A walk in Andretta

by reyaz badaruddin

This is my one of the favourite walks. I keep returning to this field through the seasons, drawn by the quiet and the peace it brings. The Dhauladhar range stands in front—snow-covered in winter, sometimes hidden under clouds, sometimes letting clouds drift down after sunrise. On the other side, the Shivalik hills glow green. The stepped fields and meadow form a soft bowl, where I feel content and held in the lap of nature. It is so beautiful, and these photos are my way of holding on to that calm.
