  • Beaches are bae!

    Beaches are bae!

    Mother nature is one of the biggest creative powers I have ever witnessed. And the scale at which she creates is enormous! Massive mountains, vast oceans, beautiful forests, roaring rivers. List goes on. Each of these landforms is a masterpiece in itself. And yet, for me, beaches are bae! Today I don’t recollect the first memory of my beach visit. However, the connection I feel about these ocean-fronts is quite strong.

    Today when I woke up to a beautiful view of the Arabian sea from my resort, this love was revitalized in a moment. As soon as I was done with all morning chores, I was out on the beach inhaling all that ocean smell, feeling soft sand between my toes and clicking photos. The day was full of ocean views as we visited the Korlai Fort Lighthouse and evening was spent again on the Sasawane Beach which is almost in our resort’s backyard. Here are some of my favourite clicks of the day!

    The connection is not just limited to the photos or my experiences. Oceans and beaches have been part of my creative journey too. They have visited some of my poems and stories. I would like to conclude today’s post with a few lines. Do let me know if you also enjoy the ocean and beaches as much as I do!

    पायाशी येती लाटा,
    फेसळून त्या फुटती
    पण माघारी वळताना,
    नाजूक काढती नक्षी.

  • Another journey begins…

    Another journey begins…

    When I registered for this year’s April A to Z, I was excited to embark on this journey. I was actively trying to work out some kind of theme for these 26 posts. But life happened. Since registration, till today I couldn’t manage to pull any theme out of my hat. And today, I am writing this one sitting in my room in one of the Alibaug resorts.

    The day started with a long six hour drive from Nashik to Alibaug. The drive was pleasant in general if we ignored  a bit of boring Mumbai region traffic.

    Evening turned out to be adventurous. It showed me a mirror as a climb of 5000 ft to Kanakeshwar temple got the better of me. I could climb only about 4000 ft before my fitness reached its limit. I feel awful looking at my current fitness level. I am mentioning this so that  it will act as a social commitment for my own improvement.

    However, this doesn’t mean those 4000 ft were not worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed the climb. Here are a few of the glimpses from the adventure.

    There’s one more thing which I am doing for the first time. This blogpost is written using a Jetpack mobile application for WordPress. So far, the experience is good. Maybe, “Mobile Blogging” could be the theme for this year’s A2Z. Let me know in the comment if this is a good idea or what!

    See you tomorrow. Till then, happy blogging.
