Bloom and glory never are too far behind; as long as I persevered I did find it round the corner.

The longer the winter, the deeper the roots dig for nourishment, the deeper they dig, the longer they sustain before they bloom, and bloom; can be even beyond our own wildest dream of full potential [because; winter always to spring ...right?!] The key I felt lay in the word belief.

The glory the Bodhi tree garden was all too evident now. The more pictures I made the more I felt the joy of enduring the winter of my life. All the following thought also came in as a by-product: How much did I take the winter as suffering and how much did I look at it as training and construction and time to dig deep?

Nothing is a coincidence.  It all happens for a reason. As I collected my study material my friend while handing me over a small bookmark mentioned: every one’s gotten the same. It read Winter Always Turns To Spring. At that moment it dawned on me the glory, the Bodhi tree garden was exhibiting.

Determined not to give up, I braced the new day again with hope. With standing a brief drizzle the Bodhi tree garden greeted me again!

All though [as if] hoping against hope, I wanted to catch the lotus pond in its glory. I will confess disappointment did grip me while I was making this picture.

Ignorance is what I’ll term it now [anyways]. The bareness of the branches surprised me. Honestly, more than surprise I could sense a feeling of not being able to read the writing on the wall... I knew there was something I was missing.

I looked forward to sneaking in as many pictures as possible during the course of time. Little did I know what I was getting to?

Winter Always Turns To Spring

After chasing some worthwhile sunset[s] I did manage to reach Delhi just in the nick of time. As if the nip in the Bombay air was preparing me to experience the fading winter. I myself had gone through a harsh winter, harsher still because I felt it in my heart, however life seems to be surging ahead now at a brisk pace ever since my last visit to the Bodhi tree garden, not so far ago.

Enduring Life: Standing Tall

My India

I have been traveling within India for about sixteen years and even now I get as excited as I used to, way back when I started. It's more fun now 'cause I get to spend time where I want to ;-) [ instead of just being tagged around in the production car]...anyways, back to the point: the more I travel within India the deeper my realization becomes that I as an Indian, has not even scratched the surface when it comes to understanding and respecting the vivid cultures,languages, food, customs, belief...after all as our population is innumerable probably so are our gods ;-).Coming back to the point..[again]..one thing is for sure, within this lifetime ;-0 I will travel to all states and regions[both existing and upcoming]...expand and enrich my life. So...Looking forward to traveling more this year!
