JUST MOVING ON-56

Often at times, unexpected things happen threatening to destroy our inner calm and we are left helpless.It is not that I'm learned enough to handle such things and thus sometimes feel lonely.These days have been busy for me and I wish I could control the flow of time.Not possible though.

Only last week,I visited my college and after spending few hours there,we met our juniors and recalled our good old days,which is not a long time ago!Only 3 months back,we were daily visitors there.Anyways,we all have good memories of our college days and now I feel why so.Sometimes,I feel I should let the things do the work themselves and not meddle in because even though I try to change things a lot,I can't.So why bother!Only a few years back I was planning this and that,and then when the time comes,I can't help but go with the flow.

It is like this all the time.I will not waste my time building castles in the air,because it is not worth the time.At the same moment,I have to be imaginative and creative.It is the need of the hour.Nowadays,I'm busy applying for various jobs as well as preparing for my entrance exams.The mind is kind of restless but I'm going with the flow.Even if the stress comes along,I accept it as a part of life and try not to deviate much.I don't interact much with people around me and sometimes it hurts me.Its just that talking to friends,and other people makes us feel good and fills us up with the much needed enthusiasm.

In my circle,there are a few friends,some of whom are doing the same thing that I'm doing and sometimes we do meet to discuss our plans and study further.I have to attend an interview for the Air force this week,which I look forward to .With this week off,or I should say time to reboot,I'll return to my studies later next week with renewed enthusiasm.A week out of Delhi will also boost me in other way.As I'm a lover of traveling,I'll try to make the best of this off week while completing my interview.Varanasi is a place I wanted to visit anyways and a week in that city is the best thing I needed at the moment.

Now the first phase of my study plan is almost over and more or less I've succeded in the tasks I assigned to myself.The next phase will start next week,when I return and then I hope this too will be satisfactory.Passing the exams is my top priority right now.The tuitions I take,are for making use of some free time and making some money and it has to be limited to that.A part time job is not supposed to take up much of my time.I observed this tuition thing is taking up a lot of my time and I'm losing focus on my studies which is a harmful thing indeed!The focus is not to be lost and I've to reaffirm that.

There have been some good things,while some have been bad indeed as usual and I've to look to it that the bad things don't make me lose my self confidence.There are failures in the way and I don't have to lose focus.Daily chores don't affect me much and I feel blessed that I have the luxury of spending time with my family,which sadly some of my friends don't.I have to make the best use of my time,money and energy in order to succeed and I will.

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
