My travels around rivers, that travel across cities, in farmlands, in the polluted mists
in and around us, and my journey of observing them and spending time around the
ghats have made me introspect on the river that lies within me. It is a lot of times,
silently flowing, sometimes out in rage for the atrocities it carries, full of emotions that
are recurrent; yet flowing to achieve a state of quiet, of calm.
