Ashok Kochhar – 
The Whole of humanity has one thing in common-to look up the sky for the blessings of Almighty, be it Allah, Bhagwan, Lord or Almighty.
There has to be reason as to why there is such a commonality and why it is a natural instinct to search for answers on the horizon.
I have been travelling extensively for the past ten years and observing various moods of clouds in the sky.
I feel that clouds are the messengers of Gods; their expressions are very different at different times and different places.
I have been keenly observing them while traveling at 18,000 feet to the seashores and even at the middle of the seas and oceans.
My observation has been that the cloud line of high mountains tells a story that is distinct from that of the seas; sky of plains has different hue than the clouds in the sky over a lake, as if they reflect the mood of the ground down below.
The turbulence of sky over a sea is aggressive than the same clouds over a lake.
Just like every element on earth, the clouds often mirror our feelings and just like everything down below, they also affect our state of being.
Almost all the ancient cultures have believed in Omens and the formation of clouds has been the basis of predictions for the future.
The ever-dynamic formation of clouds has revealed and often covered up numerous mysteries of the universe and its changing colors and dimensions is a constant reminder to all the mortals of the magical form of Mother Nature.
Kiwi beauty
This land of New Zealand is blessed with abundance of beauty of the skies with variety of cloud formations.
Clouds change their mood and hues every second, and in every hue you can feel the magical touch of the supreme.
It does make you think that maybe, we just need to look at the sky and in the vivid colors of the sky, we will see god smiling back at us.
