JUST MOVING ON-61


So after quite some time,I'm back here writing once again!There has been a gap of about a month or so,and yes I felt like I was quite busy these days.The festivals have almost passed.We had a good Diwali week,it was fun.These days,I have been busy preparing for my entrance exams and sometimes though,I lose track.

A few days back,I set up a schedule and I have been almost following it till today,but there is a certain lack of concentration occasionally.I tend to lose my concentration quite often and it is not a helpful sign for me.I have been studying slowly but steadily and will be able to complete my syllabus in time.Now I have confidence and clearing the exams seems a good possibility but still there is some element of self doubt.I think it is necessary to keep our over confidence in check.I have been sitting at home for the past two months and now I am looking forward to getting out.In august,I had an opportunity to visit Varanasi for a week and I enjoyed it a lot.Now as I progress and November is about to pass,I think in the month of December I'll have some leisure time and I should make the most of it by getting out of here for some time.This will charge me up and will also help in boosting my preparation.

Meanwhile,here in Delhi,there is a trade fair coming up and like every year ,I will not be missing it.The weather is getting pleasant these days and yes winters are about to come.Personally,I love winters.We can travel throughout the day,enjoy the sunshine and then sip some hot tea wherever we might find it.Winters are fun.I usually get out on Sundays during the winter months and spend the day at some market or any other public place.The zoo is one of the best places to visit during the Sundays of the winter.Every Sunday seems like a picnic and the market places flooded with people is really a treat to watch.The only problem during the winter months is the amount of inertia we feel when getting out of our beds!Really,often at times it takes half an hour for me to get up and pick up my toothbrush in the washroom!

These winters are going to be monotonous as far as I am concerned.I don't have to go to college regularly,I don't have to spend time with my friends,all I am left with is the study.So i have to study on a daily basis and with Sundays off I'll try to beat the monotony.In the immediate future,I plan to get out of here for 4-5 days probably in December so that I can recharge myself,and then continue the studies as usual.

The syllabus which I assigned myself to be finished by November is on track and it is a relief for me,despite joining the research lab I have not lagged behind and thus I feel satisfied as far as my studies are concerned at the moment.Let's hope I clear the exam I'm preparing for,comfortably which will help me in the long run.I don't plan to take up a job anytime soon as I feel,my place is somewhere different from there.So,I have to keep working hard in order to succeed.

On a personal front though,I have a lot of work to do.Often at times I feel,I have a mechanism to deal with the problems of day to day life yet most of the times I am clueless.Sometimes I feel like I am different form others while sometimes i feel I don't belong among the people.I have a hermit kind of mind and really don't want to interact with a lot of people.Yet,when it comes to day to day life I have to deal with a lot of people.I have to listen to people who irritate me,I have to listen to people who also care for me.Really,it feels like a burden when you see people caring for you and you can't love them back.I often encounter this and I have no solution for this.Lets hope I keep improving day by day and eventually will be able to live calmly with no regrets what so ever!!!!

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
