I woke up with a groggy start today after a rather dramatic day yesterday and my thoughts went back to Sikkim. I was there for just a few days, staying at the Club Mahindra’s Royal Demazong property near Gangtok and my only crib was I just didnt have enough of it. Being on the road took most of the time and I would have , given an option just preferred to stare at the mountains from the balcony all day. At 5.30 am, when the mountains were still drenched in rain, the whistling thrush used to greet me with a song . I woke up with a sore throat and a heavy sinus, but couldnt resist standing in the balcony, losing myself in the mountains
Looks like a beautiful and relaxing place to be. And what a view to have from your balcony…stunning!
City throats,
pothole sinuses,
hot water bottles,
gargles
and sleep.
When
all you need
is a whistling thrush
to power your
throat response;
and
undulating mountains,
deep misty valleys,
earthy rain
and the cleanest
pine air
urging a stuffy sinus
to give up.
A deep breath
a cup
of adrak clovy tea,
and a namaskar
to the morning sun
arriving
over the mountains….
Looking forward to more Sikkim pictures !

Am reminded of the George Baker song:
When the sun shines
on the mountains!
Amazing picture!
