Himalaya
In tertiary times, when two continents adrift
Titanically collided to tectonically uplift
The gasping ocean floor
Resurrected up once more
Left the water for the land;
Five miles high it made its stand.
And to these youthful mountains (that is as mountains go)
The monsoon clouds paid homage as they gathered far below
They strongly spouted fury and made the foothills wet
But the

12 Days of Christmas Holiday In Sikkim Himalaya
On the 1st Day of Christmas I trekked in the Sikkim high mountains
along the tortuous but exhilarating track
of the heavenly Himalaya.
On the 2nd Day of Christmas I reached an idyllic hospitable hamlet,
cradled picturesquely in the deeply cut green emerald valley
of the heavenly Himalaya.
On the 3rd Day of Christmas I ambled through the pine and spruce

Greater the gratitude for me he's, symbol of his beatitude
Vis-à-vis creed, blood, caste and hard achieved, a regard

Secrets of the Himalaya
I whisper…
In a nearly inaudible voice
Softly but firmly… into your ears
The insatiable desires, the irreversible regrets, the off the limits dreams
the unspeakable aloneness.
So selfish of me
forcing you to embrace the sums of me
Into your extensive universe
Along with the immense weight of the secrets
Up the mountains and down the rivers
Oh, this unbearable cradle of

A Lake In the Himalaya
A pristine lake in the high Himalaya
spreads its arms of stillness wide
on the flanks of the serene glacier
that creeps silently with a load of ice
down the bare rocky carved out valley
melts on the sliding floor in gushing surge
and feeds the Ganga chilled ancient water.
The water the lake drinks to the full
distilled through the

Once the Yogi of Himalaya
Preached laughing loud with Prânâyâma*
They thought him immortal
Put him on pedestal
Now he’s the toast of lost Gondwana.

Once the same Yogi

Himalaya -Makes One Realise How Small He Is -W
When world is too much with me I take a week off
To stand and stare at the beauties of the Himalaya
To get away from the hurries and worries of life
To go to the Himalayas has always been my pleasure.
To climb the mountains and get good tidings
Nature’s peace flows into you as sunshine in trees.
The wind
