Chaklu: A paradise for peace lovers


If you heart lies in the mountains, 
in its silence and stillness, 


If in its embrace lies your peace, 
then waste no tine and come over
to seek refuge in its bosom here in Chaklu, 
a small village near Mashobra in Himachal Pradesh. 


If you have always longed for walks down the dwindling road
with trees playing the sun, lining up your way, 


If soaking the sun in your eyes, and baking the body 
till it gets in sync with the soul is what you seek, 
then this is the place for you. 




You can set aside the alarm bells 
because you would not need them, 

The morning ll come knocking in your window pane, 
you can play with the butterflies 

Or see the twilight fade into a night 
and then gaze at the stars, tracing it's path.
