THE ALLURING WHITE

 

Checking-in..IGI Airport..2:00 pm.
Excitement…Exhilaration…Zeal…Zest…Elation…
All the other synonyms put together would not be enough to gather on my enthusiasm to visit this place…to just have a glimpse of this heaven…
YES! That’s what our entire nation calls it…”HEAVEN ON EARTH”…!
We boarded on…and it took off…
1.5 hours and it was here.
There was something different about it…something so different in its air that I could not stop smiling and peaking out while getting down from the plane.
I took another step and the cold breeze just hit my face like I had entered a literal refrigerator, I was prepared for the weather but my preparedness fell apart facing the low temperatures of this place.
There were army officers…like there were these officers everywhere…like literally everywhere…standing with their guns on, in extreme cold, with stiff bodies, with strong will power to protect us from every single terror..I can see it in their eyes…!!
Exit…and Arrow…

 

 

Eyes out of window…continuously…I didn’t want to miss even a single glimpse of beauty which we were passing through…and there were soldiers throughout our way…I guess they were throughout the entire city…*Terrorists prone area*…
A huge lake towards my left…with hundreds of HOUSEBOATS…each one decorated with the most creative forms of the residents…each one so pretty…
We also had one booked…it had a name…but it was too far to be read…Each one had a name…!
Shikara – a boat decorated like a newly wed bride – waiting to take us to our houseboat..
*New Hermes deluxe – the name*
It was beautiful…like a home…Drawing room,Dining room,two Bedrooms,Carpets all over the place, Chandeliers so alluring, Curtains, Yellow lights…and
HASAN JII…
One of the finest man I have ever met…the owner…caring, loving, smiling, cheerful, helpful, innocent, serving us at all times…he sent us to boat around in the Dal Lake – I saw the Floating Markets..even grocery shops and clothes and so many other shops floating over the lake…peaking my interest to another level..!
HASAN JII AGain…
He brought us food,the famous pakoras, served it to us…he was available at any time..day or night..
‘Mehmaan bhagwan saman hota hai’
We say it..he follows it..!!

Night and the morning…I stepped out and the view…it was like we were floating in the clouds, the mountain just in front of me was bathing in snow – * I have neither seen snow nor snowfall* – my interest climbed one step upwards..excitement doubled..!!
It was a long road trip, we reached a point…it was so damn high…roads covered with snow…6 feet snow walls bordered the roads…
I got out on the road and stared at the beauty of nature..stared at the valley down the mountain which was all white..stared at the trees that pictured like Christmas trees…stared at the landscape which seemed like a painting…and while I was capturing it in my eyes, I felt like a white pearl-sized and pearl-shaped cotton drop fell on my cheek…looking up and it was happening…

Something I always wished to see was happening, feeling when one of your dreams come true..Yes, it was my dream to experience a snowfall… And experiencing it in the world’s prettiest place was even better..
White can be the most pleasing colour of all…just see it, look at it…it depends on the form of white you are coming across.
And all those days we were there,  were about WHITE’S BEAUTY..!

 

It was difficult to walk in it…I fell almost three to four times- it’s tough when your butt hit the snow hard but it’s definitely a kind of fun you should experience- I could not stop laughing although.
Hands got red and legs unconscious…when we were riding on a pony on the mountain..
Left was snow-covered white mountains, Right was snow-covered white valleys…scary but thrilling…Getting on in a nowhere under the snow-raining sky…!!
Camera is not enough for such a place..its your eyes that capture each and every part of beauty embellished in white and store it in your permanent disc of memories.
*A combination of qualities that pleases aesthetic senses, especially the sight.* – this is how Google defined beauty…
What is beauty?
I would say…KASHMIR in WHITE…!!!

 

QUEST FOR THE BEST!

Source: QUEST FOR THE BEST!

QUEST FOR THE BEST!

A…B…C…D…E…F…G…H….
These all were racing in the nerves of my brain to reach out the ultimate word i was looking for to start with….they were competing..
I was born as ‘I’ because my sperm won the race with thousands and lakhs of alike.

That was their dream race of life…they were competing…
I tried to catch up the eyes of everyone when there were other kids doing crazy stuff and cute things to grab the attention…they were competing…!!

I…J…K…L…M…N…O…P.
And we entered the school world…so many were there, so many with different packaging, so many of us, everybody competing with everybody…
Fighting for the best, fighting to become the best – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on…12th…and here you are towards the end of your schooling, to strive for the best in the outer world…
It’s like micro and macro…micro world is defined…you know the people you are competing with…
But
Macro…it is simply undefined, unknown…you don’t know who they are, where they are and how many are they…you just compete…
You compete for college, for divisions, for degrees, for prizes, for awards, and most of all for a job…
And all this study phase competition comes down to one thing… Money..!!

 

Look at the world, its people…
Look at politics, these ‘netas’ are competing for position and power…
Look at business, these companies are competing for profits and value…
Look at sports, these players are competing for medals…
Look at cinemas, these movies are competing for hits and public…

Look at the neighbor kids, they are competing to be better than you…

Look at the girls next to you, they are competing for beauty and style…

Look at the matrimonial profiles, they are all competing to be the one for you…

Look at your own selves; you are competing since existence and beyond…
Initially for life, then with lives…for success…and what is success?
Success is competition…if you can compete with tonnes of lakhs like you and win…congratulations you are successful..!!
It’s not just the outer world we are competing with…it’s the inside too…
Between emotions…*this happened*…
Angry or Sad??
Happy or Calm??
It depends on who is fast enough to win the emotions’ race…
Our lives are bound to compete with others…!!

But there was he watching me as i was putting out my words about competition…like a shadow in white…
Staring and Smiling…
As i just realized that there was one single thing still left with no rules, no races, no threats, no competitions…
PEACE…!!
And this my friend cannot be elaborated…!!!
Q…R…S…T…U…V…W…X…Y…Z..!!

WRITING A PAINTING

Briefing a Landscape Art…

Pick up the painter’s tool, imagine and outline…

Leaf ends on the top…pointing towards the right. Only the ends…
Lines Waving like the river waves… So much wavy…roughly spread… Seeming like uncombed messy hairs… But long enough to be called river waves..!

Black thin wire…where does this come from…Making a fold towards right…
Earphones it is…plugged in the phone…Yes…i can see the phone..kept just below her hairs..!
Wire moving towards left..thin black wire…cord is here..In her ear that is beautifully pierced…
It’s visible…perfectly circular face…
Chubby chubby cheeks, simple straight nose and lips-not smiling, not speaking… But half open…shining with a rosy lip balm…
The toughest…Eyes…

Eyebrows…are bending towards each other forming very light parallel vertical lines at nose top…
Eyelashes forming triangles..pointed sharply and extended..seems to be wet…
Eyeballs…straight up..towards the sky or say ceiling or is it the ceiling fan…?

Eyes half open and a line from her left eye around 1-2 cm thick is connecting eyes to ears…
No…Stop…
It just stopped on her cheek…line ending like an egg… A 3D egg…
Its moving slowly towards her ear but movement in a painting…
NOT POSSIBLE…!!!
Right palm on the left corner…lightly folded…i can see the lines… Hand lines… And perfectly shaped nails…
Palm just next to her face…beside the forehead…
Rest is the blanket below…
Wait…
There’s a teddy lying…Next to her…
But she is not holding it…Yes she is not…!!!

Portray if you understood her…
Portray if you understood her expressions…
Portray if you understood her emotions…
Portray if you understood her writing…!!!
Playful Architecture of Instantly Numb Things!!!

CHOOSE YOUR CHOICES…!!!

” It’s all about priorities “
I meant it….and believed it!
Till i came across a big CROSS standing in the way of my thoughts.
” It’s all about choices ”
Life is about choices…
Living your life is about choices…!

Choose…Infosys or Cognizant…?
Yes fast…
Choose…Science or Commerce…?
Think Faster…
Choose…Studying or Going out…?
Deep…
Choose…Going by Car or Activa…?
Let’s get Deeper…
Choose…Meeting your friend plus angry mom or Back to home on time…?
More…
Choose…what to call your mom…mom, momi, mumma, mataa…?
Choose…Stepping left or right..?

In every second there is a choice…the instances are so short sometimes that you don’t even realize that you had a choice…!
Knowing how to live your life, what you want in your life, where do you want to pull it, makes these choices easy. Yes, very easy.
The moment you are not able to…
STAGNATION…

Shitty smell, fungal infections and unwanted insects…
You are confused…you don’t want the happening; you want what’s not happening…
But choose…choose what should happen next to you…
Choose…whether you want to feel the pain and cry or not…
Choose…whether you want to beautifully smile and impress or not…
Expectations– these are simply the elaborated versions of your own wants…
Stop blaming others for your incomplete expectations…no two people can have the same…

Start expecting things from your own selves…!!

Choose…YOU or THEM...!!!

Channelling and Holding Options In Correlation Et cetera!!!

EVERYBODY IS A NOBODY!!!

Standing in a crowded place..among so many people..
Everybody roaming across their own minds and roaring their thoughts..
I..standing in the middle of such a huge lot..pushing, snapping, crawling then stopping, lofting and again prowling…
Having no meaning in their lives and they having no meaning in mine…
A lot of nobodies…
Standing in a crowded place…among so many nobodies..
All unknowns are simply nobodies..
Apparently i am a nobody too,
For all those nobodies..!!

Simplistically- Known are Everybody
                         Unknowns are Nobody!!
That applies to every life present…or say to every nobody.
We are all nobodies for some of our nobodies..and those who are not nobody are everybody!
Application of this principle to life-
Family- Permanent everybody
Friends- Temporary
One addition to everybody is one subtraction to nobody…One less to everybody is one addition to nobody..
Addition-subtraction is easy but Subtraction-Addition…its like punching the feelings.
Everybody to Nobody…asking the mind to manipulate the heart..and Yes, it is successful maximum times..process named as Moving On, resulting in the closure of that nobody’s chapter leaving behind some memorable memories…!!

But is that converted nobody actually a nobody??
Stop…Think…What if you come across that nobody which was once everybody..?
Reality check…
Everybody stays Everybody for the entire life..
But Nobody is nobody until becomes Everybody!!!
We are all nobody and everybody for some or the other anybody.

A Paining Heart or A Paining You!!!

” Hey i got hurt..i fell from school stairs..its paining”
” she broke up with me..my heart is paining”
” she is always shouting at me..it pains so bad..i get scolded even when its not my bad”
” we were so good friends but now…sometimes a feel a kind of pain in my heart thinking about it”
PAIN….
Is this pain???

Yes maybe it is but….
” My mom is suffering from a disease…i can’t see her in this condition…she is so much fond of doing house stuff..she is such a good housewife and now she is not able to..-physical illness”
” He met with an accident and he was so broken that he could not stop crying..a guy who used to roam around everywhere is not able to..-physical damage”
” They had such a happy family..but then uncle died..what does destiny want..-physical loss”
PAIN…
What is pain actually??
I think you got the answer…
Unfortunate things happen..Yes they happen to us..to teach us about life more elaborately…to teach us about happiness and pain…
Yes it was painful to watch that mother suffering, it was painful to watch him suffering, it was painful to watch the family suffering….
Its simply like…Injury to you and Pain to others…!!!

“Hello…How are you?”
The second thing we are taught in our childhood is to ask the other one whether he is fine or not..
Yes, at the end its about physical things..!!
Love is best defined when physical..because then its pure..
So is Pain…its best defined when physical..
Why are fights, breakups, family problems painful…
its not PAIN…its just a bad moment, bad day, bad time or a bad feeling..
PAIN is….
Pinching Across Interpolating Nostalgia!!!

CHEERS FOR COFFEE!!!

“A brewed drink with a distinct aroma and flavor made from the roasted and ground bean.” – Scientific definition of a drink…
Just a drink….??
Yes for some..but for many its an addiction…
Addiction..???
Such a negative word…i say…its COFFEE!
Looking out from the window or sitting on your bed, holding your favorite mug, breathing in the seductive fragrance, sipping the depth of cocoa and rolling your tongue over the upper lip so as to feel even the last vapor.. .making you live those 10 minutes each day..spending some time-say quality time- with yourself until the touch of that hot favorite mug keeps warming the chilling palms.
Sometimes it helps you fight the loneliness and sometimes it helps you fight the surroundings…
Accompanying you when you’re alone and also when with some buddy.
Meeting with an old friend…go for a coffee,
Reading something…go for a coffee,
Have a spare time…go for a coffee,
Not feeling good…go for a coffee,
Want to relax…go for a coffee,
So much to worry about…go for a coffee,
Go for a coffee..go for yourself..don’t simply drink it, but feel it..
because its not just a drink…Its COFFEE..!
To some coffee makers- stop adding a pinch of it and naming it as coffee…its simply a disrespectful gesture towards it…
To others- i bow down…!
To tea drinkers- no offences..just a question…have you ever felt alive with it??
Yes coffee makes you feel alive…it makes you feel the way you actually feel…Yes it makes you feel that life is worth living when you are lost and it makes you spend time ‘YOU’ wen you are too busy…its a friend in your hand.

A Cup Of Fantasy Flavor which Earns Ecstasy.
Cheers to life..Cheers to Coffee!!
