The Valley of Dreams !

Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.
-Mel Brooks

Somewhere..in the 'Valley of Dreams'

I've always wanted to be somewhere, somewhere far, far from myself where I can sit and sit to see beyond I could see. Wanted to touch the clouds, get lost inside the abstract existence that one could imagine and here I was. I finally reached the 'Valley of Dreams', the Valley I've always wanted to be in, always wanted to explore. 

That was an early morning. I packed my stuffs that I thought I would need once I was there. And as I approached that city, it slowly started to fade in. My conscious started to tell me, probably, this was it. Came a long way to discover the lone city, the lone valley full of nature, full of silence. Silence that was different, different from usual. Many come, pass through it everyday and very few notice eyes that stare. The eyes of the valley that stare at you and ask, what are you here for. 

Here for ?? That's probably an odd question but yes, it stared. Stared and asked me 'why was I there for? I had no choice regarding not to ask myself and then I realized, I couldn't come up with a satisfying answer. Maybe I was there to discover, to discover the one that's been within for many long years.  

I'm a stranger, as always. Been a stranger and that's my identity since long. Stranger who has been a stranger to the ones who've loved him. So, here I was, in solitude and with a hope that I'll discover things. Things that'll cherish myself for long days ahead.

I see Michael Jackson in him !

Another Journey and some interesting stories, views and thoughts. Life's on the wheels : )

A home by the hill

Couldn't pass by so I had to stop and capture the view. The home stands out among others and I imagine, how the people living there would feel to get up every morning to witness a pure nature.

A cuppa tea and some eggs !

Highways offer variety. Variety and combination that you could hardly imagine in a regular life. Well, a cuppa tea and some eggs ain't that rare combi but thought of recommending you people to try this out if you're venturing through Nepali Highways.

I see Michael Jackson in him :p

The boy was happy. He made sure that he was smiling when I was taking his pictures. A cheerful soul and a MJ fan  : p

Eat, Drink and Be Aware; Nothing else !

Sadhu SitaRam watches vehicles pass by.

Journeying through Highways has become one of my favorite hobbies lately. I ride. I ride through valleys, cultures, places and meet people. Meeting people and sparking a conversation is fun. Fun because then you get to know different insights. Insights about life, journey and perceptions.

I met Sadhu SitaRam around a week ago. He was babbling about almost everything I could imagine. He had answers for commodities, education and wealth. I could only smile while listening to him. I had a long journey ahead so I decided to conclude the talk by asking, 'what's life?'. 

'Eat, drink and be aware; nothing else', Sadhu SitaRam shrugged. Maybe he's right or I don't know.

I noted his address to send him his photograph. His journey towards Pashupatinath and then somewhere he doesn't know left me thinking all my way..........!!  

'...between these two unknowns', says Sadhu SitaRam !

Birth and death; we all move between these two unknowns.

I didn't know he loves to choreograph his own pose; sometimes  : )

P.S. These snaps are due to Sadhu SitaRam.

(Update: The snaps were mailed to Sadhu SitaRam. Hope he finds them, finds them soon, finds them in good health)

Posing for a portrait !

I was wandering around with one of my very good friends when we came across this bird. After few sips of a locally made tea, we decided to chase this bird. Chase it for pictures, reactions and probably 'a nice portrait'.

Figuring out a portrait is a daunting task. Portraits are always challenging because you need to work out on the background of the 'to be Portraited' fellow. And figuring out this bird's portrait was even worse.

We were laughing, crawling, bending and doing every possible thing to get a nice shot. And along the way, it kinda started feeling different. Besides, the people around felt weird too I guess. After all, it was just a bird and we were stupids.

Stupid enough to chase a bird for a portrait and then trying to figure out 'what the heck was it thinking'..

So, we came up with some possible 'other side thoughts'. 

You can add yours in the 'comment box' and let us know something we might have ignored while chasing 'stupid adventures of a human mind'.
