Paying
a visit to dams, especially when monsoon has just made its way to the city but
isn’t at its full flow at that moment always proves to be a worthy plan and
what adds to this blissful experience are the roads covered by greenery with
raindrops on them shining like a diamond!
We always keep
stressing on the fact that Nashik’s beauty is at its peak in monsoons and if
someone wishes to explore its scenic views, then monsoon is the season to do
so. Nothing beats the awesomeness of enjoying city’s panoramic views with tons
of lush green fields surrounding the roads and rain pouring at a decent pace in
the backdrop!

When we looked at the closed gates of the dam, a question instantly struck our minds
like a lightening that how come this calm and composed view transforms into a
disastrous one when the Rain Gods show no mercy on us? This is when our hearts
interrupted and told our minds that this is how life goes on, all we need to do
is seize the moment before it disappears in the wink of an eye to make the most
of it.
