Gopipura : Small hill behind Pawagadh

 Gopipura : Small hill behind Pawagadh  

Helical Stepwell and Ek Minar ki Masjid                   

               

Hi there,

             After not posting for a few weeks in a stretch to back to regular updates. I love writing here. I miss sharing our little trips and our feelings behind them... This time let us take you to a small hill just behind our mighty Pawagadh...

                           

                            

                                           

            This trip was done a few months back. We wanted kids to be prepared properly for the Pawagadh hike. So we selected hills around Pawagadh. This is a small hill near village Gopipura. Lots of mining work goes on there with many trucks. But if you go early on Sunday morning there won't be an issue. 

                      

                       

        It is quite a short and easy climb.  Kids were thrilled to do it and as it was super easy for them. You can do also do camping at the top.  And the beauty is, we were able to see sun peeping behind the Pawagadh.  

                      

                             

         From there we went to Ek Minar masjid and Helical stepwell, both of which were closed due to COVID. So will visit them soon.

                  

Hills

A small hill

Asked mighty mountains

I am not big as you

I haven’t been

Named as you

People are not

Achieving

Coming on top of me

Still, I am there

Seeing all

Guarding all

Noticing all

They come

They go.

They climb

They forget

Sometimes

They break me

destroy me

Why it’s like that?

The mountain answered

Every raindrop is an ocean

Every speck of dust is shore

Every note is a song

Every tear is an emotion

Every seed is a forest

Every idea is a discovery

Why look for magnitude?

It’s the infinitesimal 

It’s the minuscule

That makes the difference

That small fraction

That small smile

That one word

That one hug

That little help

That little grit

That matters

The most...

So

Don’t you worry Hill

We see you

We feel you

We love you

We care for you

The givings trees

The guarding forests

The bouncing streams

The smiling lakes 

The flowing rivers

The accepting oceans 

The peeping clouds 

The shining stars

The soothing moon

The burning sun

The forgiving Earth

We are in this together

People are foolish

About them

You don’t bother!!!
