In the solitude of nature, I confronted the darker parts of myself and found a strange sense of grounding.
This is the moment where melancholy turns into clarity, where pain becomes reflection, where silence becomes strength.
A visual reminder that even in the shadows, something in us is still reaching for light.
After returning from Kedarnath, I found myself sitting alone beside the Ganga near Janki Setu, Rishikesh, at around 1 AM.
I wasn't deliberately looking for an answer to anything. I was simply sitting there quietly, observing the river and the thoughts arising within me.
The Ganga was flowing continuously.
I was sitting still, but everything around me was moving.
For a while, I simply observed my thoughts — without judging them and without trying to change them.
And somewhere in that silence, this sentence came to my mind:
“In the end, everything flows back to where it belongs.”
“अंततः, हर चीज़ वहीं लौट आती है, जहाँ उसका वास्तविक स्थान होता है।”
That thought made me reflect on life.
Life does not always move in a straight line. Sometimes we move forward, sometimes we turn back, and sometimes we feel completely lost.
We meet people. We form relationships. We make plans. We have dreams. And sometimes, despite our best efforts, things don't happen the way we imagined.
We often try to control everything in life.
We want people to stay.
We want relationships to remain the same.
We want our plans to happen exactly as we imagined them.
But life doesn't always work that way.
Sometimes, instead of trying to forcefully hold on to something, it is better to let it move in its own direction.
Distance is not always an ending.
Sometimes distance gives us clarity. It allows us to see people, situations, and even ourselves from a different perspective.
And time has a way of revealing things that we cannot understand immediately.
Something that feels like an ending today may become the beginning of something better tomorrow.
Life is much like a river.
A river doesn't always travel in a straight line. It encounters obstacles, changes its course, turns, slows down, and continues.
The Ganga reminded me of that.
In that moment, the Ganga became more than just a river. It became a metaphor for life.
It doesn't stop to ask whether the road ahead will be easy or difficult.
It simply continues.
Perhaps life is similar.
Sometimes we move away from people, places, dreams, and even from ourselves.
Sometimes we think we have lost our direction.
But perhaps being lost is also part of finding the right direction.
We don't always need to force things to happen.
Sometimes we need to let life flow.
What truly belongs to us may find its way back — perhaps as a person, a place, a memory, a lesson, an opportunity, or simply a feeling within ourselves.
And what doesn't belong may leave, even if we desperately want to hold on to it.
Perhaps we spend too much of our lives trying to control where everything should go.
Sometimes the wiser thing is simply to observe, accept, and keep moving.
Like the Ganga.
Flowing through everything.
Finding its way.
And perhaps, in the end, everything flows back to where it belongs.
“In the end, everything flows back to where it belongs.”

It's Thursday here, my last full day in Vancouver... It's not
particularly good weather here, but I'm cool with it, after all I've
had great weather the past couple of days.
Attached are some pictures of the restaurant I have had dinner in this
past week, a view inside a typical (kinda cozy) canadian bookstore
and a beautiful picture of second beach ( a beautiful spot, which
allows for some relaxing selfreflection).
