Nature is the most enigmatic and versatile show-stopper on the earth's ramp. The more enthralling and rarer the beauty, the more hostile are the conditions, the designers of the splendid show!
Flowers, trees, lakes, rivers etc. are of course the eternal sources of beauty. But I am referring to the most extreme beauty offered by mother nature and it doesn't come for free. The phenomenon occurs at the cost of the following:
1. Enduring harsh conditions or
2. Accurate collaboration of various parameters.
Enduring harsh conditions: Imagine basking under the spell of the white blankets of Alaska or Antarctica, cherishing but withstanding the blizzards, avoiding frostbites...Outrunning the avalanches of the captivating mount Everest...Going up the magnificent Leh-Ladakh slopes, coping with thin air, treacherous narrow ghats, and the rockfalls...Sailing amidst the mysterious icebergs on an ocean, braving the turbulent waters, storms and towering waves...Imagine exploring the most amazing extreme world near the ocean floor without scuba gear...These stunners are worth all the tribulations, because the endurance that we conquer to catch a glimpse, makes them even more special...
Accurate collaboration of parameters: The charm of this category mostly lasts for a moment. The mesmerizing rainbow demands the combination of the sun and the rain; the more accurate the size of the rain drops and the angle of the sunrays, the better the shape and sharper the colours...Have you ever wondered about how the cute little perfect hexagonal-shaped snowflakes are formed? They are created only by an accurate, concurrent existence of temperature, air currents, humidity and the level of clouds in the atmosphere...The rare phenomena of solar/lunar eclipse, falling meteors, shooting stars (unlike the nature-defying shooting stars in kuch kuch hota hai) etc. also come at the cost of the collaboration of several parameters. And some of these beauties last for a blink of an eye!
Nature is a factory of pretty stuff like flowers and trees, standardized and coordinated...But the creation of the extremes is equivalent to the infinite laboratory experiments till you inadvertently and miraculously come up with the right readings and again lose track of what you have done ;)...Things of beauty are joy forever...Things of enigma are ecstasy, forever, but in your memories :)
Regards,
Rati
