Mountains are magic!

 Nature itself is a sorcerer. Any, literally any form, every mode of, nature is unique. It is sheer magic. It is hence but natural that not only the butterfly but even a worm, too, is unique, special, and, oh, yes, has a beautiful pattern.

No wonder, mountains, one of the mightiest forms of nature are not merely majestic; they are magical, too. Like the sea. Both are magnificent. Both have varied forms. Hillocks that dot the skyline of a city to a high-rise, sky-scrapping peak, mountains meet in multiple varieties.

Each one is unique. Every one is special. A Puneite, who stays near Swargate, swears by Parvati, while the witchery of the Vetal Tekdi allures the trendy Poona-wallah's of the Prabhat Road, S.B. Road types. 

Yet nothing, no personal priorities, no individual preferences, no private partialities can blind anyone when it comes to the majesty of the Himalayas.  Every nook, each corner of the narrow road opens up vistas that are 'visions' in every sense of the term. 

Here you wander lonely with the wispy clouds. These clouds are with you, around you, above you, below you, behind you, in front of you! Use any adverb of place, in brief. They would not fail you. Their misty presence adds a unique charm to the mountains.  At times, the diaphanous clouds hide the roughness of the craggy edges, softening them in to magical beauties. Like Cindrella's magic glass slippers! In this fairy tale though, there is no vicious midnight alarm. Instead, these princely patterns allow the peeping sun to add a unique golden glaze to each edge, every slope.

Be it the magical mist or be it the bubbling streams, nothing about these huge presences is threatening or frightening. Forever inviting, theirs  is a very protective presence. Their very Rishi like presence is meditative. They invite you to be free, to be imaginative, to be poetic. Moutains are beyond  boundaries. Not to be contained in any way. Mountains are magic!

Pratima@ Am traversing through the Chamoli region where every curve of  the narrow road brings you face to face with a dream(y) view! Wish that human interventions, interferences, impositions will not destruct these eternal  abodes of beauty, peace, and PRESENCE!
