Munnar - Tea Estates, Mist, Clouds - Stuff that dreams are made of !

Each moment laden with Spoonful natural misty cool palpable air, homemade chocolates, unfathomable beauty of Tea Estates - is a summary of our 2nd day at Munnar.

Well glided  meadows of tea valleys, look like cushions on which u can jump and slide and bounce and intake all that's good of this beautiful place. They are all around you infact thats what munnar
is - a conglomerate of Tea Estates.

Rajamalai was the highlight of the trip.This being our first stop we instantly fell in love with the place. One should reach here max at 9 AM to avoid the crowds and enjoy the beauty of the place.




Nature here talks to you. Mists blowing all around, Fog shrouded sky,Pestering u to look outside. You must turn outward not inward - it says.

Do not get sucked down the vortex that holds your mind and soul in shackles. You must look around breathe in and breathe out. For
This is luxury. Not thinking about self but others.
Nature persists u to be non selfish.

Nature speaks as below -
Think about me , the unfathomable yield from my reserves take it. But take it slow else I might overwhelm u with love , will leave u teary eyed.
But that's when I touch u and u touch me and respect me.
I am your elixir to help u carry on for another few months before u will need me again to help suck you out of your inner turmoil.

The motto is - look outward, don't think too much. Coz when u turn inward u restrict urself , put boundations to u o human. U r unstoppable. Believe me.

I love you, and u too must love urself.

Top station - too as beautiful. It was misty, cloudy with tiny dew falling on you. We walked a lot here in and around Tea Estates. We were among them , one with them.

We danced like kids because there was just fog, us, tea leaves guding our path and lots of beauty to cherish.

Thanks Munnar for the beautiful day today.

We absorbed all that is of you. Only to return back whenever we get a chance and admire you for a much longer time.

Book review : "Unfair Trade" by Conor Woodman

Image
While splurging on books at Delhi book fair '14 I came across this masterpiece. An intriguing tale of the challenging condition of farmers/ workers in the developing world forming the foundation of much of world's key raw materials yet themselves living only on daily subsistence. What is much much appreciated is the passion the author displays in this work - wherein he himself has traveled across countries of the globe and understood the plight of Chinese factory workers, African coffee workers, Afghanistan's weed farmers etc. The fact that story comes from the horse's mouth adds the drama & authenticity which one needs in books like these. The reader can trust the facts stated in book & form his own perspectives. Connor starts with how we as consumers are increasingly becoming ethical centric in terms of goods we buy. We trust big organizations to find the best way to their raw material suppliers problem and believe when they say "we are ethicall

Nanaji - To you with Love

Image
There are times in one's life where we are fortunate enough to meet a great personality who has an enduring impact on you. They become your inspiration and aspiration. After a Long time in my life I think I met a person like Nanaji(Akshays Nanji) who had everything I wanted to be. Perfect Human Being , Truthful , Smart, apolitical, Gentle, Kind . At the same time tolerant. This all with a so much willpower that one would get scared by the enormity of his character. He was someone who could never be affected by another person's wrong or foolish behavior.  A very very well travelled man , a business man, Allahabad University professor, tour manager for Jain pilgrimages, writer & publisher of children's' books, owner of Jain temple in a place close to Allahabad & what not. Everyone all at the same time. Some personal anecdotes with Nanaji - # On one of our temple visits we lost way . Only me and Nanji were travelling with a crude, ruthless cab driver.

A mom's realization on the birthday night.

And hence from now on till you grow up a pie of my heart is cut out for you.. Mesmerized by youreach move, your each flutter of eye, your smiles your nudges your laughter.. I miss your first month , second month..and so on..and all that's gone by. And, Henceforth  I just realised , I will miss each day each second that you just spent with me for its gone forever stored In the infinite time called memories... And it's going to happen each year...forever. For you are always going to grow up..and I am always going to miss the little you.. As you will mouth words I miss your dadas As you will walk and run I will miss your crawls As you will play and jump I am gonna miss your falls So I just pray to God to give me the strength to see you grow and look forward.  Rather than miss the gone and lost memories.  As I too wish to smile and laugh with you for the rest of our lives. Lots of love Mumma.
