NATURE: A SOURCE OF JOY
By Lalith
Man and nature are supposed to be in concord. India being a land of diverse geographical features gives its inhabitants a chance to experience nature at its best. Recently, I have received the pleasure of experiencing this diversity during my stay at Kota in Rajasthan and Kerala.
On one hand, there was the extreme climate in Kota with scanty rainfall and scarce flaura and fauna. The colorful attires and cheerful nature of the inhabitants compensate for the scarce plantations in the desert. On the other hand, Kerala is the land blessed with the beauty of greenery everywhere due to great amount of rainfall. The climate here is moderate. The rich variety of spices, articles and medicinal oils extracted from plants are a USP of the place. One is enchanted by the beauty of the place while walking through the shadows of the tall coconut plantations. Kerala is also a land of several architectural masterpieces, present here in the form of ancient temples.
The beauty of nature has not only rejuvenating for our senses but has also served as an inspiration for several poets and writers who have transpired it in their masterpieces.
