This picture is Breathtaking ! “Definitely” going to be my desktop wallpaper 😀
Calm
Brighten your day
I/You-We/Us
Seasons come in calm and fury
Not knowing towards but hold us, Love 
Waver not in belief for I shall not drift
Hold us for we shall not fail,
What is us,
What is ours,
Years may stain, don’t let that burden you
Our hearts and arms shall house this belief:
“This love we have is unreserved devotion
To keep who we are
To keep what is us,
To keep what is ours,”
Life may abate but hearts will soar,
Death will come eventually calling, but,
Remember where you walk I will follow
Always and forever will hold us, Love

During the colonial period, Gurais was often visited by trekkers. Nehru and Indira Gandhi, accompanied by Sheikh Abdullah, were among those who visited the area in the 1940’s, fishing for trout at Naranag, one of the lakes in the mountains above the valley.

Time to Sleep
That time of the day when your brain has nothing to do but keep the vital organs going, and most importantly, your heart has nothing to do but pump blood into your veins.
That time when your sorrows and your frustrations lay forgotten, and your brow ceases to frown.
That time when you finally take off the burdens weighing you down, from your shoulders, and let your muscles relax. That time when you can finally escape to the place of your dreams, where only the things in your dreams come true, literally.
I look forward to this moment every single day!! (In My Den) Good Night to all Lovely people that read , like or follow this blog 🙂 Sleep Tight
