Best Friend

Her presence is my strength,
Her words is my confidence,
Her satisfaction is my joy,
Her sufferings are my wounds,
Her smile is my happiness,
Her tears are my troubles,
She was my crying shoulder,
She was my hugging happiness,
She was my secret sharer,
She was there for me during all ups and downs in life,
We may be countries/states apart but our bond of friendship is strong,
Even when world hated me , she loved me from her heart,
She is my first friend , from the day when I entered this world,
She never expected me to give something in return for the favors she did to me,
She was always there for me in trouble times , sharing my sorrows,
She was the guardian angel of my life,
A friend indeed, with her I was so comfortable that I used to share everything,
To be frank the best friend ever I can find,
Thanks for being there for me "MOM" .. My Best friend..
Happy friendship day MOM ... Best Friends Forever ..


Happy friendship day to everyone ...

There Is Lot To ....

There is lot to say .. but a blink of eye is enough to speak ..

There is lot to feel .. but a warm touch of your loved one is enough to experience everything ..

There is lot to explore .. but a minute of glance in eyes of our loved one is enough to see the universe ..

There are lot of things to be happy for .. but a smile on our loved ones face give the satisfaction of life time ..

There are lot of tensions in life .. but a sentence from loved one give us the strength to fight against the world ..

There is lot of hate in this world ..  but a small seed of love spreads love everywhere ..

There is lot to achieve in life ..  but a smile on our parents face and satisfaction in their words due to us will be our biggest achievement ..

Always pride comes in between few things that we want to do in life .. but we do all stupid things for our loved ones ..

There is lot of ego .. but a small hugs from loved ones can make you feel better ..

There is lot of frustration .. but a small apology between us can keep us calm ..

There are lot of selfies .. but a group pic would be a good one ..

No one to take the blame for anything and No one is responsible for anything .. a small step towards acceptance can bring peace of mind ..

Some Good Old Memories - Visit To Amritsar

Golden Temple

After The trip of Himachal Pradesh our next stop was Punjab, Amritsar. A very wonderful place with full of traditional people and good LASSI.I cant forget the one glass of lassi that we had in Amritsar, it was the most amazing taste. We mainly had three hot spots here GOLDEN TEMPLE, WAGHA BORDER & JALLIANWALA BAGH.

         

Jalianwala Bagh

                                        Our first visit was to Jallianwala Bagh also known as Amritsar massacre. Both Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh are near by to each other. I remember all i read in my history books about Jallianwala Bagh.On Sunday April 13, 1919, which happened to be 'Baisakhi', one of Punjab's largest religious festivals, fifty British Indian Army soldiers, commanded by Dyer, began shooting at an unarmed gathering of men, women, and children without warning.Such a tragic event ,there is an art gallery which describes the event that happened there. Still we can see the wall with the bullet marks on them, which were enlightened and now its a peaceful garden. There is a well in the Garden in which many women and children jumped during the tragic event, it is sealed but we can see it.It was such an honor to see such a place and experience to be at such a place.

 After the visit of Jallianwala Bagh , we were headed to Golden Temple. It is one of the beautiful temples in India. Temple is located right in center of the pond, there were big big fishes in the pond also.As each place in India has history,this temple also has. There is a painting which depicts an warrior with no head.There was a huge rush for going in to the temple as we were short of time so we just took a round around the temple and came out. But believe once you visit this place you will be thinking of coming more and more due to its peacefulness, atmosphere and those friendly people. It was a very good experience to know other cultures also. And one more important thing is you must wear a cloth on your head as Sikhs if not you wont be allowed to go in, there you will get those for free so not to worry. 

Me and Adhok dancing in

Wagha Border

        Our final stop in Amritsar was Wagha Border.It is the border between India & Pakistan.There will be two gates one is of ours and other one is of there's.There, gates will be opened for a friendly handshakes, during this process each side some patriotic songs will be played. During that time we are allowed to dance in our side and support our side.As you can see me and my friend Adhokshaj are dancing. When you are there we will have a patriotic feeling which was so amazing to experience. On our side nearly thousands of people will come to support which makes us so happy to see and inspires us pretty much. And i thank god for making me an Indian. So proud to be one. In this way we spend nearly two hours of time there by watching all the show and had enjoyed a lot.

So our trip ended there for Punjab...

Some Good Old Memories - Visit to Himachal Pradesh(Bhir Bharmour)

 It was my first school trip to NORTH INDIA.I was studying my 8th class then. My first Excursion , as like every one i was pretty much excited.I was eager to go to other state and to take some rest from my regular boring study life.With us our faculty Mrs.VijayaLaxmi Madam came, i was very much affectionate with her, so i had no doubt that i will enjoy the trip. With us some 9th class students were also coming so we planned all what we were going to do there.They gave us our schedule about what were we going to see there and what all things that we had to pack for the trip. So i did some shopping and buyed some essential things and got ready for my trip. We were asked to report to the station directly, so dad came with me to drop .Got the train and everybody settled in there seats, the whole compartment was full of our gangs. It was just like a fish market even in night with all of us playing with WWF cards. We didnt sleep that night,but had lots of lots fun.

During Trekking ,
Mountain Carved

                 We arrived to the station the next day, from there to our camp locality we went on jeep's.After entering to the Base camp we were given time to fresh up and get ready for our trip.We were introduced to our Trainers or We can call as our escorts, they were young and full of  energy. From there our journey started in BHIR BHARMOUR. We had to cover nearly a 5-8 km a day by walk.We were given some materials like a Rucksack/backpack to carry all essential things with us,  Wind stopper jackets. So we have to carry them with us to every camp. So our journey started from there, as you can see in the pictures on your right side those were some pic taken during our complete TREKKING. As you can see the background the Greenery and the roads were so curvy, that was the first time that i saw those type of roads.

Waterfall Behind Me

Every thing was an surprise to me those roads how do they made them through mountains?Everything was just amazing to me as they are. Valleys were steep and the mountains were carved in different shapes, you can see those in some pics also. Waterfalls in between the roads was a thrill to watch, we used to stop when ever we saw a waterfall and spend a five minutes there by enjoying the beauty.  Can you guys find a waterfall in between the road? No, it happens only in India.And climate was also so good to us, very favorable for a nice day trekking.


 Trekking was one fun part of our trip, walking with friends those long distances, you know at that time there were no cell phones with friends so all were participating in discussions. We were very eager as we used to see the distance boards as still 3km to destination.

Rock Climbing &
Rappelling

                        Each Camp site was having something waiting for us there. Each site had some different activity for us. Activities like Rock Climbing, Rappelling, River Rafting and River Crossing. Every activity was awesome but we missed our River Rafting as water flow was dangerous.But the activities we were awesome we were doing those again and again, as we were small so we were taken to a smaller rock for Rock climbing and Rappelling . On the right side it is me doing the rock climbing, before doing our Trainer explained about the rock climbing and rappelling it was quite informative and while doing it that was the most Amazing feeling . Every body had there chance of doing and everybody enjoyed it.After those activities we returned to camp site and we were given tents to sleep with sleeping bags inside them. That was the first time i was sleeping in a tent and that too in a sleeping bag. We were too tired due to trekking and our activity so we slept calmly after a wonderful supper.




             

River Crossing

                            Next day we started for our next camp site, there our next activity was River Crossing, this was the best activity of all.It was so fun to cross a river,our trainer explained us how to cross a river and how to tie the knots etc and also said some precautions o be followed. Even our madam participated in it. It was so nice to see her crossing the river it gave all of us some confidence and joy.It reminded me something about MONKEY CRAWLING in Scout And Guide activity. It needed most of our energy to push ourselves to come across the river side.It was a difficult one and most adventurous one till now.

Group Photo

                    As we were done with that activity we returned to our camp. Our camp was near the water flow so all of us went to enjoy there. Water was very cold just like freezing cant even keep the foot even with shoe on it was so freezing. During day climate was moderate but during nights it was becoming very cold, so we decided to sleep two guys in one sleeping bag.Now when i think of that i feel funny. Here only we all took our Group Photo.We spent nearly one hour there and returned to our tents to sleep.We enjoyed a lot and most of the fun in night, some were telling ghost stories to others, some were busy in contacting there parents and telling what all we did till now, others were trying to sleep , me and my friend were outside enjoying the cold weather and just sharing about our views about the trip till now and saying our friends names who all missed this trip.

On Glacier With
Instructor Sanjay

                  From there we started for our last camp site in Himachal Pradesh. There was the most amazing surprise waiting for us.We saw the GLACIERS there and my heart was pumping like anything after seeing them i never expected in my whole life that actually i will snow and walk on the glacier. It was just like my dream came true.On seeing the glacier we guys were out of control and wee so excited to keep our first foot on the glacier.Before we could step on it our Instructor said  precautions to be followed and was helping us out. I remember every was falling while walking on the glacier for the first time it was worth seeing scene. Even i also fell for two to three times. We walked down the glacier from top to bottom really a wonderful experience in life.That was our last camp site for us we returned from there as temperature is too low there so we returned back and were back to our base camp. After this wonderful experiences of playing,walking on glaciers, rock climbing & rappelling , river crossing and all the trekking we all felt so amazing.We also visited some temples in between those are in below pics.


         So a total of 25 km we covered in our trip while trekking.And some amazing moments with friends i had.From There our next stop was Amritsar Punjab. Was eager to go and see the Wagha Border ,Golden Temple and Jalianwala Bagh.


These are some other photos taken there...

Its my first place to visit with my friends and most amazing place to see and have such a good experiences of life. I am very Thankful to all those with whose support this trip was a huge success and all my friends for making this trip a sweet memory to me....

I Can Understand

My Dada , he was the king of our home , his words were our orders to be done .. Dada was working hard day and night in all weather , just to get us food on the plate all together... days when you had to skip your lunch , I know you were happy for filling our stomach brunch. but where were you when we needed you , you were away always camping and working hard. I always had a feeling of anger for you , when i was young and used to miss you, I know what all you have been through to keep us up , i just wanted you to know that i can understand..

My mom , you are the best mom i can ever have .. you the queen and we were like your soldiers .. you were like a  savior for us  from the rest of the world ...doesn't matter how old we are, we were always kids for you mom , I know world isn't fair , but you were always there to share ... you were always committed and dedicated towards us.. you were always there for me, to take the blame for me...there are no words to express how i feel ... i can just say #respect from my heart side..when I was low you were there for me and never left me alone because you cared for me .. There is no way i can pay you back , i just wanted you to know that i can understand


Bro when you were born , i did all the crazy things to just see you smile, you were the best part of my childhood memories, as we grew together i was frustrated for all the attention you were getting, tried to beat you when ever i can but now, when i think of all those i regret to myself and just wish we had much more fun together..I know all the sacrifices you made to keep me happy , all you wanted in return was brother's love,but all i did was to tease and fight with you. when ever you needed support you were looking for me, but i was long gone before you could see me , i know you have no more faith on me but give me another chance to relive as you brother .. i know what all you have been through, i just wanted you to know that i can understand..


My baby girl , You were the angel of my life, a god gift that i always wished for..i always thank god that he made me meet you .. you came in my life when i was low .. your words are my inspiration.. i appreciate how you took care of me and all the extra love you gave me.. i know you always wanted time with me but i was stuck up with work my baby ... i can assure that there ain't women that can take your place ... you were always a princess for me baby ... Always tried to keep u happy and smiling .. you always made miracles with your words baby girl.. all the time we spent together and the best time of my life .. i wish i can take the time away and stay in those moments with you..  For you, there's no replacement ,You will always be my baby girl ... I know what i put you through,  i just wanted you to know that i can understand..
