The Power Of Going Slow. BM Day 14




You might have seen such a view if you have ever been to Himachal, Uttarakhand or any mountain area.

When I first saw this view for the first time, I grew thoughtful. I looked up and a small red temple at the top of the mountain caught my attention. How would I reach there? I knew I would but it gave me jitters. Our car moved ahead, reading several 'be careful, be safe' kind of boards. And, after some time, we crossed the temple. It was exciting. Enjoying the loveliness of nature. Vistas so mesmerizing that I skipped my beats.

This is the power of going slow. The roads, dangerous yet safely nestled in the arms of vast mountains (Deep valleys made me icky at times), are elevated gradually, and as we move, we don't even realize when, and how easily we reached there.

Can we reach there if we try to rush, trying to reach there on a whim? Trying to reach there at once?

I thought it's like achievement. Of course there are some people who get things easily but most of the times we need to struggle. Everything needs time. Achieving success demands patience.

When we rush, and try to achieve something immediately, there are chances we falter. Sometimes, we need to go slow. And, then, we won't even realize when we reached the zenith of success!

The Smoke Is Rising. BM Day 10






Clicked these on my way to Gangotri


I watch the raindrops 
Sinking into the lush velvety grass
Swaying little flowers,
Thick mist that shrouds the mighty mountains

Heavy drops turn drizzles
Gentle breeze carries the whiff of nature
Takes the mist away, and the mighty mountain appears
Tall and powerful
Holding the vast sky
Embracing the twisted path safely in its arm
River flowing along furiously
Mounds of clouds
Breaking away, slowly
Look, the smoke is rising!
