JUST MOVING ON-42




Sometimes,I just close my eyes and try to understand my position with regard to various aspects of my life and whether,I've been successful or not on a day to day basis.This kind of a self check often helps me in correcting myself whenever I commit a mistake.An error,even the slightest in nature can't escape your eyes if you are willing to see it,of course.So a kind of self check is needed for everyone.Now,as I move on and my vision towards the world changes every now and then,it might be difficult to hold on to a particular viewpoint,isn't it?But then,I don't have much problem as usually I don't waste my time clashing one ideal against other.It is futile literally,I move on with whatever I have at the moment,and more or less don't let any person/idea have an influence on me until I grant permission.


Living here,I have realised a lot of amazing facts and continue to do so,even more frequently these days.One of them has been my permanent rejection of permanence!Its is as weird as it sounds but if thought over with a calm mind,it seems clear as the water in the lake.how often we cry over things lost by us while the truth is that we are gaining and losing almost every moment.Even the body of ours,which we claim to be our permanent identity changes over due course of time.We have lost everything except a few memories since our childhood.Yes the body we live in,no cell of it has been with us since then and yet we claim permanence.And then look at time,it can't rewind,it is one way traffic and can we hold it?Not even a second and if thought over properly there is nothing conceivable to have permanence at all.Really the greatest truths of life are as easy and as simple as that,but the fact of the matter is that even if we know every truth we generally tend to deviate from it.


I mean if we believe in non permanence,is there a need for attachment at all?The guy at the sea shore makes castles of sand,only to be washed up in a few hours!So does he cry over it,no he is a professional.He knows the truth and rebuilds and then again rebuilds with zero attachment.Why not learn from him?So what if we lose a few things?They are bound to perish one day or the other.This is not pessimism but in fact realism,which I firmly believe in now.So,in my day to day life,there is no desire to possess anything until necessary and of course there is no sorrow on the loss!Why should it be?I have a million other things to care for so,there is no time to waste on such petty things!!!!!!!!!

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
