"........................................................"

Short one though but its something that s flows thru my heart..
"Walking through the pathway of life..i woke up again to embrace the morning but the morning dint seemed to greet me..an unusual day... everything seemed to be different... went for a walk ..i was finding myself trapped in d world of loneliness ...everything was gone..those radiant i faces who use to smile and reciprocate a smile on my face...those alluring roses at the kiosk....the love of the ambrosia....those enticing clouds whose pulchritudinous droplets use to kiss my heart...a penchant towards life........those ravishing hands which were responsible for the beats for my heart....................was it a fallacy???...was my life being ameliorated ???..the allotropic phases of life were giving me no answers....left my closed eyes to heal my skin with saline droplets...................
" A caress on my forehead woke up me from the state of asphyxia......i was asked to see this world again....an exotic ambience....bystanding his son's play,a father's delight......a hedonistic act of a smiling old man on his stick...confabulation of nobles knight errant...expeditious river......bellicosity of the youth against obstacles.....a healed world.....an amble by a courter...the scent of an ecstatic rose....the effulgent light of the moon.........a hug to the clouds by the rainbow......a zeal towards a peace ....vivacious species....the dexterity towards the beauty of life was there again to cuddle me.............."
"But there was a lane..a phantasmagoric boulevard......a start to an impeccable journey....a life which would be new to me....a duvet of love....back to where i came into this world.....his arms were there to embrace after a bon voyage of a beautiful life..."...............................................................................................................................................................................

"80 hours to remember"
23rd May 2009 Anno Dommini..........................................................
12:00 P.M
"Shanu its nt the tym to take a nap,WAkE up,its only 12 in the afternoon,do something productive,don't sleep for no reason" my mom passes this one liner everyday in a voice which is audible enough to wake me up from a nap which i find the most boring thing in my daily schedule,but the irony being its my favourite pastym in my vacations :)!!......m a different person,cant help lolzz,probably following existentialism..nyways moving on still being half awake,the Dilwale Dulahania mandolin tune was enough to wake me up and engorge my eyes so that i could see the name of "Ansh Pat" flashing on my phone................"Shanu,the hotel is done,pack your bags" he said,i was lyk i WHAT,was just waiting for this single call.....i was up like as if a shuttle was ready to be launched into space.Somethings are concomitant like aditya's call whenver i wake up and without giving him a chance to utter anything,in a euphoric voice i told him to pack his bagaage...last but not the least i surprised jammy about the same and asked him to enquire for the tickets for the late night bus,but we found out that the bus was booked till the 26th of May and to our knowledge that was a single A\C way of transport near to our destination,but we wanted to go anyhow..we dint wanted to miss the chance and before this excitement would have become evanescent,again the mandolin tune starts vibrating my phone and jammy(aashish) says "there's an A/C bus at 4 p.m i.s.t and i have asked aditya to get four tickets...quickly pack your bags..."i looked at the clock it was already 1:45 P.M and my bags were not ready...It was tym to speed up if i had to take the bus and somehow i managed to do that,i had my bags ready within tym and we ol decided to meet at aditya's place to move on to the bus terminal....whoaaaaa!!!! i was winking my eyes to everyone of dem and the quadcore wre grinning together because we follow the policy of exactitude... :) hehe!! We wre finally on our way to a town which is a duvet of peace,pleasure and happiness............"Mussoorie".......and the bon voyage began with the wondeful bus journey in the ambience of "Incredible India"
24th May 2009 A.D
12:10 A.M
Delhi kashmiri gate I.S.BT...."Siphon the py****" wre the lines flashing in my mind from "The Three mistakes of my lyf" nd the coachman said that the stop will be for 10 minutes only,so we quickly went to the restrooms and took some eatbles from the terminal to assauge and boarded the once coach again..nd as d delhi welcome metro station passed away,the word called sleep had started taking the control of my mind and my eyelids had to shut to complement that :).....
1:45 A.M
I woke up and looked at my watch,the time was 1:45 A.M ,i peeped through the glass of the window seat and i could see the town of Muzzafarnagar,the midway was only at a distance of half and hour or so,meanwhile aditya was also awake and we started talking about everything that was engorging our brain nerves to think on and as time went on through the idyllic nature,we finally reached Dehradun!!!!.....
Mussoorie being only 30kms from dehradun,we decided to travel without taking a break so that we could be well within time up the hill to avoid the sunday traffic in the later hours of the day,so we booked a taxi nd wre off to the beautiful landscapes and the amazing eternal visage of nature had taken control our heart,minds and soul.....We reached Mussorie and checked into the hotel,i glanced at my watch nd phewwww it had been 14hrs since we had left Jaipur,we were tired and hungry as well so without wasting much time we got ready and went fr breakfast on the mall road.The food of the the Great Indian Plains as it is known had to be delicious and after having a king size breakfast we went back to our room and.........khrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! :) :)
After two hrs of sleep we wre refreshed and dis ws the tym to start wid another beautiful chapter of an amazing book called LIFE and to experience things which were to come our way.We were al set to travel the city on foot so that we could explore more and more and feel the ebullient ambience of this wondeful town so we went on to visit company park.... With the packets of wai wai's in our bag and the duvet of clouds above our heads,we were feeling one of the best hours of her life and to add to our excitement it started raining and the temperature dropped off suddenly to an extent that we started to shiver like anything and we had to make a stopover at every small tea shop after 5 minutes or so in order to warm ourselves up and by the time we returned back on the mall road the rain had stopped and the cool blue breeze was kissing Mussoorie all over...taking some eatbles we went back to the hotel but then i dint want to miss the so called 'Suhana Mausam' out dre and me and aditya went off to a beautiful spot which was the most amazing point we found in mussoorie on the camel back road,it was a peaceful and a quiet place from where we could see the beautiful Himalyan Ranges and we named it as "Maggie Point" beacause we use to eat maggi dre evrytym we went .The cool blue breeze was kissing Mussorie all over and with hands folded and feeling the lively breeze,lines of John Keats were flashing in mind "Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know"...was feeling as if it is a phantasm,but then i was missing someone a lot in this ambience,i looked at my phone again...................Only Airtel was there :) :)................
7:00 P.M
Walking down the lanes of this beautiful city we were back on the mall road and were strolling in the market and witnessing the shopping places there,stopping by on the railings on the other side of the road we could see the enticing city of Dehradun and we reached Kulri where we took our dinner with the company of the Indian Premier League final.."Aaj toh Royal Challengers hi jeetenge"...was tryin to rodomontade as if i knew the results well before ... ;).....walking talking and with the exercise of shimmying ;)..we wre back to our hotel at around 10:30 P.M.........
The hotels on the hillstation are architectured magnificently and gave a statuesque look on the mountain....we wre into our bermudas and sitting on the swings one the terrace we were chit chatting about everything we felt like from ur school times till now grinning on funny things,glancing on the girls sitting next to us on the other swing.....everything was fun.....!! we were back to our rooms late night....whoaa!!! ...Alas!! deccan chargers won...i was proved wrong but that had to be a part of this excitement as well..lolz...
25th May 2009.........
When i opened my eyes aditya was back from the maggie point...it ws already 7 in the morning and anshuman and aashish were still asleep,we had to be out of the hotel by 9 as we had one full day and night to feel this city as much as we could...Maggie at the Maggie point was our companion with the mountains till we waited for aashish and anshuman as they were still in the hotel and as soon as they came we decided to trek off to the Gunhill on foot.We took our breakfast over dere and after spending some time at that resplendent spot..we took a cable ride back to kulri from where we had to move to on to Lal Tibba and Lantour....the highest points in Mussoorie at 8500 feet above sea level....walking down the streets and valleys in mussorie and crossing the mall road and kulri market...we reached Mr Ruskin Bond's house after two hours on foot but unfortnately we could not find him there at that position of the hands of the clock .....Lal Tibba and Lantour was another half and hour from there so after trying our hands and foots on trekking in the way...we reached Lantour Cantt one of the oldest army cantt of British India and with a splendid language school where i could find many foreign nationals learning Hindi and Urdu and achieving fluency at it..one such person was Shane whom i met was an american national though ,but was learning hindi cus he wanted to spend the rest of his life in India...amazing isnt it!!!
......LAL TIBBA.............we were there finally after hours of walk and it was truly amazing to be 8500 feet..we could se our maggi point from the binoculars and realized we really came a long way from the place we started dis morning!!Viewing the Himalyan Peaks and coniferous forest belt was alluring...!!!!..we now were on our way back to the mall road shopping in the way some attires and sharing the amazing experiences of our journey.......
8:00 A.M
We were extremely tired after a full action of exalting throughout the day!!!Wowww!!! amazing experience...we now went to take our dinner and enjoy and mesmerize the last night in this town......one of the best dinner's i had ever had....we at like anything....with orange slushes and trying on different ice creams in 8 degrees made our evening really enjoyable...the chit chat sessions again started and we were back to the swings of our hotel to start with a never ending confabultion again....but time and tide waits for none.it was already 12 in the nite and we had to be back to our rooms .......Playing Cards wre on again bt since i have this habit of falling asleep without knowing wen sleeps comes to me....someone knows this very well... :) :)...
26th May
i opened my eye lids in the morning and we quickly got ready as we had to catch the 4 P.M bus from dehradun back to our home that day.......we reached dehradun at around 12 and after collecting our tickets we decided to spend some time in the Buddha Temple which looked as if we were in Tibet......we really had a good tym in Dehardun as welll....
The time had come when we were to bid goodbye to this city and boarded our bus with a promise to visit here sometym again in life...........
27th May

"This one comes from my heart"
"Love"..this quadcore is one of the most divine word ever written and pronounced till date, .........One single word whose meaning cannot be understood properly in the bible of d lexicographer,it may be linked with strong feeling of affection or sexual attraction or a great interest in something,a score of zero etc etc etc,but each and everyone of us has a diffrent approach when we talk about the feeling of love and am being a citizen of d world's biggest democracy would like to share some of my views regarding the feeling of love and the pessimistic nature of its divine sense with the ongoings of d modern era.
My vacations wre ebullient to me and greeted me with a warm heart.It was tym for fun again and to give it a healthy start was my cousin's wedding,as we all know indian weddings are full of customs and rituals which makes them unique and till date it is being followed making it a symbol of tradition in dis modern society,positive though lolzz if one has a full three days to spare for it.Jokes apart,i was really happy to c my brother moving in to a new life and i prayed for his success and prosperity......
It was a pleasure to b back to my beautiful pink city and embraced its simplicity and peaceful ambience.Well after having a good nite sleep,it was time to move along with the phases of the sun and an utter excitement to see Mr SRK banging d box office again with his new movie Rab ne bana di jodi,i qucikly booked the tickets fr d 3 to 6 show with a hope to be delighted after the show ends and indeed it happened..One of d best movies i ve ever seen nt because Mr SRK ws starring but fr it ws quite different from the regular masala and blatant and bland movies being made in d 21st century and it had a platitudinous and pragmatic story.It actually smwht tried to convey the meaning of the quadcore love in my opinion.
The dailies greet the people with "India in 2020","Economy shots high","India shining" etc etc but my dear friends we are only taking into account the India of metros,malls,multiplexes,six pack men,schismatic politics,multinationals.......bt almost sixty percent of the nation is an agrarian economy,simple living people in small towns who hve a fixed 10 to 5 "sarkari naukri" type of life with earnings sufficient to earn deir living,bajaj scooter and spnding sleepless nights of happiness in bringing a new maruti 800 car as if a new child is comin to deir place.Now my question is all dis simple living does mean tht dey dnt knw hw to love the way the teens of modern india do?????? U'll get the answer urself..Love for dem is unconditional,love for dem is happiness..Love for the majoity modern teens starts at 16 and by the tym dey finish deir school and college life,dey r tangled into branches of break ups and patch ups,dating at branded coffee shops,chinese restaurents,valentines celebrations, etc etc..i might be wrong bt for me true love is not the above mentioned things rather it is no love,for me its jus getting schizophrenic and going thru a kind of infatuation.......
True love for me is "Simple Living and high thinking" i.e wishing all happiness from the bottom of your heart to the person whom u love and expecting nothing in return,theword happiness says it ,if u r in love jus keep on wishing happiness it includes all form of sacrifices,blessings,truth forming the complete mixture of true love..Express all your feelings and if u think you are successful and you recieve a sweet smile in return from the person to whom you conveyed your love,u'll feel as if you are the happiest person alive in this world, A sound will whisper to your heart "You did a great deed,you showered love"..Love is all unconditional,its a divine feeling,a channel to express yourself, an angel to spread happiness and laughter all around the world...The world demands happiness to recover from the wounds of inhumane activities,there are people dying and lets care enough for the living to make this world a better place for u and for me. Love is a blessing of god from which you can acheive possible from the I M possible,its a master key for success in every sphere,its a solution to each and every problem of your life,as it is said Love your books,dey'll strt loving you,love your life,it'll start loving you,spread love and i m sure u'll get true love in return. Feel the personfication of LOVE,its divine,its impeccable...........and a special thanks to Punjab Power lighting up your life "Mr Surinder Sahni" for playing a character that the Simple living and high thinking motto people would love to watch, which conveyed true love and made a positive impact on the minds of people....
Tht was my definition of true love.I hope tht u'll lyk it to some extent.......with a promise of writing more...........

My diwali holidays have started,fun time again..as i ws suffering from insomnia fr a week or so,i thought of sleeping fr d first two days of a week long vacation cus i believe tht healthy body leads to a healthy mind lolzzz..i dunno why our prof's are unaware of d fact .Anyways.Sunday banged on,it was d birthday of one of my closest pal,we ppl wre vry excited to be dre,many of my pals wre bck hme for d diwali breaks nd all of us wre prepared for landing into the year of 2006 once again...the last bt nt d least year of our school life..XIIth.. the final bon voyage of our school lyf!!!i would like to share some d moments wid u,i hope u'll njoy dem!!!!!
Pheww!!!Ahem ahem..we r back into the era of 2006.It was march 2006 and i went to take my result of d finals of d 11th standard,wid a blushing face,i expected a good result from my teachers and it turned out to be..i was promoted to the the 12th standard,nd dis tym again my heart said "Yeh dil maange more"
i decided to drop the IIT coaching stuff, as i was more into securing good marks in the 12th standrd examinations and accomplish d dreams of takin a flight abroad to pursue my engineering. Yipppiee!!! i wnted everything to slick in a proper way,so joined my tution for Physics at Mr Bhatnagar's,one of d finest pedagogue for Physics in d town!!
The tym was a bit scary,it ws at Six in d morning,as i had to come down 15 kms to reach his place,bt i guess tht ws fine for me as punctuality is one of my apprciable trait!!Two of my vry close friends wre also dre wid me,and we three killers wre having a fantastic tym dre lolzz and to my surprise on the fourth day,it started soundin more interstin wid d arrival of a sweet sloan ranger,the three of us glanced at each other and started giving a blushin and winking look,Physics became more interestin wid Electromagnetics replacing Mechanics and Bhatnagar Sir replacin Bansals...and d most important of all wid an innocent and a skittish face lolzz everything ws goin f9,though we wre fancy free!!!! After the tution it ws my school tym at 0800 hrs,it ws 12th standard nw,we wre the gaffers,the seniors,wid Economics lectures by Ranju mam being the most interesting and fun both,i remember we once forced mam to take our class near the terrace on d audi and she agreed to our exigency by takin us dre!!!...Six hrs used to pass like six minutes wid our dear ones.
We wnted to snap each and every moment in our memory of this wonderful year!!..we wre bottled into a rocking lyf !!!The evenings approached wid my maths tution at Mrs Rama's place,wid the three idiots bangin the doors together again lolzz..and to my surprise i met a girl who ws dre in bansal classes in d 11th standard,again a beuatiful visage and a smart brain,i mean i am a follower of mr John Keats,aesthetic,and admire beauty in every sense bcos i feel its a wondeful creation of d almighty and should be appreciated!!!!.nyways moving on Maths as always had been an interesting subject for me,thus i used to enjoy my evening sessions......
After the pleasent month named after Augustus Ceaser,came September and in the first week of the month we went for our Art of Living Yes Club in St Xaviers....a week long meditation course wid arnd forty students particpating in it.The week was amazing,meditation helped us to regain wt we had enervated, enhanced our interactive syd,and formed an association of the students wid follow ups on sundays and gatherings at the tym of festivities,an amazing experience in all!!bt we wre soon back to ourselves as we dint wnted to be too much into spiritual knowledge,as we felt everything shd be inculcated wid time.We wre into our youth and felt tht we shd be on a balanced side and wid dis knack i was enjoyin my life to d fullest without affecting my studies in anyways....time passed on wid d diwali utsav of our school,annual function,pre boards.and the den d tym came whr we enjoying our prep leave's wid test sessions at the tutions,feeling the chilling winters of jaipur,going to my friend's place,samosas of gangaur,cricket and coffee after every physics test at anshuman's place,watching guru together and get inspired by it,KBC by SRK.....everythin proved to b fun.... and finally the "Asshirvachan" or the farewell day came..it ws tym to say goodbye to d school lyf forever,to a temple whr i had spent the most splendid years of my life,wid handshakes,hugs,tears,blessings we all bid a goodbye to our school wid a promise to uphold its name in future and become impeccable personas..It ws nw d tym for the last board exam of my lyf and to head towards a new journey wid all sweet memories.....
