Patna-Scapes

The many months of the COVID 19 pandemic had kept me cooped up and cloistered in my home-cum-office. It was only when the office re-opened that I realized just how much my waistline had expanded! None of my trousers fit any longer, and the trail-room reflections of my beleaguered belly have not at all been kind! 

For the last few mornings, I have started my new venture to discover the walking -trails in my city Patna, with the hope that this will help me find a fitter newer myself. While that hope will take time for realization, and will depend on my resolve and consistency; there certainly are delightful perks of the morning walks themselves. While the days have alternated between walks along the river Ganga, with the fresh morning river breeze and the trail within the well-wooded area of Patna biodiversity park (better known as the zoo!!); the real treat has been the visual delight that nature provides. Here I am, unable to write any longer but in a hurry to share with you the Patna-morning-scapes! Happy viewing!!

Even in dying embers, lights up if there is but a spark. Finds and trudges on towards that distant light,  amidst deepest darkness. No mountain too high, no sea too wide, to climb, to cross. 'Tis hope, That keeps us going on. 'Tis hope, That makes us stay. 'Tis hope, That lightens up the load.  'Tis hope, that the seed, dormant for many years, once sown, finds life. Romans 15:13  - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 1...

Mysteries in the Mist

Image
I am not a regular viewer of Netflix or Amazon prime, but two web series and one film captured my viewing interest. What got me binge watching these, though not in one go, was a combination of familiar location and local actors coupled with compelling stories and engaging drama. The first I watched was "The Last Hour", a mystery story based in Sikkim, with glimpses of  a familiar school: Dr Graham's Homes in Kalimpong. The story revolved around a local shamaan or Jhakri, who uses his uncanny sense of the nether world for solving the mystery. The second, a movie, called "Jaane Jaan" with the recurring theme of murder mystery in the mist, this time featuring a Darjeeling school: Mount Hermon. The mathematics teacher in this movie, uses his dogged persistence in solving maths problems to become part of the murder mystery solution. The most recent one "Pataal-lok-Season 2", another murder mystery story shot on location in Nagaland. The location in the fina...
