Whispering stories : A beach diary

                              |MOMENT| rewinding a Tuesday....When there’s mass-bunking of light in Navi Mumbai.. A blur of traffic passing on the highway, a lighted window at dusk.. Sipping a cup of coffee in the background.. Quiet back in the middle of fast going suburbs- suggested a time to travel to a peaceful resort...finally chronicling the beaches of a good time city -Mumbai. Often relating it to "Nature is a fuel for our soul... When that fuel diminishes we reach for a cup of joy." This is how we keep on searching for abstract grounds..there’s a story that transports from person to person. Our world of aspiration sometimes bounded by limitations. 

                       That evening, saw a phenomenal sunset... exploring seven shades of blue right from hooloovoo (the super intelligent shade of blue to the midnight blue & the endless sky.. that painted clouds of dreams. Serenity in its beauty with the coolest bunch of people. As if the happiness floated like those waves , ripples of joy along the coast of our lives...  Echo of a distant tide, Willowing across the sands..Romancing with the cool breezes that left us breathless and free with the ongoing heat wave. Some May call it romantic, for me, it's a surreal brilliance of nature. Down on the wisps of a beach, the story continued, flipping chapter of each of our lives, reviewing thousands of images that sheded over uncoated pages of lives, reflection of standalone spirit ,the matrix of our aspirations –some broken and some alive, dreams that were crystallizing into a concrete world. Theories that wandered, existed, evolved and adapted us of ancient wisdom and progressive future. 


IN THE FRAME : AKSA BEACH,MUMBAI
                               We stayed tune to the music of nature. The sounds of the rustling water…roaring winds breezing the ears. The water washed away the grainy sand off our feet’s, casting our footprints on the sands of time...
  Strumming the heart strings. Drawing each note ...playing the most beautiful song.."Gunjasaa hai koi .. Iktara"  humming deep down the nature.
As the broad sun started sinking down in its tranquility ,the animated discussions carried on. The lifeless beach then turned into big inspirational fire in the sky...by the presence of people around...light was simply beautiful... Set over the horizon. Shadows creating interesting silhouettes and the sand flavored Choco chip cookie in the frame. Vivacious stone... textures that captivated sight. As if the expanse of nature submerged totally in that twilight, from the scandalous conversations in metro (Ghatkhopar to Versova) to an unplanned destination. ..life could now sense a lost beat.. the bridge of missing friendships at the crossroads of life.. Every inch of indigo for us was an adventurous sight, in the maze of colour and temporariness.. 

                               This is how, humans invest themselves in little things called “emotions” connected to a place or a being.. To the contrast, today most of them lack expression. They are so tired pretending to be someone they are not...
stuck in the foyer of what they have lost, end up just left waiting in cafe's, ,cracked in the plastered smiles,chasing cars with jarred screams… Those Countless conversations.. Erased promises.. Steep words..Best friends that turn into dusk. Friends turn into ashes. Few constants in our life.. Fall to the screeching noise of the city... 
                               Life isn't always about Imitiaz Ali's Movies to teach us live. It’s about flying without worries, like the little phoenix ablaze and full of life. Its about looking up for best moments of times. Cherishing the darkness because it comes hidden with light... holding on the branches of hope on unknown paths.  In the scene lighting up a forgotten dream.  Run is fun.... trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty…nothing is certain and everything is possible.. Love the ocean and live for the beach......Live life large forever, that's when you make an effort to live in the positive frame of life. Make mistakes,  have wonderful times but never ever doubt on who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is that you are going.  It is always a game of tints and tones.Orientation of time influences your behavior... Just walk around and explore the beauty that exists

                              Concluding it with the beautifully worded lines ~
“And me? I still believe in paradise. But now atleast I know it’s not some place you can look for. Because it’s not where you go. It’s how you feel for the moment in your life when you’re a part of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever ~ Leonardo Di Caprio, from the movie “The Beach” (2000)

End note:  Earned it for a last day of vacation, wish you all Ethereal calmness and beauty in your life. Happy blogging :)
