It is rightly said, ‘For every downturn in life, God lands you to the destination designed for you.’ We should never challenge the predetermined journey planned by the universe.

Three years ago, when I kept my feet on the ground of Leh airport, I never thought that this trip would be a turning point of my life. After freshening up, my mother and I with the fellow travellers made our way to the most mesmerizing site, ‘Pangong Tso Lake’. Arriving at the location, everyone including my mother gathered and started chit chatting with each other. As I was suffering from anxiety, I excused myself and chose to sat on the shore observing the charm and picturesqueness of the vicinity.
The captivating scenery charged my senses and I thought to have a chat with nature...
Manifesting the water in Lake, I asked, ‘ You do not have your own colour but still you look vibrant.’ Gently surging towards me, the water said, ‘ Though I do not possess my own hue, but the reflection of sky make me look appealing. I am thankful to him for making me so worthy.’ In a moment I heard a soft chuckle. It was from sky. Observing the clouds and colour tone, the look of the ether made a tickle in my stomach. The water asked him, ‘Why are you laughing?’ Making a muffled sound, the sky whispered, ‘Why are you thanking me. I should be grateful to you because I am able to adore my beauty by seeing my reflection in you.’ Listening to their conversation I teased them and asked, ‘don’t you both feel bore by facing each other whole day?’ To which the clouds replied, whenever such situation arise, we are there to transform their mood. I giggled and turning towards the mountain I asked, don’t you feel terrible to stand here eternally?’ In a merry tone, the mountain replied, ‘I am obliged because my existence helps the water to remain tranquil.’
The meaningful conversation with nature changed my perspective towards life and found what the universe was trying to tell me. Love is not just presenting someone roses, chocolates and expensive gifts. It is an attachment of being with someone and positively supporting each other during a bad patch. Letting go of my relationship anxiety, I stood up and thanked God for bringing me to such a magnificient place and giving me such a soothing and peaceful experience.
With positive transformation, I spinned around to look for my mother and locked my eyes with the enchanting deep set of black eyeballs which was admiring my non-verbal communication with nature. Yes! It is correctly said, ‘By letting go of wrong people we surely able to create space for right one.
