: don't have a face. They have an amazing story to share. Incredible bonding to develop. Lot of thrill to experience. Lot of friendship, craziness and fun time. More important , destiny to reach and a long way to travel.

Almost after 10 days of travel together. Moment captured where road splits for two riders somewhere near

After 20 hours of bus journey, first glimpse of the beautiful Kinnaur Valley and Sutlej river. As these areas are prone to landslides bus did not stop so we can enjoy the view. Anyway after one of big stones, landed on our bus roof no one was willing to step out also. Taken from a moving bus. From here the photography picked up. Beautiful landscapes, less crowd and all alone gave me liberty to spend more time in composing and clicking pictures :) Copyright 📷

Nothingness

I have walked a long way to come here
At times bit heavily
At times bit swiftly
Over the time a bit strongly,a bit carefully.
A year ago, an hour ago, a minute ago never would I have planned or imagined to be here.
I don’t know what lies ahead
But maybe I have ‘now’ or a bit more time before it.
And in this time I have, I want to carry the same thought I had while reaching here.
Let me be nobody
Let me be nothing
Let me not weigh down by my ego, by my esteem, by my attachments, by my affections...
Let me not judge anyone
Let me not dwell in the past or ponder in the future
Let me be known by my utility
Let me be kind
Let me be true
Let me be light
Light enough to sail in the winds of the wanderlust
Light enough to be guided by my desires
Fine enough to dissolve in the solitude
Let me be nothing :)

The Hapless leaves
– An Elegy for the victims of the ferry accident in Kochi

Note: view in full screen mode.

It was our first day in Kochi and we were surprised to see all the shops near the Fort Kochi were closed. First I thought they were closed because of the Onam festival. When we asked a local about it? With patched up Hindi & English he told us that all the shops will re-open tomorrow. In afternoon, finally I found a restaurant that was open in that area. Few constables with whom I shared the table with were kind enough me to explain me the reason behind the shutdown. On 26th August i.e. day before, there was an accident between a ferry and fishing boat and around 10 people lost their lives. So out of mourning or protest all shops were kept closed.

I went on with my day, boarded a similar ferry just like other locals were doing it. In afternoon, I was sitting on a bench on the road beside Willingdon island jetty, a body was brought and placed before a house located a few blocks ahead of me. Army personnel who came along were frowning at my camera which I was using to capture something else. One of the local told me it was the body that was recovered from the boat accident.

I could not stop thinking about the incident, around 10 people drowned. For me, may be it was just another news or for the governing bodies it must be just a count of people lost. This was second such incident I came across recently, people dying because some people are too careless or lazy to do their duties. Few days ago in Bangalore a lady lost her kid (who was sitting behind) in an accident with a bus, which happened because she drifted a bit to right to avoid a pot hole. So easily this could happen to any of us. What would have been our reaction?

I felt that almost every person in that area or who has sat in those ferries know they are not safe. Maybe that’s why when I checked the news I was not astonished when I read already 10 accidents had happened in those waters.

In the above article you will find all kind of stuff - no life jackets, over aged boats, fuel leaks, over crowded trips….

What pains is that people who are responsible to maintain this, the civic bodies cannot understand or do the basic things and their carelessness is the reason behind death of someone. Affecting so many people around them. Hope the point of realization for them comes early…..

The Hapless Leaves

We may be one of the thousands
Can easily be ignored
Can easily be forgotten
Can easily be replaced
We do our duty
You are expected to do yours
You be careless & we fall
Helpless
Sometimes one
Sometimes hundred
For few days we cover the ground
Then we are swept away
Your carelessness cannot be the reason for our fall
Just like you I have the right to live my time
Turn brown and gold
Your duty, take it up or pass it
Don’t neglect it
Because the cost of you being careless is just too high.

The Open window bus -

After spending a day in Kochi, Finally on 28th August, I started for Changanassery. While I was waiting for my friends on the Vytilla bus hub, I found it quite unusual when I saw that just like city buses in Kochi, even the state transport bus do not have glass. I did not dwell on it while traveling in the city but no window glass even for the buses that are used for travelling long distances? It was unusual enough to intrigue us into thinking. What would happen when there is rain? Or when it is too windy? Or when it is too cold? As rightly guessed by my friend, when we boarded the bus our questions got answered. There is a foldable shutter above each window which can be pulled down whenever required.

These open window buses are the perfect motif that describe my travels in the past year. By choice or without, most of the travels had been via public transport. While money can allow you to afford privacy and comfort, constraints forces you to share and adjust. During that sharing we develop new bonding and learnings. Public transport have been gateways to many of the experiences I had. More than often when you seek help, a person who even though can understand only 10% of what you say tries more than 100% to help you and that too with great patience and intent. Irrespective of what we have heard about the places through mainstream media & from people around us there is always much more. Because individual viewpoint always differs. By following the small and basic things like addressing people with respect, gratitude, good manners and showing you care goes long way in developing everlasting bonds even with strangers.

In Kerala also, I was overwhelmed by several person I met, the restaurant manager who came all the way down to show us the bus, people who hosted us, friends I made at fort Kochi, the person who gave away his seat so I can take click photos etc. many such memories I will take with me. The deeply embedded science behind the customs of Kerala such as clothing, food, house design etc. is very fascinating.

Just like the open window bus, I have learnt to travel without any filters, with an open and receiving mind, raw, soaked in the weather, moving around like a local. More than often I come back enriched with greater understanding and kindness.
