Re-connected!

Recently I got in touch with all my school friends and junior college friends.It just happened with no reason to get connected at all.I was just sitting idle and thinking about them when all of a sudden I thought why not try and contact them.I had no idea about there whereabouts as I had lost them completely.I started off with the usual "ORKUT",to my great disappointment I didn't find anybody there,well I didn't remember their full names,my fault actually.
I sent a few messages to one of my common friends and lo! I found almost all my friends instantly.I was very happy about my lady luck shining so unexpectedly but now came the time of apprehension.I was thinking about how to strike a chord again!Eventually I called one of them and to my great surprise that person remembered me.One call and we were back on the same track we left long back.The others followed.
I don't know whether this was sheer luck or something else that made this happen.But one thing is for sure,we are very lucky to have born in this age of technological boom where people are just a call or a mail away!We just have to think about it and the next moment it all seems so very possible to get connected or re-connected!
Thanks to everything that has contributed to this reunion!

Trekking-A dream worth hunting!

I was introduced to this world of adventure through a friend.He was already into a trekking group-Youngsterz.I went to the most simplest trek which is to Lohagad in June 2007,I loved it but since it was the first time I was more into observing and absorbing things in and around Lohagad.I can't say I enjoyed that trip exactly but I learnt that if one gets passionate about this sport it can wok wonders to one's mind, body n soul.Well all the philosophy apart,I got started with trekking that year but then that was the only one I did the whole year due to time constraints.
But the next June i.e in 2008 ,I went to Mahuli with Youngsterz again.Here I met the core members of this group whom I had missed the last time.We hit it off instantly.I actually enjoyed sweating out like a pig amidst the clouds.For a moment when I was alone at the highest point,I realised I love doing this.I loved the quiet sound of wind gushing past me and threatening me to carry along with it.For the restless person I am,I thought I was totally at peace with myself though only for a few moments.It was great,I had decided wanted to do more of this.
Youngsterz had planned a 2 day trek to Harishchandragad after a week's gap after Mahuli.The group leader convinced me that It was one of the most beautiful place on earth with photos as evidence.I gave in;convinced my folks about the overnight feat and was desperately waiting for the day to come.
Meanwhile just out of excitement I convinced my classmates to do a trek together.Together we planned to go to Peb the following week before harishchandragad.As fate had its own plans,I broke my left hand hitting a pole outside the train on my way to Neral.Since then I have gone through a lot, be it the gruelling pain or the dreadful surgery.But one thing kept me going the words of my friends I had met during Mahuli and the hope of getting cured as soon as possible and getting back on track with lots of trekking.Someday I will go to this place and the other wonderful places and hopefully with the same funloving people I am with today.:)
Even today I am waiting for the day when I can actually get connected to nature like did someday.The hope keeps me going and I dream of that moment every time I am pondering over things.And all thanks to my friends ,They keep encouraging me to get well soon and join them soon.So isn't this a dream worth hunting for?????

Lucky Me,

Women Power!

I always wondered what is this so called ,much hyped "woman -power".I could never understand this till I read the book "Thousand Splendid Suns".The way the author has connected the lives of two women from totally different cultures n eras is totally mesmerizing.I was amazed to know that a man could express the emotions of a woman rather the companionship between two woman so beautifully.
I am still stuck with the words"A legitimate ending to illegitimate beginnings",these words seem to be so apt to the situation i.e just before the hanging of one of the characters -Mariam.The tribute Laila pays to Mariam by visiting her village and feeling her there is so special.Its like they are bound to each other in life n beyond.
After a long time I read a book which touched me in so many different ways.This book asked me to redefine my already existing relationships,made me to see them in a different light.I am glad I read that book in a phase where I was about to lose my closest pals due to physical distance n various other reasons for which we are not responsible.
I guess ultimately I understood women power as something very subtle but strong.I guess "Resilience" would describe it in one word.
That's all I can write ,for my first blog.I hope to keep improving as I continue writing.;)

Successful!

After wondering lots about what exactly is blogging,I have successfully created an account n have learnt to use it to some extent.Now I am desperately hoping to continue this new interest of mine than to dump it altogether in a few days!
As of now I am very happy to write something out of nothing!
