The highlands of Scotland majorly touched me with the pristine beauty around - lush greenery , clouds n rains n sunshine .. all together at the same time..somehow could feel the appropriateness of the saying "heaven on earth", wont have been surprised had Lord Shiva arrived and said "tatthasthu" :)and then certainly the idea of preserving the old establishments and memories in d form of "castles".. after coming back to India , i was always bearing that romantic panorama in my eyes n d feeling in my soul, longing to go there again.
Its raining hard in and around Maharashtra - the green city of Pune seems to have dispersed romance everywhere, the two parallel mountain ranges visible from our balcony keep playing hide and seek taking aid of the shower curtains :).. the Western Ghats n change in weather brought in the reminisces of the Scotland memories and somehow i could strike a similarity between both. Its the same feeling of romance - and then a trip to Lonavla.. the mountains getting immersed in the clouds and playing hide n seek with each other.. rains n clouds n sunshine n springs here n there .. d same serenity dwelling around ! Suddenly I realized that romance is a state of mind n can invade you newhere with things turning you on! At the same time, I could see that our country is equally nature rich n beautiful as those exotic spots outside the country. Having enough time to soak in the romance, the hills of Lonavla are bound to swipe you away in your dreamland n have a joy ride in the swings there :) I m sure every romantic would agree with me on the feeling of romance everywhere if u have that mind set and the environment everywhere at every stage in life ...
By the way , my terrace gives me a nice spectacle of two parallel ranges of the Western Ghats always changing colors, sometimes disappearing in the clouds, playing with the rains... makes me mad at times when they keep changing their appearance too often n get drenched in the heavy downpour ... being a romantic i cant stop myself having the goosebumps at any such instance :)
