Girl on the Beach

-
I am writing a poetry post after a long time. All of us love the sea and pine to walk on golden sands, holding hands with the one we love. This poem is dedicated to each one of you but especially to the one for whom it is written. She isn't here so don't ask who she is but she is everywhere, the universal symbol of care and companionship. Enjoy and do look for your girl / boy on the beach. She or he is certainly there and there indeed is a beach where you can walk for eternity and never come to the end, where sun sparkles and spreads joy into golden twilights, where you would find the voice of your soul and a place to lie and gaze up at the stars alongside the one who is your destiny.


Who’s that girl upon the beach!
Ambling quietly in her bikini peach
She laughs and smiles into the sea
To someone who’s there only for her to see

She walks and watches the birds in flight
Holding hands with her boy delight
She runs away from the crowd and bustle
To her boy who makes her castle

She pulls him into the deep blue
And holds him to her body like glue
They dance upon the riding wave
Its love they both crave


She calls out softly his name
And pulls him down for a lover’s game
They lay like that entwined all day
A couple hot and exceedingly gay

Then they play with the shells in hand
The boy tells her stories of distant land
When the day wanes and the sun goes down
They walk away into the glorious brown

At night they lie on back and try
To count all stars upon the sky
The girl giggles and can’t stop kissing
The boy then begins his teasing

Even when the world has gone asleep
The boy lays the girl on his lap for keep
And tells her of the stars and moon
Till she gets to the edge of swoon

The girl coos, ‘I am all yours as you are all mine’
The boy grins, ‘Then let’s go in and grab some wine’

It’s not wine that I am thirsting for
It’s your loving I need some more
You are my heart and my soul
You are my path and my goal

Please stay with me forever
Beyond eternity and ever and ever
Never leave me and go away
I will die if far you stay

I want you in every life of mine
Without you my sun doesn’t shine
How do I tell you what you mean to me!
You are my fate and my destiny

Her eyes shimmer full of care
He kisses them real tender
He speaks softly in her ear
Listen to me now my dear

How can I leave you and elsewhere be
When you are the reason and my need to be
You are the air that keeps me alive
For you I will always strive

My heart melts when you smile at me
My sun sinks when you I don’t see
You are the half of my soul
Without you I have no role

I promise with you will I stay
And return to you each day
My love each moment for you will grow
Never would it get old or mellow

You will always remain the girl of my dreams
I have known you in the past lives it seems
In the present we belong together
And in the future forever hereinafter

Thus joined in love’s grace
They sleep away in loving embrace
Their lives are complete now
And their life has only begun and how!

When I Did Humpty Dumpty (of course i have done it so many times)

-

For a nanosecond, my entire world froze, and stood still. Everything around me merged into a swirl of mist and white, and each cell of my body stopped their designed functions to await the inevitable – the inevitability of danger, the inevitability of destruction, the inevitability of death. For I was going to fall. Stuck like an insignificant spider, at 5800 m on the sheer ice wall of 80 degree on the southwest face of peak Sujtilla (the Needle Peak), I knew that I had lost my purchase – the four points of tempered steel that had held me so far, were now nothing more than extra weights, only aiding gravity to propel me down faster. In that billionth of a second my entire life took an abject distance and I looked at myself with utmost clarity. This is what happened when it happened . I thought of nothing, no last words of wisdom, no visions of how life could have been, no pining for anyone to be close to me, no regrets, no sense of exhilaration, and certainly, no terror

Talang Pass – following the goat trail from Tang to Holi

  Chamba side view from Talang Pass, Mani Mahesh Kailash in the center At 4667m Talang is touted as the highest pass that local shepherds use to cross the Dhauladhar Mountain Range from Kangra to Chamba and back during their annual migration with their herds. This pass had been on my radar for several years and this year since the pandemic put a hold to my international trips, I finally crossed it. In this post I won’t talk much about the pass history itself rather give a factual account of how we crossed it. Suffice to say that till now Talang Pass has very little mention or details online. And I wish to fill up this void through this article. I will also give our exact itinerary that we followed. You would be able to follow the details in this post in case you wish to do this pass unguided by yourself. A word of caution before I begin, that this indeed is a very difficult pass and unless you are an expert hiker with very steady head for heights, in good physical condition and posse

Singhar Pass (Jot) 4350m – journey to the killer pass

  Singhar Pass, temple and view of Chamba side After a brief respite once again my friend Ravinder from Tangroti and I headed up to yet another Dhauladhar pass connecting Kangra with Chamba. This time our objective was the dreaded Singhar Pass, which has also been called the killer pass. To my knowledge, this is the only Dhauladhar Pass that even the Gaddis (shepherds) are bit wary of crossing. Hence trekkers crossing this pass is extremely rare. I know of only one instance before us that of two friends of mine, Rijul and Tarun, both seasoned hikers. A brief mention about the pass altitude. Figures vary about its height but according to my altimeter and referring to Army Survey maps I would place the height between 4330 to 4350m hence I would settle for the higher figure of 4350m. The pass ridge is rather long so it depends at which point you cross it. My estimate of 4350m coincides with the lowest point on the ridge, where the temple is located and to which the trail leads. Now I wi
