the shangri-la....

so far so good...
we reach Tezpur at the appointed time..the frst thng i notice about the town is tht its beautiful!!! my friend from the univ picked us(the two lost souls) from the stoppage. though the lunch we had in a local restro was not tht good,still the hunger made it tastier than i expected... we were tired but we still had an hour more to go... my body wanted to give up,but my spirit didnt.......period.


so we have reached the university...the route was less of a road and more of a roller coaster ride...the potholes felt bigger than the craters of the moon!!! i would take some time off to really praise the patience of the ASTC drivers who commute through this route all day long!!!!
as we enterd the huge,decorated and very beautifully carved out gate of the TEZPUR UNIVERSITY i started to feel as if i am a student there already...we decide to leave the bus and walk to the hostel gust house to admire the serene environ and soak it on.. the only word that came to my mind and lips was a "wow"!! the moment i set my foot out of the bus
my fatigue seemed to have run miles away..i was inside my shangri-la..

the university campus was huge.it was like a town insyd a town itself..my friend Amelia* showed us around the campus in a jiffy as she knew tht we wer too tired to walk anymore...but the strangest thing was that the weather changed from a bad sunny/dusty day to a more cooler and airy evening...as if to welcome our arrival in their town..
nothng was more soothing and relaxing to us than a nice bath and a hot cuppa coffee which had awaken my senses again...so it was going to RAIN!!!!

lets stop it here again...will surely continue it..till then be good..

N.B: *i hav changed some names agen :)

When the odds met

My eyes moved from the first row and it got stuck to the second last seat by the window in the left. It was empty and it looked cozy and welcoming. The bus I just boarded for home was practically empty with just a few college students and 3-4 elderly people sitting here and there leaving the back of the bus alone..in darkness..    The untimely shower had made some people miserable and had disintegrated their lives leaving the streets deserted and making the city look like a distant, sleepy suburb at 8 PM. But they had to admit, the rains left its beauty behind washing up the unbearable dust and bringing down the temperature for people to take a sigh of a short lived relief. I loved it.    Leaving everyone behind, I reached to the seat that I had already assigned to myself inside my head. As I settled down after folding my 3-fold umbrella messily and trying to dry off the marks of the rain from my soaking head and arms I dunked my head inside my bag searching for the

And this what we call is ‘life’

No, I am not a corporate bug. Neither am I a desk and chair person. I am a person who likes not to be bound and left to a computer to work on data, numbers and figures. But being in a society that only likes security and stability in all the spheres of their lives I am trying to stick around.    I opted for a course that offered me a platform to pursue my dream of freedom and creativity. But lesser did I know that it is seldom going to come handy in my future.  I had a raging fantasy about being independent and strong, outgoing and free with a mission in my head and lots more to do. To write a book or rather a memoir, travel to unknown lands with just the camera in my hand (oh yes I can click to save myself!), live alone and cook myself, meet or maybe just observe new people as I am not a very talkative one here, collect numerous souvenirs from places I traveled, create a new memory every day.   So, as decided and worked upon, I even got a few chances to fulfill the dream o

A COCOON FOR THE TWO

It always confused her. She did not know how to respond to these questions. She had never seen her father. It was just her ‘Ma’ and her since the events of her life had unfolded and left marks on her. She always wondered the root of questions like, “what does your father do?” or “what’s your father’s name” or “where is your father”. She simply did not know how to answer them. While on the primal stages of her life she would stare at her mother wondering what was going on who would save her from the horror and control the situation. Later on after gaining the insight about it, she would simply tell people what ‘Ma’ told her father used to do. Not having a father or father like figure never had bothered her, it didn't matter. ‘Ma’ was her life, her friend, philosopher her guide. Her whole life was centered around the women who bore her, gave birth to her and was with her on every recollection of her life. She used to see children her age with a man along with their mothers.
