a Photo a Day theme

As crazy as the thoughts get, it gets that much harder when you sit down to ink. The sudden gush of thoughts erases the words out of your brain and if you had a mirror to look into, you know how your face would look. Hence I have been thinking a better way to keep posting everyday is with the help of a photograph. Every photograph has an emotion, a meaning, a tale to tell & the best way to bring them alive is to write about them...

Why am i waiting ?

This photograph dates back to 2006. We came by bus from Murudeshwar to Kundapur soon after breakfast. The view on both sides of the road was mesmerizing. And to favor the journey, our bus from Kundapur to Bangalore was scheduled later in the evening. Having watched the rivers, the sea & greenery all around, we decided to walk the 14 kilometer stretch from Kundapur to Maravanthe. Maravanthe is the heaven on earth where the river Souparnika meets the Arabian Sea. We walked enjoying every moment though there were moments when we lost our breath. It was indeed worth every step, the view of the mighty ocean & the singing river can only be experienced. We were so thrilled, amazed & proud of the moment that we dozed off for an hour or so in the nearby coconut groove.

This photograph taken with the sun above our heads, the smiles with the burnt face tells me life is about decisions you make. Had we not decided to take this walk, we probably would not have this record of a 14 kilometer walkathon in our lives. I am yet to break this record of mine. I simply should decide ?
