The Truth Reveals Itself – Carvalho

Dearest gentle readers,

What stood out to me in Carvalho was how the truth only seemed to appear when the narrator and his team stopped chasing it so relentlessly. Throughout the story, they were determined to find the flying lizard, pushing through countless challenges in the jungle. But the moment they truly accepted how difficult their mission was when they stopped forcing it that’s when they finally saw the lizard.


And yet, after all that effort, they had to let it go. They spent days in the wild, risking so much just for this moment, only to realize capturing it was impossible. It’s almost ironic the flying lizard only revealed itself when they stopped expecting it, and in the end, they had no choice but to walk away. Maybe that’s the real message sometimes, when we stop trying to control everything, the truth finally becomes clear.

Alas, I must now take my leave, lest this tale drain the last remnants of my spirit. May we never speak of this again.

Mystical Malnad: A Mesmerizing Place

Dearest gentle readers, When Carvalho began, I instantly recognized the setting it’s Malnad, a place that’s as familiar as an old friend. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve visited, and yet every trip feels like a return to a magical dream. I remember reading about Carvalho and his team on an expedition, climbing the mountains in search of the elusive flying lizard. The way they described scaling steep paths and trekking through lush greenery made me long to join them, wandering through those beautiful misty hills. Malnad isn’t just a location on a map it feels like a living, breathing experience. The rolling green hills, shrouded in mist, and ancient trees that seem to share secrets with the wind create an atmosphere where time just slows down. Every breath of rain-soaked air and whiff of fresh coffee reminds me of the simple joys that life has to offer. The waterfalls here are nothing short of magical. Jog Falls, with its powerful cascade, is a sight to behold, while Hebbe Falls and t...

Ode to Ecology

 Whispers of a Wilted Flower Why love a flower, soft and bright, When petals fade and wilt from sight? Why hold it close, though time is brief? Watch it wither, filled with grief. Maybe since its bloom is sweet, A moment’s joy, so pure and complete. A fleeting glance, yet it stays, Guiding us with light till the end of days. We start as buds, so small, unseen, Part of something strong and pristine. With love and care, we stretch and rise, Bloom reflecting the earth and skies. Like a flower so tender and true, The more we are loved, the more we bloom. Though time may take what was once bright, Our roots remain, our love, our light.

Ecology: The Poetry of Nature and Life

Dearest gentle readers, At first glance, Ecology seemed like a simple poem, but the deeper I read, the more it resonated with me. Written by A.K. Ramanujan , it appeared in his third volume, Second Sight (1986), and beautifully captures a mother’s deep bond with a red champak tree  , a tree that, despite causing her migraines, she refuses to part with. The narrator, clearly devoted to his mother, would return home irritated after the first monsoon rain because the strong scent of the blooming champak tree triggered her allergies. The fragrance was so intense that even the walls of their house couldn’t block it out. Concerned for her well-being, he decides the tree should be cut down. But his mother immediately refuses. To her, it’s more than just a tree—it’s a part of her history, something she’s lived with for as long as she can remember. Even though it brings her discomfort, she values it for what it provides—basketfuls of flowers each year, used as offerings to the gods and gi...
