Another Trek...Another learning.....





This weekend was really a well spent one I should say.... Giving joy to others and enjoying myself... had gone for a small trek (or camping trip as a few of my friends now call it!!).... with a real large group... 45 people!! was fun...a few new people, few people who became new friends, and of course a few old friends..!! This time it was different for me because I belonged to no particular group.. i was there with everyone..(well almost!!:-D) there i realised what the word pursuit of happiness meant.. well you can be happy only if keep wanting to be happy...you can never say i m happy and i wish for nothing more!! and how every body's definitions of happiness are different from each other...!!!
while a few took joy in just sitting in the bus and watching the road(i still remember J's "Wow what a road!"), few others enjoyed singing in their intolerable voices...some were trying to capture these moments to last forever, while a few others were trying to forget what just happened...few were busy enjoying the loneliness,while some had tears as they felt lonely...different people different definitions!!
There was this bus cleaner with us who wondered why does this crazy bunch want to climb up the mountain and stay in the open?? well for him it was a real stupid thing.. for us it was fun.. it made me wonder what we do everyday ceases to be satisfying for us... everyday we get up to have a hot mug of coffee... but the small glass of chai up the mountain tasted like heavens!! Everyday we tuck ourselves in the warmth of our bed and go to sleep with no feelings.. but the small sleeping mat with a bare minimum shawl felt so comforting...
there was also this person whom i didn't know well before.. but when i spent some time with that person..i couldn't believe such positive attitudes still existed in this world full of cynics!!Someone amongst us lost a torch and was really not happy about it,, that person just said this.."Be happy that some village folk will find it and it will be of better use to him than us!!" OMG!! What a way of looking at things!! i bet and also wish that this person will always be happy and content...
so its not what we have but what we make out of what we have that really matters!!!

Express.....


We say we want to, but still cant cry....


Cross your heart and tell me did u really try?


Deep somwhere in your heart you have your fears..


Someone may laugh at you seeing you in tears...


Is that for real that it makes you weak??


It's just a feeling that's rolling down your cheek!!


Expressing without fear is actually brave...


Let the tears flow you cant take them to the grave..!!

FIRST ONE







Well ..it took me a lot many days but only one pathetic movie to start writing what i feel about things..I must say that the thought of writing a blog always crossed my mind.. but only as a passing thought... Now I Finally am starting this hoping that at least my friends will read it and those who read it become my friends!!Its going to be a very very normal blog in which I will write about my experiences which might not be alien to many of us... and if u agree with me and share the same thoughts.. then gotcha!! i got here first!! OK then lets begin....
My inspiration....AS I said earlier it took me one pathetic movie to start writing this... i think it wouldnt be fair if i name it... but at the end of this paragraph it will be any body's guess,,,, well on a fine Sunday evening me and my brother decided to have a nice time watching this new release which starred 2 respectable actors, and 1 not so respectable one!! we went to the theatre, it was jam packed.. i thought thank god we had booked the tickets in advance!(it took me 30 mins to regret doing that)...so it began... good faces in and around the movie.. wow.. i thought i got my money's worth... but by the time i forgot the last name in the credits the definition of claustrophobia started running through my head.. i just wanted to break away and run out... b'coz after the first half an hour the story was so very predictable and pathetic that i just felt nauseatic...and furthermore i went in expecting a 2 hour movie... SURPRISE SURPRISE!! the director thought it would be unfair for the public if they got only 2 hours of airconditioning and upholstered couches when they were paying so much!! well normally i would have thanked him.. but.......
i don't understand why are the Indian directors (or this one i should say) are fixated with love stories.. this movie need not have been a love story.. an out and out action thriller wud have been the best genre... but being born and brought up in bollywood.. he couldn't resist...so be it... i love the directors who make movies claiming that they are out and out bollywood masala movies... i love watching that genre.. but wen u say it is a "HARD HITTING REALITY" stuff... man it was HARD to digest, HITTING a certain group of people inappropriately, this was the only REALITY about the movie....
OK.. a very basic question... why does one go for a movie?? (here i m talking about people apart from those sitting in the corner seats i mean;no offences meant,carry on!) well to get entertained.. right? OK some will say cinema should make u think..yes i agree with that too... personally RDB is a movie i admire.. it makes u think.. and think good... sadly the movie i am talkin here is directed by a person who was the writer of RDB.. still the thoughts that come to ur mind aftr watching this movie are nowhere near to those that come to your mind after watching RDB...aw i think if even 10 people read this.. i have caused the producer enough loss so that he sues me... so Mr.producer nothing personal.. i love u as a director.. i loved even the most pathetic film u directed(the last one)!!
