Glorious Past

Oh yes! This is not how it is now. This is photo manipulation. I did edit it. Saturated the colors, tweaked the white balance and what not.

But, I'm sure this is not even close to how it would have looked in the glorious past. Centuries have past, colors have faded, millions and millions have left their foot prints, many invasions, destructions, countless thunders and storms, days and nights have passed.

What intrigues me everytime I visit a historical place or a monument is how time stands still and take us to the past. Every stone laid, every carving that's etched, architecture and technology used, sometimes a few ancient things draw me so much that I would like to believe I happened to be present during that particular age and now I have just returned to the place. Sounds weird. But the kind of attraction I feel towards the ancient or historical things which we don't own or never visited is inexplicable. Crazy stuffs apart... What are we leaving behind ? Concrete buildings? Ruined monuments? E- waste and  deserts? Is there anything that's remarkable post independence - that would probably stay and astonish for centuries to come? Nothing that I know of. ☹️🙄.

Thoughts...

God resides here. Under this beautiful ಗೋಪುರ, ಗರ್ಭ ಗುಡಿ . That passage has his foot steps, he does walk around. Oh! He's omnipresent... He's in those little ದೇವರ ಗೂಡು in your and my houses as well. He does walk around everywhere. Sometimes he paints the sky blue, sometimes red. Other times... a rainbow.. you name it, he has it! He's a ಕಲಾವಿದ. He knows what's right for you and me. He just put us out in his play, at times we play demons, and at the other times we play angels. Mid point? Cameo appearance. You see that? He does give us scope for adapting to different roles. Preparing us all for our highest good. You praise him, you blame him, nothing changes in his play. You believe it or not you're already in the characters he's put you in. If you're an atheist- that's your role here. If you're a believer, well that's just your role too. Don't get carried away. Chill. This all shall pass. Play your role. Pass on. Peace.

From Insta...

Sometimes,
Rather most often,
I feel disconnected from many people and many situations. I feel a void, I feel lack of information, lack of trust and lack of transparency.
Sometimes,
I be my own enemy,
I repel people who come close
And held people who want to repel.
Sometimes,
I see things aren't
What it is, and not even close
To what I had planned.
Not even a dot..
And then I look at the sky
Stare at the moon with no clue
I feel crippled.
I feel annoyed,
I feel loved,
I feel tied up.
I know,
I am all that is left
When I am in need of someone
Self sustainable survival.
.
Moon after a long time. :)
