Finding joy in the simplistic pleasure of life is

Finding joy in the simplistic pleasure of life is what this #lockdown has taught me ..Joy of experiencing the beauty of my backyard .. a walk through the paddy field , sitting by a pond full of fishes , breeze on my face as I whisk pass the rural landscapes ..
.
With #Bengal announcing another strict lockdown enforcement in coming days . I have realised , yet again that what is it to live and roam freely in the open ... to walk mask free out in the human less scapes ..But then with cases only rising upward, guess we have to go through another spell of lockdown in the coming days .. we got to do what we got to !
.
.
In my happy space of mind, here's wishing all of us more resilience and some more tolerance , if I can wish and HOPE !

Eeeeeeeeeee!!! Hello Monday , but you are not as fun as sunday which it was :)
.

While,this was another sunday which was all about lunching in the rural, dancing in the rains, clicking in the ruins all while driving into the absolute rustic Bengal . So, this time explored another hidden gem of Bengal #Narajole rajbari which dates back as old as 600 yrs giving a glimpse of yet another example of dilapidated heritage of Bengal.
.
.
The more I explore in the rustic charms of Bengal, more I get to believe that how beautiful is my state and also so underrated . While #wbtourism has not really taken much efforts to get highlighted on a national radar but I guess atleast for me , what I foresee is to really step up and explore more in my backyard every now and then.
.
.
Ofcourse, taking adequate safety and distancing measures will all be considered at all times ..
.
.
Btw, the best part was, not a single soul were around in the place I visited ..

Minglaba Mandalay! . . Wrote a comprehensive guide

Minglaba Mandalay!
.
.
Wrote a comprehensive guide on #Mandalay about why the city is not to be given a miss while in #myanmar, the link is in bio ... I am the happiest when I get the chance to explore the city , like a local...
.
.
The idea of exploring a new city always fascinates me so much so that I prefer to eat like a local, dress like a local and infact try to imbibe the spirit like one too.. It's actually fun to be just me in a pool of people ( careless and unkempt about how I look most of the times ) .. sometimes , I get a sense of belonging in the company of strangers in a new land ..
.
.
How about you ? Do you resonate with this as well ?

July is hot afternoons and sultry nights and mornings when its joy just to be alive. Where gin and tonic takes over Rum and cola , when icy melons slush makes it over hot chocolate fudge ..

July! You are a blind date with summer.

One such morning on the shores of Bay of Bengal .

So, the other day I headed out for a short drive unplanned around Bengal . And these were some of the actionable measures of safety that I adhered to .
.
- Understanding of the area, one wants to explore whether it comes under containment zone or red zone, then to clearly avoid that .
.
- Opt for a day out trip instead of overnight stay anywhere , even though hotels have opened , but my recommendation would be to avoid it for some time atleast .
.
- Going for Cashless transaction into tolls while on road . Understanding that #Bengal highways still have an option of cash or Fast-Tags but adhering to contactless transaction is highly recommended .
.
- To avoid outside food / water at all cost which instead grab an opportunity to go for a picnic kinda day out with home cooked packed food .
.
- Mask on at all times , however I took it off for sometime as prolong usage also makes it a bit claustrophobic . But doing so one needs a distancing at all cost .
.
- Lastly , Sanitize , sanitize and Sanitize as much as possible wherever one has got exposed to any external contact. ( Place, object, human ALL for that matter)
.
However, it is generally been advised to stay put for now and avoid travelling . But, with these basic mandate of safety which will be and has to be regulated in all our lives henceforth be it during covid or non covid times .. I guess we should be able to embrace the #Newnormal .
==================================================

So I am back , yet again !! Tell me how have you

So I am back , yet again !!

Tell me how have you all been ?
.
.
After a brief hiatus from the gramming world ... Thank you so much for all the love and patience which was showed, off the platform by all those who have always supported my journey.
.
.
Was working on self a bit and trying to focus towards channelizing my energy into meaningful things .. Honestly, wouldn't brag about what all things have I achieved ? Because I was doing nothing extraordinary to talk about it .
.
.
But, even a daily routine seemed more meaningful when I didn't have the burden to bring it up on social media ....
.
.
So elo July , will be happy to see you in a more positive way ❤️❤️

Somehow right now, I just want to stand there feel the stillness and richness of the silent flat ocean ...May be a lull before a storm , may be a calm before agitation ..Who knows what's next ! .

Taking a moment to pause, breathe and declutter my mind with all the noise happening ... Peace ✌️

Blast from the past !
.
Today my memory rewinded about 9 years back, reminded me of the best moments shared with my Bestie's . This was one such moment during monsoons we spent wandering in the Western ghats . I remember back then, I flew off to Mumbai for two to three consequtive years just to see her. And invariably I used to land in deep monsoon time somehow. But, never regretted this fact because when the moments and intent was far more stronger than any unfavourable circumstances , hence small glitches didn't matter .. .
Infact, so much so I loved wandering through the inundated mumbai streets , riding in the torrential rains in the dense foliages of Goa or feeling the spell of rainfall in evergreen lush Lonavala . .
Oh how much I love the effect of nature which yield positive effect on us . Be it sunshine , rainfall , snowfall or moonlight .. A deep gratitude to all the fond memories of appreciating the nature !

In the world of monochrome, to bring out the eleme

In the world of monochrome, to bring out the element of depth , black plays an equally important role as that of white because together it brings out the depth of frame.
.
Likewise , in art or photography per say , right use of negative space is very important to highlight the positive space which is the subject in the frame .
.
.
Hence, Juxtapostioning of black and white or rather negative and positive is equally important to complete the dynamics .
.
That being said, a question pops my mind that if that is the relevance, then in this humane world, who are we in our capacity to judge of who is in majority or who is in minority . Is it really logical to even differentiate someone on the basis of his/her colour ?
.
The entire debacle always makes me go think deep that why on earth do we even differentiate the entities on the basis of their attributes, who are infact made up of same flesh and bones ..
.
.
Hence, Not only #blacklivesmatter I would rather say #alllivesmatter .

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed
With which we have agreed

You think you have to want
More than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me .
.
And, suddenly these words by Eddie Wedder from my all time favorite song "society" evoked all those emotions which were waiting to surface .
.
.
Society indeed a crazy breed !

Somewhere between the happening and not so happeni

Somewhere between the happening and not so happening life that we have been through all this lockdown months, I realised we have had the tremendous potential to forebear and push through our limits to understand and bring out the best version of ourselves in order to stay sane in these pressing times.. .
Like in terms of stepping up on creativity , honing skills ,scaling our learning curve upward, bringing out unique ideas to prove either ourselves or to the world that I can ,you can and we all can !! .
.
While, all this is been done, I realised the importance of honing the skills of being a basic human, or let's just say feeling empathetic with the misery around or rather putting genuine thoughts across .. a willlingness to think and be concerned about the ongoing issues around is also a step towards a better realisation , I would say . We might not be always be able to put them into actionable mode but atleast a united collective thoughts towards a better future can also bring visible results . Don't you think so ?
.
.
Hence, to all those who have been trying to hon their skills into becoming a better human first than any other skills . I would say from my deepest core of my heart , that YOU are doing great ..and World needs more empathetic thinkers like you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
.
.
To self and to all ~ Hobo mind on a happy quest .

The courage to be yourself in a world constantly trying to shape you is my personal definition of power.
.
.
Courage to face defeat or setbacks
But also the courage to have the ability to address the cause is what defines to being strong..
A courage to be just you , and yourself .. A courage to have a belief in what you are is what defines to be YOU ! .
Be unique and be you ☘️

We humans seek refuge in the arms of nature which

We humans seek refuge in the arms of nature which is unnerving , warm and unbiased to any lay man. When the complex minds and deluded thoughts try to host a self pity party amongst countless different other minds , it just creates ripples of more pity , negative thoughts and may be ignorance against the light of positivity . .
.
.
.
And, here's where mother nature comes into play telling us that it's ok to faulter, it's ok to withstand storm of obstacle , it's ok to face failure and it's ok to be disappointed in order to rise up and to feel alive again. .
.
.

As long as you are correct with the intent of aligning yourself with the law of nature. Good times will come back . As long as you do your part and keep the flame of positivity alive , the joy will manifold . It's the manifestation of the law of causality into our lives which yields the effects accordingly ..Good causes will bring good effects and great causes may bring conspicuous benefits . .
Just do your part ....just!!!!

No, mountains are not calling, if..
.
We cannot appreciate the simplicity and rustic nature of life .
If we do not savour or rejoice a simple meal of daal chawal at home for days ..
If cannot keep our own environment clean ..
If we keep spoiling our own front by contributing to unnecessary noise, air and water pollution. .
.

No, mountains are definitely not calling , if ...
We cannot learn to soothe our senses by our own backyard sunrises or sunsets ..
If we cannot even hear the cuckoo of birds chirping in our surrounding every morning evening ..
If we cannot keep our emotions calm, to brace any obstacles which come our way .
.
.
No, mountains are definitely not calling, if
We cannot appreciate the sound of silence, up there or inside our own minds .
.
.
Late realisation witnessing the present day calamities .. If it is nature's way of scolding us , then so be it !!
