Great is the man with a heart; neither caste, creed nor birth - Samundratar., Nuwakot

Have you ever got so

emotionally attached and felt ever so loved in every place you go.,

that you never wanted to return home..?

Well., I Did..!

Relations we have with people we meet in out life play a vital role of sharing

smile, memories and time of our lives which last infinity & beyond

simply its what keeps us "ALIVE"
Like wise, the love affection, care, smiles and memories

i got from this place is something extra special..

Where they treated me as family and never felt this loved before..

It felt like Home..Nah.! it felt more than Home..!

Samundratar - "The people with the heart of gold"

August 12th, 014 - Tuesday

After hiking down from

the holy lakes of Gosaikunda, reaching Samundratar ; home was the best feeling..

felt like kissing the floor..

it was o'0843 hour

We hurried to rush home as we had to catch our bus which leaves at o'1000 hour

sang our  farewell to out beloved mama and family, as they were forcing us to say one more day.

 

Our mama's deliberately made us miss the bus by holding us in talks and it was alreayd o'1019 hour

we eventually missed out ride home 

o'1034 hour..we unpacked out stuffs and

our another mama; Narhari mama called us in his house at o'1154 hour.

we started chatting as always,

everyone had special smiles on their faces and talks that I'd never get bored of hearing

we almost ate dozens of sour limes with spices which tasted awesome

and then we were offered roti and alu tarkari..gosh.! they were delicious.

All people SMILE in the same language.. ^_^

Toad Mode ON

Well if you zoom closely you can see my shadow in the eye of  Toad

  o'1330 hour.. we took off to the bazar of Samundratar to roam around and see the village area

 

Village Walk..ON..!

Have to say living in the city and exploring in the village area is like

leaving Hell and roaming Heaven

way more awesome houses than in city

Trees has been rare in city area but here people and plants have a special bond

 

Enjoying the fresh air

Typical Nepali house. ah.! how i wish to live in house like this

Peaceful village with harmony between nature and people

Never be too busy to be Beautiful

 o'1449 hour..

We played caroms..

well Santosh., Samip dai., Saroj., Kishor & Basanta mama played

i sucked..
So, i roamed around the village to take some shots.

every time i see carom. i scene of Muna Bhai MBBS flashes right before my eyes

Dragon fly on wire

Spare Tiles

Chillies..and its colors just mesmerizing

Classic place everywhere and the stereo hanging were just simply cool

Seeing this Stereo..do you know what came up in my mind..
"My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo"

Chicken House

 

 Monochrome mode VS Normal mode

 I was back to the counter where guys were still playing carom

i sat down and i saw bunny in a box

they were mega cute

 I picked him up and kept him in the seat and well he just sat quietly and seems like he was posing

 o'1726 hour

we had our lunch and while talking an old man joined our pack and started chating with us

he criticized our every talk but it was a good criticism

We returned back home at o'1742 hour

Children were playing which is rare to see in Kathmandu

they were playing kitchen kitchen

Children are happy because they don't have a thing in their minds called "all the things that could go wrong".

following shots were taken on the way back home

we reached Basanta mama's house at o'1802 hour and we played cards till o'2048 hour

the moments were simply awesome the talks we had and shared

then we had dinner and the dinner was ..

wait let me explain in one word "WoW"

we then went to sleep as we had to catch bus home tommorw

August 13th, 014 - Wednesday

Woke up at o'0620 hour

Me and Kishor went to Narhari mama's place at o'0716 hour to sing farewell

but he held us there and offered us warm glass of milk

we talked and i took their family picture

 

Narhari Mama's family

Narhari mama's daughters

Bhagwan Mama's Residence

 o'0716 hour and we were off to Bhagwan Mama's house

where i took a family photo

Bhagwan Mama's family

Bhagwan Mama then sketched tika on our forehead., gave us blessings and farewell

this was my last shot of the day. i thought it was a bird on the roof but it was just a figure

We took off at o'0912 hour to bus station and again played carom till o'1000 hour which when we walked to the bus station and took our ride home

The bus ride was mega awful and congested,

and we promised we would never take the last ride home, ever again.

 

 Lastly with all of my heart
a day here at Samundartar was one of the best days of my life,

a day passed by in a flash

and the times spent here will remain in my book of memory till the end of me.

The new relation i have made..

The dinner and food i have had..

The memories and talks we had shared..

it will remain in my my memories till infinity and beyond
