gokarna

The place of Lord Shiva which has people indulging in all the sacred activities beneath  an open blue sky which stretches beyond any boundaries and the setting sun makes you revel in the most scenic and beautiful sunset which I have ever witnessed. The wind and the waves fighting it out to create a melancholy that urges you to just sit beside them and let them hit your face with a message that " thou art a fool".A fool who indulges in the vagaries of life and thinks about the worldly pleasures in turn loosing out on the intrinsic pleasure which nature has bestowed upon us to witness and be a part of that experience to make it one of the cherished moments of your life. The moment when you were all alone with no one besides you to worry about ,no one besides you to trouble you , no one to say hurry up you are losing the race. Such is the magic of the place that you start wondering of setting up a shack there itself and spend rest of your life deciphering and solving the mysteries that the nature has got to offer. The waves coming and touching your feet,sinking of the sand beneath your feet giving the clue that everyone has to sink one day into the same sand and the more closer you get to nature more clearer are the mysteries of life. The waves clashing against the boulders in midst of ocean and on the shores depicting the struggles of man in his life.Then the peacing out of waves representing the ways  a man sometimes gives up but then stands again and strikes the huge boulders to break it down through a process of years is exactly symbolic of the grit and determination of great men. Arrival of them on shore marking the entry of a baby into this world when all people on the shore rejoice by being a part of that phenomenon by jumping into it or by lying down and relishing the moments just quickly followed by the retreating waves depicting the departure of someone from the world as soon as someone new comes into the world. The retreating waves make people sad and wait for another one to come and hit them once again to rejoice the moment. Thus truly depicting the cycle of life and birth and the period between it. This is what nature shows and you can decipher it if you are yourself a true nature lover.
