When Roads become Destinations

I found a place in the midst of nature

And it a made a place within me

[Lake Mirik, on way to Darjeeling, near Siliguri]



The hills echo the greatness of my nation

As the breeze hums it's song

[Way to Nathu La Pass:Indo-China Border]



Give me a life away from the crowd



where all those I know



Know me

[Darjeeling]





The clouds move wildly around me



The stones stand unperturbed



The souls captivated by the fragrance of mist

[Dello park,Kalimgpong]









Put all the colours you can think of together



You'll get all those you could not have thought of

[Rumtek Monastery, near Gangtok]






There's a serenity in life


And there's a life in serenity
[Rumtek Monastery, nearGangtok]






My trip to Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Gangtok was more than fulfilling. The camera could not capture even a percent of its beauty and the excitement induced can neither be shown nor told, only experienced.
