Me & a Gypsy Soul...

One 'gypsy' soul; absorbed by the forests of Amazon, dry and rusty terrain of the west, nights in the desert, wolves of Alaska, monasteries of Tibet and rains of Cherapunji; wishes to live it all in a single lifetime.

Maktub!

Sunrise


Normally I go to sleep at around 3 in the morning, but today I was awake till 5 and realized the world around me has started stirring with the sense of a coming day. I and my friend decided to go out and have a cup of tea at a roadside hotel which opens in the wee hours. In the darkness and cold we went to the hotel, had 2 plates of 'garam bhaji' (pakoda) and tea. By this time the first light had fallen on the soil…well not exactly, it was still in the sky...cold air, aroma of soil mixed with that of green leaves and dew, layer of fog fallen on the bushes and trees. It was just amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful and spectacular morning before. The sun was yet to rise; I decided to capture the magnificence of the morning and tender orange flames before sunrise. I urge you to have a look at it - "Sunrise. November 26,2005" .
Do try to catch the sunrise from wherever you are, it comes live everyday. You may have to make an effort to get up that early.. Or try my way, go for a walk before you go to bed...
