When i am with nature …

11:16 PM Sunday

Just drove back from Yelagiri hills, a beautiful hill station located between Chennai and Bangalore. Feeling energized, feeling great and feeling top of the world.

This is not just because of my experience with the road side tea master or the evening drive on the beautiful national high way. Some thing else is the cause. This is not my first short break. I have gone on lots of trips and enjoyed lots of holidays at various places and countries.

Whether it was theme parks of Japan or Wonderla of Bangalore or be it MGM of Chennai or snow world of Hyderabad – I have got the maximum out of it and I have enjoyed to the peak. I do not leave a chance. I never wasted a single moments on those artificial beaches or on those artificial ice lands.

Today I have not done much. Parked the car, walked inside the private farm land, claimed on the rocks, experienced the valley, was with the grass and plants, climbed on the jack fruit tree and mango tree, plucked a raw mango and tasted it, sat on a huge rock , lost my self in the sight of the beautiful valley, got up after few hours and drove back home.

I did not do much here today. What was my event participation and activities in those theme parks and water world and what was my activity today at Yelagiri hills – There is a major difference. I did not do much today as compared to those events of theme parks and water worlds. But I am feeling more energized, boosted and more enthusiastic than I felt after experiencing those theme parks and water worlds. Now feeling I am on top of the world. How is this possible? What could be the reason…!?

I got it. When ever I go to any theme parks or water world or any artificial parks, It gives me temporary pleasure and I feel good. It wont long last.

But.. When ever I go in contact with valley, mountain, river, tree, flower, sea or any thing with nature, some thing is happening to me from within. What is available within me and what is available in the nature will get connected. It makes all the difference.

Though I was excited for theme parks and those giant wheels, my inner self feels it is not true and senses all those things are artificial. When I am with nature, my inner self senses the ‘one within me’ and the ‘one in the plant – valley – tree – sea – flower’ are one and the same. It gets connected. I loose myself in the nature. I experience a new experience. When I come out of my experience, I am new, more energized, enthusiastic, boosted and more exited.

I found my way in the valleys of Yelagiri hills. I decided to invest my time in myself and nature. I am on top of the world. When are you driving to your valley?
