I told her that we can’t be together anymore. She laughed mokingly wanting to add something to it but I had to put the phone down. I thank her for bringing me to feel the way I did all this while. I also thank her for making it so cheap by the end of it. The pain was tough and when it lasted. I came to rishikesh with no plans of travelling further & to add to the misery, the final word had to be spoken on my granny’s house’s terrace.
Now when its done, I felt like the mountain top dipped in grey clouds and no sun. I lacked all the enthusiasm I needed to make plans of travelling ahead.
A trip to a temple, a meeting with a pandit and then a walk that I requested from my cousin (she wanted us to take the car). My shaadi has been foretold and now was the time for a closer forecast. It was time for a closer forecast now. We began our walk by Ganga Ji and what started as a norma walk turned out to be a great learning experience. I was carrying the camera with me and was able to take some very interesting shots. The one I began with and that fired my imagination was when I caught a little boy looking down the river accompanied by his grandfather. It was only taken in a matter of 5 seconds and then the moment was gone. The kid figured that I was upto something, but I got my shot already and it was too late! I laughed feeling like I’ve won a bet! The trip somehow came up to me and I am going to the valley of flowers the day after. I’m so excited, the camera and I needed just the same time and place (s) to know each other, to make friends! I love the tele photo I have and want to thank dimri all the for making me buy this lense. It is my telescope!
I will be getting up early tomorrow and head to the ran jhula for some sunrise shots and some surreal pictures. I will watch peepli live in a local single screen theatre and then would visit some cafes with my cousin to see the hippie culture in a relapse mode. I just want to shout out so loud, I’m so excited!
