Recently I returned back to Noida after completing Shri Ram Charit Manas path at my home in Varanasi. It's an event, when everybody has to be present at home and my brother from Singapore also arrived Delhi in the morning so that we can leave for home in the evening by Shiv Ganga Express ( a famous train for Delhi-Varanasi ).

When we reached Varanasi, we were escorted:) with some people of brother's staff and we reached home in half an hour. All the preparations were done and in the afternoon the Ram Charit Manas started. We usually have a set of people who are professional for Ram Charit Manas path and are available for this event for last 5-6 years (without even asking as they know about this event happening every navratra, this time).

We all brothers are really enthusiast for Ram Charit Manas since the childhood and really enjoy singing/reading it. There are n number of different Lay/taal for reading Ram Charit Manas and when with instruments, it sounds great.

Few special lines are -

" Jahi na chahiya kabahu kachu, tum sang sahaj saneh !
Basahu Nirantar taas man, So raur niz gaih !!" (I'll put it in Hindi!)

" Seeya ram main sab jag jani, Karaun pranam jori jug pani !" (This is the one liner which is called "Samput" and has to be set for akhand ramayan.)

Maha Shivratri.....Gone are the days !

Many years ago...remmbering the days when I[we] used to stay in Lahartara Railway colony. Shivratri used to be a festival which were celebrated to a great extent. There was a small temple near the ralway line, which used to be hub for all the religous activity. [I remember women from colony gathers there for Diwali pooja or other festivals] There was a big enough playground in front of the temple and adjacent to this ground, there were two rows of houses, one on each side. This used to be the place where the Colony committee use to arrange a movie show in the open sky[If you remember, it's something similar to a scene in "Swadesh" where the song "ye taara wo taara" were filmed.

Having introduced to the surrounding, I start the story which I would like to tell today.....

The story is about two kids who were part of a family...quite big family..In the railway colony, I couldn't find a family with less than 4 kids. The biggest family used to be 9-10 ppl. and the smallest one with 5-6 members. So these two young guns were hot shots and were able to

Togetherness....

Together we are...

At the night, when darkness covers the sky
and the moon tries to illuminate the sky,
stars twinkling all over the sky,

I see straight into your eyes...
and feel togetherness, I don't tell a lie
the life is so beautyful...under the sky !!

I suspect the survival is not possible...
if you weren't with me..for all the long days...
and longer nights !!

A story on break-up

Previous few months had been real good in terms of having a quality time and comppany with her.

Married Life

I am coming after a long time to write a blog. There had been many events in past few months in my life. I passed through a bad time in life and then came out of it timidly. Things seemed to improve and a ton of thanx to my family which supported me to great extent. Quite a tough time as such, which I encountered after some mishappenings around me, my company etc. My recovery was slow and I had been pretty timid in my those days, as I remember now. I got all blessings of god [Hanuman ji] and my elders and I believe that helped me fight back [though slowely].

In Dec., 2007, There came a proposal and My family decided for me to get married. I got married to Khushboo on 3rd Feb and living happily thereafter. Life has changed and there are a lot of expectations, I notice from each other. It's not that always we have better mood and good time but overall there is a thrill all the time. Khushboo is doing good and taking care of home till the moment though here aspirations are to work as a HR professional. I have started floating her resumes to my acquaintances and expecting to get some feedbacks sooner [or later]

Time (samay) - the only dimension in World

Today while thinking abt. past 6 months, I feel Time is the one dimension in Life.
