Yamuna Ghat
These foggy mornings don’t allow one’s heart to get out of the cozy blankets and get ready to start the day. With the sun not blessing the Earth with its golden dazzling light yet. But remember, the team has only got up to live this exciting moment. A phenomenon that happens every day but gets lost in the busy life of achieving something greater. The members have taken out there time to experience this sensation. The sensation of leading from darkness to light.
The twin sister of
God of death Yama, we come to give our greetings to the Yamuna River, as the
river is well famed for adding beauty to many scenic views to where it flows,
it’s also regarded as one of the eight consorts of Shri Krishna. We were told
by the boatman who took us ahead of the shore that bathing or drinking in
Yamuna’s waters is believed to wash away all sins.
As the Sun rises
above the horizon coloring the sky blue. The seagulls woke up ready to begin
their feast. The flock crossed our eyes and smoothly landed on the surface of
the river. The orange gleam laid its net on the clear water flashing its beam
in our eyes capturing the fish of beauty with its shaft. The miraculous moment
can’t be explained by words it even leaves a writer without words.
The dangling of
the boat reminded me of “Harry Potter”. How the first years traveled to the
castle using boats. Reliving these fantasy moments was sure to make the trip
more fantastic. The members were bound by the spell of nature but reminded of
their duty. They took out their cameras and started recording to show everyone
who wasn’t lucky enough to get a chance to see this fascinating moment. From
following the direction of birds to focusing the camera for the best shot, from
focusing on the saffron light to the skies blue. Getting up early sure paid
off.
After a while, the orange glow turned to blue as for now, the river was reflecting the blue of the skies above. The white of the seagulls was in contrast with the blues of the river. The freezing Friday morning turned into a fascinating one.
