Tranquil Vibes

 

Tranquil Vibes

There is nothing more delightful in the world than the countryside. We ascertained this again on our anniversary yesterday when we decided to become wanderers for a day to   satisfy our craving 

  .

 

So we drove down to Karighatta the  destination in our minds .Even as we turned off the highway,  we were  driving amidst  paddy , sugarcane  fields and Coconut groves .We made several stops by the lush greenery and river banks , pausing  to imbibe  pleasant moments around small hillocks, patches of Chrysanthemum & marigold to savor  what we are missing in life in the city.

For me it was a joyous time as I soaked in  Nature’s lap .

Sometimes the most priceless moments don’t happen at famous tourist sites, they happen when you leave the beaten path behind and just explore.

We drove  down random country  tracks  as we imbibed the leisurely pace of life  and  enjoyed   life in the countryside for a short while.

In the absence of tourism & heavy human footfall, this idyllic setting where the cocks still crow and the Bicycles are 60 years old  ,will still manage to remain intact. But for how long? Highways have already reached these remote and inaccessible places, and the ugliness has begun to  raise its head.

What cost “Progress”?
