In the Larger Scheme of Things …

Posted on August 14, 2012April 23, 2025

Whenever I have tried to look at the larger scheme of things … I have appeared as a dot somewhere …

And often not even that …

The first picture is me walking through the Valley of Flowers in Uttarakhand, India. The photo was clicked by my guide Sohan Singh Bisht.

    Too often we think we are great. When we stand in front of nature, we realise that we are just a tiny speck. We are too insignificant. Still we have visions of conquering the earth.

    I was also thinking about being a dot within a dot. The pictures are awesome. The second one is exceptional.

    Absolutely loved the last pic. The magnitude of the mountain is so huge that you can barely notice the river below..
