First Ever Long Run

On 28th August Marathon sponsored by Airtel was held.We could not register on time, still we(me & Ashwin) decided to be part of the run.

Getting up early in the morning is so painful, still woke up and as decided reached the venue by 5:30 a.m. We tried to register, but the last minute registration was not allowed, but we were allowed to join the run (without any hope of getting participation certificate or medal or prize) that made our moment. We joined for the Half Marathon of just 21.152 Kms. It began at 6:10 a.m. from Necklace Road to Gachibowli Stadium. Throughout the run we traveled across the city.

We know "The first step & the last step is the hardest one to take" this I realized both the same day. Being it the first ever run, it was "will I" or "will I not" and the other was those last few hundred meters in stadium. By the time we were about to finish we were dead tired, but our colleague Kshitij and Karthik cheered us that gave us extra energy to complete those final steps and we did it.

Having completed the run was simply awesome. I loved it and hope to look for more in the near future.

Thanks Ashwin for giving me company, Kshitij and Karthik for their support. And the Hyderabad traffic police who all the time looked around for our safety.

It’s a lifetime experience I had.

Monsoon At Its Best

It was a perfect start to welcome the monsoon, having made a trip to Chilkur Balaji temple. It was a weekend when we(I and my roommates) were missing our friends(probably everyone does specially on holidays :P) Here it is how this became so good.

It was drizzling since morning and cool air flowing, that time it felt too good to be living in penthouse. It was great when we looked out from our window, all of sudden i heard my friend say - "Lets go out" and that was it. We didn't decide just went along with time. We started for some eatables, but when does the plan work !!! It changed to a long drive(about 35kms). Came to Chilkur Balaji Temple. Always we used to get a long queue, but this time it was less and even we were allowed to enter the temple completely(routine restrictions were kept on hold.)

By the time we came out of the temple it rained too heavily. We sat there for sometime, as soon as it slowed we started. Since still it was drizzling we  were drenched, but that too was fun. While returning we had pakora, bhajiyas and tea. It was really awesome.

What more to start the season with !!!!

We called all our friends and had conference call. It was fun. Miss u guys  :)

Departure

Its been more than a month and i did not come up with any of my writing. I thought to write, but was excessively busy and cannot make it out. For the very few of my followers. Here's one more.

Few of my friends moved to different place and few are distant, meeting them is tough however hard we try. I do miss them a lot, but who stands the fate we had to DEPART. Meeting and separation are the part of this life.Some go and some comes, what matters is how do we remember them. For all my friends :

hum mile nahi ki bichar jaayein,

dil mein aapki yaadein aaj bhi hain,

kuch meethi aur kuch khaatti hain,

jinhe yaad kar aankhen aaj bhi nam ho jaati hain.

Miss u all  FRIENDS.

in Search Of........

Life is miserable.Its a journey,and in course we are always "in SearcH of"

In search of friends whom we can trust, love for which we can cross any limit, care that makes us feel relaxed and many more.

Began life and we were

   in search of --  "Maa(Mom)"

Whatever time it is we always wanted her to be with us.
We demanded so much from her but she gave us.

We entered education cycle

In schools we were

in search of -- "Friends"

With whom we can spend our spare time and have fun.
With whom we enjoy our studies as well.

Came for higher graduation i.e. college. 

By that time we felt we can understand life.
And there again we were

in search of -- "Love(Partner)"

A person with whom we can share our personal talks.
With whom we feel attached.
Close enough to spend the rest of life.

After graduation we hunt for JOB

in search of -- "Money"

It gives us luxuries in life and status & standard of living.

But now we are always  

in search of -- "Time"

Time we can meet our parents,
Time to meet friends,
Time to talk to the same person we loved in this busy schedule
Aand even we need to find time to spend the money we earned.

Its a cycle of life where we are always ----- "in SearcH of".......

!!!....Wet Eyes....!!!

It was a great start of the day with bright sun and knowing its Sunday. Had a relaxed time with friends, but before getting up from bed had sweet(keep guessing...) morning chat with them. Needed to go to office for some pending work, sometimes you have to.Worked for sometime and then had chat with friends and talked about their problems. Post our discussion we had famous and special "Hyderabadi Biryaani" that refreshed us.We resumed our work, almost completed it and returned home.

Made few calls to family and close friends. But the last call changed the whole day as 'Dreadful Sunday'. It was not meant to hurt to or give you trouble. It was not intentional but by mistake. We all know the consequences of 'ANGER' my friend said few harsh and brutal words. Within a fraction of seconds whole night turned in a NIGHTMARE.Tried to sleep but couldn't. Time was passing by too slow. After longtime i realized that my eyes were red and wet. I'm sorry.

After sleepless night saw my cell. Oh God!! It was time to wake up and its Monday office. Can't even skip the office, i was having a mandatory training. Its very tough to to do anything when you are not in position to work. I was troubled, puzzled and annoyed by self.  Anyhow sat in the training and learned the needful. After this whole day schedule went for another class in the evening that i personally choose to be part of it.

Keeping myself busy was the best solution i thought. Each and every moment i was waiting for my friends call, luckily the calls came but odd timings i was in the classes both the time. Even thought of talking but didn't had enough courage to talk. Had it been I'm not like this? But I'm really sorry for what i did. Hope things to be fine after one or more Sleepless Nights ...!!!

Ankahi Baatein

Kuch baatein ankahi si.....!!!!

din gujarte hai,

par samay kat ta nahi.

zindagi chalti jaati hai,

bas samay thamtha nahi.
yaadi aati hai,

par usse iski khabar he nahi.

ankahi fariyaad....!!!

baatein bahut saari hai,

par usse batani nahi.

unse kuch chupaane nahi,

par unhe batane ki himmat nahi.

ankahi baatein ...!!!

usse dekhna achha lagta hai,

par usse ye jatana nahi.

milna ka mann karta hai,

par usse kabhi pocchna nahi.

uske saath rehna pasand hai,

par uska kabhi samay lena nahi.

ankahe ahsaas...!!!

uske bina adhura sa hun,

par kabhi pura hona nahi.

thori se jagah dil mein chahta hun,

par usse kabhi ye baatein kahna nahi.......


Kuch ankahi baatein ...!!!!

WHO AM I

Journey of life begins with quest.

The day we are BORN our parents are asked A boy or a Girl ???

Stepping in our life we are stamped with most common question.
It is -- WHO AM I ??

We grow up ,We are asked our name..!!!
Religion - Hindu, Muslim, Sikh or Christian (where's Humanity !!!)
We reply with ease the name given by our parents

But do we know --- WHO AM I?

We start our studies to gain knowledge,
Continues studying to be at top
To show to teacher the best among all
But do we know -- WHO AM I?

We come to college and we go for specialization
Nothing just to prove self to get JOB

But in interview the foremost and most important question pop ups -- Tell be about yourself ?

Either way -- WHO AM I?

We meet people of our age group who becomes our life,
Whom we call FRIENDS.
We spend time with them and loose our self.
What remains is --- WHO AM I?

In our adolescence teenage age we fall in love
Do everything possible and put effort for impossibles as well.

We even forget about our ego.
But what we forget is --- WHO AM I?

We get married and live as two bodies one SOUL

We start a new life and settling a new course of life

We are blessed with babies and start thinking about their life and their future

But on the whole there remains -- WHO AM I?

A day will come when we will be lying on our death bed

Lot many people surrounding us
Few crying and few to make their presence.
Words will be shared either good or bad
(Generally they speak good of you although in their whole lifetime they might have hated you the most...!!! Strange but TRUE)

LIFE ends but unanswered ---- WHO AM I .....??????

Before it's too late, try to find...
WHO R U...??? 

Confused

In day to day life we come across many people. Few stay back and few leave us. Seldomly we meet who changes many things around us in a single instance of time. They make u go crazy, some make u curious and some make u lose urself and some gives mixed feelings and so on.
Fewdays back I met a similar person. That person changed my thoughts .
I felt something and followed.it .
Giving it a serious thought first question arose was --- Am I Correct ????

For me it was different, it kept in puzzled @#$!!
Still trying to figure it out Am I Correct ????

But there are things I FeeL !!!
I think of it most of d time,but don't want to talk about it....
I want to run behind it, but don't want to follow it....
I want it,but i don't want to put effort for it...
I FeeL !!!
I want to play, but don't want to make fun of it...
I want to run away from it,but still go behind it....
I want to write about it, but i don't want to think more about it....

But  I'm CONFUSED- "I FeeL"

Certain - Uncertain

Time is the only constant that moves with its own pace, rest all is variant. Today might not be the same as it was yesterday and may not be the same tomorrow, changes occur in few seconds as well. Time brings changes and change brings experiences. Even knowing the Changes(challenges) we resists it, and by the time we realize it, its too late.
Having given a thought about this i felt few aspects that we think, act or possess.

certain

we are here

uncertain

we will be here ?

certain

time passes by so fast

uncertain

can we make it last ?

certain

we got a life

uncertain

do we know when will we die ?

certain

working hard is a key to success

uncertain

Does everyone posseses ?

certain

work pays indeed

uncertain

Do we have friend in need ?

certain

death is certain, why make life in vain....?

and what is uncertain

the one who knows this, SUSTAINS.....!!!!

Before its too late we should accept the desirable "CHANGE".
Think before you act, as its a quest of survival -"BEST".

Gaurav
