Kadana dam : We love sunsets....

Kadana dam : We love sunsets...

Hello, 

        So this was the second place on the day of Holi. We went to Kadana Dam. We wanted to explore Ghodiyar village and Nadinath hills more but we didn't want to miss sunset also..

                      

                   

                            

            We sat at the river bank for some time... just sat silently, watched birds, threw pebbles in the river, and enjoyed the silence with ourselves. The calm water of the river was calming our minds and our souls. Just a little ahead of us a small boy came there with his goats, talking with them, letting them drink water from the river, and enjoying his work peacefully...

                      

                     

                We went to Kadana Dam viewpoint after that. There are two sites. One in dam per se and one is Dam viewpoint. You have to take the right turn from the Shri Hari restaurant and go uphill.  From this viewpoint, you can see the most mesmerizing sunset... there is another Shivaji temple at the top of the hill. usually, people go up there but we didn't go to the top point but just before that we found one amazing spot with just four of us...

                          

                It was like just four of us, glistening water of Mahi, a lonely boat far ahead just looking like a tiny dot, the vastness of the sky, the beautiful colors of the sunset, and the shining supermoon rising slowly just behind us...few moments in your life you will never forget and these moments are just like those for us...

                      

     

                           

                            

                 So that was a perfect Sunday for us... from a morning trip to Bakor to an evening trip to Kadana...

                  To conclude, our soul was feeling the same just like the quote of my favorite author..."For every time I see the sky I am aware of belonging to the universe rather than to just one corner of the earth."- Ruskin Bond. And this is what I wrote after this amazing sunset and moonrise...    

Circle 

Circle

Round 

Wheel

Dot

Bindu...

Whatever you say

Whatever you see

It makes things complete 

It makes life complete     

First thing that 

Comes to my mind

The sun

Shining brightly and eternally 

Without fail...

He doesn’t wait for anybody 

He comes and he goes 

Just like our circle...

Still, we find time

To see those dreamy events 

Because those moments are 

The momentum of this circle 

We all admire the crescent moon

Gibbous moon steals our heart

But 

When do you feel contempt

Like there is no other way around

The full moon

The moon spreading its light

So calmly into us

Seeking in our body and 

Enlightening our every cell 

Giving us the energy to fight for 

Another month 

Fight of survival 

Circle of mother’s bindi 

On the mirrors 

Of bathroom and dressing

Clean mirrors without them

Can show a nice and good image 

But what is nice and good 

Without heartwarming emotion in them? 

They make the mirror complete 

They join us with her smile

With her memories...

A first circle drawn by my kids

I didn’t know you were supposed to draw

From left to right 

Or the right to left 

School taught them that 

But with me

It was just balls and bindis 

And poori and luchis 

Maa said every girl should 

Learn to make Roti  

That is round

I thought why?

Why is that so? 

Now I understand 

It’s not roti  that should be round

It’s her nature...

To keep balance...

To keep motion...

No Matter what happens

To her family 

To herself

She should always come around

Just like this roti

It was her way of telling me

You can do anything 

You will do any impossible thing

Just keep going

Just like a circle...

So you see 

We love  all circles 

Be it roti or poori

Mother’s dreamy bindi

The sun and the moon

Circle of Raza’s paintings 

To circle of 

Captain America’s shield 

Because all circles 

Are you and me

Bindu. Dot. Spot

It doesn’t start 

It doesn’t end

It’s eternal 

Just like us...

It’s our consciousness 

It’s our conscience 

It is our energy

Because of it, there is harmony 

Let’s celebrate the circle 

Big like sun 

Or small like dot 

Because it is endless...
