My Ask to Mountains

This shot was taken from Bedni Bugyal, Himalaysn Alipne Meadow,
elevated at a height of 3354 Meters in the Chamoli district of
Uttarakhand State of India. It falls on the way to Roopkund near Wan village.
 Magnificent views of Mt. Trishul (elevation of 7120 Meters) can be shot
from Bedni Top. 
Let me be one like you
Oh mighty mountains
Is that a big ask to make ?

Unweathered by the endless storms,
the rainy splash and the lightening flash
You stood tall and strong against all odds
Let me be one like you
Oh mighty mountains
Is that a big ask to make ?

Pink, blue, orange and red,
the sky has endless hues
But its only when a mountain is added
Completes the views
Let me be one like you
Oh mighty mountains
Is that a big ask to make ?

Your love for river has been evident
But it cuts through your heart
And you let her leave you
Only to realize that you have her more
When you let her flow
Exactly the way a relationship should work
Let me be one like you
Oh mighty mountains
Is that a big ask to make ?

    Standing tall and high
    Watching over you from the sky
    Giving birth and not letting them dry
    I guess it is a big ask to make.


    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on himalays, sankalp. <3

Saudi Arabia Through My Eyes

Image
Sitting on my hotel room couch and sipping a self made black coffee at 2 AM in the morning, I decided to pen down about my 6 months long stay in Saudi Arabia in Jeddah City. A lot has already been said and written about the biggest country of the Arabian Peninsula, but today I don’t want to talk about the country’s strict Sharia Law, life of women in the Kingdom, the Wahhabi Islam that is followed in Saudi Arabia or any other controversies and negative opinions associated with this country.    Today I just want to pen down my experience about this country. Closing the eyes towards the political and economical jargons, the issues and luxuries of the elite and powerful, the mysteries and secrets of the holist place of Islam, I just want to show you this country through the eyes of a 26 year old Non-Muslim commoner.    Six months back I got official confirmation on the on-boarding for a new onsite project in Saudi Arabia. A new girl was introduced in my curren...

Life in Indonesia

Image
The view of Mother Krakatoa Mountain from the top of Child Krakatoa Mountain. Intrigued by the fact that travelling teaches a lot, I took up another venture to make Jakarta my home for the next 8 months. So the plan was that I would be travelling to Jakarta initially for a month for the preparatory and assessment phase, come back to India for 2 weeks and then travel again for the next phases of the project. The plan sounded right; It would give me time to know about the country, weather, food and people and help me pack my stuff for the longer stint in a better way. It was a Yes from my side. I was ready for the new experiences in the world’s biggest archipelago country, Indonesia. Finally the ticking of clock came to an end and I boarded my Malaysian Airlines flight. During the transit period at the Kuala Lampur Airport, I made sure to check out the airport and the duty free shops (always my best activity to kill time at the airports).   I was stunned by seeing the num...

How Reviews Are Shaping Your Business

Image
In olden days when communication technology was still not accessible, businesses relied on "Word-Of-Mouth" publicity , which was considered more credible than conventional advertising. Relate that word-of-mouth publicity to the modern day online review platforms such as Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor, Zomato, JustDial, etc. which are driven by customer generated content. With internet, word-of-mouth got wings to fly and reached every palm which holds a smartphone. Today, whether it is booking a movie ticket, selecting a restaurant or hotel, purchasing a gadget, or even selecting a hospital for a planned surgery, we all look for reviews before we make a decision. The Jio effect and the telecom and mobile revolution in India have made internet so handy and affordable that it has actually helped us go one step further in digitalizing our economy. With this ease of internet accessibility it is no wonder that people value online reviews and feedbacks like never before. A r...
