White Sands, Green Groves and Blue Seas

Kashid is a beautiful beach town on the shores of the Arabian Sea in Maharashtra. Its situated around 170 km from Pune and takes around 4 to 5 hours to reach.

Kashid was my first encounter with the sea in the 25 years of my life. I have always been a mountain and hills kind of a person. But the serenity of Kashid cast its spell on me.

White sand beaches, blue seas, green mountains, paddy fields, and rivulets, Kashid is a delight for anyone who wants to get away from the humdrum of city and spend sometime in peace with nature.

The monsoons had laid a carpet of green in the nearby rocky hillocks and Casuarina groves and the sudden spurts of rain sprinkled dance steps on the leaves of the trees. I wish I could have stayed for the sunset but maybe it was not meant to be this time. Spending a week or so with friends in the sleepy coastal twon would be an amazing experience and of course a lot many more photographs.

Rejuvenate

Its amazing how colours come to life in the rains.....I love this place....So Rejuvenated.

Rain Rain Rain

Its amazing how the earth comes back to life once the monsoons are here. India becomes a different country with happiness shining through the wet earth everywhere. Different shades of green emerge through the disappearing brown and birds find new song in their lush surroundings. Staying on a hilltop of a campus in Lavale, Pune I have a first hand experience of the serenity and fury of the rains.

Love happens in the rains.......Hopes surface......playfulness finds a new turf.....and colours gather a new meaning.

When a distant flute's music finds its way to your ears and the winds start caressing your face and you watch the colours play mix and match in the sky, the soul finds its freedom and the heartbeats stop.
