Among many other things, I really find spending time with nature is the most refreshing activity one can indulge in. It alleviates stress, gives perspective, pacifies inner senses, relaxes both body and mind.
Above all, upon continuation of this marvellous exercise one can feel a strong thread of communication between mind and nature. You offer problems, nature provide solutions. Try when you are in thick of any situation, take a walk in an open space filled with beautiful flowers and long standing trees, dew grass, shrubs, and experience the wave of instant relief sweeping away all apprehensions.
I have been going here since I was a kid. I am thirty, this park must have been nearly three decades old. It is built within the premises of an old temple.
The surroundings are ten times peaceful than other natural places in and around the place I stay. The reason is of the energy. When you go to a crowded place, negative energy of people block your sight from feeling the purity of nature. Since, it's a temple park (I call it), the energy is soaked in divinity.
Visitors are same-people with ten million worries plaguing them whose resolutions they expect from god. But the scent of sandalwood, agarbatti, arti, bhajana, hyms, chanting of mantras changes the whole aura of the place which envelops the air of the park too.
The conch shell blaring during morning arti and at twilight can be heard daily. It is known as 'Shanka' in Sanskrit. It is a symbol of purity, brillance and auspiciousness. In Hinduism, the sounf from the conch is associated with the sacred syllable 'Om' which is believed to be the first sound of creation. Besides, chirping of birds, lush greenery, trees which are more than hundred years old, boosts the atmospheric cleanliness.

The thought of tying swings under this old peepal tree and taking the gentle breeze on face makes me happy. The branches are thick, full of leaves, which are shooting up the sky, is one of the oldest trees in this park. It has mushroomed into a giant tree, revered by people every Saturday.
Choose the right spot to be on a date with yourself.
Good luck!
