To dream-light dear while yet unseen,Dear to the common sunshine,And dearer still, as now I feel,To memory's shadowy moonshine!-Yarrow revisited, William WordsworthI just finished watching ' Once upon a time in Mumbai'. Though the movie may be called mediocre at best, the city definitely would surpass any adjective, positive or negative that may be given to it.I have a love-hate relationship with Bombay, or Mumbai as it is now. As a child...
The Godly Trip - II
In faith, In kolhapur, In religious tripMonday, April 12, 2010
“It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.” - Ursula K. LeGuin Yes. I love journeys. So there I was on the 7 o’ clock train to Kolhapur from Tirupati, tired and thoughtful. My profession requires me to cross-reference, so let me recap episode 1 for the uninitiated. I had set off to Tirupati, the abode of...
A Godly trip - I
In faith, In hills, In religious trip, In TirupatiThursday, April 8, 2010
Loneliness inspires a lot of craziness in people. It is not our default state. That said, when we are lonely and troubled we often end up exploring possibilities that we have not previously considered. This could either lead to a complete disaster or give you an insight on all your problems. I’m sure you’re wondering if I am writing in the wrong blog. The cry...
Ganpatipule- a trip to inner peace
In beaches, In ganpatipule, In konkanTuesday, March 30, 2010
My legs are still worn and my face badly burnt from the afternoon heat, and yet within me there is a feeling of serenity and a deep longing for the non-existent rewind button in life. Yes I am back to the cubicle walls, the unfriendly environs of work and the humdrum of routine life. And I have vacation hangover. I spent the last few days in Ganpatipule. Another...
Unroute to faith
In experiences, In faithSaturday, March 20, 2010
Just got back from a trip.. Not the relaxy, beachy kinds; more like the functional religious ones a lot of us Indians so frequently undertake.But sometimes, even religious trips do more than justifying your conscience( Yes we are all sinners to the core :)). With an open mind and a strong desire to break the monotony of work life, you can pretty much find green pastures in the most barren lands.Just a few words to that...The subtle summer...
Insanity check
In diary of EW, In travelTuesday, February 9, 2010
The elusive wanderer is getting restless. Goan dream part II is still “Work in progress” and she hasn’t left town in half a century ( read a month and a half). Saint Valentine’s day is right around the corner and EW(as I fondly call the elusive wanderer) is dying to be with her beloved nature. What a truly sad time to be loaded with work. Should she take off by herself? Convince a long lost friend to accompany her? Or maybe simply take...
The Goan Dream - I
In agonda, In beaches, In goa, In palolemWednesday, January 13, 2010
Big bags, check, sunscreen, check, bus tickets, check. Ready to go Goa? Are you kidding me??? Goa is one place every wanderer worth his salt would want to go to. What was surprising was, inspite of a billion plans, a hundred opportunities and countless invites, I had never been to Goa. So when suddenly this December brought forth an opportunity to visit this...
