The Sahyadri Burger


My  blog and FB friend Bhavesh Chhatbar, has dislayed some amazing captures of the beauty of the Sahyadris, in the Bhor area of the Western Ghats. An original  State highway ,  since then replaced by a fancy characterless expressway, passes undulating through these ghats.

Please read his entire post and photos  at his blog, here.

These are photo paintings by the the artist photographer. 

To a proletarian  hungry  person like me , the second  photo perhaps brings back some memories.......  McD, Eat your heart out !. 



The Sahyadri burger
grilled under the Deccan Sun
served on a bed of
rich green forest,
on an

alluvial bun
rich with the seeds of
mango
jamun
karvanda,
pomegranate
and sunflower.

A side serving
of sun fried bitumen highways,
and mountain paths,
a few fresh vegetable fields,
and a glass of ice cold water falls
that have
just tasted the
monsoon thunder.

And unlike McD,
so many
folks,
monkeys,
birds,
bears,
langurs,
together share in its delight,
saying
"We are loving it !"....
