Quest

In quest of our life, sometimes we like the roads to our destination so much that we always want to be on those roads, for some people it is distraction and for others it is destiny. I am very confused about this philosophy, lets take two cases-

1. I have seen in many cases where we follow our dreams and after reaching goal we miss those things a lot that we have left behind, in most of the cases it is the price that we have to pay to get something better in our life and in some other cases we spend rest of our life to undo what we have done.

2. Now lets look at the opposite case when we consider our path as our destination and stays where we are for rest of our life, in this case most of the time those decisions looks good for the moment but we regret our decision rest of the life.

I know that it is typical human nature to long for something which is not in our hand, but still why people are not very satisfied with their present state specially taking into consideration the fact that most of them are in this state because of their own decisions. I could see a lot of my friends in the field of software or management working in top MNC's and the common virtue they share is dis-satisfaction with their job, on the second thought I try to remember old days when they had dream to join those companies and after their selection they had a glow on their face with a satisfaction of achievement, but now just in couple of years that satisfaction has been replaced by some kind of frustration. I know its not in the human nature to stay at same place, and stay satisfied with the same conditions, but still I feel that somewhere there is a missing link...

Third Window- Illusion

life is like that!

Sometimes I feel that how life changes in moments, I have a huge list of some of the incredible experiences with me and my surround. Sometimes I also feel like starting some "funde-baazi", and thats what I am going to do today. (Disclaimer: This mail is sent only for spreading "Anoop-Gyan" don't take it seriously... )

So I was talking of some life changing moments and my wonder-list, some of them are so overwhelming that its really hard to believe on that. Sometime, the biggest pain in your life becomes the remedy and sometimes life itself presents you the think that you wished for (just like "किसी भी चीज़ को अगर दिल से चाहो तो पुरी की पुरी कायनात तुम्हे उसे मिलाने की कोशिश में लग जाती है"), a good challenge is enough to make to do certain things that you can never thought of and let you cross your limits, and a person who is very common and weak to world can make to bow down to your knees, really life is a wonderful wonder!

Makar Sankranti

Its "Makar Sankranti", my most favorite festival of all seasons. I still remember those days when I used to do all those crazy things for kites, right from preparing the thread that starts with crushing glass to make it powder to flying kites and having those exciting competition with other guys, counted among the best kite flying guy in my area... still miss those days big time!

Every year this festival comes with new surprises, and this year it was a day before!
Happy Makar Sankranti....

States...

Today, I was just counting that how many Indian states and Union Territories I have visited and what I liked most about them...

1. Assam- Assam like most of the NE states has an enigmatic nature in it, its alluring beauty and people will make you fall in love with it
2. Bihar- Even though its full of poor people lacking basic necessities in life, but they always find a way to relish their life
3. Chandigarh*- I love roads and rock garden
4. Chhattisgarh- Before the naksalite problem started the jungles were deep and soothing
5. Delhi*- I love driving down the roads of the Red fort and north and south block, make me proud
6. Goa- woooooooo... amazing place and some of the best beaches in the country, like Morjim (with white send and no sign of human being)
7. Gujarat- Warm people, very welcoming, good food and kites!
8. Haryana- I like the true Indian beauty of villages and farms
9. Himachal Pradesh- For me one of the top two beautiful states in the country kullu, manali, dalhozi, khajyer, shimla, some amazing trekking spots like rohtank and dobi on top of that water rafting
10. Jammu and Kashmir- Still waiting for Laddakh trip, but Jammu and Kashmir are gems in the Indian geography
11. Karnataka- I have never seen such greenery as it was on road from Maharastra to Karnataka
12. Kerala- Second most beautiful state, it has energy flowing in air which rejuvenate you!
13. Madhya Pradesh- The best place in the world... Indore.... Home sweet Home
14. Maharashtra- I don't like Mumbai much, but saurastra part is amazingly beautiful specially in the rainy season
15. Orissa- I don't remember much about this state as visited it a long ago
16. Punjab- Some of the best people in the world, just go to any village in this state and you will find how to live the life with true passion and vigor
17. Rajasthan- I love this state colors and beauty... Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaypur (I love this city) are just few names to fall for
18. Sikkim- I still remember one of the most beautiful experience that I ever had... Changu Lake... lovely people and lovely state
19. Tamil Nadu- I love Kanyakumari's Vivekananda Statue and the meditation room inside it, an experience hard to explain in words
20. Uttar Pradesh- True rustic India
21. Uttarakhand- Beautiful, Jim Carbet is amazing
22. West Bengal- Kolkata is true City of Joy... I wish they can keep it clean, learning about life of Swami Vivekananda was the icing on the cake

Knock Knock...!!!

Hello!!!
Someones' there?
Knock Knock...

Its wake up time buddy... may be you will lose me if still you are asleep...
I am just trying to help you as you have invested a lot of time in getting me...
... and you can't let me got like this

I know you realize my importance...
Just wanted to know where is that zeal that passion
where is that air of attitude mixed with anger that used to be around you...

you can't be so ignorant and passive
break the walls around you and look outside
I am still there waiting for you... your good old 'self'
its time for another battle... and you gotta win this

P.S.- ... One

F.O.C.U.S.

Its really hard to concentrate over the same stuff for a long time, specially for the person like me those who always look for a multidimensional life. Hippie inside me always provokes me to explore new dimensions and directions in the life. Last month was nothing-to-do kind of month,when life was just encircled within Starbucks, library, and laboratory working over my research work and applying for jobs online.

I still remember times in my first and second semester here when I was kind of 'more into study' person and had a great focus over studies and career. During past one year or may be past couple of months, direction of winds seems to be changed in my life and I apparently seem to loose the focus that I had, may be its an indication of storm or it could be a waring. I don't know what has changed the whole perspectives, outlook... but the bottom line is that I have to get back one of my strengths, and focus and live up to the challenge.

P.S.- From the third window... Triology

The Third Window...

I have been a lover of art since my childhood, I still remember my drawings, sketches, paintings and clay work though I am out of contact for almost 10 years, the only thing I did in last 10 years is draw some of the ED (Engineering Drawing) figures. During recent times, I have developed a new taste towards photography, I don't know when it all started but year after year I was more and more inclined towards capturing natural and human activities.

Finally, today I got chance to share some of the works with you all with the new blog page- The Third Window. This page is a page of an amateur photographer, and I will be very open to comments over the pictures which will help me to improve in this field.

P.S.- This page will also be available on email, if you like to receive the postings of this page like Voyage on your email just send me an email of with your email address.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to all...

plays a very important role in life, this year I wish you see the best dreams of your life and turn them into your desires and finally into your destiny!
