ponder and write, write and ponder.. LOL

Its been ages since i actually scribbled something here.. :)

In a Happy Space... got married.. volllaaaaa :p

Sometimes when i look back at life it feels funny, where did i start where have i traveled too... with each passing days as we grow older it just knocks you that its true whatever happens happens for the best... I have loved, hated and loved and fallen and stood up and here i am today. Its up to us how we see it, we could just be cribbing or else turn things into the way we want.

I dont even know what is the agenda today that i feel like writing about, just a run through memories and dark lanes of past kinda made me smile today.

Will try and write often, i am loosing the grip of the flow in writing, i have to actually think.. lol.. i guess it comes with age.. goshhhh am i growing old...

Mumbai Musafirs...Where the journey never ends..!!!!

Its been about Three years now that we started of with something just out of boredom.... Something we thought we could do better without really knowing that we would come so far..... Yup Mumbai Musafirs that the name, that my baby, something i am so proud of, something that will makes me smile if i have to have my "have i made it large" moment  :p

Come to think of it, it was 3 years ago , rather 2 years 11 months  ago that we just decided that we are gonna have our first ride. To think of it now , it was a quickie over a few drinks at Fusion Dhabba :) we had no name. we knew nothing about the game , had no clue what we were getting into all we 4 knew was that we wanna do something just for fun :)

So on the 13th of Dec , we decided that Trippers would be the name, till a friend pointed out saying "wat kind of name is that, sounds more like a strip club".. LOL

We scratched our brains, our knees but would not come up with anything better.. Trippers, Wanderers, Bikers etc is all we could manage, finally it was Jejo who got us the logo and the name from someone at work.. "Mumbai Musafirs" estd 2010..!!! :)





















The first ride happened in Jan 2011 and it still feels like just yesterday... Since Jan 2011 till Nov 2013 have come a long way, we have clocked 20,000+kms, made friends, made family, fell in love, fell out of love, learnt a hell lot. They say experience is the best teacher , they were so right..

It is more like we were out there to just have fun instead we made loads of memories....

Life surprises us in the weirdest manner that we can never think off, i mean 3 years ago i had no clue i would be doing something like this, i would bloody own a bullet, its like whatever stupid funny whims and fancies i had it was all true.  While in college i used to tell by then bf that i want to ride a bike, that i love biking, but never thought i meant anything of it cause then it was more about me and him going somewhere by the cheapest mode of transport :p The bike was a BOXER :p 80kmpl... LOL

I guess this is what we call destiny... i mean Nishan and i were not even talking for about 10 years after school and one fine day out of the blue , one bloody happy high night and Facebook for company nishan and me started talking again... lol i still cant remember a single line we spoke :) it was Aug 2010. He was in Canada tat time , he came back to India i think in Oct and gave me a call and said lets meet up..  Felt really weird , like u know u are gonna be face to face with someone who u did not speak to for 10 years but u were best frnds while in school, u know giving up on someone just like tat.. We met up.. spoke about general stuff.. very formal.... One of the toughest catching up ever.. Then comes a day on FB when i read a post from nishan stating that he is going on a ride, i pitch myself that please take me along.. somehow his pillion does not turn up and i get a chance to go. I get to catch up with Jejo, Sweta, Medon and rinki..  Met jejo after almost 11 years after school...

We went on that ride and bus that is all that took for the idea of MM to germinates.. So on 13th Dec 2010 jejo sweta nishan and moi we together happened to become proud parents of this little thing called.......

 MUMBAI MUSAFIRS.......where the journey never ends...!!! 

Does everything really need a header.. !!! does it ??

Just felt like scribbling something.. No work at the desk and nothing to do really gets ur mind working... sitting on the desk you can actually start a trip to the world out there and yes Google does help a bit in that by the pictographs and details.. but sometimes it also gets u wondering how can u go deep inside a human mind.. its like a castle so difficult to beat yet can be easily bought down if u have the right access... 

No not trying to get into a pravachan.... just a thought...











Anyways this comes from the fact that recently had a trip to malvan and back in the 16th century a gentleman named Shivaji actually thought so much ahead of time... Went to this fort which is in water (sindhudurg tats the name - google it  :D ) made on a set of rocks which was in the middle of the Arabian sea.. has sweet water facility i.e drinking water, used the same rocks to make the boundary wall, had a tunnel to connect outside a 8 km tunnel.. i mean how man how.. today we have all the means and technology yet we have cracking walls, falling buildings... but tat 16th century fort still stands tall today...

History has lot to learnt from... !!!

Little wonders of life :)

Life indeed throws u surprises :) and i love them.. :)

Have u ever thought that an anonymous frnd tat u know , u and that frnd must have crossed paths, must have shared the same air, played in the same compound , have had the same set of frnd yet u are unknown...

This one is for my virtual frnd @illusions of reality who actually gave me a name once..

:)

Life is good.. :)

I Lived !!!

Well been there done that.... the trip to Tawang happened.... and trust me it felt like i lived my dream there... i could say its beautiful, awesome blah blah cause whatever adjective u use for the NE its true but for me it felt like HOME...!! i don't know why but there is something about the mountains tat makes me feel home....

I am fat i cant climb mountains they make me sick, i cant breath, i cant handle cold yet i long to go back to the mountains again... its like they call me... :) i guess i must have been a mountain person in some lifetime.. :p

As they  say ... " Anyone who's stood atop a mountain pass knows that indescribable feeling, one part euphoria, one part melancholy...!!"  

The picture was taken on the way to Tawang from the Bumla pass... i cud have stayed there all my life... i don't why i just wanted to walk on those clouds.... it felt like HEAVEN... i think if there is another world like the hell and heaven, this had to be the pearly gates... 

There was nothing but PEACE around.... i dont know what to write cause words  are not enough to describe this feeling,  this place...

All i would say i was a tourist once but with NE i became a traveler...!!!

Ride, trips and a piece of life.. !!!

So many things to write so many things to do, right now all i wanna do is take a break :p

i need a holiday... guess what i am hitting the Arunachal Pradesh this year end and i cant wait for these few days anymore.. !!

Travelling gives me so much , in a way it helps me not only do the cliche "unwind" but yes its gives me wings, it satisfies me, it makes me happy and yes if i take a grp of frnds along and they like it it gets high :)

AP happened by chance , i totally believe in destiny now :) 2nd incident boss.. i always wanted to go to tawang and had no clue i would end up there so soon...

I asked for it and lo it was done and the best part it was planned so well before time that it feels likes its been done just within a blink of the eyes..

lol lol lol... i am happy.. oh btw here the clouds are rumbling i wonder if the rains are done and gone or its still the rainy season...

will we get snow in dec in twang ??? now tats a question i need to Google..

off to Google.. bye for now :)

Kerela... Need i say more... :)
