Travel blogs....different style :)

I have to travel daily 40 Kms (20-20) to reach my damn office.... to get a bit faster i prefer it by my bike...even though its hell of a trip !!!
But todays post is not about how 'poor' me have to travel through such distressing situation...but...its about the birth of my "blog" ideas.
Yes, most of my blog ideas come from this 1 hr travel ...
Get to see so many exciting things on road , so many stories unbound in my own imagination.

Like the other day, saw a young dad on activa carrying his 5-6 months old baby snugged in a baby carrier close to his heart...where might he going? Drop baby to his mom's place or crushe? Where might be his wife..must be working woman ... i remember "zaansi ki raani" when i first saw him...only difference she was carrying the child on back and riding on horse :) else everything is same....he is fighting his own "ladhaiee", isn't it? isn't it a war , a struggle to live in this fast moving world?
just 2 min and so many so many thoughts :)

Then one day , waiting to get a "green" on my way saw a young cool chap...on a 2 wheeler, wearing a dhoti and a cool "Adidas" jacket on it !!! and to add more a fancy looking head phones .
Very funny site indeed....must be celebrating some mismatch day i guess...

There is banyan tree on my way , and it is perfectly situated when i take a sharp turn..a splendid sharp turn i would rather say :)..... and every time i pass this tree...i feel an urge to leave my bike and hold its branches...like a super hero (or any bollywood hero for that matter :P).......EVERYTIME. I am in fact so afraid of the intensity of this thought that i might do it someday :P

on the same road ahead once i saw an old lady being a pillion rider to a 40+ age man... she was wearing "nav-vari" ..a traditional sari wore in "koli style" . She had clutched her son's jacket so tight...guess it was totally new experience to her.......she was looking damn cute :)

At the same sharp turn one day an old vintage car was going steadily in front of me...after few seconds i was parallel with it , wanted to see who is riding this old beauty... and to my surprise the driver was as old and as beautiful as that of the car. A lady, must 80 + age driving it so confidently that i decided i am gonna take my car out tomorrow :)
i wanted to keep on looking at her face....such a marvellous confident face. I distinctly remember that day my mood was horrible , i was upset but when i passed her....i was smiling, in a fraction of second my mood took complete 180 deg turn....i was happy ...this was the magic of the moment i shared..

This is the magic i shared with these unknown faces, unknown stories.....wish i could share with you all....wish i could have a camera installed in front of my bike to take pictures whenever there is something so magical, so beautiful and inspiring... wish my idea would be legal in few days and i can have this innovative idea on front page of "economic times - power of idea" section :)

Till then...just "see" through my words :)

falling in love again....

It was past mid night... n I whispered "I want Icecream" ....he looked across the road to see if the shop was still open, it wasn't...
few seconds back, i with my girlish essence asked again...."i want icecream".
He got up, put on his jeans...took bike keys n said..."chal, lets go".
jumping with excitement...I in my night pyjama...cross checked if its okay to go out in this "avtaar"....wore the sandals n followed him happily..

it was cool outside...making it more beautiful.
"it was nice in US, the shops used to 24 * 7 open, isn't it? " ....i said "nope, its nicer here...searching for ice cream at this moment".
we reached the main road...fewer vehicles, open empty road...some "night riders" .... n there we saw a "icecream vaalaa" around the corner.
"should we take it from here" ? i said..."nope, lets go ahead, if we dnt get anywhere else, we will get it from here..." I didnt even bother what if he "wasn't" here till then !!!! :) It was just the ride i was enjoying...
after a while we found 2-3 more "gaadees" ....we took a U turn...n finally settled to one "kulfi vala".
"you have anything? " ... i knew he wont disappoint us :) pista is my usual choice in kulfi...
"malai n gulkand hai" .....
"wow...malai dena....well....umm..uh...thoda gulkand bhi" ....i was ready to explore new tastes :)
he gave us in one plate.....i looked around to sit for a while..there it was, a perfectly situated bench .... such a bliss to have at that time.
we sat on that beautiful bench...talked about our happy future...n finished up the most tasty kulfi i ever had in my entire life :D

while returning...took some more for family...

somewhere in my imaginary world...the song " falling in love again....." was playing in its finest tune ever .....

innocence personified....

Day before yesterday, i was walking down with my kid to nearby shop to get Rakhis. To my surprise he was very happy to walk with his one hand firmly holding mine...or was it vice versa :)...

we were quite. He was busy observing each n every vehicle that passed us and naming them enthusiastically...Riksha, motorcycle..car..bhubhu doggy doggy...yeah sometimes he repeats doggy just like bhu-bhu :)

i didn't ask my usual questions like "what did u do today" or "what u had for food" ....i enjoyed that little , silently connected walk of ours.

we reached our destination, the general store. As soon as he saw the shop with multicolor balls hanging on the door, he ran in.... i got busy selecting the rakhis. His eyes wandering and trying to catch every glimpse of surrounding...looking for the things he would love to get his hands on.. I just had a look at the small aisle crowded with all weird things starting from books to small buckets ...from mugs to bangles....and ofcource a enthusiastic child :) Just made sure he is safe among all such glittering gizmo before returning to the rakhi selection.

By the time i was done with my rakhi selection ,which i am sure was just a matter of few minutes, he was there standing with his new possession ( yeah once its in his hand, he already has possessed it ;)

He stood there looking at the new "Car"...

"wow, nice car, let me see it" ....well he is my kid, didn't fall for such lousy comment, he didn't hand it over to me :)

it was silver color with beige sit covers convertible car. I picked up 2-3 more fancy bright color cars but he was firm he wanted to get the one in his hands. Had to pay the shopkeeper "guessed" price :) and we started way back to home...but this was different journey all together.

No other 2/3/4 wheeler was of any importance :)

As soon as we were out, he wanted the car out of the plastic cover...60% was done and it was already on the road ....he just sat there in the middle of the road driving his brand new car.. I somehow managed to get him up and pursue to park the car in his hand till we reach home. He looked unhappy but still excited.

I couldn't stop smiling with his next move...he held my right hand and his right hand managing to hold the big car...he kept on driving it...on his Tummy !!! :D :D

This reminded me about a conversation i recently had with a friend, "as we grow up , the things which makes us happy decreases...so may be when we grow very old, there might be just 1 or 2 things which can give us pleasure, which will make us smile ".

So true isn't it?

The twinkle in my kid's eyes after each new thing in his life ......

yes, i have one immortal thing to be happy about. :)

Bad memory..good memory

Do you have strong bad memory or good memory?
do u remember bad instances or good instances??

A friend said, we tend to memorise "bad things happened to us" for longer span....
Thought about it and happy that the theory doesnt hold true for me ...

what about you???

बूंदे...

Was chatting with my dear friend today...we talk like this...anything...crazy stuff...

jo bhi dimag me aya..bola...vaise ke vaise likha hai ....ab padh rahi hu to lag raha hai..bich bich me kitne english words use karti hu !!! shyaaaa.....

जब किसी वॉल से पानी की धारा बहती है॥

देखा तो होगा कई बार

एक एक बूँद नीचे नीचे आती है

उपर वाली बूँद पता नही क्यू लगता है फास्ट है

नीचे वाली बूँदोसे...

और जैसेही उन्हे आके मिलती है

कभी देखा है?

दोनो कैसे एक हो जाते है

जैसे कभी 2 अलग थे ही नही

रुकते नही॥

और आगे जाते है.....और बूंदे समाते है

जब 2 बूंदे मिलती है...एक हल्का सा jerk होता है

जब वो merge होते है॥

पीछे कुछ नही रहता.....

एक तेजिसे आ जाती है उनमे...

और दौड़ने लगते है........

बूंदे...

Blessed.....

The one who will just see in my eyes and understand why i am so irritated,
why i am taking frustrations on him,
why i am crying for stupid reasons ,
listen to my tantrums just because he knows i am not in good mood..
wont take anything personally even when i say "F%$* Y*$" :) or "Get Lost"
The one who will still take me in his arms and cool me down n ask..."whats bothering you honey"...

The one I truly love...
will i be blessed with such love???

hmm..... i guess its time to ask..do u make someone feel so blessed??

i wanna discover myself.....i wanna be blessed n i wanna bless :)

शब्दे विण संवादू....

ऑफिस ला जातानाच्या घाईत तिला स्कूटी च्या आराश्यातून मागुन येणारया बाईक चा headlight चालू दिसला ...तिने twinkle twinkle little star ची action केली पुढच्या वेळी आरश्यात बघितले तेंवा headlight off होता :) ती खुश झाली

सिग्नल ला गाडी थांबली ...तिच्या शेजारी उभ्या टोणग्याने पचकन थुन्कून धरती पावन केली....तिने एक जळजळीत कटाक्ष टाकला , आळीपाळीने एकदा बिचारःया धरनी माय कड़े अणि एकदा त्या @#^%$ कड़े...

तिचा पुढचा सिग्नल green असताना दुसर्या बाजूची वाहने संधि-साधू पणा करू लागली..तिने होते नव्हते सगळे बळ एकवटून जोरात horn वाजवला आणि तिचा पुढे जाण्याचा हक्क बजावला ...


रात्री साडेनाऊ वाजता बॉसने विचारले , आज EOD (??!!) पर्यंत होईल ना पूर्ण ?? एक दीर्घ सुस्कारा सोडून ती नुसतीच हसली...


११ वाजता टाटा करून निघत असताना सहकारी खुणेने विचारले drop?? तीही निग्रहाने बाइक च्या keys दाखवून डोळे मिचकावून थॅंक्स म्हणाली ...


एक दिवस संपलेला असतो....दुसर्‍या दिवसाची मूकपणे वाट बघत...


ता . क. : इथे तिच्या बाळाच्या आणि तिच्या मूक संवादाचे वर्णन करावे एवढे सामर्थ्य माझ्या शब्दात नाही....
