Soul Strokes

Soul Strokes Follow for fun travel stories and healthy lifestyle bits! I love all things traveling, pets, rain They started as hobbies but now have turned into much more.

Travel, Photography, Fashion, Painting: The four pillars of my life. These are the things that get my creative juices flowing and bring excitement in my otherwise mundane life. I think it's very rightly said that to lead a happy life turn your "vacation" into your "vocation". I believe I have converged the two finally and I hope I do justice to it now. Through this Blog I am trying to venture into

yet another domain and use my experiences & talents to put forth the best there is to see and read that might make you smile and come back for more. Hope you enjoy my little endeavour!! xoxo SoulStrokes

There's power in Courage & Action!โœŠโฃ
โฃ
I was just reading War of Art by Steven Pressfield where he mentioned that anything worth doing, anything that will bring you closer to your dream life will meet resistance from your brain. โฃ
โ€ข Any diet or health regimenโฃ
โ€ข Education of every kindโฃ
โ€ข Finance managementโฃ
โ€ข Anything to get your creative juices flowingโฃ
โฃ
All this and more is bound to be resisted by the monkey brain that jumps from Netflix, to partying, to binge watching, to sleeping, to any excuse at all looking for instant gratification. โฃ
Your job, is to gather the courage and start with a little step.โฃ

There's a sweet joy in making it to the top, finally setting eyes on the views you came all the way for. The pain (if any) vanishes there for a few moments leaving one with the satisfaction and in my case some really cold chills up the spine. The picturesque mountains felt like someone painted the sky with sheer joy.๐Ÿ˜ โฃ

I am a newbie trekker and haven't done any major treks yet that demand more than a day. Amongst all the peaks I have climbed so far this one was the most difficult.๐Ÿ˜…โฃ
โฃ
It's an easy and scenic walk till Tungnath but the walk beyond Chandrashila was an absolute pain. I gave up at least 5 times on that route thinking what more will I see there, the same mountains and just 360 sight so what's the point, right? But it's all thanks to you that I got the will to climb up. Thank you for not giving up because watching you go slow and steady was all the strength I needed.๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿซกโฃ

I got up at first light on this beautiful, chilled January morning to witness the range in all its glory.๐Ÿงฃ While it was still cloudy, I ordered a cup of tea and sat on a bench, keeping my fingers crossed, hoping to get a clear view, even if its just for a minute. The sun started glowing slowly and my nose and toes appreciated the little warmth. ๐ŸŒค๏ธSipping hot water slowly, camera by my side, and nothing but the sound of winds and my hope.๐Ÿคžโฃ
โฃ
Arrival of tea made me smile. โ˜• I hadn't yet had a sip but just the sight of it brought some relief to my cold body and restless mind. And the moment I poured my cup to devour it in silence, there it was. ๐Ÿคฉโฃ
Clear as Crystal. โฃ
The mighty beauty! ๐Ÿ”๏ธโฃ
โฃ
After staring for a few seconds, I picked my camera in a jerk and clicked some shots as best as I could and as fast as I could. I called my family out without moving my gaze and was happy to see their smiling faces. We all stood there chatting and soaking in the view we had been hoping to see for the last 3 days. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™โฃ
โฃ
As I was heading back to my room after staring at this view for a good hour, I saw that cup of tea. Ice cold by now!

โฃโฃ
No rush of running out of the house, no phone by the side, you and your thoughts, morning wind on the skin, soaking in the early light, cherishing that first cup of tea with the melody of birds, the mild aroma of cooking from neighbouring houses and the hugs and kisses of loved ones.โค๏ธโฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Contemplating your days and visualising how this one with a slow, lovely start is going to shape out is something that I now truly enjoy. โฃโฃ
I don't get these more often cause I am not yet a morning person completely. But the days I manage to, it's either a book or my journal that keeps me warm company.๐Ÿค“โฃโฃ

Stayed at this cute little airbnb on my recent trip to Pondi. The quiet, the pooja scent, the design with a gorgeous open verandah in the centre all made me smile everytime I crossed it. So glad to have picked it.๐Ÿ’œโฃโฃ
