The Towering Ranga

A HALLIMAYOR PRESPECTIVE

Just by the look of it one is griped by the unusual rock
formation reaching out for the sky. An audacious free
hand chiseling dealt exuberantly by the vivid sculptor
called nature,a testimony of all its grandeurs.
This image is far from describing
what I really feel of these gregarious mountains
bestowed not only with visual appeals but the real
meta purpose of nature
in work to erode the highlands and fill up
the sea bed this ongoing process is what
baffles me to question the very
premise to preserve the environment.
The answers lies in the natures
realms and we have to see parallels in our
lives now don’t we eat to survive
even as we are destined to die?

So is conservation too….

O Mountains O Mountains of Things

11.12.2007
Internationl Day of Mountains.

a day for a mountains or should i say a date with a mountains,
in the era of perplexed fads for national days, international
days and days for all days.
The importance and the human dexterity to remember all these
days is fading non the less we will have more such days nominated
in the coming days(again days!!).
I rather take my share of an important day
in December the 11th.
UN has nominated December 11 as the
International Day of Mountains,
A day to revere, glorify and celebrate humongous mounts and
the petite mounds in the ecological scheme of
things their stature to quench human avarice is boundless.
We profuse about air and water as crucial to life on earth,
the mountain ecosystem is the vital anchors to air and water.
with the evident ghosts of climate change the mountains bear the physical
brunt’s, with the glacial retracts and its adversities, apart from the human exploits.
