Nomads

 Nomads...we all have heard about them, read about them, even seen them... how about Living them. 

Likes of us actually live  - Nomads.....in fact are Nomads. . . . .We leave home, we leave friends, we leave family....we leave everything that made us today., what we are........everything except being Nomad.

They say money is not everything, we all heard that, we all know that, but, reality begs to differ. Money is a lot, in fact only next the real happiness. People often says that money cant buy happiness, but, surely money can buy all the things that  bring us happiness.

Moving away from my from my Parents, was one of the toughest decisions that I ever had made in my life yet again... all for Money !, the mighty money that made all of us away from each other,,, that has actually made all of us away from each other. 

Sometimes i really wonder, is it really all worth for ?, I mean, why couldn't we all have been in less,,, but all together.., why we all couldn't have settled for much less and still be together,,,."kyun hain ye durian, jane hum sab hain kahan...." . . 

There are times when i liste to some really old songs and remember the best times of my life, when i was really close to all those who mattered to me. It's not always about being right or wrong... sometimes just being at the right place ...at the right time matters the most. 

Ek zamaana wo bhi tha, Ek zamaana ye bhi hai

Ab to sirf yaadien hi reh gayi hai, Yaadein un lamhon ki,jo hum kabhi jia karte they, ab to bus zinda hi hain.

Chahe jitni bhi koshish kyn na kar le hum, lakh chahne ke baad bhi, wo lamhe , wo pal laut kar wapas nahi ane wale. Per shayad yehi to samay ka khel hai, jab hum they, tab samay nahi tha, aur jab samay hai, to WO hum nahi.

Ek zamana ye bhi hai ki nikal jaate hain roz,hathon mein dabba liye, zindagi ki kishto ko pura karne k liye. Ek zaman wo bhi tha, jab nikalte they ankhon mein samne aur dil mein unki ek jhalak dekhne ki umeed liye.

Ek zamaana wo bhi tha, duniya ki nahi per doston/yaaron ki har khabar rakhte they. Zindagi ke update to roz shaam, ko mil jate they. Ek zamaana ye bhi hai, Hazaraon raste hain, phir bhi doosro se to kya, hum khud se bhi anjaan ho chuke hai.

Ek zamaana wo bhi tha, jab dosto zayada aur paise kam they, phir bhi sirf khushiyan thi, na they gum. Aur ek zamana ye bhi hai, paise hai bahot per doston ka pata nahi....

Paise kamane ki daud mein jaise hum jeena hi bhul gaye, kabhi purane gane suno to guzara zamanaa yaad ata hai. Yaad ata hai wo zamana,jab hum jiya karte they, jab hum befikra ho kar yaari nibhate they. Aur aaj, zindagi ki kishto ko pura karne ki daud mein, rishton aur zindagi ko kharch karte jaa rahe hain.

Wo kehte hain na, shauk to baap ke paise se pure hote they, apni kamai se to kishtein hi bhari jati hain.

Befikr ho kar jeena,apni hi mauj mein rehna ata tha hume. Zamane ne jeene ke mayne hi badal diye, shayad padai, naukri, duniya ne samajhdar bana diya ! Zindagi ke har mod per Socha tha ek din sukoon se zindagi ko gale lagaunga, per roz subah uth kar,nikal padte hain daud lagane mein, aur sham tak uss sukoon ke lamhe ki talash mein zindagi ka e kaur din beet jata hai. Aur zindagi...Zindagi ka kya, wo hai...Shayad yehi kahin...Kuch unkahi unsuni khuwahish ki peeche.

Beete hue lamho ki yaadein kuch dhundli si hai ,per kya ane wala kal saaf hai? Yehi sawal dil mein tab bhi tha,aur aaj bhi hai, aur shayad kal bhi rahega. Zindagi ki ye daud kabhi nahi rukne wali...Rukegi bhi aisi ki,phir shuru nahi hogi. 

Road Trip - Vadodara to Saputara - Hyundai Xcent

Saputara, a densely forested region in the Sahyadri range is the only hill station in the Dang district of South Gujarat state at an altitude of 1000 meters. The name of Saputara stands for “Abode of the serpents”

I took a road trip in monsoon in July, Vadodara. Truly, a place this is in the nature’s womb with dense forests, green hues with lush flowers, the fog, rains dropping on the leaves. Away from the busy city life, a perfect getaway if you are looking for serenity and peace. Also a great place for couples as it turns out to be a romantic heaven, but I was on a family trip ;-)

The weather of this place remains pleasant throughout the year, but the monsoon season has its own charm, with the greenery at its best.

Things to do in Saputara :

Botanical garden (49 kms. from Saputara) is a large 24-hectare garden with 1,400 varieties of plant from all over India.

The Gira waterfalls (49 kms. from Saputara) is located off the Saputara-Waghai road is a breathtakingly beautiful view around monsoon.

Outdoor activities such as wildlife viewing, trekking, hiking, boating, nature walks can be done at Saputara

TRIP Route : Vadodara -> Surat - > Navsari (Left turn) - > Saputara.

Driving from Vadodara to Surat & Navsari is easy and Good, with NH-8 Being in a top condition. We started our Trip in our Beloved Hyundai Xcent 1.2 S, at around 4:15 AM from Vadodara, as we wanted to make sure that we reach early morning near the hills, to enjoy the Route and hills ! . Which was very well achieved ! We almost escaped the Famous Jam of Bharuch ! , still lost about 45 mins stuck between the Trucks & Trailers. A Tip – Always use the Left Lane while approaching Bharuch streech, just before Narmada Bridge. Keep your Google Maps or Navigators ready while approaching the area. The left lane is for smaller vehicles, and right is for heavy vehicles, so it’s better keep in Left lane to avoid last minute hassels. I was in Middle Lane, so didn’t faced much problem, but still lost 45 Mins. In Jam trying to get into that Last Lane.

There are several Food joints and “Dhabas” for all your Foody Needs ! along the NH-8. Road till Navsari is great and smooth.

Just as you enter Navsari on NH-8, be careful not to use the Flyover ! . Keep your Google Maps or Navigators ready again. After taking Left from Navsari crossing, the Road is narrow and Single Lane. But build Quality is good, so no issues in Driving.(Ref Pictures). Then the real journey started, amidst the Lush Green Fields and forest area. We passed through the National Forest, which looked great at early morning. Driving here in early morning, with cloud cover was great ! No AC’s required, just fresh Air.

We took a little de-toure toward Gira Waterfall, which was very good. The Way to Gira waterfalls is well marked and you will find few Tourists Buses parked on the main Road itself. The Fall is about 2-3 KM’s inside the narrow trail, which Is just enough for 2 cars to pass, that too at some locations only, so Drive carefully and Slowly. Plenty of Options for snacks are available. Tough it didn't rained that day, flow of water was still good. It's nice place with sign Board of "Beware of Crocodiles"! all around ! . We didn't found any though . (Lucky)

What I hated about that place was, the Presence of Humans ! We Litter everywhere we go. I found hundred of packets of wafers, liqure bottles, cold drink pet bottles, foam plates, etc it was looking so bad admist such a beautiful location/backdrop. If anyone is reading this, please ensure not to teach your Kids to do this. Please teach you next generation to be little more sensible while dealing with Human waste.

Then we left for the Hills, after spending about an hour. It’s about another 1 1/2 Hr. drive from there (50 Kms). Road is good and Picturesque ! It was a pleasant weather and loved driving there !.

But one must be very careful, as I found several drivers, driving like Drunk Idiots. Over taking from wrong side on Hills, Honking unnecessarily , Over Speeding and risking life of others.

We reached Saputara by 11 AM. In between we stopped for tea and snacks as weather was quite good and Cloudy all around. Plenty of options to pick from for having Snacks/Tea. We stopped at a local shop, made out of Stew and straws. We spent the entire day, exploring Saputara. The Lake area was good, bustling with Crowd of all ages. We didn't tried the Booting as we were never interested in that, but it felt good watching people enjoying their time. We had Tea/ Corn / and boiled Ground nuts ! . Not much to do or visit in Saputara, just a Lake, Hill Top, Table Tops, Sunset Point. Some Adventure points near Table top !!! We enjoyed every bit !

Then , happened the Unexpected ! the whole area was stunned to deafening sound of Bikes !! Yes, a group of around 120-130 Bikers from Harley Davidson was in the town. Saputara was part of their All India trip, which they were on. for the 1st time in my Life, i got to see, so many different kinds of Bikes !!! It was feast to Eyes, and tell you what, we were so mesmerised with bikes, that we almost forgot to take pictures . anyway, it was a good experience ! .

We went to Sunset point, which requires a 15 mins steep incline walk ! . but after reaching there, it was worth it ! We sat down near the edge of that small hill top, and forgot all our worries and were just looking into the vast Forest surrounding the area. Felt so good and forgot all our worries about the Life, work, etc.

Since we didn’t booked any Hotels in Advance, we didn’t got any Hotel/Room, Blame the Bikers group, who had occupied almost all the rooms available that night !!!. Then we got a small Hotel – Hotel Purohit. Not a  good hotel, but Owner was decent, enough, not to charge anything extra and advised not to take AC !! But Hotel and Rooms are not good. But Decent enough, in case you don’t get anything else. For Youngsters or all Male travelers, it’s good and cheap. TIP : Ask room boy for clean bedsheets and pillow covers ! And stay only when all other Hotels are Booked.

We Left Hotel by 8 AM and ventured into the nearby hills, for some adventure. After spending about 2-3 hrs, we Left Saputara, admist the elusive Rains falls, which we wished. No worry about Fuel, as there are lot of Petrol Pumps all the way and couple of them are at Saputara too.

After taking the right turn from Navsari, we were back on NH-8. It was little crowded, may be being Sunday and day time ! we stopped for Lunch at Sugar & Spice restaurant, adjacent to HP Fuel station. It was good and worth a try next time too. Rates were little higher, but still nothing much. Taste was Good and Size/Portions was also suitable. Then we continued our Journey on NH-8. We Managed to reach Bharuch (By-Pass on NH-8) by 2:30 PM. and then it Happened !!!  We got stuck in Jam from 2:30 PM till 9 PM !!! Cursed the Govt. and Transport minister to hell !.
It's actually very Sick and nonsense of the Govt and so called "Model State"that high which forms an Integral part of Golden Quadrilateral , is in such a mess since several years now. It's high time to outsource such things to PVT players from Outside, for Fast development. Even though they cost more, it will eventually cost lesser than what we are loosing since last several years in terms of Time and Fuel

Despite of all the hue and cry , Govt seems to be deaf on the issue. Hail our Politics.

Anyway, leaving the Bharuch part, trip was very good and enjoyable.

Road Trip - Vadodara to Sasan GIR

Swiss Tents

Perfect Romantic Atmosphere

Peaceful & Green 

GIR PRIDE RESORT has 10 Swiss Tents

Food/Eating Area

Lush Green Mango Farms

Just came back from Sasan Gir, by my Xcent 1.2. Was a very good and pleasurable journey to GIR, my 1st visit. Had gone with my wife and nephew( Teenager, hence were very excited, also this was their 1st long drive at night !!) . 

Route taken -> Vadaodara - > Borsad -> Tarapur -> Bagodra -> Limbdi -> Rajkot -> Junagadh ->GIR.

Started my journey at 2330 Hrs from Vadodara, as i have always preferred driving at Night time only.  Road condition is just OK from Vadodara to Borsad and after that it's not so good. Entire Patch is under construction and is quite narrow at some places with lots of Pot holes and Diversions. Till Bagodra had to drive very carefully and slowly.

After Bagodra, it's NH8A, and very good and smooth all the way till Rajkot. Also, from Rajkot, had to drive carefully not to miss the By-pass from Rajkot to Junaghad. else once entered the City, it could take some time to cross it.

From Junagadh to Gir, road is good and very scenic. We were able to spot several herds of dear / spotted Dear / Black Buck and several Birds on our way to GIR.

We stayed at GIR PRIDE RESORT. Which to me, is one of the best kept resorts with Full of Natural surroundings. Food was excellent and Swiss Tents were very good and Hygienic. RECOMMENDED FOR EVERY ONE TO STAY AT THIS ONCE. Location is bit tricky as it's not situated on the main road. It's about a KM drive on jungle trail !, which is actually exciting for kids/teenagers and 1st time travelers. Once you reach there, it's Bliss . Google it and you'll see the details. It's owner was present there and we interacted at length. Very friendly staff and well behaved and very friendly. It's a Perfect location for spending some quality time with your Family and Loved ones. Very Romantic and Adventurous at same time. Lush Green Mango Farms with Variety of Trees and plants, blossoming with Flowers & Fruits. 

Very good for Relaxing far away from the Concrete Jungle in the REAL Jungle !

Xcent returned an Average of 16.78 KMPL, which is Good for the Road condition. It took us about 6.5 Hrs to Reach our destination.

For return Journey , Amreli route could have been taken, but Took the same route through which I had come earlier, As the 2nd route is not suitable for Xcent...SUV's are much better choice for that Route. Anyhow, for such area's, SUV are always preferable than Cars.

Will share Photos Shortly.

Dekho ye Sheher apni Hadd meni, Jaane kitne Sheher lapaite hai.

Road Trip - Vadodara - Noida - Vadodara

Driving from Vadodara to Noida, was an Bliss ! Had decided to visit my Parents in Noida for Diwali, by my new owned Car Hyundai Xcent, Petrol. Had always loved driving on long route, now since i own a Car, such long drive would be a regular feature of our lives ! ( Already planned for Vadodara to Mumbai , Vadodara to GOA !!! )

So, we started our journey at 0200 Hrs from Vadodara, I chose this time ,as i’m more comfortable in driving at night than day !, simply coz I hate day time traffic. And reached Gurgaon at around 1800 Hrs. Had forgot to take the Pre-Diwali rush into account ! and it took me about 3.5 Hrs to reach noida from Gurgaon ! . Apart from this last leg, every thing else was smooth. Had taken enough Sandwiches / fruits / Water / Juices / RED BULL (to keep me awake and alert, it worked though)

Roads from Vadodara to Jaipur are great, loved driving on this entire stretch. No Issues were encountered at any Point of time, as the Roads were clear and well laid out. If any one trying this Trip in future, plan without a Fuss, but be ready to pay the Toll of your Life ! Yep, I had to pay about 1000 /- in various Tolls, ranging from INR 25 to INR 125/- .

Only Issue comes when you reach Jaipur city, there is a By Pass at Jaipur, which is very very congested. The Jaipur – Delhi highway is under repair at several locations, so it took us almost 5-6 Hrs to cover 250 Kms.

Be careful in driving at high speeds at Jaipur – Delhi Highway, you won’t know when a pot hole or broken road will appear and that will be enough to damage your vehicle . So advised – not to get tempt to press the pedal !

Route taken –

Vadodara – Ahmedabad – Himmat Nagar – Udaipur – Chittorghar – Bilwara -Jaipur – Gurgaon – Delhi – Noida

Total time : 16 Hrs

Mileage – 18.67 KMPL (Petrol)

Transferring Two Wheeler from one State to another, Vadodara to Siliguri to Vadodara, gujrat

So, you got Transferred or shifted to another State for a new Job ? Thinking of transferring your beloved bike/scooter ? Just be ready for Bruises :) .

It will start with never ending trips to RTO !. First, if you are relocating for a very short period of time (Less than 12 months), No need for a NOC, but in case you are shifting for more than 12 months, NOC would be required. Although rules are not that tough / stringent for 2 Wheelers. I've had a KA registration bike in Delhi for 5 Years and no one ever stopped me coz of that. Even my Car was KA since 2005 in Noida, but recently got it changed to UP. 

It;s safer to send the Bike/Scooter by Transporter than Train. As there is no miss handling and no damages can be expected. But if you are sending by Train, then be ready to see some nasty scratches / Bruises on the Bike/Scooter.

1. First you need to check which trains leave from your station to the destination. From siliguri, there are not many trains for Gujrat, namely Okha Express and Gandhidhan exp.

2. Booking office is on Platform no.1 You can either book it directly to Vadodara or to Delhi and then from Delhi to Vadodara.

(I had booked from Vadodara to Delhi and then Delhi to Siliguri by Transporter)

3. Get it packed by the Porters there, they will charge about 300-400/-, its better to bring along some packing material, for your own safety, Make sure you make them place extra Straws & Carboards on the visor area and on the Side panels., Better to get some Old bed sheets from Home, that will serve better. 

4. Please bear in mind that, it takes about 3/4 months for Bike/Scooter to reach Baroda/Vadodara. So who i did it ??. . .There was a Person there, who was introduced by a official, He assured that in 1000/- Bucks he will make sure that the vehicle gets loaded in next train. Though I was little worried, as I was leaving Siliguri at the same day, so Eventually i gave him money(Friday) and trusted him to do his job. and I received the Call on Monday evening that the Vehicle has been loaded and will reach baroda in next 72 Hrs !!!.

If you want his Mobile number, mail me at swadeshgauravsingh@gmail.com. That guy could be trusted, at least now i can say that, 

5. It charged me - 2000 - Freight, + 300 Packing, + 50 (person who put steel plate on bike with some Numbers) + 1000  to that Loader. 

6. Keep in Mind that, they charge 250 Per day at the Receiving station. 

Life,

Life, every time I think I’ve figured it out, it changes the bloody meaning of itself.

I still remember the time when I got my first salary, thought that, I would save for first 2 months and then spend. So I went ahead and saved some money for first 2 months, but only find that saved money vanishing in paying my education loan. Then I cursed my self for not saving enough, so started being more n more miser. In the process, something had happened, I never realized it until it was too late for me to do anything about it. (at least I thought it was too late). I forgot to live, or even enjoy the smaller moments of life. I mean I never enjoyed my First salary !!!, something I was waiting to do ever since I joined college, or got the job.

I never knew what or why this happened, but it did happen. So after that I thought that, ok, from now I will spend a lot over me, and let the life control what it can control. So I did spend some on me, but again I felt little bad for not being able to save much, for, home, loan, etc.

Right from the very begening, there had been two of me, at all the times, on every moment. There is a part of me, who wants to live life king size. Be free, enjoy the spoils of life, Go for an adventure, holiday, enjoy, have fun for a change !!!. I wanted to learn Guitar and look sexy !!!, jump from a cliff, visit a wildlife sanctuary, and what not. This list just won’t end.

But I have never been able to live the life which I wanted or dreamn’t about. And there is no one whom I can blame for this. It’s me and only me, who can be held responsible, if I feel sad, and down today for not being able to …. “Live” . . .

There have been people in my life who had always taught me something. One of my seniors in professional life, said to me, “.. Swadesh, there will be a time for saving money in life, but that time is not today. I never saw you Living, you are just surviving and nothing else. Go out, have fun, make a list of your dreams and try to fulfill them. Go the places you dream of, take your wife and go to a holiday often. The moment, the time which you have today, will never come again, ..live Swadesh, just live…”

I never forgot his words, but my mind doesn't allow me to ….to Live. I have to save for my Wife's priorities, family’s needs, expenses which are never ending, and the expectations that has only one way to go, UP. I want to live, but how , just how ? The moment I think of spending the money of my or our dreams, I start feeling that I need to save the money for future. Yes that Future, which I have no idea what’s it’s going to be like. But I have to save for it. How much? Don’t know. Will it be enough? Don’t know. But what I do know is that, I just have to save. And for that, I need to pay the price. I won’t be able to enjoy my Present. I won’t be able to live. And some where I think I’m ready for it, there is a big part of me which Is ready to accept it. I guess It has already accepted it. And maybe that’s why I’m not able to , spend or stop worrying so much about my future.

It’s now that I realize that I’m spending too much of my Time & Energy for my future, which I don’t even know. Even today, when I’m writing about it, I’m worried that how to save more and more. Without realizing that, no matter how much I save, it will never be enough. Now I realize that I’m afraid, yes, I’m really afraid that what will happen if I’m not able to save enough. Every time I step out to spend or buy something for myself,  or pick up something from shelf in a store, I put it back the next moment, fearing that I might over spend. That very moment I start to think hard that do I really need that thing. And 9.9 times out of 10, I will come back empty handed.

I want to change myself. I want to live my life for once. I want to be free; I want to feel something good about myself. I've got no idea what or how am I going to do that, but, I really want to do it. May be I can ask for help or advice. But I know what people will say, so I guess I won’t share it.

I know that I can and I should share it with my Wife but, I even know her reaction !!!, she would instantly say Yes to all what I want to spend on. After all she bought me my own First Guitar !!!.

I wonder, will there be a moment, which I will spent without a regret.

Kab milenge Naa jaane hum ...Yaaro phir se sabhi.........Laut kar ab naa Aayenge wo din ab kabhi

Woo pehli baar, ....Woo Puraani Jeans,.....That summer of 69', ....

There are so many things that happened to us for the 1st times, and some where in our Hearts, we still remember those 1st times..................

Those 1st classes, 1st bunks !!! Never ending chatting in the classes, Never getting tired of playing !
That 1st Crush ! (Latest Crush, LC's) , 1st Song, 1st Dance, Being 1st one to be there for that some one special, Being 1st one's to reach on a B'day ! and eagerly waiting/hoping for others !!! , Those extra short calls and those never ending wait !!! and then....those Miss calls during era of Land lines !!!

Well, the list can go just on and on , and these "1st" list will never end, coz so many things used to happen to us for the very 1st times in our lives, as we were growing. There are times, when it seems that, these happened just a few months back. But when we actually stop and look back, we realize that, long gone are those moments, on whose memories we still linger on .

 Back then, we never had a Cell phone, or Blogs or FB, Orkut, BBM or Whatsapp, but still we knew every thing about each other. We had time, to spend with each other, we used talk more often, listen & share more often. We used to be there for our friends at all times.

So what really happened ? I guess we finally grew up. And we grew up to realize that, Studies, College, Scholarship, Job, Work, Money, Promotion, Family,Mortgages, Loans, EMIs,  Gadgets,  are the only things that matters now. Fair enough.....right?

Now we may have time, we may Money to spend, but can we really have those Moments back in our lifes, which we have wasted in this Never ending pursuit of life, fame, money, stability and what not !!!. The Answer to this is very simple and we all know it, it's a big "NO". It's as simple as this. There are times when we realize this, but then we suddenly "grow up" start behaving maturely !!! and why ? coz we have been tought to behave like this.

Stop it guys, just stop it. It never ends. No matter how much you earn, how much grow up. Deep down inside you, you will always be the same old person, who still lingers on the memories of those never ending "1st........" list. So Live Life, it happens only Once.

......Kab milenge Naa jaane hum ...Yaaro phir se sabhi.........Laut kar ab naa Aayenge ab wo din kabhi,

Dreaming About You

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you

And I'd wish on a star That somewhere you are thinking of me too


Cuz I'm dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow,
I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me


Wonder if you even see me And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes Would you see what's inside? Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close But so far, all I have are dreams of you So,
I wait for the day and the courage to say How much I love you(Yes, I do)


I'll be dreaming of you tonight Till tomorrow,
I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Then here in my room, Dreaming about you and me

Ahhh...I can't stop dreaming of you


Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I'd stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me And said, "I love you;
I love you too"



Now I'm dreaming with you tonight Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Then here in my room, Dreaming with you endlessly...

Dreams.........

Dreams...................There have always been dreamers, right from the creation of the World...right from the starting of Life forms...right from the Begening of Humans.....right from the time,we learnt expecting more and more from Life... right from when, we started to think, that what we have is not enough..... Right since when, we started to give less significance to present and more to Future.... right eversince we gave more value to wht "Could" be instead of what "IS"......

Seems a bit negetive right?? Well, it may be or may be not.

To Dream, is the basic nature of all the Life forms and not nessecarly of Humans Only. We dream, when we expect something more from the existing world. We dream beacuse we feel that, the Life could be much more better than what it is now. We also dream, to let go of our past and see a glimps of beautiful future that lies ahead of us.

Some people belive and say that " Do not dream..it hurts when they dont come true.." and things like that. Well, fare enough i guess. We humans, are very strong, Yet extreamly fragile in nature. We humans have tendancy to creat an superficail world and live in it. Constantly trying to achive all the aspects of the "Dream Future". Soemtime, these Dreams help us to achive what we can not even think of.
If the Twin brother wouldn;t have dreamed about Flying, we wouldn'y have the Airpalnes today. If Human had not dreamed of touching Moon, we would have been on Earth forever. If we would not have dreamed about having a better Future, the mordern day creations, gadgets would have never been into existence at all.

It's our dream that keeps us alive and most importantly hopefull for a better future. Dreams are always about a better future. Sometimes, we dream of things that had happend or went wrong in past. But what do we see there, Perhaps, few possible solutions that could have led to a good situation, thus, ultimataly leading to a Good Future.

There has never been a problem with Dreams. The problems lies with Us. Its within ourselfs. And so is the Solution.

When we dream, we visualize a perfect world, free from any anomalies or distortion in simple terms, a Happy Life with our loved ones around us. We like that Situation so much that we start puting our efforts to make that dream come true,and parallel to that,some where inside us, we realize that we have already started living that life. But in raelity, its still far from existance. But since we love that situation so much, we don't think in opposite direction.

So far so good, every thing seems to be in perfect place, Loved ones around, taking new steps towards that Dream. But, there are certain aspects of life, that we cant not take into account, no matter how well planned our actions are. There is something called as "Fate" :). It's something, that Human can not controle. No matter how hard he tries, it still remains the main driving Force.

The moment we realize that the "Dream" which we had seen, is not comming true or gets broken, we sink into our own sorrows and our beautiful heart,makes us feel sad.

But, do we ever realize that, the "Dream", which we had seen or the Situation that we had Visualized, is actualy still there and up for us to Grab!!!,. Then whats the Difference?? Well, its actualy "..The Faces, The Instruments, The Obejects, The View " that has Changed and tampered. Have we ever tried to realize that, the very Idea of a perfect life, is still there!!!, So what if our People change, those Faces, so what if the things/items we dreamed of are not there, That life is still there. We can still achive the same level of expectaions with a Different sets of People and Items. And how knows, we may even derive a better satisfaction from it. And which actaully happens in real life!!!.

We just need to understand the "Dream" is all about. Some times in Life, we have to let go of our own planning. Beacuse we need to a take pause, and see what Life has planned for us.

As for me, even i had a beautiful dream, which had gone Sore :). But this, doesn't stops me from dreaming again!!! . My life has always been around my Dreams and I know, that i'll Live for them. So what, if the Faces in those dreams will change, My Dream,.....is still there up for me to Grab :) :) and i am Going for it!!!

Window Of Life

Today, here i am , sitting at my Destiny, looking through the windows of Life,

sometimes i wonder....
when i saw her turning, down the lane,
when i said her " good bye", i wonder,
will i ever here her 'Hi",
with memories deeper than ocean,
and loonlyness darker than her eyes,
sometimes i wonder.....

did i disapoint her, or let her down,
or should i be feeling guilty,
or let the judges Frown,
Coz i saw....I saw it all begun,
Even beofre she turned....even before she was gone,

I shed my tears, i shed my dreams, to mak her mine,
i shed all that was once mine, to c her simle....

Some times i wonder.....

will i ever know, y she said "good bye"
coz words were all i had , to make her mine.....
today i start a new story, in the world, thts lost its glory,
but the ghosts of past, haunt my Story.....

Zindagi ......................isse...... hone do

Zindagi hai adhuri, isse puri to hone do...
tute hain khwab jo, unne phir judne to do..
adhure reh gaye they jo sapne,
neend mein ek bar phir dekhne to do.....

tamaam hai baki zindagi,,isse zeene to do,
bikhare they jo pal zindagi ki shaakh se,
unhe ek bar phir samatene to do,

Nikal pade hain, zindagi ki rah pe,
isme shaam to hone do,
baki hai abhi safar, iss zindagi ki rah pe,
isme kisi humsafar se mulkaat tohone do,

ruk jaye dhadkan,ruk jaye ye pal,
aisa koi waqt to ane do...
chura le jaye jo humare dil ka karaar,
aisa ek koi lamha to ane do....

aa jaye zindagi mein wo haseen humsafar,
aise kisi ek safar ki shuruat to hone do....
badal jaye iss zindagi ke raste,
isme aisa ek mod to ane do.....

milte hi jinse, khamosh jo jaye ye Zuban,
aisa ek nazar ka ishara to hone do...
sare sapne yakin mein badal jayein,
itni raaton ke bad, ek ba phir,,,,wo subah to ane do...................

Love

Love :), one of the most beautifull feelings that a Man can feel. The very thing that makes the Life on Earth Worthwhile. The only thing that gives the Life a meaning. The thing that give it a Reason to Exist.

When we fall in Love, our world gets complete, well it seems atleast. It feel like the life more worthwhile to Live. And we Plan our Life accordingly which is basicaly Wowen around the "Love".

But some times we need to Let go of our Planning for life, just to see wht life has Planned for us.

Many times, we get seperated from the very Person we have loved. And with that seperation, we get seperated wth that World, which was wowen around that Love. and we feel dejected and Lost, it seems like end of the World for us. And we start feeling, that life will never be the same again.

But what we fail to relaize is, We Liked the Person and Loved the - Feeling of being with Him/Her, We loved the Essence of that Relation, We loved the Soul behind the Materialistic Body. While being in that relation, we get used to that Persons, Voice, Face, Aroma, Body, Odour, Color, and other Features. And when that Persone, Face, Voice, Aroma goes, we feel that its the Love that has Gone. Which is the Wrong Perception.

We take the Love and associate with that Persone. But Dear's :), Love is much more than what a human Body could ever hold. It can not be Contained. It can not be Controlled.

If you have Loved a Persone with all your heart, and if something happens and that person is no more with you. What does it Means. Will you stop Loving? No, we don't, we just take a Pause. Co'z when Life doesn't waits for any one then Should "Love" be any different. Why does Love has to Wait or Die?

We are humans, we are made to Love...again,,and again,,,and yet again... There is no ending to It.

Past, Present and The Future

"1st love is always golden", " pehla pyar to bus,,,pehle hi hota hai " , "u cant forget the 1st love.." , , , How many times in a day we come across these lines from the people around us. Don't take the Pain of counting/thinking, its actually useless. Its not that i am against love or something like that!! nope I am absolutely Not, But I just differ a Bit.
I believe that, Love is always just Love,its this Plain and Simple. Many Centuries ago, its was called Love, and even today its the Same. What has changed then??
Its our perspective that has changed today.

Today's youth is always under Pressure of Academic,Sports, Family, Peers, Friends, Love Life, Society, and what not, this list is endless. So, where does all this Pressure goes?? Any Idea??....it all goes into the Brains. Our Brain is even more complex than the all the mysteries of the Universe Combined. Now what the brain does with all these Pressure is actual very Interesting.

It creates an artificial world around us, and makes us believe that, this is the Perfect World, and we start living that world. Which actually runs Parallel to the real world. Which has no similarities at all. it can go on and on for years until one day it reaches a Crossroad.

Now this is where the Problem starts, at this very Crossroad, we, all of a sudden realize that, its not the Perfect world Any more. and we Succumb to the Pressure or Accepting the Truth.

The very people who live their entire life's around Truth, when they are made to face such situations, even they Fail to Accept the very Truth, with which they were living so far.

Every human on this Planet has a Past, who will be living in Present and will definitely have a Future. So what does it takes to actually stop the humans to move ahead??? Why they can not come out of Past??? is it really that though?? or its just some thing else.??? It worth thinking.

now every ones, Perception towards Life is different, even mine. I can never understand that how can a Man's Past can not let him to have a Beautiful Future??
It all starts up with that Parallel World, but what we fail to realize it that, that World has to End, so that the Actual world can Survive. And it eventually does.

All that Matters, is When we do it & How we do it.
We need to be ready for our future, which irrespective of our Past, will happen for Sure. And its Entirely up to us,that how we welcome this Future. We have 2 Choices, Either we Face it and make it even More beautiful or Keep sulking to our Past and make it even more regrettable.

One request to all who will ever read this. We have only 1 Life to live, lets not insult the most beautiful gift of God", This is Life,,,,Live it..........

Sachin Tendulkar

When i was young, my father used to tell me the Tales for India's 1983 World Cup. And i used to feel Proud and disheartend too. Proud because India Won that World Cup and Sad because we never won after that :).

But now, even i have a tale to tell to my Child :), the Tale of 200 in ODI by Sachin Tendulkar. I can say Proudly that I was there when this Legendary Man, made 200 Runs in an ODI.

I can never forget that moment when he reached that Milestone of 200 Runs in ODI. It was truely an Amazing and wonderfull moment and Feeling at that time. Who else other than Sachin deserves that Milestone. Although, at this Age of his, no one would have ever expected him to reach there. But he Showed his true Metle to this world , that he is Truely and Simply the Best :)
