Train of thought

Train, tracks, signals, colored lights, ticket window, platform, crowd, compartment......are nostalgia to initiate the 'train of thoughts'....

It was this, we traveled as a kid, with our parents beside to care....

It was this, our parents traveled with us, as to be cared....

Again it was this, we traveled alone, 
in a crowded compartment, 
with our thoughts of all those times gone by....

Ayodhyā an ancient city on the right bank of Saráyu river

In a land of prophets and sacred rivers,
India owns many places worth visiting,
Not only for the beauty. serenity & people inhabiting to the place..
But for the way religion transforms people for their concern to environment including animals, plants and rivers.

Ayodhyā, an ancient city in north India, 9000 years old as per one belief..
Believed to be the birthplace of Rama, a Hindu prophet, incarnation of Vishnu,
Who symbolizes virtuous, righteous, democratic social dealings based on equality, without prejudices any.
Epic Ramayana was set to this place describing the period of Rama.

After arriving to this place, one notices the abundance of Langur monkeys, in and around the city.
As per mythological belief they are specially treated animal though wild they are.
Sadhus (sage, ascetic) are also here as they come from every part of India for the Hindu pilgrimage.

Bank of river Saráyu witnesses a multitude of people of early morning bathers, who take holy dip, irrespective of the weather.
Some put earthen lamp floating in the river, some pray with their folded hand to the rising sun and some offer flowers to the river to which they revered most.

Misty communication

Mist has always given feelings to one who is in.. 
Something hidden, sense of loss, mystical, disappearance is all which envelopes as a thought..

Tree takes shape hitherto unknown as if communicating with you when you are alone with a camera..
