Form The Eyes of The Lens

Starting of the new week "Sunday" was an drouzy morning was invited to B.S.T. School located in Balaju for some class photos. Gosh.! my school days flashed wide open in front of my eyes., seeing all the kids running around.

Gosh.! Memories to Cherish.!

Work Done.!

Wondering where to Go next. Walking by the Balaju, Bypass road. I saw a micro with locations like Jardakhu, VediGoth, Padmasal and Kavreisthali which i never heard in my life.

Then Gosh.! NatGeo lines popped in my mind saying "Let's Get Lost". With Cancy, Fuzzy and Standsy with me. You might be wondering who are they..hehe.. :D They are my life, my cameras & stand..

Took a micro bus from Bypass, with a 30min halt there it finally hit the road at o'1233 hour.

Never been to the place where the vehicle is going..Just made up my and mind and decided to get off in the last stop..Which was at the turning of a Peepal Tree in Thaati, Kaversthali. it was o'1309 hour.

With the sky rumbling with slight drops of rain, i thought "hell today's gonna be a drip..!"

Well i kept walking the way up the path way wondering where it leads.

A bit of hike and The village started, Old typical village houses, the crops, the domesticated animals, flowers, birds chippering, water rumbling, butterflies flying..

I asked my self "is this a part of Kathmandu.."

The trail i walked into

It was o'1333 hour

The place was, is and i hope it always look awesome and the environment doesn't feel like Kathmandu". Cool wind over my hair and grass all over the place. Heading forward the trails, a women asked me "where am i from and what am i doing here.?" I replied "just exploring, taking pictures and i am from Teku.." my mind was just gonna say Kathmandu.. hahaha.. :D also asked where the trail leads. She also asked\answered "did you come alone, its jungle up ahead and bhotae gaau to the left." and well i replied "yup.! alone but i have my cameras with me" :) thanked her and walked up to explore.

You wont belive what i saw "A KingFisher".
I was amazed too A KingFisher in Kathmandu, well there are but rare.
The can also be found in the Garden of Dreams, Kasier Mahal at Thamel.

Pathway to the jungle or Bhotae gaau

The trail was worth to walk peaceful and awesome environment with mother nature at its best.

I ended up in a small water fall and i was wondering how would it look when there is more water flowing, Small water falls,
Gosh.! There are butterflies allover the place and plants with various type and some dragon flies too.
and the most WOW moment was when i saw
A Spider with Green Back
It was Astonishing..
Well mother nature was mother nature at its best and beauty as always.
Grabbed Cancy and Fuzzy started taking some shot.

well its dried up but i was wondering how would it look in rainy season

^___^

It was already o'1400 hours and the weather was improving but i cant seem to find Bhotae gaau all i see is jungle and small water falls. The trail seems to come to an end at a small water fall.. Dead End confused and the word of the lady saying "Did you came along it a deep jungle up ahead" came up in my mind and well no trails to be found only slanting up hill climbs, i decided to return back.

Walking back i saw group of lady bugs which was quiet amazing i have only seen this on TV. It was an awesome moment. Accompanied by lots and lots and lots of butterflies and birds chippering.

And

An AWESOME Caterpillar that i didn't wanna loose my sight off.

Lady Bug family

I actually don't know the name of the bird but its Hair style matches to mine

Simply awesome

My writing spot that day

Way back, i was searching for the spot where i could write a journal and my experience for toady.

It was o'1458 hour and decided to stay in a end of a small bridge with sun blocked by a tree, sitting on shades.

I started writing and at that moment it was o'1503 hour.

Many Villagers passed by the bridge and i also spotted King Drango or Kalo Chibae called in Nepali.

As always i was taking some shots., and along came a elderly lady (whom i called "Taama" i.e. Thulo mumi in Nepali) and she said "will you take our pictures. Standing next to the figures" (in Newari) and even she whispered (i guess he doesn't understand our language).

As being a kid from Newar community i replied in Newari and said "Yup.! i do understand you and why not i would love to take your pictures., just be ready and smile".

After, the pictures both Taama said "will you only take pictures or also bring them to us".

i smiled and said "if you want them sure i will drop by" she showed her home and well i promised her to visit her coming Monday.

Two Taama i was telling you about

They asked me where i was from and what i actually did. As being my ancestors form Kirtipur as well i told them our Grand father were form here and all the things i could share. They even called me along for a lunch with Chiya., Kheer and Alu Kawab. Even with the tummy well full gosh it was amaizing.

They treated me as one of their own son., which i felt very heart touching.

Tamma who offered me the lunch and well they also requested me to bring their photos to them

The speech/story of the life of Gautam Buddha was told by the high priest as it was Buddha Jayanti, the birth Anniversary of Lord Gautam Buddha.. the all prayed for Peace and harmony among people..

While i was passing by the croud one of another elderly lady stood up and invited me to her home and also told me there were two 12feet stading tall buddha figures back of the Chilancho stupa and down the alley.

well curiously i did rushed down the alley to see the standing figure of Gautam Buddha.

All people we so welcoming and also said me to stay a bit longer but gosh i would stay longer but my bad i left my memory pack back at home.

Shame on me.
