Another Sunset from the Tagore Beach Sunset Series at Karwar

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

From the Sunset Series

Wasted!

"You never come back, not all the way. Always there is an odd distance between you and the people you love and the people you meet, a barrier thin as the glass of a mirror, you never come all the way out of the mirror; you stand, for the rest of your life, with one foot in this world and no one in another, where everything is upside down and backward and sad."
- Marya Hornbacher.

At the High Tea time....

Its late Afternoon, or early evening at #Karwar, and this is how the Sea appears, shiny and shimmering orange.

And a short verse I wrote:
"Men of Wisdom love the Mountains,
And men of Knowledge love the Sea!
In Karwar you will find both of these,
where Mountains stretch into the Sea,
And the Aqua marine color them Green!"

Sky is His Canvas!

THE SKY IS HIS CANVAS

This night is amazing
The clouds rearranging
The light is falling, tumbling from the skies
And life full of hope, dear
And rain makes us float, dear
The waters flooding, mixing in our eyes
And often times we pass it by
But at any time we can see the sky
And marvel at the wonders high
An know of God just by this sight
The sky is His canvas
To always enchant us
And to always bring a smile to our faces
To all who are tired
Or desperate to feel loved
Just look up to see the face of God
And often times we pass it by
But at any time we can see the sky
And marvel at the wonders high
An know of God just by this sight..

2010
Those headed to Goa for New Year's Eve need not return home disappointed as there's a new beach destination for an alternative. Many tourists who could not get rooms at lodges in Goa have arrived at Karwar where lodges and resorts are now houseful till January 5. Most of the resorts and the lodges in Goa were reserved almost three months in advance by tourists who wanted to ring in the New Year here. This caught tourists from Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu off guard.

Sunset afterglow....

Every time you wake up and ask yourself, What good things am I going to do today?, remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it. 

A moment, and its glory was no more. The sun went down beneath the long dark lines of hill and cloud which piled up in the west an airy city, wall heaped on wall, and battlement on battlement; the light was all withdrawn; the shining church turned cold and dark; the stream forgot to smile; the birds were silent; and the gloom of winter dwelt on everything. - Charles Dickens

Wishing you all a Happy Makar Sankranti...

People of Karwar watch a sunset at the Tagore beach on the day of the Solistice - Makar Sankranti, also signifying the Harvest Season.
As they say in Karwar - "Tilgul ghaya God God Bolaa.." Loosely translated in English as "Take sweet, talk sweet" on this day.

Sankranti means to go from one place to another place (to change direction). It also means one meets another. The time when the sun changes direction from one constellation (of the zodiac) to another is known as Sankranti.

Transition of the Sun from Sagittarius (Dhanu) to Capricorn (Makar) during the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere (Uttarayana) is known as Makar sankranti. (more info here)

Makar Sankranti in Maharastra and Karnataka,  is also celebrated all over India and is known as Lohri in Punjab, Bihu in Asssam, Pongal in Tamilnadu, Khichiri in Uttar Pradesh, Sukarat in Madhya Pradesh, Pedda Panduga in Andhra Pradesh, etc.

Google once again surprised us with their new Google Doodle. On the day when nation celebrates Makar Sankranti, Google has painted kites and flying balloons on its search engine home page in India. Source

The Child-Angel - A Poem by Rabindranath Tagore



They clamour and fight, they doubt and despair,
they know no end to their wranglings.

Let your life come amongst them like a flame of light, my child,
unflickering and pure, and delight them into silence.

They are cruel in their greed and their envy,
their words are like hidden knives thirsting for blood.

Go and stand amidst their scowling hearts, my child,
and let your gentle eyes fall upon them
like the forgiving peace of the evening over the strife of the day.

Let them see your face, my child,
and thus know the meaning of all things;
let them love you and thus love each other.

Come and take your seat in the bosom of the limitless, my child.
At sunrise open and raise your heart like a blossoming flower,
and at sunset bend your head and in silence complete the worship of the day.
