Gopipura : Small hill behind Pawagadh Helical Stepwell and Ek Minar ki Masjid
Hi there,
After not posting for a few weeks in a stretch to back to regular updates. I love writing here. I miss sharing our little trips and our feelings behind them… This time let us take you to a small hill just behind our mighty Pawagadh…
This trip was done a few months back. We wanted kids to be adequately prepared for the Pawagadh hike. So we selected hills around Pawagadh. This is a small hill near the village Gopipura. Lots of mining work goes on there with many trucks. But if you go early on Sunday morning, there won’t be an issue.
It is quite a short and easy climb. Kids were thrilled to do it, as it was super easy for them. You can do also do camping at the top. And the beauty is, we were able to see sun peeping behind the Pawagadh.
From there, we went to Ek Minar masjid and Helical stepwell, both closed due to COVID. So we will visit them soon.
Hills
A small hill
Asked mighty mountains
I am not big as you
I haven’t been
Named as you
People are not
Achieving
Coming on top of me
Still, I am there
Seeing all
Guarding all
Noticing all
They come
They go.
They climb
They forget
Sometimes
They break me
destroy me
Why it’s like that?
The mountain answered
Every raindrop is an ocean
Every speck of dust is shore
Every note is a song
Every tear is an emotion
Every seed is a forest
Every idea is a discovery
Why look for magnitude?
It’s the infinitesimal
It’s the minuscule
That makes the difference
That small fraction
That small smile
That one word
That one hug
That little help
That little grit
That matters
The most…
So
Don’t you worry Hill
We see you
We feel you
We love you
We care for you
The givings trees
The guarding forests
The bouncing streams
The smiling lakes
The flowing rivers
The accepting oceans
The peeping clouds
The shining stars
The soothing moon
The burning sun
The forgiving Earth
We are in this together
People are foolish
About them
You don’t bother!!!
