Walks, trees and shadows

Morning walk at Pune university
Morning walk at Pune university
There are parts of the Pune university campus which have large old trees with significant canopy that create shadow zones so necessary for walkers.

I realised today that while I seem to be deep in my thought process while walking as well as swimming, walking is far more enriching as the visual around you keeps changing every minute. There is hardly a monotony.  Swimming is certainly enjoyable but lacks this aspect of walking or cycling for that matter.

Colourful bylane

Cycling on Mandalay Line Mandalay line in Range Hills at Khadki is one of my favourite areas for cycling. It is quiet with little traffic. It passes via what used to be the Bomb Disposal Squad campus. Their unit shifted sometime ago. Last week when I was cycling on this stretch, noticed this bylane with brilliant colours of Bougainvillea and Gulmohar . The presence of a red car and a black dog who kind of posed for this picture, added the drama. (Pune, June 2022)

Fathoming the Sky and beyond

Fathoming the Sky and beyond Many years ago, I went to Delhi from Mumbai on the 6 am flight of East West Airlines. There were only 12 passengers in that Boeing 737 I suppose. That day I realised what an experience it is to see the rising sun through the clouds. The colours start changing gradually and each moment is lived differently. The best part is that none of the colours are loud. They are all subtle, deep and meaningful. Beckon you to explore. In perfect solitude.
