When Silence Speaks...

Yeah, if I owned a news channel or newspaper; then headlines today would read exactly like this. I was in transit in Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport and I had to wait for 4 hours; and trust me it was hell. It’s been ages since I have actually fought with mosquitoes, so for a bit I felt I might lose the battle with them.  In my childhood days, during rainy season, it was a time pass for us kids, clapping hands trying to kill mosquitoes. As disgusting as it may seem; back then it definitely was a fun filled activity. It’s been over couple of decades now that I have actually dealt with such an army of healthy & fit mosquitoes. I spent first hour trying to be civilized; just shooing them away; but then I had had enough. I went from defence to offence. Within the next hour I killed roughly 15 mosquitoes;  captured in my closed fist more than 10 mosquitoes and released these war prisoners safely alive. Honestly even today, it kind of gives a sense of accomplishment to accurately and preci

Like they say there is no better painter than nature and no better canvas than universe. The creativity you see in nature, is ... I don't have one word to describe it, it is simply  out of my imagination. Of course, some of the best moments in life are always captured in one’s memory; not in the camera. So naturally, I do not have pictures for most of these moments :) 1. Just imagine this, you are standing on a cliff of a mountain at approximately 9000 ft elevation, down the valley there is a river making its way through boulders, in front of you there are huge snow clad mountains filled with pine trees at the base; on your left the sun is rising, on your right you can still see the huge moon very clearly, and then out of no where a flock of about 50 tiny birds fly out from under the valley, hover above your head, making a circle and fly away. This happened with me on Har ki Dun (Himalayas) trek. And seeing so many elements of nature in action, I was awestruck. 2. I am

It’s good to fix the past. 10 years back if anyone told me that past could be fixed; relationships mended; people forgiven; I would just scoff. But now; I know better. End of the day, our goal to move on in life is so important; that everything else around it blurs out. You learn to make peace with the past. Life comes a full circle; they say what goes around comes around (yeah the karma bitch). And it really does. Life teaches you to see things in various perspectives; well whether you choose to learn from it or not; it’s your choice. And my advice (well I hate giving one as much as I hate taking one; so let’s just say my two cents); choose to learn; it will make life a little easier for you. Brooding over the past, cropping up old emotions doesn’t really help. And truly it’s not about forgiving others; it’s about forgiving and accepting yourself. Piling up old emotions; is like leaving water in a stagnant pond. It starts to collect and eventually stink. They need to be flushed fre
