the only one.
It follows me home when I drive through the aimless roads.
It is the silver star in the pitch black sky.
I wish to be like the moon even though standing alone it is the brightest star I see.

Curves that complicate them more!

Serpent like ways
Meandering into roads
We wish them to be straight
But the curves complicate them more.




Let Me Be!

Let Me Be in the Dark,
          For Light will Fall upon Me,
Let Me Cry,
          For Smiles will Shower upon Me.
Let Me Be Alone,
          For I will have Him with Me.
