Accolades

Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, dreams and expectations, love and passion. Nature’s Raga was born from this very essence—a brainchild, depict two souls deeply connected by fate and forever bound by a shared love and nature.

From childhood, I was immersed in the beauty of travel and photography, finding an unbreakable connection with the world around me. This connection evolved into something larger than myself, something that would one day become Nature’s Raga. Over time, as I shared my work, many questions arose from those who followed my journey. Instead of answering them one by one, I chose to tell my story.

​

A Name, A Purpose

The Nature’s Raga logo holds a profound meaning. The first symbolises a state of mind deeply intertwined with love, passion and nature—an open invitation to explore the world through a global, universal and spiritual perspective. The second reflects the next phase of this connection, capturing still moments in time, preserving the ever-changing world through photography.

The name itself is incredibly close to my heart. Not because I am its creator, but because Nature’s Raga represents two souls embedded within it. While some tried to discourage me, others lifted me up, fueling my passion to continue. I am the only one who truly understands why this journey is so meaningful to me.

​

The Struggles Behind the Passion

Pursuing a dream like this is not easy. Traveling to remote places, braving extreme conditions, waiting for the perfect shot in subzero temperatures—each moment requires unwavering dedication. Beyond capturing these experiences, there is the challenge of editing, curating, and sharing them with the world. As a solo creator, managing everything from travel to post-production is a mammoth task.

People often dismiss these efforts as a waste of time and money. I simply smile and reply, "Living without a soul connection is the real waste of time and money." Soul Connection why? Normally, I retain my smile and refrain myself to explain as I don’t have words to explain my feelings. Subsequently, I usually take a deep breath and get into the deep bound & connection with both the souls.

While trekking through high mountain passes, fellow travellers usually called me “Hey Buddy, Hey Raga, Hey Nature.” Their words always make me smile, as they unknowingly acknowledge the souls within Nature’s Raga. They keep advise me “Going Up is Optional, but Coming Down is Mandatory”. Yet, when I walk alone on those rugged trails, I often wonder—why is it mandatory to come down? What if I never did? But then, standing at the peak or on High Passes, the powerful winds remind me—I am alive. And as much as I long to stay, nature always compels me to return, reminding me of the people I love and those who are yet to complete my journey.

​

A Road Less Traveled

I have always preferred the road less traveled, as explained by the Poet - Robert Frost’s in the Poem “The Road Not Taken”. My journey to the top is never just about reaching a destination—it’s about the experience, the solitude, and the connection with the world around me. The climb is tough, and descending is even tougher. But no matter what happens, I know that my soul remains intertwined with the journey itself.

Yet, despite all the effort and passion, many fail to recognise what it takes to keep this dream alive. A simple like, a follow, or words of appreciation might seem small, but they mean the world to creators like me. At times, people have tried to bring Nature’s Raga down through negativity, fake emails, and harsh words. But the universe has a way of balancing things—I have also received love, support, and recognition that fuel my spirit. I hope the same it happens for others too. While travelling on the trail sometimes I keep humming with some unplugged versions of old days and as a course of action Life and mind "Bring Back Memories” which helps me to push forward as I get into enchanted connection and passion, which helps to carry the essence of the name. But might be for others it can be “Drinks in life can bring back Memories”, and so on…

Recognition and the Challenges Along the Way

As I keep working tirelessly to take Nature’s Raga to greater heights, I pushed myself into global photography contests, determined to make this a name people admire. I wanted the world to see what I see, to feel what I feel.

But life had other plans. The pressure of balancing my passion with higher studies at top-tier institutions in India and abroad took its toll. Eventually, I found myself in a hospital bed, surrounded not by nature and the soul, but by doctors and nurses. As I drifted in and out of consciousness, a song played in my mind—"Woh jo tha khwaab sa, Kya kahein jaane de…" Was it real or just a hallucination? Perhaps my soul was still reaching out, still longing for the connection that had always driven me forward.

As I recovered, something incredible happened. Emails started pouring in—messages from agencies, global organisations recognising my work. My photography was being appreciated, my efforts acknowledged. I was grateful, but more than that, I longed to share these achievements with YOU—the soul that completes Nature’s Raga. Because true soul connections do not require conscious effort or permission; they simply exist, no matter where we are. Astonishingly, the way soul name is, the inner voice of the spirits are same, don’t know how but might be a spiritual connection!!!

Looking Ahead with Gratitude

Throughout this journey, I have been blessed with supporters—some who have been with me from the start, others who joined along the way. To all of you, I am deeply grateful. For those who couldn’t be part of it in the past, I hope YOU will walk with me in the future.

I count on YOU. On each one of you.

And now, as I stand at this moment of truth, Nature’s Raga has been acknowledged and awarded by esteemed organisations. This is not just my victory—it is OURS. Thank you for being part of this journey, and need to believe in this vision, while continue to walk alongside me as we create something truly timeless.

The journey is far from over. The road ahead is long, but Nature’s Raga will rise.

Together, WE will make it a name that lives on. 🌿✨
