Elemental Munnar - III

Elemental Munnar - II

Manicured Hills, suspended clouds
calm meadows and streams all around

Elemental Munnar

Munnar is simply the most beautiful hill station I have seen down south.

The greens are so much more greener and the clouds soak one up

Munnar is elemental when it rains

Drowned

can hear the rush of water
the change in tempo of sound
as I go down and pop up
they say sound travels faster in water
it sounds very different though
I am drowning I know for sure

I drink some water
my sinuses hurt
have a stinging pain in my head
and am getting choked
the rush to stay afloat
kicking my legs furiously
I am drowning for sure

the water is above my head now
I can see the blue of the sky
I don't hear the screams any more
I seem to be fading away
I don't mind it at all
I have drowned for sure I know

Clean Slate

I remember wanting to bury my differences a lot of times, as a kid. I would fight with someone I really liked and would want to wipe out all ill will and just be the way we were before. One of the lessons of growing up is that there is no such thing as clean slate.
One cannot make a new beginning, past will never let you free. It will always come to haunt you.

Only way out is recluse, to be a hermit. To embrace solitude and feel complete about it.

God have Mercy

Came across this couplet, and so loved it that I had to quote it.....

To farishte poochhenge mehshar mein paakbaazon se
Gunah kyoon na kare, kya khuda rahim na tha?

Trust me, the angels will ask the pious on judgement day -
"Why didn’t you sin? Didn’t you trust in God’s mercy?"
