Silver Star

Drops of water scattered from the hard-whittled-dark rocks.


The sky-capped trees created a dark-thick ambience around the waterfall. The inexistence of human was due to the existence of the callous-wild beasts under the green canopy of the forest. But there lived the people of dark, who wanted to conquer the world, the Xeneos.
And beside that waterfalls lived the Ozeos, the race of human with virtues, the race of human who waited for the beam of light. The sounds of chimes and prayers filled the atmosphere which was flavored with the scent of sandal, ghee and innocence of monks.
With them was the vase, the vase which created happiness to their race and jealous to the Xeneos. The vase was a sign of happiness-the cause of keeping the evil away from them, both of which Xeneos lacked in their race.
The silver-star at the chest of Ozeos-which is visible only to the Ozeos differentiated them from Xeneos. There were normal people from the valley who found out their silver-star and joined Ozeos. Ozeos believed that it was God who found out their descendents to protect their race.
*************************************
The chimes made vigorous sounds.  The calm city of Ozeos was crowded. The monks wore a dull mask of sadness over their faces. Something wrong has happened.
The princess came out of her monastery. The mask over her face failed to hide her elegant beauty. The monks bowed on seeing her.
“Princess… We await your orders” He still didn’t look at her face.
“It shouldn’t be in wrong hands, but we can assure that only good things will happen in the presence of the vase”
“We are all set to recover it, your majesty” Saying that they climbed upon their horses and darted like a storm.
The prayers of monks and their rituals lingered in the air. Princess was worried.
“Don’t be panicked. The vase won’t reside with the Xeneons, which is our belief” said the old monk with a fine exhale.
*************************************
The Commander of the Xeneos crossed the waterfall. No one ever dared to cross the river. There was no entry to both the kingdoms but he did, with the vase in his hands. The entry of one from the other race was believed to be start of a fiasco.
“Well done boy”, the king congratulated him throwing gold coins at him.
*************
“Hon, look what I have brought you”, the queen of Xeneos opened her eyes and gazed at the king.
“The vase”, her cheeks curved. Teeth shined. Eyes widened and she blushed.
“For our baby, so that only good things will happen to him”, said he while handing over the vase to her.
She giggled and held the vase close to her tummy while sending him out. It was her dream to get the vase from the Ozeos.
** ** **
“Hail the king, The baby girl is born”
“Great. Start the celebrations”
His eyes filled with happiness. He has got his descendent. He darted to the room to meet his baby.
“Hey, look at you” he grabbed her little hands and kissed. The vase was placed just near to the baby.
“Look hon, The good things are on its way. Now we have got a beautiful princess” Saying that the king laughed.
Yes, the good things had started to occur. No one could see the Silver-Star on the baby’s chest. God had chosen the descendent for Ozeos.

Glacier National Park: Day 1- Grinnell Glacier

Glaciers are formed by the repeated snowfalls in winter, and snow melts in summer. When snow accumulates by each passing snow fall, the snow becomes ice and heavy. This causes the mass of ice+snow to move around shaping and corroding the rocks. For this reason the mountains surrounding the glaciers will have very unique shapes, steep drop off points and can have sharp edges. Sad thing though, as temperature increases by global warming, the snow gets time to melt away and glaciers will slowly disappear. I read that, glacier national park had so many glaciers,which now dont even exist.

Glacier National park: Day 2- HighLine Trail

Our plans for the second day at glacier was to drive the 'Going to the sun road', and hike the HighLine trail. Going to the sun road is 50 mile very scenic drive through the mountains. It can be accessed from the east entrance at St Mary or the west entrance at West Glacier. We chose St mary, thinking we could watch the sunrise over St Mary lake when we start the day. The scenic road can be done by park's free shuttle system too. They are free and make stops at all attraction points along the route. Since we had to reach the other side of the mountain, we took our car.  The highest point on the route is Logan Pass which is home to two very beautiful and breathtaking trails, Hidden Lake trail and HighLine trail. The 12 mile HighLine trail is carved through the Garden Wall mountain ranges, you walk through a very narrow trail which is made right through the mountain. Though a lil scary this is a highlight of Glacier National Park.They also have a hand rail hung to the m...

La La Land

This is one of the trips that I thought would be a fully urban feel and turned out not to be! La has its own fair share of everything;beaches,canyons,markets,gardens and the posh city life. We reached LA on the night of 26th April. We were staying near to the beaches, so it was a short drive from airport. Once we landed we grabbed dinner and shopped for water and snacks for the rest of the week. By around 10'o clock we were all set to hit the bed.
