JUST MOVING ON-69

If there was one thing I was not expecting was this sudden nothingness I have been experiencing these days!I don't think this will last much long but still every day I spend doing nothing pains me deeply.I feel like I should be doing a lot of things but the reality is I spend entire day at home doing nothing.I don't want to study as I have been doing the same for the past so many years.As soon as I am free I'll run off to some hill station for a week or so.This will suddenly kill a lot of nothingness in  my life.

Well,the results re about to come and frankly speaking,I'm not that positive about it.So I don't have a lot of expectations and I'm seriously considering planning for the exams ahead in June.It will be do or die for us and we don't have many options left as far as admissions are concerned.My time these days is being spent or less worrying about my future which is not far from normal of course!But really,things need to change.

Of all things I hate,monotony is the first.I never like monotony.In my life,in spending my time,in my food,in my clothes the only thing I like is change,a lot of it.I try to change everything I can,again and again.This is why I don't follow a routine for a long time,just because I don't want to be bored by it!I have been sitting at home for the past one year now,and I think this is getting monotonous.I don't have any work in the morning and normally I spend 2-3 hours just watching TV while sitting in the bed.Although its winter and it will change in the summer but still I don't want to see myself as a couch potato!I was an active person just a few months ago.I used to exercise in the morning and have a bath before anything else,but thanks to this sitting at home,doing nothing,I have become as lazy as anybody.

But the silver lining is that things are going to change.Yes,I don't have to sit at home for much longer now.I'll be heading out of this city this weekend and after that,next month I plan to spend some time in my village,thus breaking my monotony.As far as my behaviour is concerned,I haven't let myself down significantly.As we all know things work fine if we know the root cause of problems and solutions thereof,I don't have any major problems as such which can't be rectified.Earlier,I used to behave in a rash manner,but with time I have learnt to control myself.I don't have a lot to complain about myself.

I plan to visit Bodhgaya too in the coming days.the place has a special place in my heart and a visit there will help a lot personally.Besides,I have never been to that part so it Will be a interesting.Apart from that,there are a lot of places in bihar that I've not been too.And now seems to be a good time to do that.I don't have a any money problems(as earlier) and the time is in my hand as well.So I just have to pack my bag,look for the tickets and run away...as easy as that.Besides places in Bihar,there are quite a few places which have a special appeal as far as I am concerned.These days can be exciting,and I'll try everything to make it sure.

To kill time I have a lot of books too,but the only problem with these books is that you are not always in the mood to read 50 pages at once!Yes there are instances,when I can spent hours reading a particular book but they are few in number.Most of the time I read a page or two and move over to the next one.The TV has been my primary source of entertainment these days and it will continue to do so in the days to come as I don't have a lot of things to do for a few weeks now.I will commence my studies later in the month of april but that leaves me with a 5-6 weeks to spare and travel.

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...
