Unwinding in the Lapse of Nature @ Girivan

Aside Posted on Updated on

So most of us live in an artificial and man made virtual world which is full of worries, stress and false things. Last week I was in stressful situation and really wanted some way out of it. When we drive our car continuously for a long stretch, the engine gets heated. In order to avoid car breakdown, engine coolant is used which keeps the engine running smoothly on miles long journey. I see the nature in same way. Our mind gets heated up due to daily stress (and emotional dramas of course) and to ensure that we don’t break down, some kind of coolant is required. This is where nature comes to rescue. Just find some time to relax in the lapse of nature and rest assured you’ll feel recharged! Somehow I managed to find a place called “Girivan” which is located in proximity of scenic Western Ghats. I decided not to miss this opportunity of getting close to nature…

Here is the photo-journey…..

Dense evergreen forests and deep mystic valleys are peculiar characteristics of Western Ghats…
