இரண்டாயிரத்து ஆறாம் ஆண்டில் ஒரு அழகான நாள்...
பத்தாம் வகுப்பு தேறிவிட்டு அடுத்து என்ன படிக்கலாம் என திட்டமிட்டுக்கொண்டிருந்த வேளை...வாழ்க்கை மிகவும் அழகாக இருந்தது...கணிப்போறி என்றால் என்ன என்றே சரியாக தெரியாமல் இருந்த நாட்கள்...மொபைல் போன்களைப்பற்றி கேள்விப்பட்டிருந்தேன்...யாராவது வைத்திருந்தால் என்னமோ உலக அதிசயம் போல பார்த்த நாட்கள்...

வாழ்வின் எளிமையான நாட்கள் அது...கணிப்பொறி அறிவியல் தவிர வேறு எது வேணா படிக்க தயார் என எண்ணி இருந்த நாட்கள்...நீல வானத்தையும் அதில் மின்னும் பல கோடி நட்சத்திரங்களையும் பார்த்தபடி கழித்த நாட்கள்...முடிவிலா பெரு வெளியையும் அதன் அளவறிய முடியா பிரம்மாண்டமான நிலையையும் நினைத்து ஆச்சர்யப்பட்டு அமர்ந்திருந்த நாட்கள்....எவ்வளவு நேரம் பார்க்கிறேன் என எனக்கே தெரியாமல் அமர்ந்து பார்த்துக்கொண்டே இருந்த நாட்கள்...பலநாட்கள் அந்த பிரம்மாண்டமான பேரண்டத்தையும்...அதில் மின்னும் நட்சத்திரக்கூட்டங்களையும் கண்டு வியந்திருக்கிறேன்...

எங்கள் வீட்டில் டிவி இல்லை...எங்கள் ஊரில் சினிமா தியேட்டர் கிடையாது...எனக்கு தெரிந்தவரையில் அப்போது யாரிடமும் மொபைல் போனே கிடையாது ...எந்த முகப்புத்தகமும் கிடையாது...வாட்ஸ்அப் அதில் ஒரு லாஸ்ட் சீன் என எதுவுமே கிடையாது என்னிடம்... .ஆனால் என்வாழ்க்கை மிக அற்புதமாயிருந்தது...எனக்கு உலக நடப்புகள் உடனுக்குடன் தெரியாது...யார் நினைத்தாலும் உடனே தொடர்பு கொள்ள முடியாது...ஆனால் நான் இந்த உலகுடன் வாழ்ந்தேன்..என்னுடன் இருப்பவர்களுடன் வாழ்ந்தேன்...இந்த இயற்கையுடன் வளர்ந்தேன்....

நினைத்துப்பார்க்கையில் தெரிகிறது...என்ன இழந்துவிட்டேன் என்று....மாத வீட்டு வருமானம் ஆயிரத்து ஐநூறு...மாளிகை சாமானுக்கு அறுநூற்று ஐம்பது வரை...பால் மற்றும் தயிருக்கு 200 ரூபாய்...என திட்டமிட்டு வாழ்ந்த வாழ்க்கை அப்போது...இன்று ஒரு நாள் வருமானமே ஆயிரத்தை தாண்டினாலும் அன்று இருந்த அந்த மகிழ்ச்சி இங்கு இல்லை என்பதே நிதர்சனம்...நினைத்துப்பார்க்கிறேன்....கடைசியாக இந்த பிரம்மாண்டமான நீல வான் வெளியையும் அந்த அழகான நட்சத்திரங்களையும் ரசித்தது எப்போது என...எனக்கே நினைவில் இல்லை...வானத்தை அண்ணாந்து பார்க்கவே நேரமில்லாமல் ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்...என்? சந்தோஷமாக இருக்க தான்..ஆனால் என்ன சந்தோஷமோ தெரியவில்லை...

என் வாழ்க்கையில் பாதிநேரம் கையில் இருக்கும் 5 இன்ச் அகல திரையை பார்க்கவே நேரம் போதவில்லை பின் எப்படி அந்த ஆயிரமாயிரம் அடி அகல திரையை பார்க்க நேரம் கிடைக்கும்...அந்த நீல வானத்தையும் அதில் சொகுசாக மெல்ல மெல்ல அசைந்து போகும் வெள்ளை மேகத்தையும் பார்க்க ஏது நேரம்..யார் என்ன புரோபைல் வைச்சிருக்கங்கனு பாக்க தானே நேரம் இருக்கு எனக்கு....அந்தி மாலை நேரத்தில் பல வண்ண நிற ஜாலங்களை காட்டியடி தினமும் மறையும் சூரியன்...இப்படி தினமும் நடக்கிறது அதிசயம்...அதையெல்லாம் யாருய்யா பாத்துகிட்டு இருப்பாங்க....எங்கயாவது சன்செட் பாயிண்டுக்கு போனமா...அங்க போயும் சூரியன பாக்காம ரெண்டு போட்டோவ எடுத்தோமா அத முகப்புத்தகத்துல போட்டு லைக்ஸ் வாங்குனமானு இருக்கனும்டா இவன் என்ன சூரிய அஸ்தமனத்த பாரு அதிசயம் அது இதுனு உளரீட்டு இருக்கான்...ஆமங்க உங்க மைன்ட் வாஸ்ஸேதான்..ஏன் என்னோட இன்னூரு மைன்ட் வாய்ஸ்உம்தான்....

சின்ன சின்ன விசயங்களும் அதிசயம் தான்...நான் ஒரு அதிசயம் நீங்கள் ஒரு அதிசயம்...இந்த பூமியில் வந்து பிறப்பதற்கு ஒன்னுல நாற்பதாயிரம் கோடி பங்கு வாய்ப்புதான் இருக்குது....இப்போ இதை நீங்க படிச்சிட்டு இருந்தீங்கன்னா...நீங்க அந்த ஒன்னுல நாற்பதாயிரம் கோடி பங்குல உருவான ஒரு அற்புதமான பிறவி...

சரி சொல்ல வந்த விசயத்தையே விட்டுட்டு என்னன்னலாமோ சொல்லீட்டே பொறேன் பாருங்க...

2006 ல ஒரு இயந்திரப்பறவை அந்த அண்ட வெளில பறக்க ஆரம்பிச்சுது...இன்னிக்கு 9 வருடம் கழிச்சு 2015 ல.. 200 கோடிக்கும் மேலான கிலோமீட்டர் தாண்டி புளூட்டோவை நெருங்கி ஒரு போட்டோ எடுத்து அனுப்பி விட்ருச்சி...அதுதாங்க செய்தி...!!

வாழ்க்கை அற்புதமானது :)
வாருங்கள் வாழ்வோம் :)

Importance of the Leader in you..!

There is a running race..Everybody is set to run..there are hundreds of people gathered to cheer for the runners.

Running race begins, its marathon race. So everybody has to cross long distance..

jack is one of the runner who started running faster than any other in the race..in 30 minutes he could not see anyone running beside him so he becomes very happy to be the first and started running faster and faster...

after two hours he realised the endpoint still hasn't come..He don't have anyone to check since he ran out of the town and got into the jungle..so with no one to guide,

he further started to run, having hope that the end will be there..

After one more hour, he realised that's not the track he supposes to run..the race has finished by the time he reached the actual end point of the race.



The jack is none other than us, Who sometimes started running faster and faster in life's race without realising the goal for us..There is a difference between a leader and a manager..if we are doing something managing that can help us do that same thing better..But the leadership is something will question whether is it necessary to do that thing first of all?

We all have a leader in us..sometimes the leader simply taking orders from others who become leaders..Friends..relatives..parents..society..or our education...it just dictate us what needs to be done..Without questioning that we will keep doing the same thing till the end arrives.



Recently I happen to read a book called "7 habits of highly effective people" It talked about the reverse thinking of what people will talk in our funeral..and let me think..when I'm in my death bed what would be regret if i have any...Of course i won't be worried about the mail i missed to send to my super viser about the new code change in my program :P.. or the work that i haven't completed or the education i hadnt had...im sure,  If at all i regret, I would regret that i would have roamed more cities and did something adventurous life and loved more people..left any ego that i had etc etc...Doesn't mean what im working in an office is not useful.But its just a stepping stone for the larger goal what we should reach for ourself..what we believe in..what makes us more happy and contented..But involvement in the current job gives me more happiness and immediate satisfaction of accomplishing something...But i should remember this is momentary and i should always progress about the larger goal..which is personal life and happiness..learning music..enjoying the evening sun..just a rain..There are lots of things needs to be explored in this world.

It's our responsibility to think whats important for us and think constantly that whatever we are doing currently will it matter after 5 years? This will give us some idea what we should be moving on further..Freedom to do anything is more powerful than the luxury trapped life..Because the power of this life is we can evolve by our mind and try different things in our life..To do that we should not get trapped by much traps that we put in by ourself..Why am i writting all these things? this is kind of reminder to me to follow what i love...not to be trapped by the socity's game..But to play the game of socity without becoming a victim of future to regret...

Books are the very good source of thinking differently and making ourself to visit a new world without imagination..and perspective..currently im testing the skills i learned in real life..Learning is always beautiful isn't?

Find the leader in you..! :)

Mind Game | Purpose of Life | Weak days of my life

After a short trip to leh, I'm writing this..moreover writing something after long time..This is not how i feel after a brief trip...I feel completely not wanting to do anything at all..Just bunked office just by telling some stupid reason and writing this blog..Not sure if any of my office colleagues following this blog may be brings me trouble..but as usual i'm ready to take anything even if its getting fired..

Life gives us lots of moments to live..Its not limited to one possibility its multiple ways. you can get to choose your own destiny..really no one can bother you on the way of it..But why i'm being smashed with this much thoughts rolling in my mind not able to concentrate on anything and being depressed on nothing and not wanting to do anything?



Is it because i don't like to do anything? will this be solved if i give some time? or this is correct way of making some changes in life which i never faced? with all confusions rolling on..still thinking about that..

being depressed is one of the things which often happen to people like me who is introvert and not being with people all the time..but always enjoyed with own actions and doing different things in life..

ok coming to present time..Am i doing what i like to do? how long i can cheat myself saying with the answer yes? may be i have always having a idea of making me believe i love what i do agenda? or im afraid of losing the money which im making through this profession? What is it bothering me? or it is the emptiness of life which makes me go mad about this stage of life? Really have no idea about these things..

But things are not good certainly not sure what to do and how to bring back..

while tying this blog got a call from an unknown saying "i saw your big data videos on YouTube, Im seeing alliance for my sister and one of the guy mentioned he is working in bigdata so wanted to check whether bigdata has future?" How do i answer? Anything in the existence is not stable. anything may happen at anytime and you might lose anything..but as a human mind we always try to look for conformity...

What i'm afraid of ? am i afraid of taking firm decisions? or afraid of breaking the rules and the fake reputation i have created among relatives and friends by acting normal..

i guess both..I'm not what anyone thinks i'm..its difficult to explain since even i don't know who i am..may be i'm just a coward who don't do necessary actions to live by his heart..or a coward who just thinks and leaves.

may be it might changed a bit now...but this is the beginning...i need to lead this to a new beginning..

because in this unpredictable life we cant just be depressed..!!

I know i will be back from this chapter soon with much more energy..but just passing this time on..

The Magical Tour To Remember.!

When i'm travelling in a train at night sitting near window seat...while the train running through the villages where i can see the beautiful stars in the sky..my thoughts runs on..this blog is about such a travel which i had recently...

It is inevitable that after every travel a part of you will change..! Your thoughts will change..!
sometimes your entire world will change...Whenever i'm running towards life's flow i always ask myself a question "Am i doing what i really want to do?" I never had a constant answer for this question. So to find the answer i have started to travel...in such a chain of travel stories..this one is about the mystery land with powerful god "Rishikesh".



Having no expectations but just to see the north india alone turned out to be the massively confidence building travel with magical moments in life..

Its all started with seeing "Ganga" The holy river for the first time..The stories that i have been heard about the ganga make me jump in joy that i'm going to see it for the first time. After taken a room in haridwar in a pleasant evening  when the sun has started spreading its beautiful  golden flares around the earth..






I walked in to the "Ma ganga" From somewhere long distance i can hear the beautiful song..
'Jai ganga mathaaa....ommm jai ganga maathaa....'where i stopped walking and just forgot the everything but the mesmerizing music and the voice or the song...After some time of walking i can see the most powerful river running very silently...But the force it is running is really amazing...i was little afraid to step in..But i had to take a holy dip to make my past sin count to zero :P 










After that the magical moment of "Ganga Arti" where the people worship ganga by showing arti which is a daily event and very famous..it was strange that i was walking pointlessly somewhere then i have found the place where the arti is going to take place..i really think it is some power which wanted me to see the aarti because i was waiting in a wrong place for an hour then i dont know why i started moving but suddenly i started walking then reached that place...

Then by 7 Pm aarti begins...Again.

"Jai gangee maaathaaa.....ommm jai gangee mathaaa...."




This time the song literally put me in to different world while the hundreds of diya's which reflected by the ganga which made the moment very very magical..aarti was finished in 15 mins..it took me entire night spending and feeling about the aarti and my thoughts starts wandering around that beautiful moments..here's what i was thinking..

 "Wow! what a ritual..where nature has been treated as god..Fire,water,earth,air,sky everything at a same place with the music it made the pure bliss..when you are in love with the nature it is actually got to give you whatever you wish for.." As a firm believer of universal law "If you think good only good will happen" It was such a memorable experience in my life which made me more close to the ganga and himalayas..

Next day i went to rishikesh "Adventure capital of india" First adventure in my list was to do the 83 meter jump called "Bungee jump"

I was thinking myself as a strong minded who doesn't get scared easily. But this experience showed me who i am really. waiting in the line we were attacked by hundreds of bees..At that height you should do literally nothing when you are attacked by bees.Worth lesson learned..




Then the final minutes before jump..I wasn't really scared till that time but at the second i was put at the edge of the pillar and when you start looking down..There is nothing till 83 meters 

"Standing at the place mind was telling what if only your rope is loosen and make an accident? And all accidents i have ever seen came through my eyes"

In few second a ball started rolling in my stomach..heart rate increased..while mind is taking quick decisions..Suggesting me lets go back really that second i cant describe more..thinking of that making goosebumps even now..but putting all mind's blabbering aside and just let myself fall in to the biiiiiggggg falll...Zooooommm.....! In a second it was wonderful experience and i made sure i'm not yet dead!  

It was really a confidence building experience where i was faced with big fear of being death and hell lots of doubts about the equipments..you have to believe in your guts to jump and faith in something (May be the organizers :P)

It was really next wonderful experience worth life time..Here's the video of the jump..



The same day evening i was sitting in ganga's lap which was an another mesmerizing experience..I always felt some connection with me and nature..i love to cry in rain..I always believe whenever im sad rain will come to make me feel good and 80% of time it happened in my life (Or may be my saddest part of life happened in monsoon :P) Its another wonderful evening near ganga..

Next day we went to near by trek where i met new friend abhishek who gave me new insights of life from his experience..It is always wonderful how quickly two nature lovers or like minded people get to know each others..We went to the trek for three hours it was really good time to learn things.since he roamed a lot there he gave me some some very good advice and restaurant to try.. 





The same day next adventure starts which was the 
"The river Rafting" on abhishek advice i have opted for 24 km ride..which turned out to be one more best experience..





Its about team work in the hands of ganga our raft was started going..whenever the river take a turn that's where you face challenges and challenges are fun.. Wow! its a life lesson i learned in the river rafting whenever the raft is going in the smooth water we have no fun but when the rapid comes and hits us with its powerful wave and even tried to being the raft upside down..thats where the fun lies..! Its turned out to be another lesson "If you have no challenge you wont have any happiness" So keep challenging yourself to be happy. It is ok to fail but it is not ok to not to try..!




You can see the videos here.






with these lessons and a bit hand pain of rafting that day ends with another beautiful evening in freedom cafe.



The next day i have started back to mumbai..But a part of me is still there in the lap of ganga ma.. and i can hear the song still now in my mind.."Jai gangee mathaaa....ommm jai gangee mathaaa.."

Some random pics of Zostel,








Love nature you have a bright future :)

Himalaya's on Gears

How do you feel when you are going to the road almost all the kids you see are waving their hand on seeing you with the innocent cute smile..

How do you feel when the people are seeing you like a hero when you cross them on road..

How do you feel when the people you never know are taking your interview about your experience whenever you stop by..

How do you feel when you started hearing the beautiful birds singing alone the travel and you are completely free from all vehicles and machine noise..

Finally how do you feel when you take a mission at 29000 feet which you thought is beyond your capacity but you achieved it with your hard work..

I'm Pretty sure you will obviously feel amazing..



such a experience i got while cycling through the beautiful mountains of himalayas. I always ask myself  'What is life?' At different times life gave me different answers...these days at living in the mountains gave me one different life lesson..Let me share that with you..

The mission is to cycle 90+ kilometre in three days at 30000 feet height mountains...

At the first day it was really really hard my entire energy was not enough to complete the first day target...my lungs were almost came out of my body for breathing, but somehow i was able to complete the day's targeted distance which was 18km..after cycling many of them got back pain foot pain head ache...to be true we don't believe we can able to finish the next day target 34 kilometers..more than feeling of happy about the first day's completion we were in a fear of  how tomorrow is going to be...





As earth never stops revolving for anyone the tomorrow came at exact time (14-10-2015)9.30 we have started with the cycling..to be true i was thinking how today is gonna be..but at that time i don't know that experience is gonna be my best day of my life...

After crossing some 7 kilometers i was cycling aloe as different people are going in different speed..i stopped to drink some water...suddenly i was able to see there was a school..some kids are smiling at me and waving their hands towards me...WOW..!! The moment was....

The morning sun rays was falling on that place through the mountain peaks..The green trees are reflecting the sunlight with the snow which was stored on their leaves yesterday night...it was like the trees are smiling at the sun rise...and the river in the left side with pure water flowing and making nice music of the nature...with white rocks reflecting the sun rays...and the kids wearing the red color uniform smiling and waving their hands at you and saying "ba bayy" wow...What a beautiful day to start with :) :) :)




I stayed in that place for some time to enjoy the moment the school prayer started they sung some beautiful songs then slowly i crossed the place with complete happiness...when you are happy you tend to do more work than you usually do..same thing happened there also..i cycled more time and the uphill started..i crossed another 10 kilometer then there come across the bridge above the river...

The place was like the side of the mountains was craved to give the place for the road...it was like you are cycling through a half cave..you can see many such places in himalayas...After taking some selfi's i was eating some yummy apples which my friends plugged from the trees yesterday...It was so yummy and juicy...After crossing the place i was entering in to solan vally uphill..


Which was almost free from traffic and the place was surrounded by mountain peaks at each uphill we are gaining more height if we fall from the edge even fevi quick cant fix us back :P but the view was awesome..it reminded me...at sometimes we need to get out of comfort zone to find some beautiful things of life...

After some more travel on the beautiful road i reached solan vally..I have joined with my friends who had already reached there before me..At the time climate was started to change..The temperature started reducing ...We could see the snow fall was there in mountain..I'm seeing the snow fall for the first time in my life..it was like....



The chilliness in the air i breath went through my lungs and transferred it to my head...I can feel the blood started running through my veins with chilliness..in some time my entire body from head to feet became soooooo chill...it was sooo coooolll!! after some time my hands and legs started shivering automatically...wow another awesome experience :) by the time the mountain has fully covered with snow...the purest white snow and the rocks black color in some places surrounded with tall green trees...gave a perfect visual treat..it was like we can stand there and see it for hours and hours...After completing the lunch there we started down hill through offroad..

While starting the little rain droplets started pouring on us from sky...it was like somebody is ouring fridge water on you...by te time rain started hravely..the water was so chill out fingers are unable to even change grears...while on the way we crossed apple trees and got some for free :P On the rainey roadswe were very careful to ride the cycle and reached the base back...the same day we got many different experience snow rain and sunny...it was the best experience i ever got..by the second day ended after leaving some memory which going to be everlasting in my life..

The mission is half completed only one day to go..!! 38 kilometers today it was a sunny day...we started by 9.30 from the base...Today the magic happened like in 'avatar' what ever the rider feel the dragon will understand...today we started understanding our cycle...we have no confusion in changing gears..it was automatically happened it was another good feeling..



while going many kids were smiling and waving their hands :) I understand the power of smile that can bring us...it actually gives power,confidence & happiness..when i was cycling on the villages with helmet & gloves many villagers used to look at me when i smile & say hi they also smile ..It is nothing harm..But i actually learned through my experience something worth wile for life.when i was in delhi on the small tour..the guide was telling 'when some people smiling at you and talking be cautious' they might rob you...i was thinking the power of smile is being used for some wrong intentions..but they know the secret..that thought took me how many times i had smiled at strangers..i was shy or afraid what if they did not smile...but it is ok with no expectation something should be done..



Then we have reached the place called 'Art Gallery' at the mountains..it has all the paintings of himalaya's by nicholas..since we have seen those mountains in ral by seeing the paintings we are actually able to merge both experience and enjoy the painting...this is the first time i ever enjoyed the painting..I was thinking where would he be sitting and draw those paintings..and how beautiful the environment was at that time..Sometimes its so good to fall in our own imagination world...I realised enjoying a painting is actually depending on our own imagination...It opens your imagination to discover new things about the painting...it was like a time travel for me at that art gallery...then we started down hill after the final day experience...



We all came back in 2 to 3 hours in last day almost 17 kilometers...after that i was thinking nothing is difficult..! with proper logic and aim anything can be achieved...!! and its our mind which has to be changed & challenged..!!



By this travelling i come across some interesting people too..one girl was from taiwan she came alone to himalaya's and obviously she dont know hindi..I was inspired by meeting such a travers...and one  friend was beautifully drawing the travel experience in the dairy...i was privileged to see that..one guy came to the adventure against his family & relatives...i was surprised to see a person like him...and a group of friends...who made the entire trips so fun and entertaining..like these i meet many interesting people in each of my travel..



I learned everyone is good..everyone is ready to talk...its like who starts first makes the difference.Be the first..!!

Our interest of travel starts when we seek the window seat when by the time we were kids...aspire to travel is in our soul...its the best food for this life time...!!

Lets keep moving..!

I dedicate this blog to my friend shraddha who the is main reason for my dream trip to himalayas..!

வாழ்க்கையும் நாமும்....

இந்த வாழ்க்கையில் நாம் அனைவருமே ஏதோ ஒரு சமையத்தில் கெட்டவனாக இருந்திருக்கிறோம்...

அது காதலால் இருக்கலாம்..பணமாக இருக்கலாம்.. நம் சந்தோஷமாக இருக்கலாம்...எதுவாக இருந்தாலும் நம் அனைவருக்குமே இரண்டாவது பக்கம் இருக்கிறது...அந்த பக்கம் பொதுவாக எல்லொருக்கும் தெரிவது இல்லை... இந்த வாழ்வில் நல்லது கெட்டது என நாம் அறிவது நம்மைச்சுற்றி உள்ளவைகள்தான்...

இந்தியாவில் ஒரு பெண் 18 வயதில் திருமணத்துக்கு முன் உடலுறவு கொண்டால் அது தவறு.. அதுவே அமெரிக்காவில் 18 வயதில் அது அனுமதிக்கப்படுகிறது...எனவே எது தவறு எது சரி?

இந்திய படைவீரர் ஒரு பாக்கிஸ்தான் படைவீரரை சுட்டு வீழ்த்துகிறார்.. அவர் இந்திய படைக்கு திரும்பி வந்தால் அவருக்கு பாராட்டும் கவுரவமும் கிடைக்கும்...அதுவே பாக்கிஸ்தான் ராணுவத்தில் மாட்டினால்? அவ்வளவுதான்..எனவே எது தவறு எது சரி என பார்ப்பது எப்போதுமே ஒரு மாயையாகவே இருக்கிறது...

அப்படியானால் சூழ்நிலைகள்தான் ஒரு விடயத்தை நல்லது கெட்டது என பிரித்து அறிய வைக்கிறதா? இருக்கலாம்...
நம்வாழ்வில் நாம் எவ்வளவோ கற்றுக்கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்...இன்னும் கற்றுக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறோம்...
சமூகததில் பேச பயப்படும் விடயங்கள்...பேசாத விடயங்கள் அனைத்தையும் பேசப்போகிறேன்..இது என் டைரி...

என்வாழ்க்கை...என் நினைவுகள்..என் கோணங்கள்....இது முழுக்க என் எண்ணங்கள் தான்....
