JUST MOVING ON-31


Another week of my otherwise very routine life passes away and as I sit down and look back there is not much to think over regarding the past few days although there have been some very embarrassing moments,I feel.
Well,life itself is a learning curve isn't it?We are here learning each and every day,sometimes we falter,the other day we jump around it's just like a child who is learning isn't it?Inside all this complicated personality there exists a child in each one of us.That may be observed as the ecstasy we feel when something very pleasing occurs.I feel,no matter how much we grow,how complicated we become on the outside the inside is the same.The other day I was being too harsh on myself over the mess I created until I realized it was not a big deal at all.Making mistakes is all right,as long as we acknowledge them and learn from them.
Living light is very important and since past few months,I've felt the futility of over complicating things when there is nothing to fuss over.I read one day-the less we possess,the lesser worries we have.Well,I think if applied emotionally,this works wonder.This is the reason why I don't get emotionally involved with any of the individuals I come across.When there is no responsibility on my shoulders I can be as free as imaginable.Of course there are a few worries as well.One of them is significant as it often pulls my morale down.It is thought of being a failure.There are moments when I feel I don't do anything and that I waste a lot of time and people with the same initial conditions as me are doing a lot more significant things with their lives,while I'm just sitting over.It surrounds me to such an extent that I lose all courage at that moment,and right then we need a friend to empower us.I too feel there need to be a hand on my shoulder convincing me,asking me not to lose hope.But I keep looking for it and can't find it.But then,lets see what life has in it for me,after all I'm on a learning curve!
We all have our areas of expertise and of course we can't expect one to perform well in every field.I'm more interested in the inner working of human minds and this thing fascinates me.People ask me my hobby and I'm like blank,what to say?I don't have usual football,nba,going to movies etc kind of hobbies anymore.I used to have them once but now?I don't have enough time for them.My hobbies have shifted to more bookish reading,writing,thinking stuff and I feel,people generally shy away from people like that.So what next for me?I may be thought of as a geek called Vivek.That'd be strange because a few day back I used to make fun of those people.I study a lot but I'm not bookish.I mean people meeting me for the first time still get the impression of a rude guy with no interest in subject and one who just gets enough to pass exams.Whatever it Is,I'm enjoying my life at present and thinking about the testing times ahead which might be a good opportunity to test the strength of my character and the determination of my will as well....

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This...

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com...

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri...
