I went down from the home stay just a quick morning walk, anticipating to catch the sight of stream whose rippling sound was calling me out from the time I reached the stay at dusk. The path to the stream dropped steeply into the valley and was not an easy go. A bird screeched suddenly ahead of me and flew through the blue sky.

I was not alone! I was accompanied by an obedient, poser fluffy dog who made me feel like we were best buddies from our past life because  he was never ferocious with me. He was  gamboling around me and the puddles down the hill as  he knew every single atom in his area. His alacrity energized me even more and boom..!! I finally found  the stream! 

It was a trickle of water and was refreshing. We stood there on a small bridge across the stream rejoicing the water flowing down until I further turned around and my mouth was agape by the mesmerizing scenic of the snow capped mountains in front of me, the beauty which my eyes and heart always crave for eternity.

The Ganges racing between the mountains

The Ganges was flowing untamed. I wish the same way life would have been spontaneous, not alarming about the future or the past, just living and embracing the present! The water was sparkling by the sun gleams encircled and enchanted by the flora. The pace of the river composed s melody whilst pitching on to the rocks over the bank, energizing the heart and mind of the spectators. Over bridge stood there rejoicing the essence of the landscape each moment. Nonchalantly, birds were gliding through the air.  "Nature is serene, you've to be prepared to submit yourselves to understand the ways of it."
