Uttarakhand - A God's gift to us

Haridwar. I was sitting in a ghat in city (near Shankar Ashram chauk).Ganga river is always been close to me. SItting alone in a ghat takes you to somewhere else in thoughts. That was my last day in Haridwar (till now). After joining my job in hyderabad i went to Haridwar to get my degree from college, Gurukula Kangri Univeristy.

I had memorable two and half years here in Haridwar. Sitting in the same ghat again after getting the job was something else. Sound of flowing Ganga was taking me to memories of last two and half years of my college.Friendship, fights, plans, birthdays and on top of everything " the unexplored places of uttarakhand".

Haridwar , Rishikesh , Massoriee , Dehradun , Chila Jungle, nearby temples of city , Neelkanth etc. Gagnga river blesses these places.

Ghat Aarti at Har ki Pauri , streets , shops , music , crowd from different regions of India makes Haridwar a splendid place to visit once. When I observe people taking holy Dip in Ganga, i could feel the satisfaction on their faces. They came here after travelling miles and miles for this satisfaction only. Turn other way around, you will find Sadhu's (definitley in their own world). Some were having Ganja probably , some were busy in their laptops (not kidding :) ). Uttarakhand displays the kind of diversities as a nation we have. You will hear almost every regional language here.

In Haridwar , there are many more ghats where you can spend your evening just watching the flowing river.

Starting range of Himalayas , leaves us some small wildlife centuries near Haridwar. Chila jungle is part of them. We went unprepared there. Jungle was dense but beautiful. It was hot day and we were in search of water. Then we head a flowing water music coming from far , we followed , and again, it was a stream of river Ganga. Cleanest water. We drunk water like animals, took a small bath there and walked. Couples were enjoying the bullet rides though. River, mountains, greenry, birds , lots of birds. It was a bliss.Pure bliss.

Rishikesh is much richer when it comes to tourrism. Adventure activities plays big role in this. What i like most there i the cleanliness of Ganga river and its flow and the temples. This is the place for Yoga and Meditation. Beleive me , you won't find much better place than this to practice meditation. Tourist from other countries like Israil , Russia come here in search of peace. Mountains in Rishikesh are peacefull . Probably this place is the first choice of foreign tourists in Uttarakhand.

If you ever been to Rishikesh, Don't forget to visit  neelkanth temple. It takes big heart to drive on such narrow roads which are revloving around cleab water of Ganga river. It was a thrilling journey.

Watching river from top seems like a line which is drawn by a notoriuos chlid.

Queens of Hill, Massoriee.A road trip from dehradun to Massoriee is famous trip. It's more enjoyable in Roadways buses. As we do. Delhi bus drivers don't beleive on slowing down the speed.Vallies re incredible in Massroiee.

Dehradun is a shopping place. I think every trend of fashion start from here.Tibet market , you can find almost everything here.Attraction is, boys with spikes hircut and girls with straight hair with dark kajal :)

Every village of Uttarakhand is worth viiting, they have some stories. People are so nice here.I cn talk to them for hours.Hindi in Pahadi accent is melodiuos.

A small lighted pot passed by me. It was one of many which  were flown in evening Ganga Arti from nearby Ghat.  That light wakes me up from my last two and half year of thoughts.It was another sun set , but my last in Haridwar. I was blessed to stay here for such long time. Its not a place to visit for two or three days. It's immortability can be understooda when you become part of this city and state.

I stood up from there and went to station to get my train back to Delhi , then Hyderabad.

We should thank to almighty for this gift.

The Matching 'dots'

We ,90s kids ,must be knowing the game of filling the dots . You have to select the the proper dots route  and it will end up in a beautiful shape or else a weird one.
Never ever thought while playing that game that i would be writing that our life is nothing but just "filling the proper dots".

Every tiny or huge incident or the persons we meet in our life are nothing but dots leading towards somewhere. Unknowingly they make impacts which gives shapes to our life .

To realize this , just think for a while where you are reading this and the circumstances which has drawn you to that place . Look around the people and imagine how you met them and why you are with them .
These answers will definitely make the chain of questions and you must be in the past by now and thinking how you fill those dots to be here where you are.

"Do we choose the right dots or do we have any option to choose the dots ? "
A fair question , I think somewhere we always end up in such situations in our life where we have to decide between the two.
We see two different directions but we don't know where the horizon is. To select one of the best possible route we do all calculations and match one (one of two) dot and get started to make a shape. We have reached till here with that route and where you are at present you already  know the answer of "do we choose the right dot".

When choosing a path we must listen to our inner voice ,a voice which has no word but can  be understood by whole world, your communication with yourself , your gut feeling .
Shape of matching dots may be very different when a decision is forced on you and when you realize what your inner voice says.

Now something which is not in our control . Planned coincidences , planned by the almighty but we see them as coincidence only in our life.
A single route followed by surprises and many dots ,ending up in a beautiful shape (sometimes may not look like beautiful but we have to accept that they are ) .

So let's keep on playing this game, hear your voice to select a dot, enjoy the coincidence and see how your life is shaping up 👍.

'Those' who inspires you.

In our daily life , we meet with so many people. Some stay around for while, some goes away, some even become part of our life. As the time passes away some strangers become friends, we start sharing and caring for them , we travel around with them and we start enjoying each other company. And life is good.... until you meet with someone who 'inspires' you for doing something.
They may make realize that we have always enough time to do what we like ,other than the regular office work.

This can be anything, it may be what you are thinking to do for last three years, or it may be you just thought. They make you realise that time is precious and limited .So ,one way is to see let the time pass by and other way is to make most of it what we have.

And the feel of doing something we like most,what we wanted to do for so long ,Is the most beautiful feeling .
This feeling is so true and genuine, the expression of your face when you talk about your passion tells the story.

Once we start working on what we actually want to do, we realize that there was always enough time for us ,even after regular working hours.
As Now you know the priority , what makes you happy , so no excuse .

As they say "just start it, you will reach somewhere from here , then things will happen". Reality is it's not that simple .So many obstacles comes and there you have to show your character and will power which no one can teach you.
Self belief that eventually it will happen.

We all want to be successful in our life, all want to be an example for others. But it is possible only if we are following our passion, our dream.
For most of us, there are so many factors which forces us to work on something that is not our passion. And while we are working on that, we start running so fast in the 'race' that we forget what our passion was. And that is the time when you need strangers "those who inspires you".
