Being Reborn..

Aah! Goa! Can't live with her..Can't live without her.. My trip to Goa was excellent to say the least. This time around the trip was about shanti.. peace. 5 of the 7 days there was spent watching the sunset from a shack on the beach called 'Shore Bar'. It Is the most amazing place to watch the sunset and my soul was awed and humbled by the sheer picturesque beauty of the scene. There's not much to write about, almost all the days were spent in a hash-fueled daze for that extra calm. One afternoon was spent visiting murjhim beach, place where the turtles lay their eggs. We didn't see any turtles or turtle eggs so It was probably off season time for them. A day was spent in the south of Goa; much quieter than the north and a lot slower paced. Towards the end of the 5th day though I felt a little stressed and homesick for Bombay. I missed my usual fast paced life and the noise and smell and people back in the city I was born in.
Coming back home this was a memorable trip and probably the last trip made in the company of my childhood friends.. for we do not know where life will take us all.. soon we will part on the path that destiny has decided for each of us, paths that will take us away from each other..and someday hopefully our paths will cross, and we will relive the moments that made us feel a bond.. a bond with each other and with mother nature..And In Goa we will be reborn..

Vacation Sublime!

Finally after a month and a half of exams It's going to be all over in 2 days and I will then be off for my well deserved vacation to Goa after almost a year. Just thinking of the beaches and the shacks and the sun, sand n' sea brings back fond memories of the best time of my life spent there in the company of my closest friends. The trip I made 2 years back with a few of my closest friends is still spoken amongst us with a wistful, reminiscent air. Hopefully we 'Kill It' there as we did that last time. I feel the desperate need to escape the city life and the daily grind and live free of the stress and the people and all things superficial. The urge to reconnect to that part deep inside of me that I seem to have forgotten is strong now and this holiday couldn't have come at a better time.

There may not be any stuff coming up on the blog for that time period, though I will try and update it while in Goa. I may also put up some pictures of the time we spend there on a different post.

22 Revolutions Around The Sun

6th of May 1986, 22 years back I was brought into this world. 22 years later I have yet to make a mark on it. Aimlessly I have wandered through life up until this point and it all hit me a few days back when I realized how old I've become and how direction less my life really is. Rabid optimism is a characteristic trait of my personality but in moments such as these it fails me and a vulnerable side comes to the fore. A side seldom seen by most but often known by me in solitude. A feeling of helplessness comes upon me at such times and I am unable to think clearly to get things done. And when I do have the time I waste it in trivial pursuits and dissipate my energies on random and inconsequential nonsense. Maybe I am afraid of my tomorrow, of what I need to do and what I will become once I make a decision. Yet with this post I also promise to get down to brass tacks and make a final decision to do something from now on as pertains my career and stick to it. Hope Lady Luck doesn't desert me when I most need her. And now is the time I need her very much.
