Under the Mountain Unknown people
Every living thing knows that idle life is misery, that change is an element of life, and that staying in one place for too long is suffocating. However, we never know why we go through certain stages of life. We all get stuck in life and become shortsighted about our future at some point in our lives. When we look deep at ourselves at such times, we realize what our true priorities in life are.
"Hope" is a fundamental motivator that propels us on. We all understand the boundaries to draw and outlooks towards inner peace as we walk through the midst of hegemony in life. Every voyage gives me a sight to redefine my view of the world, something I believe I could never acquire through books or libraries. Real-world experience is one of those things that solidifies your hopes and makes you strong. It also helps you conquer your fears and insecurities. In this way of life, in the Himalayan foothills, I met a couple of interesting folks. Ram, a Nepalese flute maker and flautist, was one such person. He moved to India when he was younger and began his life there, and despite the fact that it has been 22 years, he still sells flutes and plays ragas, amplifying the lost tranquilly. As a flautist, I can attest to the excellence of his playing style, but aren't all good things praised and celebrated? This raises several questions. I see dedication in this man, I see passion in this man, but I don't see avarice in his heart, only love for his music, and I believe that's why he's never become well-known. This was a true epiphany for me since not all successful people are talented, and not all talented people are successful, and success has been redefined anew. Success is a personal perspective, and while he may not be successful in my eyes, he may be successful in his own way, right?
| Courtship feeding |
The walk under the mountain continues, this time to view unknown birds in the foothills; I strolled for hours to appreciate the beauty of birds. The walk provided me with the opportunity to witness Plumheaded Parakeet courtship behaviour. We may have asked why it is necessary to present gifts to our partners on special occasions, but this has evolutionary relevance as well. A nuptial gift, also known as courtship feeding, is a material gift given to your partner before to courtship; in some animals, it may be a nutritional gift to improve reproductive success. I witnessed a male providing nutrional food to a female parekeet as part of their mating ritual in this couple of parekeet. Again, I discovered that it is always a good idea to invest in some reasonably priced gifts or seek restaurants that serve wonderful cuisine that fulfils our partners' appetites.
At the end of the day, I met a couple who fascinated me by showing me the beauty of the world from the top of the mountain and the beauty of the dazzling metropolis from the mountain's foothills. The beauty of a place fluctuates depending on the angle from which it is viewed; nevertheless, if we know when and where to sit in the right spot at the right time, everything around us is stunning and shines like a diamond.
Redefining our thoughts and outlook on life is an important part of life, but it can never happen if we are unwilling to tolerate people's differences. My perspectives keep changing, and my grasp of life is limited, but I am always keen to learn more.
