Nature - Untamed

It has been almost two months since I have added a new post!!Just a nagging feeling somewhere in an inaccessible corner of mind that life has become monotonous!!!!
But I am sure it is a feeling which needs to be evacuated from wherever it is like all feelings tenuous!!

My work takes me a 100kms up and down!! If anyone is concerned about the long travel everyday!! Oops!! Noooo!! Not to worry!!

The receent days with the monsoon in full swing, have been a pleasure for those of us taking the long drive to work!!

The feeling is almost wordsworthian !!and the ride.... It is simply breath taking!!

Every morning and evening as I drive up and down between my workplace and home, I drink by gallons the untamed beauty of Nature in the countryside. I call it untamed because it is sans the precision and the tamed beauty of Nature as seen in resorts, tourist spots!! It's Nature!! and it is "original"!!

There are not many hills though! The sight which unfolds infront of my eyes everymorning is just acres and acres of green land as far as the naked eye can see!! Water flowing across the roads leaving behind its children the pools and the puddles, the washed trees, the clouds in a hurry as if they are behind schedule, the bougainvilleas climbing all the way up those towering trees to get drenched in the rain,butterflies fluttering across the road - a movement which makes one perceive that they are in the midst of a party attending to the guests around, children walking to school under oversized umbrellas!!
So utterly beautiful!!
My soul has been parched for so long and hit by a devastating drought for years that no matter how long I look at this part of the countryside, My thirst feels almost eternal!!

It is a collosal effort trying to resist the temptation of getting wet, rolling on the grass,playing in dirty water, making paper boats!! because... I'm expected to be a dignified individual!!

I wish all those Nature lovers make a visit to the country side and feast eyes on the Inexplicable beauty of nature before the monsoon fades away!!

I'm lovin it!!

The Regressive attitude!

I was enjoying speeding in my Alto oblivious to everything else other than the exhilarating feeling of watching the road ahead and the beautiful site of the winding roads hugging sometimes paddy fields and sometimes Mango groves! All of a sudden I noticed a car from behind trying to overtake my vehicle and for a while I intended to keep up my speed but then better sense prevailed over me. I moved to a side to give way to the other vehicle! As soon as the car occupants had overtaken me, I saw them giving Hifi to one another followed by a quick triumphant glance– very excited that they had overtaken me! My first reaction was – how idiotic!! During one of those chatty sessions with my colleagues the kind who dole out advices whether you want it or not! My colleague told me that I should stop commuting by my car as it was risky driving such a long distance everyday! He gave me two solutions – to commute by the transportation provided by the organization or to have a driver to drive my car...

The Earthen Pot

I went to a Flea Market a bit unwillingly but then when nephews call to spend time with you, you hardly have a choice. I was supposed to meet them a little early for a Sunday morning but I reached in time. I called one of my nephews only to realize he hadn’t even started from home. He suggested that I go in and look around. I hesitated to take up his suggestion but the greed for materialistic possessions took over good sense and there I was just picking up whatever took my fansy! I infact had no cash with me and so installed PAYTM and paid! Nothing seemed to be a hindrance or a challenge! One prized possession amidst all the junk was a beautiful earthen pot and it had a nice glazed finish to it! I was informed that I could place it on a gas stove too for cooking! I picked it up thinking I had got it at a throw away price! The next morning as I placed it on the stove to make sambhar, I dreamt of the smell of sambhar in the purest and unsullied form wafting through my house! I was ru...
