Why does nature have so many colours?
When I saw sir’s recent tour photos I thought I should share them with you all. He was initially reluctant to share them with me saying the usual dialogue that ‘he was an ant without antennae and so on’ but at last he gave me the permission to post them on this blog (perhaps he couldn’t withstand my pestering and hurled a few photos). I didn’t stop there and as I haven’t contributed any thing to this blog for the past few days, I wanted to add a few words to the photos. So I posed a question to sir, thinking that I had asked a profound question and expected a philosophical reply . “Why is nature so full of colours?” But soon I realized how foolish my question might have sounded. He shot back “Why shouldn’t it have?”. Soon he switched to his usual soothing and pleasing tone as if not to hurt me and said that nature can be enjoyed more immensely only when we do not probe the cause for its existence or try to look for the justification for the presence of variety. There can not be anything that is useless or purposeless in nature. we should not waste our precious time in trying to decipher it.We should only be glad that we are not colorblind. We can create neither the eye nor the colours in the nature. So thank the God for giving us the eyes and also the beauty to take pleasure in. I got something to post now.
Sir in Himachal Pradesh
Sriram sir in Kasouli, Himachal Pradesh.
This place is 70 km from Simla.
There is an Anjaneya temple here. It is believed that Lord Hanuman landed on this place before jumping on to the Sanjeevani Hills to get the Sanjeevani herb for Lord Rama’s brother Laxmana.
