  • "when was the last time you did something for the first time"

    It had caved a hole in my mind, throwing me off the comfort zone of my own eternal bliss.

    As the morning drew near, the past sleepless night had somewhat given me an idea of exactly what I was going to do.
    The stage was set except for the premise. This time I told myself let "us' ride into the unknown, remaining indifferent to time & place in search of my own unknown boundaries that I have not come across yet.

    "Travelling" I said to myself has to be for a perceptive notion; to break free from the shackles of the society, to run away from the cacophony of the illusionary world we live, or just to appreciate how infinite the world is within the finite nature.

    I quenched for the throttle and the perquisite of seeing the first glitter of sun touch the highest pillars of sky, reaching out to infinite zone of darkness.

    I sipped tea almost as passionately as I enjoyed the view that lay in front of me. Little beam of sunshine glowed strongly. The water was still expressing its prowess, yet silent, so silent.

      8.16am

      DEOGHAR
      A place of religious significance as one of the twelve jwotirlingas is here. Early morning ride (from maithan) seemed the most doable 120 kms approx.

      Decision to stay here was out of an impulse as this town had a history like no other.
      Few kms from the main town was Tapovan, a place that sheltered people seeking nirvana, a place lost in history.

      its oldest inhabitants


      I had no expectations where this trip was leading to. Then i met Amit, a boy of ten, full of life and passion. All he wanted was some chillers for a day's meal.
      But something inside me knew he could earn his own means, as we talked I agreed to pay for his meal & to my surprise he offered to act as my guide for the day.

      Amit, me & a third person i dont remember.

      I set off for Trikut hills the next day. It has an elevation of 2000 ft approx and seemed proudly boasting its sheerness to its neighboring landscape remaining indifferent
      to the world that lay beyond where its vision diminished.

          Hi Andy,
          Thank you for the apreciation.
          Kolkata-maithan reservoir is 250iss kms on Delhi road..
          Then towards deoghar you have to take the state highway that cuts off from asansol. Rest of the places town that I came across fell en route only ..
          It wasn't a planned ride so followed where ever I felt like aimlessly for a Few days alone....

                        Random, unplanned trips are the best at times. Kolkata-maithon stretch has a lot of good memories. Bring on the rest.

                          update on the triplog

                          Apologies for the delayed update on the thread.



                          26 November 2014
                          2pm


                          Post lunch, the lazy town of Deoghar, yet with its sublime cultural backdrop failed to keep me amazed.
                          I pondered a bit & decided to roam, again aimlessly. Within the reach of a few kms I came across
                          \\\\\\\"Naulakha temple\\\\\\\"

                          http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag111/anandroy3272/10001318_801359853254989_2587207238162148523_n_zps 0bb32f03.jpg

                          It was quite peaceful, silent, amidst the city(rather small town). Google had told me it had a history, I decided to spend some time here with one
                          of my books that I carried along for the trip. :P

                          My images are not getting uploaded between texts so i will continue with the post with several breaks & images
