JUST MOVING ON-34


Just yesterday,I was thinking about my days in the college and then suddenly something interesting came to my mind.Why not compare one of the days to something grand and interesting,which is of course life itself?I often compare life with a train journey and other things,because it seems analogies are one of the sharpest of tools in order to retain something in the mind and I've felt the need of it ever since I've been studying.So,in order not to forget any moment of my day to day life,in this college,I use analogy.It seemed fascinating at that moment and then I started thinking about it and I think I should type it up otherwise I tend to forget things too soon and all the ideas pass out not even bothering to take permission from me!!!
Life,such a beautiful and grand thing what if could be represented by a single day!What if we could take each day as equivalent to an entire life?We are born each day and at the end we sort of switch ourselves off at night which is precisely what is the process of life itself.Death too is switching off just to be switched on again!
On a given day usually,I drop in at the college around 0900.The time is just like the day is in its infancy,people come in and the day well it just being started slowly starts picking up its pace like a boy learning to walk.After a hour or so,more people come in,the day gets more familiar with the world around it and people more comfortable.A few hours into the day it grows into its youth,jubilant and cheerful as people who had started their day at 0900,get into the groove and more or less each one is involved in some serious business.Just like youth is the most productive time,similarly the day in its youth around 1200 is the most productive time to work.Each one of us can be found working at that time,the nature of work,well I can't comment on that but more or less each one of us is found working around that time.
And just like after cheerful youth comes a time of calmness same is the case with the day,around 1400 the day rests in calmness,with everyone just working peacefully and a certain calmness can be felt.Then around 1500 the day starts feeling the experience of some grown up old man-type.
People begin to leave the place of work while the more productive ones are still working tirelessly.By 1600 the day sets into kind of its old age and the time,as it passes,starts becoming more and more event less and peaceful just like the old man in his backyard is just sitting and gazing at the people doing almost nothing!And as the clock ticks at 1700,the day is waiting for its death.All the excitement which looked like such a habit has passed,and there is a certain calm all around signifying the end.The moments are event less and the day well it does not offer much at this time.And slowly passes the moment when I too leave and the day slowly dies just waiting to be reborn as the next day!
Next day it is the same old story repeated again,and there is again life and death as usual!This might sound stupid,even I feel stupid once I read it up again but who cares,its good to be stupid sometimes as well,as long as nothing is harmed!
I just typed it up as it came in my mind.The story of a day is very comparable to the story of life itself,if thought over carefully.After all everything is nothing but a process undergoing change and we are nothing but mere spectators to this grand thing called the universe!

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...
