Journeys and Life - I

how long has it been since i have written a blog? Not long actually. i write it down but somehow in the crazy priorities of my life, I never really found time to make that into a blog. But I have had some amazing experiences in the last few months that I feel incomplete without having shared them.
Unlike last time, I am here this time with a strategy. I am going to blog about my experiences in my life and share the experiences about people around me.
There is a saying, ' There are two ways to live, one is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is - Albert Einstein'. this coming from a man who we consider the man of physics and to some of us the nerd who did not have a social life. So from here on i am going to take this space to show you that everything around you is a miracle. I truly believe it is. and I am sure you will see it too.

I am currently in a place away from my home country. In a world heritage site, Bordeaux in the south west of France in Europe. Bordeaux is a lovely city and for the next few months most of my blogs will surround the things this city has shown me and taught me. It has a beautiful river, The Garonne. the water is muddy but it still is great and of course the architecture and the buildings cannot be spoken about enough.

Just around the place where i get off to get to this river there is this amazing 100 mts of stretch which has trees on either sides. the first time i saw it I fell in love. and i fall in love with it everytime i see it. If you have seen a good amount of Hindi movies, you will see that a place like this comes often in Karan Johar's movies.
After i saw this place like 3 times is when i realised that everything around us is beautiful but what magnifies is our perspective. I admire the beauty in this place more when i see it framed in a photograph or in a movie screen. Bordeaux taught me, that a place/person/thing is as beautiful as we perceive it to be. I now understand the saying,'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'.

I am now going to be a frequent visitor to this blog site. To write and to review what i have written. Over the next few days i will write a lot about my stay in France. Not cos I am here now. but cos i want to show you that there is another world too out there.

until then, have a great time.

Regards

Haven't we ruined enough?

Sometimes we are at a loss for words. Let us get in touch with our inner selves.  The inner us which sent thoughts non stop.  the inner us which is silent now.  We often make mankind look bad, forgetting that we are one amongst it.  Does the sun change for you? It probably does, but we are too pessimistic to find out.  This world is a bad place to live in.  But why? The earth and the skies are all the same.  They have not changed. Then why? It is us. We have ruined our lives and the world.  - from the old writings, when i was hurt by seeing what destruction man has caused the beautiful nature

Breaking what I created.

I form the trees as I walk. I form the clouds as I walk. The thick dark clouds, that let no hope pass through when I look above for a sign of positivity, a ray of sun. Everything closed with thick black clouds. It is not even the night. It is the morning. The trees and the clouds covering everything that could have shown me light. It isn’t the world. This is just for me. This is just my world. I see nothing above, the ground beneath. On firm ground, I stand but I wish I weren’t. I wish the ground would suck me into it. But no, it is hard, hard like a rock. Telling me that I have closed this path too for you. You have nowhere to go. I am not opening my doors to you.   The trees loom over me. As they tower and their long branches fall down. I hold to one hoping to swing out of this but I cannot. I am too heavy for myself. My baggage is pulling me down. I cannot even carry myself off the ground. I jump hoping it would be high enough for me to cross over to the other s...

A fulfilling and incomplete love story

You looked at me. I turned you around & pointed. You wanted to give up, I wanted to give in. Yet my heart nudged for I understood better than you. as to why you wanted to give up, as to why she said out & yet wanted you. as to what you had done to cross the hurdles to get to her. I put on a smile, cut the grass ahead, and pushed you to go as she stood by the sun, waiting for you. I encouraged you to run. to run to her, to clear all shadows of doubt, to remove all clouds of confusion, to see the life you could have with her, the one she always wanted, the one you always worked for. As your eyes met hers & locked in gaze, I looked down, once again. The content feeling of a love story that survived yet a lone heart, walking away from the hopes that lied.
