If Feelings had words....

....Here's an essay.

Twenty-20

The game still has 30 long overs to go.
This game is getting too long.

Forgetting 'ME' , Getting Used To 'WE'

The Big Fat Punjabi Wedding is over and I am crawling back to the normal course (Though the course will never be the same, for better, now onwards).
Last three weeks have been the Longest break of my professional life, and THE OCCASION deserved it :-)

Here are the First Looks :

I Was There

Years later, when I read these lines, I would recollect that - I Was There when it unfolded.

The Phoenix lost his strength to be reborn.

Believe me First Hand Experiences are not that GOOD.

Heads & Shoulder

The heading may not make much sense to you. But for some it will :)
Its been a fast-forward video sort of weekend.

A cozy flight-a not so cozy Delhi airport- The chaos and confusion of Laal Kila and Azad Hind Market - The BEAUTIFUL ramlila ground ( Ram ji would have never agreed to do any sort of Leela there) - The short lived SemiSleeper - Apni Delhi traffic police - battered Taxi with 8 ppl jammed in - Bumpy but memorable taxi ride - A better bus - HEADS & SHOULDER - The Famous Flat - Apna ghar - Desi ghee and Parathas - Two families - A Good sleep - The divine Moments (Borrowed words -Pic(1) below) - Food and More food - Another Good Nights sleep - When the clock stuck 5 at 6:15 pm - Some more divine moments (Pic(2) below) - A Good dinner - The rush Hour - Haryana Gaurav - HEADS & SHOULDER (Once Again) - The famous Flat Returns - HEADS & SHOULDER (Yet Again) - THE journey ends - The sleepy room of deputy - The wait for the evening flight.

The whirlwind visit to home is almost near end. Returning Sweetless this time , first time ever. Lots to Cherish though.

Rendezvous with Nature

Exactly this time last year, we a bunch of people woke up (if you can call that a sleep) on the rocks half way down on the face of a 1200 Ft waterfall in the Sahyadri ranges (Maharashtra,India). It was after long that I felt the closeness to the elements of Nature that we so easily keep ignoring. The two days were a welcome break from the chaos of the Metro city life of Mumbai, that too in a Weekend break between switching Jobs. No pollution (Air or Noise), No traffic and No ringing mobile phones. It felt so far from civilization yet so close to Humanity. The dip in the bottle green water of the reservoir creted by the impact of falling waterfall was my lifes best Bath. One takeaway from living two days with bare essentials is that you start valuing things that you easily keep ignoring. Now when we are planning for a repeat Rappling of the same waterfall next month, theres a lot that we are looking forward to.
May the Mother Nature Bless us with the best on offer.
