The Jungle Mirage

I did not shy away from going out of my in-laws house that day. The previous day was very tiring as I had gone out to see Maha Saptami Puja at many places all around Margherita, Assam. I had walked a lot.

On that particular day, I thought of taking a nap during the afternoon. The inert clouds added to the gloominess.

Yet, I got myself up, took my camera and went out the house. This was a decision that made my afternoon engaging.

I took a lot of photos. But this one here, it is just behind the farmland inside my in-laws' house's premises near the southern boundary.

There is a pathway, a plant filled wooden boundary and some other plants and trees all around. This exquisite view made me feel like I was entering a jungle, all thanks to the cloudy atmosphere. So, that's why the name "The Jungle Mirage".

Life thrives, safe haven

Organisms abound - protect

Sow seeds, don't slash them

Cloak of Life

It was a lovely sunny day. I went out for a leisurely walk around the Dehing Tea Estate, near Margherita, Assam.

The lush green trees and plants which included coconut trees, tea plantations, etc were beaming with life.

It felt like a cloak protecting me from the hideous smoke monsters, the screeching canon monsters and the fiery ray monster.

I could hear the melodious offering of different birds along with the whooshing sound of wind in intervals.

I felt so relaxed and full of life surrounded by the magnanimous nature's warriors.

Magnanimous beings

Sing, dance, emanate vigour
