CLOSE TO GREEN


Got a lucky chance to visit a small village.Lucky-because for the first time since I have gained sense,I had never been so close to nature-so close that I felt the vibes coming from her.It's not that,this was the first time I am eying such a beauty; how many a times I have crossed a vast landscapes-watching farms,meadows,mountains,rivers,etc while in a train or going by a road-which actually is my favorite pastime-admiring the magnificent work of GOD,but because not until yesterday I sensed nature's benign presence which is very pampering.You can say I was completely engulfed by her and her calmness.

It happened in a way that me and my friend decided to try something out of routine, and hence, planned up to visit her farmhouse following weekend .Saturday evening we packed our stuff,checked out our to-do-list and without any delay headed towards the village,Chamroua,which is some 20 km from the city.A place away from pollution,away from noise and the world of disguise.

At first, it seemed like some ordinary trip;we were talking ,laughing and watching the landscape outside with full admiration.On a way,we passed across a village.The men were all doing work for their earnings,women were all doing homes,pulling water outside the well and household stuff.They were all dolled up in a traditional apparel & were looking too beautiful.Children were playing in a street with a mirth and were too shy or I don't know why but very reluctant to talk,but then they were too busy having fun in their own small world ,I found it best not to disturb them.

For a trice,I wondered ,how are they living in such discomforts and felt a grave sympathy.I think i was wrong but.It is perhaps,our demands are very high and almost insatiable that's why we are never content.People's there are less demanding and hence more happy in their own small world.I was in the middle of my thought,when my friend said,"We are here".

Wow, was the first word poured out of my lipsThe house was in a middle of a farmland.The surrounding was filled with variety of herbs,shrubs,trees and very close to it was flowing the river Pahauch.The scenery was just AMAZING.No word can give its perfect decription.It was the sheer delight for an eye-soothing and serene.

In an hour or so we made ourselves comfortable ,took bath ,ate food and helped ourselves to terese.Where we sat for long and exposed our heart out, discussing various things.In that silence it was so easy to talk,as if nature is itself helping you to communicate,to make u feel ease.

 Next day, me and my friend took a little walk to a nearby village.We saw how various vegetation grows.We  also visited a small temple there and walked towards the river.Everything was so still ,but a moment later turbulence started in a water and winds got intense.It felt as if nature is vexed by our presence as we are disturbing it's silence.Little fear then circulated through my veins, but only a little while after that ,turbulence stopped.I thought such is a blessing of nature,though we are disturbing her silence,she is trying not to disturb us or make us panic but infact gifted us with new positive energies.I absorbed everything i could have.No doubt, someone said it truly , "Nature is a best teacher".I also would say, she's a best charmer which gives you mental peace without any magical spells.

With the dawn we retreated back to our place and coming back I realized everyone should take a time out of their busy schedule and visit such places.It takes nothing but surely pours an oil in ur troubled water of anguish,dilemmas and worries.
