Chai Karak:
The creamy, fragrant Chai Karak stands strong as one of the drinks that are gaining popularity around the world. Its humble beginnings actually lie in the South Asian countries of India and Pakistan.
Woke up in a big green canvas today.
Surrounded by lush green mountains, sound of a nearby river, little drizzle, big butterflies and on top of that no technology (no wifi, no cable, and no phone signals). It’s like living in a huge painting. And it’s all green. Green is nature, restorative, peaceful, new, positive and symbolizes growth.
Misty nights, smell of bottle green algae, steady sound of a gigantic river flowing in the direction of its own will. Racket of different type of insects, slightly bigger moon, pooled with a homesick feeling, vacation in the mountains is always a good idea. One needs to be closer to the nature once in a while. And at a place which is not rearranged by the rearrangements of a human mind. Nature gives you all the hints to live a perfect yet crazy life. And that’s the way nature itself is, crazy but natural both at the same time.
While looking at the formation of tall trees, sprouting at the base of a mountain and reaching till the top, I realized these trees have to reach to the top despite the consequences of unsteady mountains. Doesn’t matter how high the mountain is, doesn’t matter how low their base is, they are the one who defines the highest point. While sitting by the gigantic force of the river, I learnt that this soft runny thing has to make its way regardless of the presence of solid stone like mountains in its passage. No power on the earth can contain the force of freewill, determination of your dreams, passion to lead your own destiny. There are thousands of signs given to us by the nature to take control of our own destiny. Signs to fight it, force it, sometimes bend yourself a little but keep steady and make it happened for our own self.
The landslide, gravely, bumpy roads always seem like that they are never going to end, but reality is not like that. In fact the bumpiest road leads you to the most beautiful places in the end. You always reach to your destination; just keep focused and hanged on.
Water is the mother of tea, a teapot its father, and fire the teacher. ~Chinese Proverb
