Bhimaashankar

A tree by a well on roadside with fog in Bhimaashankar

Was just browsing through the old photographs taken by me. Found a good topic to post on my blog for Pune. There are many places I have visited in and around Pune. One of them is Bhimaashankar/Bhimashankar. The above photograph is showing one of the finest scenery of Bhimaashankar. It has the pure Indian natural beauty — Dense forest and vivid Indian wildlife.

Forest of Bhimaashankar

The place is a heaven. I visited it in the monsoon / rainy season — 03 July 2005.

Can you believe that this is photograph was taken at around noon?
This is one of my favorite photographs :)

Although I couldn't see most of it, the temple too was a great place. Wonder the road to the Lord Shiva temple is a slope. Most of the temples in India are built on hill-tops, or higher locations. This temple is on a lower ground.

Truly a wonderful place!

Respectable Human Being

According to humans, a respectable human being is a person who has achieved a good financial and social status.  He/she believes in relationship (may be for business, may be personal), which tightens and adds power to the society in fighting the inconveniences caused by nature.  He/she does this even if this creates inconveniences between and within humans.  He/she knows how to attract and use people, how to be in fame.

According to nature, a respectable human being is a person who as far as possible doesn't use the resources unless required for food/shelter.  He/she is a person who respects himself/herself, the nature and all the living & non-living things, even a dead rock.

The reason why GOD has sent us down on earth is to protect and flourish life on earth and other planets.  That's our duty.  Not utilizing every available thing even if it's required or not.

I am guilty of looting mother Earth.
