Wild tulips and barren beauty of Balochistan

Aziz Ahmed Jamali : 

Loving nature is a matter of preference and passion; it’s totally a personal choice as to where one seeks or finds solace. I prefer the natural environment and Wilderness overall. And for cogent reasons; it’s the most economical yet rewarding preference.

Traveling to Wilderness and walk(s) into nature helps us look at the busy life from a distant, neutral perspective. Far from the maddening crowds, nature embraces us without asking for money. “Come live in my heart and pay no rent”.

Nature opens greater vistas

As we add adventure into travel, nature opens greater vistas (luck favors the brave). we get to see flora and fauna of the most unique type. In Balochistan, it’s the bed of wild tulips, iris, and more in the spring. As we ascend to altitude, urban areas and related problems appear to be small. Tired after the venture(s), one tends to have sweet sleep.

Interaction with animals and insects helps us realize how important it is to conserve wildlife. Fresh air convince us to protect jungles to maintain the supply of oxygen. “Leave nothing except footprints and take nothing except photographs” should be the core principle of Interaction with nature. Rather we should try to keep clean and green premises in houses, offices, and vicinity where we reside.

Geographical varieties offer the true barren beauty of Balochistan 

Beaches of Balochistan and other geographical varieties offer the true barren beauty of the province; it is rich and can make us rich if we have the ‘seeing eye’. There exist people in this world who still see patterns in natural features, who appreciate the music of the flowing waters or otherwise, who find fragrance in the floral ambiance around and seek serenity in the simpler lifestyle of nomads and rural folk.
