I like the style. Simple lines, as if you are talking to your inner self, yet which convey a lot. Like when you say 'As I walk, fragments of poems form in my head..'. Somewhat similar to my fav Gulzar sahib.
Uncle ji you made my day, week, month and year with that comparison. If I can write even a fraction as beautifully as the great Gulzar, I would be satisfied.
I stopped in Dubai for 16 hours on MY way to a not-so-epic Himalayan odyssey. I was sick and wet for two weeks on my way into the Langtang region. But I do enjoy reading about others’ treks. Thx for the life details, and for subscribing to the Road to Elsewhere.
Wet and sick for two weeks doesn't sound like a fun outing at all! I avoid going to the hills during the monsoon months - if I can help it that is. I love the rains, especially since I am based in Dubai now. The resultant nostalgia for the Indian monsoon means that I am goggle eyed over every drizzle. But it in the hills it does curtail hikes.
I canne respond to such lyricism. Mr Burns and his wee river and church and bridge have a very special place in my heart, along with Girvain and this one farm in Ayr.
Hey Binu! I’m intrigued by your “Himalayan wanderings” and looking forward to reading more about them. But it makes me wonder: are you a Nepali? Where do you live? I looked for bio details in your “about” page, but that didn’t solve the mystery. Maybe in a future post, if you feel moved to tell your story a little? Would enjoy having the perspective.
I just checked. I know I had subscribed to you, but for reasons unknown it shows that I have not! So subscribing again. This also explains the missing posts.
Hi Peter, how are you doing? Been missing the Road2Elsewhere posts the last few weeks!
Thanks for reading and for your interest in the Himalayan Odyssey - my not so epic journey :)). To answer your questions - I am an Indian, currently living in Dubai. And I will be talking a bit more about my background in the coming posts.
Seeing this after a delay. Loved the line 'The yellow carpet of God' as a description for fall.
I loved the soothing tone that you set the piece in. It had a calming effect on the mind.
Thank you Rita :). So glad that the rhythm made itself felt.

Looking forward to more from you. Great writing.

Thanks Sudha :)

Smart lead up to ‘ramblings’. I loved it. Just.
Thank you :).
Beautiful Binu
Thanks Swapna :)
Love it,reading through the post made me happy even though you forgot to mention Robert Burns😈 though he comes up with some funny stuff.
As I walk'd by myself, I said to mysel,
And myself said again to me;
Look weel to thyself, or not to thyself,
There's nobody cares for thee.
Then I answer'd mysel and I said to mysel;
Whatever be my degree,
I'll look to mysel, and I'll think o' mysel,
And I care for nobodie.
