An attempt to discover the beauty of South India...

Very lately I got an opportunity to discover the beauty of a part of the peninsular India which included parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerela. Though the entire tour was an amazingly new experience to me but certain parts, or places I should say, left an everlasting impression on me!
The first morning was scheduled to move towards the very popular temple of Tirupathi Balaji. I was excited to go to the holy place as I had heard whole lot of praises of the place and wanted to discover the place in real. The long queue of the relegion lovers that had to be followed to reach the end was enough for anyone to guess and estimate the faith and purity people feel for the almighty. There was an unusual enthusiasm within me, a feeling both religious and divine in itself and I could see the same enthusiasm in all of us rather everybody present there. They say approx one crore people visit this holy shrine daily. I felt a reluctance to believe this formerly but when I got to witness the reality, I was sure it could be more than a crore as well. After going through the long queue of the devotees, I entered the main temple where the almighty was worshiped in idol. There was a power in the picture that stood in front of me, a power that made me want to stay there for a longer period of time than was allowed, a power that left an ever lasting impression on me and made me believe that if millions of people surrender their faith here daily, they certainly have a valid reason to do so. I WAS TOUCHED!
The second place that I surely cannot forget is Kodaikanal hill station. This was a place I was most excited to go. I always had a wish to visit this hill station. As we were approaching near to it, climate was becoming colder than before and this told me that along with the beautiful surroundings, I am gonna enjoy my favorite weather as well - winters. The beauty of the place is perhaps beyond the scope of my words. It had a splendid blend of nature, climate and terrain. Just a rough glimpse of the place forced us to spare a day extra to enjoy the serenity of the beautiful place. Early morning we left to discover the higher areas of Kodaikanal. The way to the sights was walled with long, tall and dense trees which added to the beauty of the place. Suicide point is a popular sight of the hill station which is said to have witnessed suicide of many people. The point was at a height that was attractive in itself enough to make a determined person implement his suicidal intentions. But to me it was scary, may be because heights have always been scary to me. Then comes the lake that forms the heart of Kodaikanal. Flowers of lotus blooming in the still waters, clouds touching the surface of the water, golden rays of sun piercing the clouds to reach the water surface making it shine like million pearls, birds flying over, tall and beautiful auricaria trees bordering it on all the sides – the lake was a place that I would say “Heaven on earth”! Watching the lake at the dusk of the day was probably the most romantic picturesque I have ever came across. By the end of the day, I was completely in love with the place – every aspect of it, may be climate, its beauty, the serenity, the natural front and everything. If given a chance, I would love to inhabit this stupendous place for the rest of my life!
Beaches were another sight that are worth quoting. Walking on the borders where soft water would wet your feet, cool breeze striking against your face, is a feeling that forces you to believe that heaven is not just a collaboration of thoughts, but can actually exist!! As I experienced, in early hours of the morning, when no one really is around, the only sound that could be heard is of the rising and falling waves. The sound of waves, at one moment is similar to the applause of millions of people appreciating you for nothing while, the next moment, the sound is one that is challenging and inviting. The all day water adventure at the beaches left us completely drawn but then WHATEVER – WHO CARES!!!
Kanyakumari is a place which sees the junction where the three large water bodies i.e. The Bay of Bengal, The Indian Ocean and The Arabian Sea meet. The water at this junction reflects three different colors which is a beautiful sight again! Now how on earth can two liquids remain separate and reflect their individual color!! Amazing it was! The south India completely is surrounded with water all over accompanied by greenery that is entirely natural and beautiful. Absolute natural beauty, if one wishes to see, well here is the place you must not leave unchecked!! A place that promises you absolute peace of mind, healthy environment flooding with blue-green water everywere you move your eye-ball and coconut trees and ofcourse not to forget - idli, sambhar and dosa!!

Dreamz....

Dreams perhaps hold one most prominent place in one's structure of thoughts. Right from the beginning, one starts dreamimg about what he is going to grow up into, thats probably the first dream for anyone. And being a part of the masses, I too dreamt about the same! But fortunately or unfortunately they were never stable!
As I grew up, dreams kept changing or I should say evolving but they never grew up with me or with time. I still live in the same splendid dreamworld of mine which I happenned to create when I was a lil girl, too small to realise the real world. Its a place which has its complete circumference entirely my way. I never pondered to decide its interiors but they kept taking their own shape as I became more and more sure of what I actually aspire for. In a nutshell, it has everything and everyone that I adore, or ever did, in my life. I still enjoy with my lost friends there together with the existing ones and I play with my broken belongings. But the change that time has brought about is that I no more fantasize of turning this amazing imagination of mine into a reality. I no more believe that life is only what you want it to be but rather its never the way you want. One probable reason that I could reasonably figure out is the more you decode and face the truth and reality of the real world, the more you loose faith in your dreamworld . They say its better the sooner you emerge from the imaginations of yours, so, I have!
But that, ofcourse, doesn't means that one should stop dreaming. WHATEVER...one should always dream as it makes you more precise in articulation and gives you the freedom of enjoying your life in a way that you always wanted to without any ifs and buts. And then who knows, one of them might even come true! God afterall is one power I completely have faith in. So pals, dream like you have never dreamt before. Let your dreams breathe in the air irrespective of their being too much or too less possible. Sky is the limit having a wide horizon saying "Dreams Unlimited"!! Live life kingsize....

Hi FRiENDS...

Well "Friends" is what I chose to address everyone who is reading this post irrespective of the fact whether I know you or not! A word that we use to greet someone who is or can be dear to us not being a part of our family. God blessed us with numerous relations before he sent us down to earth. Beginning the journey of relations from Mom - Dad, we had brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins and so many yet left to be listed out. And then he left it on us to choose whom we want our friends to be, that means a relatation that entirely rests on our descretion!
For me the very definition of friendship always kept changing with the changing faces. Ever since I walked into the school on the first day perhaps, I think I moulded an all new definition of friend every next standard I was promoted to. So many of them came and went making their imprints in my life, some bad, some good and some worth cherishing the whole life! Sometimes sitting being solitary and thinking about the good times of life makes you remember some friends who might not be with you today, but you still wish from heart to be with them.
Today I presume that, to a good extent, I have understood what exactly a friend is all about. And thanks to some amazing friends of me who made me realize that. Life surely is incomplete without friends but iff they are friends with their true meaning! They know you more than your family perhaps because you are actually YOU when you are with them.
They say a comrade is the one who know you through and till the depth of transparency, and I say "he certainly do!". They would help us in our tough times, would make us feel alright when we're feeling blue, party with us, shout with us and above all, they love us for what we are! There had been farewells, there was school, then entrance exams, and then college and don't know whats yet awaiting, WHATEVER....but something deep inside is sure of being unknowingly knowing we'll always be there!
Just wanna thankyou LORD for blessing me with the amazing friends for life on whom I can count numerous times without giving a second thought. Three cheers!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL BUDDIES.......

Music..Ahhh the flavour of life!

Music..the very word is refreshing in its own. Music has always been a can't-live-without passion. It doesn't matter at times whether or not I am listening to it, but its presence is indispensable for me. Though its never certain as of what I want to listen all the time or may be most of the times, I never had a particular choice about it. I prefer listening fast beats as it keeps me enthusiastic. Unknowingly it gives me an unknown reason to enjoy myself, to enjoy whatever situation I am in and I really feel like "I don't give a damn!" kinda feeling when I am completely into it. It somehow makes me realize I am extremely important to someone and thats no one else but me!!
All moods realized into a 4-6 minutes piece of sound!! It feels amazing to know that even a majority of other people too think the way you do! And then for that matter it could be anything... feeling happy, feeling sad, feeling rediculous about something, getting depressed over something, getting nostalgic, confused between right and wrong or perhaps the most beautiful feeling.. feeling of love!! It tunes out all your feelings in the most splendid and expressive way possible. I reckon that music is the best way to express one's feeling as you can't be that clear and expressive yourself at times! WHATEVER.... may be its a mere source of entertainment for someone, a tool for partying for someone else but it means a lot more than all these things to me.. what exactly, can't really say!!

LIFE.. What is it?

Life!!!! Everybody has his own way to visualize! It can be as beautiful and serene as this flower or for someone it might appear dull and colorless as this flower again!! Its all about YOUR way of putting up the things!
Life is going good, as in I have no complaints with it but still i feel there is something I am not satiated with! There is something I am alawys craving for and what it is, I just don't know! But then I think its with everybody, if one is satisfied with everything in life, life has no meaning left!
One thing I love about life is that its always changing. We never encounter the same things time and again, and that leads you to know what actually the so called "diversity" is! Thats admitted that even joys are also not permanent but at tough times, the very thought gives me immense satisfaction that even sorrows too are momentary. I like taking life the way it comes, I like to face and tackle the ups and downs but when they appear at the cost of my relations, thats where I am weak and get hurt!
Since the child hood to the date today, it has always been a tremendous learning experience. At every stage I think thats all that life had to teach me and every next stage I find myself wrong! It still has so much in store and unfortunately it makes me more apprehensive but then WHATEVER... I still believe in life, every aspect of it, it has given me a wonderful family to take care and some friends who are all enough for me to combat with every situation!! Hope I could someday frame it completely my way.........
