Himalayas on Roerich

I was always fascinated by the Himalayas and their surrealistic, mystical beauty. My last trip to the Himalayas was 5 years ago, and I remember the fantastic timeless feeling they instilled in me. Time seems to have come to a standstill, in the obscure recesses of the Himalayas.

Here is a wonderful photograph named 'Himalayas on Roerich'. Named after Nicholas Roerich.

Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) was a russian who spent most of his life in the Himalayas, painting them with a crazy passion. Nicholas Roerich is considered a mystic by many.




This photograph reminds me of a poem I wrote in my college days.

"The orange glow of the evening sky,
teases my senses, allures me

I take a walk
and sit outside the 9th block

And watch mother nature's hypnotic dance

Sometimes ferocious, sometimes tender

Fast, furious, fierce, feisty...

I get mesmerised by her beauty...

and wish that the moment freezes eternally..."

**9th block was the name of my college hostel.
