A Day Out in Bhopal

My eyes are stinging from all the dirt, dust and pollutants got into them and i have a headache. But as it usually go with all adventures it was worth it. Breaking up the routine and mundane, getting out and doing something with friends is 10 times more fun experience than it sounds. Compare doing these things alone and you'll be bored to death, but when you do all this with a gang of people like mine you would definitely say at the end of the day that it was worth it. these things define the difference between 'time wasted' and a 'time well spent.

• Blaze trailing the roads of Bhopal on our two-wheelers, from one end to the other.
• Bickering over where to go next
• Aquarium visit. (Yes, you read right)
• Breaking (or just thinking and speculating of breaking) into deserted misshapen looking bungalows in hope of discovering a haunted place. 
• Risking slipping on oddly shaped rocks at 100 ft high just for the sake of a 'view'.
• Never ending leg pulling.

So, even though i missed lunch to hang about and had to drive all over, i'd say it was worth it. 

Pictures soon :)

when people brag in front of me

2011 is on the verge of ending and i'll be starting the new year with lots of hopes.
 2011 was an year of ups and downs for me - academically, emotionally and philosophically. There were things that i am thankful for and there were things i wish i could go back in time and change. What this whole year essentially taught me is this:

1.I've GOT to figure myself out. I need to be the person i want to be. And this is high time i stopped caring about what other people think. Society and its conflicting views aren't going to get me anywhere i'd rather be.
2. People are nicer than you think and if you are nice to them too, life goes along better than imagined.
3. I need to take more risks.
4. There is no reason i shouldn't be happier than i am :)

I hope everyone a wonderful 2012 awaiting !!!

Monsoon moments

image source: www.sodahead.com 

The smell of earth after its just rained, patter of raindrops on the window, how the sky looks, delightful, fresh and clean after showers, things reflected in puddles of water on the road, sound of 'SPLASH' whenever a car goes by, garden plants - lush green and thriving because of nourishment of rainwater, beads of water glistening and sparkling on its leaves.......
And having steamy cup of tea with spicy, crunchy 'pakoras' while its raining cats and dogs outside or having coffee while immersed in a romantic novel beside the window with raindrops trickling on the glass pane.
i just LOVE this season!!

what are your favorite moments or memories of monsoon?

Moments

the deep,fresh and intense red of this rose

does the moment speak something to you?

A mere whisper of innocence 

it is to me,

one could reach out and smell its sweet fragrance

and devour one's eyes on the water droplets adorning it

past the bud and on its way to bloom

it's pure, sweet

and yet a powerful symbol
