Aaaah!! How beautiful it is when I wake up early and see our localities boy going to school. Last day I was passing by one of the Govt school in Patna when my eye sight was caught on a little boy who was standing with a Tiffin box and his Mumma was coaxing him and promising to give aalu- paratha next day. haha!! How the life changes, priority changes!!

Anyways, the shrill of the lunch break still rings in my mind. Counting seconds to the lunch break and then when the bell goes, the school erupts! Aaah!!! such was the day! One or two lunch box and 7 hungry tigers were there….!!! I remember that i rarely brought my tiffin box with me during my schooling days as i was among those 1 hungry tigers who prey on others tiffin box. Haha!! In spite of anticipating what my mother gave me in my luch box, i find happiness in what my friends Mumma's had packed in my friend's lunch box?

 Remember that one teacher who brightened up your day , you waiting for her lectures, paying dire attention and liking the subject because of her? You remember that one teacher whom you secretly hated because you felt the feelings are pretty mutual? Remember the punishments ( which made you red )? Remember innocence? And then the pretty fights over who will sit where…the long "good morninnng teacher" ..ah! the bliss of childhood! Once in a while we all need a reminder of things we take for granted.Whether it’s valuing mumma’s food cooked with love, or the magic of childhood unity and friendship.

Get back to the magic of life, get back to the childhood memories, I bet you will be smitten by the childhood memories. You will get into the ecstasy world, the world where you were nurtured, where you learnt the first lesson, you will realize how beautiful life was with a bag on the back, without tension and with full attention how we used to go to school….!





Just delve yourself into the childhood memories and unearth those beautiiiiiiiful days, it's like a magic, magic of nostalgia......!!!!

था में नींद में और मुझे सजाया जा रहा था...

था में नींद में और मुझे प्यार से नहलाया जा रहा था...
ना जाने वो कौन सा अजीब खेल खेला जा रहा था....
मेरे घर में बच्चो की तरह मुझे कंधो पे उठाया जा रहा था !!!!!!!!!

था मे वही पास में हर अपनों के बीच........
तब भी में हर अपनों के बीच पुकारा जा रहा था !
जो कभी देखते  भी नहीं थे मुझको पूरी निगाहो से। ....
उनकी आखो में भी मेरे लये प्यार लुटाया जा रहा था !!

मालूम नहीं क्यों सब हैरान थे मुझे सोते हुए देख कर...
जोर जोर से रो रो कर मुझे जगाया जा रहा था !!!
फिर काँप उठी मेरी रूह वो मंजर देख कर
जब अपनों के हाथो में जलाया जा रहा था.....

तोर कर सब्र का बांध रो परी मेरी रूह.. . .
वो जगह देखकर जहा मुझे हमेसा के लिए सुलाया जा रहा था !!!
मोहब्बत की इम्तेहाह थी जिन दिलो में मेरे लिए
उन्ही दिलो में से में धीरे धीरे भुलाया जा रहा था !!

उठ सकता था में उस पल, पर सोचा।।।।।
में उठु किसके लिए ?
इस दुनिया ने मुझे दर्द सिवाए दिया ही क्या ?
जो रुक जाऊ इनके लिए ?

उस पल न तो रुकने का दिल था न ही इस बेमन दुनिया को छोर कर जाने का गम था। .....
बल्कि में खुश था। ....
इस नफरत भरी दुनिया को छोर कर में खुसिया पाने जन्नत जा रहा हु !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially molded by whom we are with, we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others......!!

-The Art of Travel

land slide near Zorthang 

Thoughts of Sikkim always portrayed images of monks and monasteries, beautiful glaciers and a clean city without any traces of pollution. It was in May when i decided to go solo in my travelling quest and to find the purpose of my life. I still remember it was searing summer in Patna when I checked for the tickets to Siliguri from Mithapur Bus Stand (In Patna) in May 2017. I checked the gears of my DSLR and was set to go on the adventure of solo travelling.

I decided to go Yuksom, a small hill-lock village in West Sikkim, and started my journey to Zorthang from Siliguri. It was drizzling outside and music was set to volume 8 on my iphone. Unfortunately i never reached to Zorthang. 1 km before Zorthang i met with land slides. Plans to stay in West Sikkim was no more on my list. As someone has rightly said; "Plans have a way of changing themselves, so they do". Some connections are just meant to be like me with adventures. Thankfully Gangtok helped me to heal both physically and mentally. It was a tiring journey of 7 hours from Siliguri to Zorthang and then to Gangtok.

First thought after reaching to Gangtok was the city's cleanliness. People's life style and the calmness that the city caries within. I was feeling refreshed, rebooted and i felt a new vibrant energy within. I checked with few of my budget hotels and got the one near MG Marg.

MG Marg

Checking further to the cities best places i sorted out to spend few hours to Rumtek Monasteries & Tsomgo Lake and Baba Harbhajan Singh shrine the next day.

Travelling solo gives you an opportunity to look within you. What you want in your life? Are you happy within or is there any conflicts within? you will get the answer if you spend few days alone in solitude in the majestic hills of Himalayas. I got mine.

Travelling to the new lands and seeing through new eyes is what i found gives me inner peace.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself"

-George Bernard Shaw

We all are born with a purpose. A purpose which we always keep on finding for and keep on seeking the divine guidance when we feel we are down. Have you ever thought what it is that brings misery and sorrow in one's life? what it is that brings happiness and success?

Being a student from science background we need to understand every prospect associated with human sufferings in a scientific and logical way. We humans have been gifted with a strong biological computer, the power of which we still are unaware. We even don't know how powerful our biological computer is which only weight 3 pounds and are made up of 75% of water and 100 billion neurons. A human body have three main parts- a brain, a heart and a nervous system. All three must work in synchronization for a better living.

Every action of ours is triggered by thoughts which arises in our mind. The compassion to life a blissful life, the carnal desire, the love for wealth all are the acoustics of a single thought which comes in our mind. Whatever thoughts we possess in our mind is being answered by GOD in the form of dreams, manifestation, friends, behaviors. Nature always keep on communicating with us every moment. Only we need to understand the message of the nature at every moment of our life.

If we find ourselves in the state of despair, it's only because we have a conflict thoughts in our mind. We were at one point of time say one things and at the other time we say diametrically opposite point and hence our own thought creates a chaos situation of waves which gets transmitted and a conflicting situation arises in our life and is manifested in the form of sufferings.

When we are sad, several images comes in our mind which makes us realize that we are sad. We keep on connecting the past from the bad experience and keep on getting trapped in the labyrinth of emotions and keep on increasing our stress level. To avoid such a situation we need to understand the thought pattern. we must realize that a single negative thought will attract a thousand negative thoughts and then those negative thoughts will only keep manifesting in our life in the form of sufferings and physical ailments.

On concluding note, i would like to pen down "We must keep a positive outlook towards every situation". We must keep a vigil on every single thoughts that arises in our mind.

Book name: Let the power be with you
Author Name: Shivi Dua

This book comes with a title of healing/self-help. If you are suffering from stress, broken relationship, family problems, carrier problem and you are looking for the possible solution in overcoming all these, this book might be one of the rescue point for you.

In this book, author has paraphrased that "whatever is happening with us is because we want to let it happen with us". Is this true? At the beginning of the text i was bemused to know that "we are only responsible for our sufferings" but when i got pinched with each pages the clarity of the statement was clearly visible. Yes it is true!!

"Recognizing and resolving our inner conflicts is what will bring peace inside us naturally"

According to Shivi "It is our thought process or our thoughts which is responsible for our sufferings in life". At one instance when we start looking for something we send a packet of thoughts to Universe which is a great receptor. We can understand this statement like our mind is a transmitter and Universe, a receptor. Whatever we will transmit will come back to us in the physical form and will manifest in our life. Each one of us is a powerhouse of energy and each thoughts that emanates from us is a power packets. If there is a conflict in our thoughts then we will have a conflicting situation in front of us in our physical life.

Whole text in the book revolves at a central idea of thoughts and inner conflicts. The language used in this book is lucid and one can easily understand the text. Few lines that i loved and added to my lexicon are:

Whatever has been done, had been done. What can be achieved through blame and guilt, other than creating negative energy in ourselves and our lives? There is nothing better than accepting whatever has happened as a part of living our own karma. Watching our karma from the current moment onwards is what can help dispel all negativity from our lives. 

I recommend this book to those who want to take first step in healing their mind, body and soul.
