ReplyDeleteyour posts leave me wanting to do just that Arti - plan a trip to the Himalayas. this is a beautiful post, again precisely what I needed upon waking this morning. It's refreshing to be greeted with faith. I shall make every attempt to see with my soul and I especially like the third photo. You're the serenity in my day. I hope you have a beautiful day Arti.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and anecdotes, especially the last one- Faith! Great post Arti!
ReplyDeleteAs I see these pictures I feel cold don't know why, are they recently clicked.
ReplyDeleteI so desperately want to go to such places and wander there alone.
Interesting to see the Chunaris and Sathiya used in this way when we all so often connect them with Nazi Germany.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post, I so love all those bells.
All the colorful textiles and Chunaris make interesting contrasts in your Himalayan photos, Arti. Looks as though you had some fine days for travel and photography. Wishing you a happy day.
ReplyDeletei will remember that !! :)

ReplyDeleteWhat is life without faith? It can move mountains, how what to say of human souls? Great captions for great shots.

ReplyDeleteby the way tell me, have you left anything out there not seen or captured :D :P
Great post - i love it Arti! Have a happy monday!
ReplyDelete@ Petty Witter
ReplyDeleteSwastik or the Sathiya is a mark made to denote good luck and is considered auspicious in Hinduism.
The Nazi's seeing its popularity, adopted it as their party symbol but reversed the shape, they used the reverse Swastik.
@ zephyr
ReplyDeleteYou are so correct, what is life without faith.
It can certainly move mountains, it can make us see the divine.
@ Santosh bs
ReplyDeleteThats so good to hear.
And I have left Kedarnath and Yumunotri as of now, but if you wont be quick then even that will slip out of your hands!!!!
very well captured shots with amazing words...

ReplyDeletetell me something .. how do you write that label "My Yatra Diary" on your pics...

rahul
Hi, Arti! I feel like I’m hearing the temple bells ringing. I believe in invisible things, visible things could be deceiving if not seen with the mind’s eye. I respect people’s faith.
ReplyDeleteAs Red Rose wrote, showing the highlights of Himalayan travels is apt to this time of the year approaching year-end.

Wonderful tour of the Himalayas thru these pictures . Thanks for sharing .
ReplyDeletenice post...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't have any plans in near future...perhaps some day when I'll visit, I'll surely have faith..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos :)
They are beautiful..I'll click too when I'll go there and I'll show them to you :)
I really loved your post and as I was reading, after each one of your new passion, I thought about my self...Though like you, I never thought about anything else than engineering...But here is my list, which I am writing just because it matches with yours..
I used to play, Tennis in my college days, and just like you I love the game of roger federer..
I was a serious quizzer during my engineering, after I reached final year, I became the member of organizing committee...
Then comes the blogging...I too want to write a book but only when I become a mature writer..I don't want to end up buying my own book, that too just for rs 95/- I guess you know where I am indicating :P
btw I never tried to paint the wall, and here I am..a engineer waiting for my date of joining :)
stay connected!!!
its me!!! sharan :)
nice pics with interesting lines
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos of Imalaia!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Many greetings

ReplyDeleteArti,
ReplyDeleteLoved each and every photograph.There is so much freshness in each.Faith is one that is very much essential when we set on Pilgrimages.
Profound and beautiful verse with the right pictures to support them.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Himalayas, to be precise Netala, for my Teachers training in Yoga. It was a wonderful experience to hear the constant flow of Ganga, which I deeply miss for my meditation. For me, it was like faith grew on me, being in the untouched natures lap.
Beautiful! :)
