Travel Diary of A Wandering Mind
What other than Nature can be the inspiration to live, laugh and create? Any moment spent amidst nature makes me happy, and the feeling of connectedness inspires me to get going. And I think this is true for many of us. Love nature, live more. Happy Weekend! 🙂

I have a link up with the moon ever since I was born… ever since my parents kept my name – Moon. 🙂 The moon is cool, calm and beautiful, and I never get bored looking at her. I always wanted to capture her beauty ever since I got my camera. It was just before a full moon the night sky was clear that I found a chance to get up-close with the moon.

There is an old fern in the backyard of our house. It’s been there for over a decade. Dull, unattractive…unattended…uncared for. In winter it looks dry, covered with cobwebs and dust. But one day the thorns on its stem caught my eyes. Some were unusually colorful!

Udaipur city and the palace. The wall divides the frame in two halves – one is the courtyard of Udaipur City Palace cast in the shadow of the palace in the afternoon and the other half is the city, shining bright in the golden light. It can also be interpreted differently – one half of the picture belongs to the imperial and the other half is for the commons. But together they formed a kingdom around five hundred years ago. Most importantly, one half denotes present and the other belongs to the past – a bygone era of valor, success and grandeur.
Pushkar in the twilight. The following picture is one of my favorites, because it exudes the essence of the place. It was a beautiful evening by the holy lake. The reflection of the temples and edifices in the stagnant water of the lake made the vista picture perfect.
It was a warm, sunny morning in Udaipur. We were boating the calm waters of Fateh Sagar Lake. The sky was blue and the sprawling water reflected the shade of the sky so beautifully that it was difficult to understand where the sky ended and the water began until I saw the range of hills in the horizon which split the blue frame in two halves.

It was a beautiful dawn. I could hear the chirping of birds. The golden streaks of morning sun entered my window. I opened my eyes. Oh, it’s a Monday again! I looked out through the window. Something glittering caught my eyes. What is it? Wow…it’s the magic lamp of Aladdin. I couldn’t believe my eyes…no more boring Mondays, no more work… lots of money and only travelling! A Beautiful music was playing in my ear. But suddenly the music stopped. Someone pushed me and told me it’s already 7:30 in the morning. I sprang up on my bed. It was my sister calling me as I had to get ready for the office.
There was nothing on the window. Alas! It was a dream. 😦
Since then I was wondering, if one fine morning I wake up to find Aladdin’s magic lamp on my window…what would I do with it! Well…then I could definitely transform the mundane into something beautiful and exciting with its magical power. 🙂

The relation between the river and the mountain is pretty symbolic. The river with all its gushing waters symbolizes motion – the dynamism of life. And the mountains with their huge, unwavering existence are the symbol of obstacles that we face in life. The river makes its way through the mountains – sometimes it is able to break through the solid rocks and sometimes it bends its path – but never stops until it meets the sea. Together the river and the mountain teach us the biggest lesson of life – keep going until you reach your goal; until the purpose of life is served. There will be problem, there will be obstruction, there will be barrier – but you should learn to make your way through it and move on.

When I was in school Mondays were most boring to me. Going to school on a rainy morning after a happening weekend was the most miserable thing to do. When I saw these little boys walking happily on their way to school even in the incessant rains the sight instantly took me back to my childhood. Those mundane Mondays in monsoons…! 🙂
