World is a beautiful place. It stores lots of beautiful thing for all of us. But the biggest question is do we people really have the time to look at those creations of nature? We are surrounded by pain, failure, dreams, and the eagerness to achieve something really great. But these things with happiness, smile, success & peace define what is life in reality. As a human we all have to go through every phase, while coloring our & others life with all these emotions.
But how can these things stop us to look & appreciate those things this beautiful planet offers us. We all need to look at the beauty of nature, the innocence of those souls in animal skins, the coldness of water, the warmth of sunray, the vastness of the sea through all these different emotions. It’s quite a challenge for all of us for sure. But the person who can stand up to this challenge with head held high, can see the actual beauty of life and make life beautiful for others.
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” – Winston Churchill
Sometimes we all feel that we are going through hell. But we need to go through this hell to reach the heaven; just as there is light at end of every tunnel. I can say, it’s not an easy thing to do; as I am going through the hell myself in past few years. I know while you are going through hell, you will not find a person- to wipe off your tears, to hold your hand when you fall down, to tell you something which we will make you laugh out loud, who will listen to you without trying to judge you right or wrong.
Still during this stay of yours in hell you can make this hell look like heaven; just by changing the things you look through. If you will try to look everything through an artist’s eye, if you will search the innocence and peace through a child’s laugh, if you will try to feel the strength in your parents blessings, if you try to see the love through your partner’s eye; then everything can be tolerable while you are going through the hell.
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?” -Henry David Thoreau
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” -Michael Jordan
So go through all the struggle and obstacles of life, and try to see the world through all the beautiful things in life. Life will take you through a journey which will be the most beautiful one, you can ever experience.

No one really wants to go through the life. But Life usually does not ask us our wishes. 🙂
Yes I was sleeping when I noticed something through my window glass. So I captured it.
I am glad you liked this post Amira. 🙂

The temple looks interesting – I would want to go through the fence to be nearer 🙂
Arindam
March 26, 2012
Hi Colline. It would be a difficult task to go through the temple, as its height is too much to climb. This temple is situated at top of the hill. But you can take blessing from the goddess from nearer, then you have to climb stairs to get a top view of this temple.
Thanks a lot for visiting. 🙂

Hello Mags,

My mother told me when I was full of life and wondering which way I wanted to go, “You are like a pot of stew. You are busily putting all the ingredients in the pot, along with your sagacity and appropriate seasonings. It needs to simmer so the essence of each contribution will blend together and provide a flavour that, in and of itself, could not exist in any one ingredient.”
Keep your eye on the prize, Arindam, and your life will manifest in ways you would not imagine. I love that habit of life – to just fold over onto us. I think I’m going nowhere until I pause and look back. Where I stand at that moment had often been a dream – even one I didn’t think I dare hang on to.
Find your inner peace – you know you have it within – and, as you season, you will feast!
Arindam
March 26, 2012
I will do that for sure Amy Aunty.
Your mother must be a big support for you. What ever she said to you was so motivating and meaningful. It was something I have never heard anyone saying. Thanks a lot for sharing these words with me. I hope just like you these words will help me to reach where I want to. As always through this comment, you once again increase my belief in one more thought which I strongly believe; which is,”Dreams do become reality”. 🙂

Thanks a lot Patti. 🙂 I am happy to hear that, you enjoy my set of shots. To be honest I do not have much idea about the technicality of photography. I just click those moments which looks nice to me either by my cell phone or by cam.

I love your words as much as your photographs. Struggle is part of life, but how you perceive that struggle can make all the difference. Hell is only hell as long as you define it as such. Heaven is just a change of attitude, a new perspective. Go for it!
Arindam
March 27, 2012
Thanks a lot Judee. 🙂 “Heaven is just a change of attitude, a new perspective.”- it’s a perfect line to summarize the whole post. 🙂 Nice to see you in my blog and It’s al my pleasure to read this thoughtful comment of yours.

Namaste Shamaji!
Yes I will try my best to be the way I am. But to be honest situation changes a person. I hope life will not bring any such circumstance in my way, so that I have to change my belief and my personality.
As always thanks a lot for these kind words and blessing. You are really a wonderful person, I am glad to know you.
