"Insta" Moments

 Browsing through my own Instagram album on Facebook, reliving those moments - it is always amazing.

Presenting some of those memories in #InstaStyle ;)

Silver Lining Cloud

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."

Unnchi hai building; Lift teri band hai ...

 Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony.

Enjoy the sunset; look forward to every sunrise.

The sun is gone, but I have a light; a ray of hope!

Life's a beach; enjoy the waves.

P.S. - Its not that I am full-on velli(free like a bird) but sometimes you wish to relive those moments though not in real but through these captured memories.

Discovering 'Magical' Mumbai - A Glimpse!

नमस्कार

      आपण कसे आहात? 

Obvious it is,  the above greeting is in Marathi but मला मराठी बोलता येत नाही  :(

Here it is, at last for 'Aamchi' Mumbai. 

... Wait .. Wait... its not the 'END' , its just the start of my feature presentation ... 'Meri aur Bombay(i like this name) ki picture abhi baaki hai mere dost'.


From the glitz and glamor of Bollywood to being the financial captial of India; from hustle-bustle of 'Locals' to soothing breeze at Marine Drive; from J.W. Marriott to Juhu chowpatty; from Shri Siddhivinayak Temple to Haji-Ali Dargah;from not so clean beaches to lush green mountains;from Jalsa, Mannat, Ashirwaad to sprawling slums; Bombay has it all.
This reminds me of a book title "Bombay Rains and Bombay Girls" ; Bombay Rains .. aah, lovely, blissful ; Bombay Girls - I leave it for you to discover ;)

As I say - 

बम बम बंबई ,

बंबई हमको जम गयी ||

 

Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.  ~Oscar Wilde

And, I have a hard disk full of memories, lovely memories , rich experience and most importantly awesome friends.



Initial crazy trips to Bandra - Bandstand - Carter Road; a quick speedy evening at Gateway of India , Taj ,Colaba,  Nariman Point ...ahh... Marine Drive; spent an afternoon with lazy lions and tigers; live IPL match at Wankhade Stadium - watched "The God" of cricket bat; the fun of traveling in the "last local"; darshan and blessings from Shri Siddhivinayak, ISKCON, Mahalaxmi temple; catching the latest flick - PVR Tuesdays;  ferry ride to much hyped Elephanta caves; relaxing Juhu beach and amazing chowpatty with Special 4 Mix gola; night life at J W Marriott; majestic Hiranandani Gardens; tried to fit into the culture of "plays/theatre" - at Prithvi Theatre; and the list continues...



...  and it will continue with a new To Do list(what to do when you are in Mumbai).


Time for 'PACK UP'!!!

Warm Welcome 2013

Hola ,

Warm Wishes!

Here it is, 2013(Year of Snakes). The time of unfolding horizons, realization of new dreams, rediscover new strengths, new hopes, new aspirations, new resolutions, renewed spirits and JUSTICE delivered.

                             I read a beautiful depiction about New Year. Here it goes - 

"What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the essence of a year."

 

As we move on, each year brings with itself - diverse experience and enriched learning.  Each day of the year, unwraps a beautiful chapter and a new beginning. 

The year 2012 spread the NEED for CHANGE. Change in our system, change in outlook, change in demands, change in needs and change in OURSELVES. Change in ourselves will change our outlook towards what is just and unjust which in turn will help us to change the needs and demands of our society. As a result of these changes, OUR SYSTEM will change. 

 Change for Betterment, Change for Right.

 

My 2012 memoirs says, they feels safe in my personal diary and have thrown out the generics accusing them of not being anecdotes and part of their family.

I shall not interfere in this feud. :D
Though my blog awaits your new year resolutions and views. Bring them on! :)

Signing off for now. There is more to 2013. :)
