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 feeling of being the king of this green kingdom.  It’s a relief to see this. I have been sitting for hours lost in the thought of one and only one colour my eye could see “Green”. We talk so much about Blue being the coolest colour, white being a very peaceful and soothing to eye, “Red” being passionate symbolising love, rebellious symbolising battle glory and all other hidden mysteries that we could see in it; but we always fail to adjudge Green and attribute it to something, some feeling. I guess it is not because of our incapability. This is probably because when you think of Green you feel we are not as big as we think we are and we are not sure what to call this massive colour affecting us in so many ways at once we start forgetting what we could describe it by. It’s just a mesmerizing feeling. My days covered in half a cm thick dust has kicked off today with a warm cosy green blanket which the nature had woven and the land was wearing it graciously with so much of pride. The change has begun. I am so glad to have decided to take a train trip rather than a flight to Goa. It would have been very sad if I missed these gorgeous scenes. This has calmed my excitement down to reasonable levels which were kicking roofs when I started the journey to Goa! Let’s see what else the trip has to offer ahead. There is always room for surprises and nature is to damn good at it!

Nihar

So, the name of male lead in my stories. I have thought a lot and came to conclusion that this name would be the best. As the name suggest the hero looks very handsome and has a very good physical build with height of around 5 feet 11. He is just like a regular boy. He had very few people who disliked him. He is a regular find in modern days. Just like a boy next door. He is very open minded and accepts his mistakes when he committed any. He strongly believes that being truthful to people will push people to be the same with him. He could cast a magic spell on anyone with the words he used in his writings but could not speak a word from his mouth. He would listen and understand everything from the beginning but never spoke a word to any one on earth. No one knew why a mind with such extravagant set of words, could never force the mouth to spill some through it for the listeners sake. He was an average student in his school never popular in girls. He has a very silent na...

Happy 2nd first Day at HCL ;)

When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day.   Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...

Life Love & Labour

Life an ecstatic journey of uncontrollable emotions and still very simple as being born and perishing some day. How complicated has life been to most of us on a particular day when a problem seemed to take all options we got and still wasn't even close to being solved. And we felt like its the end of the world and life is being too harsh on us. After the time bails us out of it we reach a point in life when we look back and just laugh like fools thinking of the same. That's life for me!! So it is for all the others on earth I suppose. Whatever be our position we do have something that we feel is one of our achievements and that something remains to be special and we remember it as a result of the hard work we put behind preparing to achieve the feat. We remember those laboriously sleepy nights but we had to keep our eyes wide open just to make sure that we do complete our tasks. Labor is what we do get results and cherish it as a sweet piece of cake in memory !! Labor when don...
