WOW...is this an Acronym for a word?

India is WOW, these were the words of my Israeli fellow passenger…It was one of the weekend trips when I was travelling back from home to Delhi…this time my mom was also with me..It is the first time that she would be with me in Delhi...

Well this is my own belief, don’t know to how many I contradict, that journey in a Train is a best way to travel. You meet people and often you have to socialize coz you have to share a good amount of time in the journey.

During this journey I met an Israeli Tourist. He was quite a good chap to talk to. And the best part was that he has visited so much of India that I believe I wouldn’t be able to do in my life..He had explored almost the whole northern India. And his Quest was still on. and good great god he was travelling alone..i can't imagine being aloone at my place, and for him the reason behind that was to find some peace, get to know new people in this whole new country INDIA...

I got to know from him that it is mandatory for everyone in Israel to join the Army..And he had just got a voluntary retirement after he served the Israel Army as a captain…Impressive...

But he wasn’t too happy working there in the Army..And this as well was quite contrary to what it happens in India…here people feel proud being in Army…When I told him about this,his immediate response was that Army might be paid good here in India…but I bet in India being in Army is more than JUST MONEY…

After all this he wanted to Study Engineering but as of now he wants to travel doing nothing at least for 2 years…he had plans to start studying for that in 2013..And I have never been on travel for a week..And that fellow was on trip for 2 Years...Impressive…

After Covering whole of the Northern India, his plans were to visit Bangkok then come back to India…and it was unbelievable that he had plans to visit whole of the India…

He had Maps of every place and once I spoke out name of a place he would search that in the Maps…And if he goes this ways he will surely have a more sound Geographic Knowledge of India than me...And that wouldn’t be a very proud thing for me…He had Views about India that I also agree to a great extent…India is a country of contrast everywhere..One place you’ll find rich ,affluent people living a lavish life and the same place you’ll find people striving for the basic needs…He had even visited Haridwar and Rishikesh , and he was in complete awe to those places…

He was very happy with the Transport System here in India…The Railways as he said are WOW…

The People are WOW and the sceneries are WOW…and hearing this good about India from a Tourist definitely will make any Indian feel WOW…And I really felt that way…

The Beautiful Mystery...

Her teeth were shining just like some beautiful white stones..The most enigmatic smiles i had ever seen. From where she was standing i could see that she had a dimple on her right cheek. Ad mist her talks she did took a notice of me, a smile in reply was there.her eyes were really talking, apart from the smile she had the most expressive eyes i had ever seen. She kept on talking , smiling , chirping just like a tiny bird. Everything appeared to be so beautiful and calm because of her. I tried to see if she had dimple on her left cheek too. From where i was standing it appeared she hadn't. The distance between of mere 6 stations appeared to be Quite long. At last she moved to get down , stood next to the door, And as she was about to get down she turned and just smiled back and i could only stay numb and the only thing i could remember was "She had a dimple on her left cheek too."

Ideologies !!!

Whom should i vote for? This is the biggest chaos my mind has been dealing for months, since the inception of the nationwide elections. And one of the worst nightmares these elections have brought is that my Facebook time line is flocked with promotional videos , pictures of various political parties. Now i hardly see any pictures of my friends getting married, no posts telling the  place where they are dining and with whom, which movie they are in, no posts telling they are feeling happy, Sad , irritated. If i look into one perspective of this,it really speaks that the country is getting a bit more involved into things of real concern i.e. the national politics. But the other perspective really makes me sick, the way few of my friends are endorsing the political leaders of their choice. Some of them simply seem rude and offensive. Even i have seen comments where a person feels that the different choices of political parties might also lead to ruin their friendship. I don't feel t

Am i there?

It is 8:20 PM IST on a friday , my phone just got discharged completely and i don't have any zoom meetings till the next 40 minutes. So my anxiety made me think how to spend these 40 minutes, the only resort i found was my laptop and i turned into my blogger account, and i just realized i haven't posted anything since 5 years , yes 5 long Years.  My last post was published on July 16,2015. Out of nostalgia i read few of my posts which i didn't even recalled writing. Well there were some lines which i realized were not that bad but surely there were some cliches too. Started typing out of curiosity to check if i still have that which takes to write. Definitely the words are not coming that easily (an honest realization).  So i will try and recall what all things have changed for me between my last post on July 2015 and today. Here comes the darn list The sweetest change, I am a father now. I have a 3 and a half year old daughter (Read : Chatter box). Learning a lot of new th
