Chopta Tungnath Chandrashilla - Gateway to the Photographer's heaven.!

WOW ! I would like to make my house here!   That was the first thing I whispered having reached the summit.  I sat there on the edge of the cliff in peace, mesmerized by the beauty. For couple of minutes I froze myself to stare at the unending layers of blue hills. I was High, High by 4000M. I looked as as far as i could with my eyes wide open and tried to grasp as much of the landscape as i could without blinking.  Its 2 year since then, still feels like yesterday. In these 2 years I have visited this place thrice, witnessing a different picture each time.  I have seen this place transforming from a snow beauty to green Meadow. I have seen a clear blue sky showering snow and ice balls and Milky Way dancing over mountains, after moon set.  The moon set as seen from the peak of the chandrashilla truly signifies its name. Out of all, standing at an elevation of 3600 m on a cliff and experiencing the drift of wind mixed with snowflake...

   "Nature is the best painting" I replied to a gentleman for a question regarding best painting in the world. He nodded and smiled.   No doubt artist and their fabulous arts have mesmerized mankind ever since the art revolution. But no one could match the captivating power of nature. We happen to live on the giant canvas of this masterpiece and all we need to do is, observe and enjoy.  They say the earth is round;backpack everything for that endless last move and you might reach that same place sooner or later. But for many of them, it is a bizarre passage with an unfathomable end. They are always ready to hit the road and pound the pavement, with that irresistible urge to unfold all the mysteries, and get hands on that secret hidden treasure.

सेहरा में खोयी थी धरती प्यासी रोई थी कोहराम ये हरगाम हुआ माँ तेरा क्या अंजाम हुआ ? लपट चली थी सरपट सरपट प्यास भुझि न पनघट पनघट आँचल तेरा बेजान हुआ माँ तेरा क्या अंजाम हुआ ? व्यथित हुआ है जीवन सारा निज मंथन में पथिक भी हरा सावन क्यों अंजान हुआ माँ ऐसा क्या संग्राम हुआ ??

अजब मंजर है , देख दुनिया बनाने वाले तेरे दर पे खड़ा हूँ , मैँ और मुझको सताने वाले ! किस से उम्मीद लगाए , अब नदिया पार लगने वाले खुद ही डूब रहे , जब कश्तियाँ बनाने वाले !! किस तरफ जाएं , वो मुसाफिर कहलाने वाले राह खो बैठे है , सब राह दिखने वाले !! अलफ़ाज़ न दे ज़ख्मों को , ऐ ग़ज़ल सुनाने वाले जख्म - कारी करते है, सब ज़माने वाले !!
