Source of Beas

 

Inside this igloo shaped structure is the source of River Beas. This structure is just at the Rohtang Pass.

Inside the igloo shaped structure: one can almost hear River Beas gurgling out.

I did not know that Beas Nadi is named after Rishi Vyas. Here, at the source of the river, it is said that he wrote the Vedas.

Atal Tunnel

 

Crossing the Atal Tunnel near Solang Valley, Himachal Pradesh.

Let a leaf go

 

Today, in the breeze,

The trees nodded in agreement,

To let a leaf go,

The leaf shivered and fell.

Fiery and icy end

 

 A man whose name itself was Frost,

Surprisingly said the earth would end

When paying a fiery global warming cost

As an afterthought he said, however,

If it were to die again, thereafter,

In frigid, icy water, all will be lost.

'Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.'

-Robert Frost

When the cut is only one

 

Those that had their heart cut open

Say that the old adage

Works for the heart too:

A stitch in time saves nine.

Sow love in your heart

When the cut is only one,

Sew your heart

When the cut is only one,

For, as the old song goes:

The first cut is the deepest.

God's shade is not enough

 

Sometimes I yearn the shade,

Sometimes I yearn the sun,

Sometimes I feel

God's shade is not enough,

That is the time, sages say,

'You are in the shade.'

सुन चम्पा, सुन तारा

 

सुन चम्पा, सुन तारा,

कोई फीका, कोई गाड़ा,

कोई मीठा, कोई खारा,

कोई जीता, कोई हारा |
