Distance Relationship
Distance Relationship!!! (Please read the story till the end)
I have often felt mountains and valleys by its fragrance and sounds. Apart from being a visual treat and cameraman’s paradise, mountains make you calm. As if they are telling you and looking at you from the above, “if me being a mountain can stand still, you still are a human”!!!
Little tired after 32 hours of journey from Ahmedabad to Dalhousie, I opened the door of my room and started settling down. Just a while ago, the sun had set and the valley was quiet and cold. Settling my rucksack, I could hear my breath. Few birds at a nearby tree were about to call it a day and I could hear their mild chirping.
But my peace soon got distracted by heavy bass beats echoing in the valley. Following the sound, I reached the end of the cliff and could see a hotel down had few special guests. A corporate company was celebrating its achievement with some “Star” performers on the hotel terrace. Still, in their formals, guests were dancing on raunchy dance numbers raising their glasses.
I called the helper from the hotel and asked to help me arrange a table chair at the end of the cliff facing the dance party. Feeling the cool breeze, I sat and opened a bottle of Old Monk (dark rum) and raised a toast to the distance relationship I have with the mountains!
On one side there were people dancing and celebrating their job and on another side, it was me who had just set free from the chaos!!
really touching story writing
