"The mountain with its height teaches one to always keep going and look up. The sea with its depth teaches us to delve deeper into everything. One cannot possibly do both together. Even if we look at it from a physical point of view, it's impossible and tasking.

The skies in the north these days turn to a gorgeous inky blue at nights. Studded with stars with the shroud of the misty paper like translucent fog, it's a beautiful painting of the typical winter evenings. You seem to take to both the sea and mountain equally well. I thought one cannot be equally affable to both. After all, a man has just one heart.

You told me you don't believe in onesies. Both in life and the typical attire of kids, that is. I thought your love for the mountains was unshakable. Till I saw you looking at the sea and I knew that's exactly how you must have looked at the mountains once."
