Tour Diary: Tirupati (11 July 2014)

Companions: Bhaskar Narasimham, Ramya Krishna and Pardha Saradhi.
Day and Date: Friday 11 July 2014
Total Time elapsed: More than 12 hours.
                                                        Friday July 11, I along with my sister and cousin reached Tirupathi. I had heard a lot about the temple and this was the first time I was going to visit it. I had no idea about the temple and the memories I was going to make. The place was so hugely populated that it took us nearly 10 hours to witness what is described as the most aesthetic view by many great poets, in words that themself are autonomous and could take you through a trip of the place within no time whilst you are reading them. Between the lines you will find a place, a void filled in by your mind with the possible projection of beauty being described in the lines. Am not so spiritual in my views, but what I witnessed was something definitely stronger than my will not to believe in god. I stood there dumbstruck, lost in the charm of the idol of lord Vekateswara. It was dark in color but brighter in my view. All I saw was a idol of life size or even big which felt like it would inch a step closer , if I stood right there. I never knew but I had my eyes going wet with tiny droplets. Never felt like that before. Can't think of any more words to put it in here. It's something to be felt by oneself but not described or to be told by others. Make sure you visit Tirupathi once whenever it is possible for you. trust me it is worth all that you will go through.

Happy New Year : Review!

Movie : Happy New Year Release Date : 24 October 2014 Starring : Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Jacky Shroff, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani Directed By : Farah Khan Music : Vishal-Shekhar (With Vishal in a special appearance in the movie) Lyricist : Irshad Kamil A typical Farah khan full length film with duration of a little over 179 minutes. The movie is star studded and I would say a very fitting act put together by all of them. Shah Rukh Khan will shine you out with his appearance and style, he is looking as fit and muscular ( more than ever before). Deepika looks fabulously gorgeous in the traditional outfit she wears when she meets the "Charlie's Angels" (Charlie-> Shah Rukh Khan). the movie is built on a very familiar English word "Vengeance". The plot is not a complex one to figure out. The roles were very well worn and torn by the cast. The typical Shah Rukh Khan stamp with extreme delicate emotional expression with perfect s...

Love: Is it so?

Friday December 13, time was some where around 3 p.m. was driving my way back to home and stopped near a traffic signal. An auto made its way through the stacked buses and heavy vehicles and stopped beside me. I noticed two ladies sitting in the auto with a kid of probably year or may be a half more, aged “wheat”ish kinda complexioned girl. A two wheeler rushed past me whistling air into my face, damn I hated it. The vehicle stopped at a distance of 9-10 feet from me. The small girl enjoyed the rush of the vehicle in the atmosphere and started patting on the lap of one of the lady, probably her grandmother. The two ladies noticed the vehicle much as all the people around did. The older one of them said noticing that a girl and a boy were sitting on the bike stuck to each other occupying only half the seat of the vehicle, “This generation of kids! God hail ‘em.They don’t know where to stop. Once they feel something they just go on doing it without the fear of society. The...

Tour Diary: Goa- The beginning : Nizamuddin to Thivim

The lush green blanket of life covering the land as far as the eye can see started my day off. The Konkan railway route one of the best displays of greenery with nature at its best. Moreover we have had a very good monsoon in these areas this year. You could see how each and every drop of the monsoon is of value when you see the tiny leaves shining brightest holding a droplet like a precious pearl. Sunlight offers the best brightness for us to witness a beauty right from the microscopic levels! If you keep looking at the scenes you will feel as if someone is trying to capture this in a picture using sun as flash for his shutter. The habitual expectation to see tall towers of bricks and steel slowly fades. Being habituated to live in concrete forests since so long; such stark contrast will hit you like lightning, making you forget the dust and rush of cities. You start to embrace the nature at its truest form. Suddenly the lonely feeling of being loner is crowd turn into the ...
