When Silence Speaks...

Someday I am the journey Where every moment is filled with happiness Someday I am the destination Where there’s peace and stillness Someday I am the child Where every act is crazy and innocent Someday I am the dream Where nothing seems impossible Someday I am the smile Where everything around me comes to life Someday I am the strength Where every hurdle gets past smoothly Someday I am the freedom Where am bound by nothing in this world Someday I am the void Where everything dissolves into infinity Someday I am the faith Where every conspiracy of universe is insignificant

Last couple of years I have probably not been a lot like myself, have been a little guarded, a bit lost may be, but definitely something missing. Funny part is I did not realize that I wasn't full of myself until my recent trek with the strangers. I have always been a happy-go-lucky kind of person; that has not changed. But time spent with friends was cut down considerably; so maybe that's a reason I kind of forgot how notorious and child-like I can get. My first multi-day backpacking trek last week with a set of 12 strangers, helped me rediscover the real me.  This is who I was and who my friends and family know me as - a girl full of energy. Staying alone, I thought I had lost the touch. But being back in the mountains, I was once again the real me. I was labelled The crazy one - one who did all crazy things possible. I was the non-stop chatter box, to an extent that during a break on trek, when I was sitting silent watching nature, pretty much every one inquired if I wa

Here in the wilderness  I lie on a rock Sound of gushing water Singing in my ears Feel of cold air  Touching my face View of blue sky  Filling my eyes  These tall mountains Overlooking me And I think of nothing  I worry of nothing For out here in no-where I am nothing but myself Away from the world of everyone I am one with the nature Where the mountains guard my soul!

As I sit here in my hotel room in Dehradun, I hear the song “Yeh raatein, yeh mausam, nadi ka kinara, yeh chanchal hawa” playing somewhere far off and I am carried into a state of trance. Believe some sort of event is going on close to this location somewhere, and they have been singing various songs since evening, but this caught my attention forcing me to scribble something quickly in my blog. I was given a room with mountain view, and of course having stayed in Colorado for so many years, mountains aren’t new to me. But I must say every time I see them standing tall, I am always enchanted. And sometimes some songs are so apt for a situation that you feel that song was written specially for that moment. They fit in so perfectly!  This song just made this moment memorable. For those who know this song, see the picture below and imagine you feeling the cool breeze, watching the sunset and this song playing in the air far off. When you play a song, it’s your choice, so there is no

Staying healthy has been my motto since last 6 years. I must say I started late, very late; but it's better late than never.  I was an academic child not an athletic one. My fitness level as a kid was - you can say pathetic. But my health stayed strong over the years because of my general habits. I am not fond of food in general. I don't like street foods, chocolates, cakes, sweets, cheese etc... etc... Also, I am not lethargic, I keep myself engaged in a lot of activities throughout the year like  Running, Boxing, Hiking etc.. ; never a couch potato. So, all these did keep my health stats stable; which otherwise would have screwed my health altogether along with my ' No Exercise ' mode.  So, last year, post surgery, I started focusing more on health. But obviously with no good direction, I wasn't doing much. In November 2018, I joined a Bootcamp fitness club, here in Canada. I wanted something to replace my Title Boxing classes that I used to attend in Colorad
