In the lap of Himalayas...

Who knows the future and predict destiny? Well it's fresh start for the day every morning. Let's explore the relatively unexplored places.. 

Have a look to a beautiful journey 

We wished to have a short break in the summer, places which must be adjunct to nature, relatively cool and exciting new place. There was lots of suggestions but one of my known person told this place.

Honestly,  1st impression was like "ye Kaun si jagah h" (which place is that), but he showcased some of his pictures during their visit. They have had local experience about mountain and the culture as their native place was Dehradun, capital city of uttarakhand and admirable city I witnessed.

Well, we belongs to flat regions and has no connections there for local guidance. So we opt for tour and travels option. Place we are going was Chopta - Tungnath and travel agent offers Delhi to chopta to n fro option.

 Opportunity knocked to us for exploring but we have fear of unknown co Travellers.

Pleasantly in late April when entire mid and south India was roasted by 🌞 sun we are going to chill out expecting the snow atleast surrounded to that place. As a dreamer, lush mighty mountain covered with lots of snow, with this dream we reached to the point where we are going to unite with other people.

It's Friday night are we met trip captains and other companions, who knows with whom, memories are waiting for us. Delhi is famous for its winter as well as its summer and we are sweating in night. Thanks to travel agent who gave air conditioner bus for our journey.

Travel start with formal hello hi and soon turned into a blissful joyful atmosphere where everyone was singing gigling dancing ofcourse we all are enjoying. We (me & my wife) accompanied with 20 other people who were totally unaware about each other's culture and nature.

We passed beautiful holy places haridwar and rishikesh on bank of river Ganga. Once we thought, these are worthy stops and we should admire beautiful, aggressive but calm composed Ganga here in either cities but when sun rises, and we witnessed "sangam of Mandakini and Bhagirathi" at Dev prayag. 

Both rivers are opposite in nature, one is aggressive, produce noise other is calm , soft. Meeting together to form Ganga and resembles both nature in it. Morning was never expected like this and never admired. But the peace and holiness can be felt only when you witness.

 Mesmerized by Ganga and its nature.

Our next stop is our staying place that is in the lap of Himalayas,  where we saw greenery,  glimpse of snow mountains and feels like underneath mother's care. Soothing to eyes, refreshing the body and peaceful to soul. That's Chopta, a small village in uttarakhand, where expecting with life is little and giving to mankind is huge.

 I learnt a lesson, nature gave us alot... and every kind creature on the  planet is always giver not at receiving end. It may be super power (God), or nature, or mother or famous personalities.

Anyway, it's temporary home and our interest here was Tungnath, the highest temple of lord shiva and considered as one of 5 kedar.

Tungnath is 4 km trak but 12000 feet steep surrounding by Himalayan mountain ranges. Shiv devotees recons one of the purest destination for "tapasya" and temple build by recognizing one of the pandav (ancient Hindu culture,  Mahabharat yug) devoted for lord shiva here in ekant (isolation).

It seems people let you afraid of the situation and sometimes it's our decision to leave or to go. Yes, it's a difficult track yes we have to be hydrated agreed not every one can go but we did  by being slow and steady. Misconceptions made us to choose lot of weight on backpacks including 4 litres of water and some snacks but honestly it was foolish decision to carry as everything was available. 

As you know oxygen level on high hills and cool climate may affect you but the views or mesmerizing nature sceneries never let you down and the atmosphere at Tungnath temple worth it for pleasant and relaxing after high stepping.

Mostly people add 1 km and 1000 feet elevation towards Chandrashila to admire the beautiful view, we couldn't do it. One thing that I understood that company can encourage you to climb higher and higher which may be dream of many but alone they can't achieve enough weather it's on mountain or in life. Situation demands a companion and I respect all those who encourage us to reach Tungnath Mahadev and let us explore admire the beauty.

While returning,  we observe that we achieved lots of elevation. It's never east to step down in fast forward mode but slow and steady is key here too. Reaching back to camps and then to Delhi with now newly known people was an fantastic experience. Yes, we had laughter, encouragement and fun together to admire most beautiful places across the globe and worth to visit.

Cheers to the company and unforgettable memories together.

Change is the only constant

I wonder, how situation enforce you to adapt alter lifestyles. No one prefers a "change", in any aspect of living. But we forget that "change is the only constant in this world". Each of us would like to follow "Newton's law of Inertia", living in a comfort zone. In hindi "jaisa chal rha hai, chalne do". Still scratching my head,

 Newton's law is only for physics?? A big no I would say because the perspectives we feel, we observe and we live is somehow connected with different principles. Some came from science,  some from environment, few from socioeconomics etc etc. Sometimes it feels like these researchers are astrologers and predict what goes on...

Anyways,  back to inertia. Being comfortable and living with comfort is a modern desire and almost everyone is running after it. Desires, an endless thing which actually increases day by day, knowingly or unknowingly. It lasts till we lasts.

Back to an Era, like people who saw real struggle to make our life easier are crazy about this inertia. They notice every change, admire those in others but remains in their own shells. If a chicken has to born, he has to break egg. You can't expect, chicken without a broken egg. Similarly, you can't expect your desires to be turned true until you put little extra efforts. Sometimes efforts are not turned into results but it's important that you are improving day by day.

A man with his family living a smooth life, at someday something, situation turned out and twist you like water from wet cloth for drying. Increase in workload, clashes with seniors ends up frustration on family. You may think it's natural but never notice what kind of situations they going on. May be kids are bullying by school mates or may got wrong company. Ofcourse they are not matured enough. This increases pressure adding on debates with your own family.

Sometimes life is curse, where you became crazy in dealing indoor and outdoor situations, whether you can or you can't handle. This makes you a good human being or a bad example. But the thing is, that man wasn't prepared for change in his life. He can't think of situation may induce people around him too. It's easy to judge someone but hard to put yourself into his position. Yeah! Same shoes doesn't fit to all but shoes can be modified to fit.

Change is the only constant. Prepare accept and move on.

success is just a next attempt of failure.

Acceptance is the key and success is just a myth. Reasonably, you paid price of your hard work, commitment and still being in the radar of your own companions is just like you are entering into elections from different parties despite of being in same family. This story tries to explore those pains, every human feels in a life.

A boy from a decent family. Childhood spent in between demands and restrictions. Not well verse with contemporary learning patterns of that Era, schooling went on average grades. During those days, he had stubbornness and arrogance regarding his nurturing and belief. Who knows in that age where when and how to stop at which point? Lots of "w"'s and it is the Damm truth of every kid even now. These ingredients made an "individual " labeled as situation induced experiences. Boy had a small circle, where he has definate likes and indefinite dislikes. Ofcourse non diplomatic and yelling bitter truth into his head with not grudges in heart. Speaking harsh made your group definate and fan following is solely depending on your scores in exams. Unfortunately,  he had none of these, but has courage to fulfill dreams and smartness to learn in different way. Where do you find these qualities with a sense of humor, truly humanity and trustworthiness in combination of ability to speak truth in front and kind enough to help. 

Years went off neither an attitude nor exam scores changed. Yet a growth prominently popping up for him at very end of schooling. People start admiring his efforts that not turning into scoring.

Struggling for best but when you can't get make best what you have. Nothing comes for free not even failure. You have to pay time, money, energy or struggle to get something but achievement (whether successful or failure) is being highlighted.

Somehow, he managed to enter a college. Things have begin to change. Learning is now becomes change in perception. Perception that matches with dreams and that too visualizing. But, exam scoring still an issue even let him down as a failure. 

Life was going in another way and seems like zero again. Initial point is still missing boy thought. He was thinking he is putting putting enough to become successful but best is yet to come...

A Wiseman says, success is just an next attempt of failure 

And that miracle happened with him. His thinking became more clear, his learning is after struggling alot, justify the pattern he loves.

Knowledge gives you humbleness and experience provides you filtering abilities to become smart.

People admire you, follows you but friends are still .... very few. When you show mirror and speaks truth, believe me, hard to digest. Almost everyone around you are the companion of your journey, saw your ups and downs but never realize abilities are different. You have been judged with a lucky charm or favorites or bla bla bla but your struggle remains to your true circle. That struggle was a true payment against your accomplishments and one must think upon.

That circle continues for long despite being separated by career or family or ambitions but spirit remains. It's easy to reach at the top but pain is you still being judged by those who didn't put enough to be at same page. Yes, luck, efforts, support system and most importantly temperament wasn't same for all.
