Ekla cholo re....

As it is rightly said in Sir Rabindranath Tagores' famous Poetry, "Ekla Cholo re"; 
Jodi Tor Dak Shune Keu Na Ase Tobe Ekla Cholo Re ("If no one responds to your call, then go your own way alone"), I followed this for the second time today...
Today I took my second road trip all for myself, by myself without having any company. I started my trip early in the morning at 7.00 am. It was little irritating in the beginning, but eventually when I left the Hassle of the city, when I started with the patch post Kalyan, I realised a different level of calmness, Peace! As if there is no one and nothing to live or wait for... just my soul.

It was a different calling when I started with Kasara Ghat, trust me it was an unforgettable experience, the smooth curves of the roads made me feel like a material of pure silk passing from a ring, the sceneray was that of only arid lands, no greenery at all, yet the depth of the hills, the valley, the railway tunnel below the path, it gave an altogether complete package of awesomeness.

I reached Trimbakeshwar, trust me GOD'S PLACES HAVE BECOME A BUSINESS POINT, WHERE THEY BLOODY EXPLOIT THE FAITH OUT OF THE DEVOTEE. It was a boring experience where I waited for 3 hrs and just to see people paying ₹ 200/- getting the first preference. (Lets chuck this, as it doesnt matters)

The best part of the entire journey was the patch connecting Trimbakeshwar to Mumbai Highway via Ghoti. It was a mesmerising road way, untouched by humans and mainly city crowd, the road had amazing and smooth curves besides, it was the first time in my entire life to see real time villages, villages where huts were made-up of clay and I could not locate any buildings besides schools to be made up of concrete. The beauty of River Godavari can be seen over here, felt over here, the avenue which I passed through until the hay and dung cakes which smelled brilliant, it captured my senses and I just didnt wanted to leave the patch, (see the pics below)... there was no one, and silence as if sound never existed, one could easily attain trance via meditating here, it was so serene... no more words can define the beauty of this mesmerising place....

IT IS THE JOURNEY THAT BRINGS US HAPINESS, NOT THE DESTINATION...
