Cloud number Nine /Bryan Adams [ Cloud Watching ]

 

I have been watching the sky. More specifically -clouds. No, I have not turned into a soothsayer, not yet. And yes, I am aware of the fact that I was not the only one watching -but I was the only one with camera taking snaps of the beautiful tapestry drawn up above.

The snaps were taken with my trusted camera phone showcasing what high quality gadgets you can buy these days. But this post is not about gadgets, I promise. For now, enjoy these thumbnail assortment and let me know if you can spot that elusive cloud number nine.

Heaven /Bryan Adams [ Meghalaya... ]

 

A few weeks back I had the fortune of taking a sudden decision to visit Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya in India. The journey by road was breathtaking to say the least -you get it all starting from long expansive roads on the plains of Bangladesh with rivers crisscrossing to the trek up the hill as you climb up to Meghalaya.

Meghalaya – justly named by Rabindranath Tagore, the greatest bengali poet that ever lived, is a land of mysticism and enchantment. Drizzling rains and evergreen foliage and the pines will mesmerize any visitor. I do not understand why people compared it to Scotland though, to me, Shillong has an entirely different appeal than the Highlands.

This is one of the best picture I have taken in that memorable journey. No, this is not from inside Meghalaya, as the plains of my motherland justifies – but still it gave me the first glimpse of Meghalaya -the home of the clouds – as it truly is.

Heaven is one of the most, all time, romantic songs sang by Bryan Adams. Meghalaya, in the same tune, can be termed as heaven.
