Memories……………….



When this word comes to my mind , I can see myself submerging into the deep sea , I walk through an empty street , I become day dreamer & I lose myself in the most wonderful & painful things happened in my life. Memories – This word is connected to almost everything in our life. Every little thing we do becomes either a sweet or sour but memory.








Today I wanna share some unforgettable memories of my life & they are revolving around only two but significant words i.e. Love & Friendship. I miss my school time which I enjoyed but still have regrets that I could have enjoyed it better than that if I would be like this in my school days.I was kinda shy & reserved guy. Same went with my college days. Had crush on many girls but never expressed verbally. I remember a girl from F.Y.J.C ( sry folks , I wont take her name ) and all the crazy things I did for her. I still dunno was it a crush or infatuation or love but I cherish it because that was something which made me happy, which made me feel “Pehla Nasha” song & its lyrics, which became reason to enjoy the every season, a reason to love college & also a reason for my 98 % attendance in classes which reflected in my mark sheet back then. I still feel winter bloom & specially November which is most beautiful month of the year for me as this was the time when I used to catch a glimpse of her in early morning classes.I used to reach half and hour early to the college only to catch her glance. Winter morning breeze, “ Tere Bina “ from Adnan , A White Dress with some colorful dupatta , A sweet but innocent smile makes me forget everything & makes me fall in love with that time. I grin when I recollect all those stupid things I did for her, like remembering her scooty’s number ( I was really an idiot ), remembering her every answer given in the class room, 2 to 3 conversations which I had with her in 2 years ( I have prepared my dialogues’ as if its my audition for Bhansali’s movie ) , many coincidences down the road ( which gave strength to the belief that , YES it is the thing called LOVE lolz ), some breathtaking smiles from her ( wrongly considering that, they were specially for me) and so on.. It was a hard time folks cuz mobiles were not that cheap & couldn’t be seen everywhere. No SMS Chats. No social networking sites like FB or Orkut. No way to tweet my feelings. Only some friends knew and I think even she did. Cuz as far as I know girls always know who is following them but they never show. Huh!!! Those 2 years went like Diwali Vacations leaving behind memories which I still remember and cherish. After that as wagon wheel rolls on, my life also went ahead with some new attachments, infatuations & crushes (which almost crushed me at times) but I don’t remember them in the same way I can recollect this one.It was and still it is one of the most memorable chapter of my life.May be because this was the very first feeling of mine, something that has happened first time in my teenage & something that’s even not being with me makes me feel happy as well as sad at the same time.








While writing this blog, expressions on my face are changing every now and then, am I blushing or am I smiling? I don’t know. I really don’t know was it a love or was it a crush? But whatever it was, it was the most ravishing & unforgettable time of my life.

This was Heart throbbing:

                                                   It was Friday, October 1, 2010. I left home, took the rick and reached Mira Road station well before my train arrives. I was standing on an over-bridge. My eyes were fixed on all the arriving and departing trains. I was waiting for my trains’ announcement. Music was on the move and I was engrossed in the song as usual. Suddenly the sound of blast came from behind and that too twice. No, it wasn’t the bomb but people started running here and there, everything was scattered, trains started getting empty and rumors started spreading like fire in the jungle. It was the second day after most controversial Ayodhya Verdict and fear of riots was not totally faded yet. One of the rumors was – there is a blast in the train and this is done by terrorists and all. But no, the sound was from one of the overhead wires which run on 25000 volts, as usual, a 20-25 year old guy was doing his action stunts as he does regularly on the train roofs. I used to watch him doing those risky stuffs everyday. But this was something I have witnessed first time in my life. This was the doomsday for him as he had not performed the same way as he did all the previous days. He was banged on the overhead wires and was burnt with the electric shock on the spot just above the ladies compartment. Train stopped on the spot and he was craving for life on the train roof. His belt, denim, shirt, everything was burning. His skin had turned pale black. And I was with the mixed-reactions, was confused in the rush of people, and was deciding either to run away with all of them or to go ahead with what my heart was asking me. Somehow, I gathered the strength to click some pictures. Whole day the same pics were distracting my mind, compelling me to think over it , what would be life of his family after him ? This was the first time I have seen something like this.

“PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL ON TRAIN ROOF TOPS” This is the request I would like to make. Below are the pictures showing the same. May his soul Rest In Peace. 

A Memorable Morning

It was a typical steady fast Mumbai morning and I was already into heavy traffic, uneven rain, and unavoidable pollution n other Mumbai hassles. Same monotonous life, my brother-in-law dropped me at Borivali station from where I had to catch a train to reach my destination. You know in Mumbai you can’t reach particular destination without taking help of almost all the transportation vehicles and moreover still reaching late. Train arrived; I stepped in, was standing at the door and waiting for it to depart. There was same old story going on the platform – some wrong announcements, a guy screeching on loudspeaker which everybody was trying to understand , people running here & there in order to catch the train, some bhelwala bhaiyyas , wrong indicators , some strangers enquiring about addresses & stations where they want to get down and of course some good looking girls. I was still trying to settle up things, was completely drenched, music was on full volume as usual and was observing all these things with lots of thoughts to mull over. Now it’s natural that our gaze always stops where either something is very ravishing or dreadful. That day my eyes got fixed on a charismatic girl who was totally baffled up , I can see her walking fast from far in order to catch the same train , she was sweet and having an innocent look. She came closer to the platform and got into some ladies compartments leaving my stupid heart with lots of thoughts to ponder. Train departed. I can hear the sound of my heartbeats not because she was beautiful or something else but because I’ve seen something which kept me numb for that day. That image was repetitively throbbing my heart & asking only one question that Why? How? How can god be so harsh? And I did not have any answer for that apart from a frozen look. She was physically challenged. She did not have one hand. Even after having all the best attributes, she was still missing something but at the same time, it was not at all reflecting in her eyes. I think this is what people call spirit of Mumbai!!

This was one of best life’s practical examples for me and for you also folks. We always say, I wish I could have this and that and all that crap but remember at least we have something for which other people crave for. We all are god’s special child. So, always be content with whatever, however you have and cherish this mesmerizing gift of god which we human define as LIFE!! :-)
