Am I desperate?

A restless evening in lockdown, a backpack and a tripod, and a sunset over the sea.

A wide panoramic view from Torna Fort, with hills and sky.
Torna Fort, panoramic view. The last mountain I visited.

It’s been more than a month since I have been to mountains. And this distance was driving me crazy. I seriously had no clue about when I would get to meet them. Was feeling so trapped, just wanted to get out and leave somewhere. Alone.

She was very busy that day and I too. I know that she is happiest in all my happiness. She uphold such small happiness with great beauty.

उसने मुझे कुछ तोहफे दिए हैं अपने मन से जो मेरे मन मुताबिक हैं। गौर किया जाए तो ये सब महज है। ऐसी छोटी-छोटी खुशियाँ बहुत-ही खूबसूरती के साथ निभाती है वो।

I do not remember what I was doing but yes I was definitely going crazy. The needles of clock were in opposite direction. I made my decision and left the room with some of my treasures that she gifted me (backpack and a tripod).

On the way, I made a video call to her, look where I have come. But as I said, she was busy.

इस बस्ती में एक घर मेरा भी है।

Soon the wandering steps began to feel relaxing. Blue sky, flying birds, play ground, cricket pitches, players and a cameraman, felt like a perfect time to take out the tripod and shoot a time-lapse. Couldn’t spend much of time here since the sun was in a rush so I had to rush too.

Soon, I witnessed the sun dropping gradually. As the sun meets the sea again with the view of birds flying back to their homes was scenic.

The sun low over the sea at the end of the day.

My heart was not full but yes, it made me feel peaceful.
