The unforgettable Nepal ....

Vacation time always the happy time and family time for us. The whole month was a busy month for us with 2 weddings in the family so we had to plan a short holiday. The travel agent suggested Nepal and we too said yes without googling it as we just wanted to get out. Luckily my sister in law decided to check the weather and told us how hot it would be. But as all reservation was done we could not change the plan .         

                  Taking the lords name we left for our holidays with lots of doubts and confusion. We landed in Kathmandu the capital city of Nepal . We were totally shocked by the city there was so much pollution and we actually felt we were choking. But we are a family of happy people we try to enjoy ourselves wherever we go. The 17 of us decided we are not going to be disappointed by anything we were there for a good time and we would have a good time. Luckily( a word we used many times during this vacation ) we just had a overnight stay at Kathmandu so we were all happy as next day our itenairy said river rafting ,that excited us ,we had done it in Kashmir and we had the best time there. We were given all the instruction and were given our life jacket helmet and paddle and also lots of warnings which our guide said we should listen carefully as there were chances of some accidents happening and we laughed thinking what can really happen..And it did happen we met with an accident 1 raft that was carrying my cousin,brother in law , brother and sister in law overturned and they were trapped in the whirlpool and the rapid and we had to to be the rescuers ,how we paddled seeing our loved ones in danger and managed to get them to safety .At that moment I was so proud of my family for being so calm and composed ,each one of us handled the situation so bravely and calmly ,it surprised even our guides. By the grace of god each one came out of the situation  safe and sound. We had a overnight stay in the tent on the shore ,but there was a sandstorm so sleeping in the tent was impossible so we had to sleep in our bus and some of us slept on the road .

             The next day we went to chitwan an amazing forest resort called tiger hill resort. We were welcomed by the hotel staff with a wonderful smile which believe me we saw through out our stay there. Chitwan was beautiful with their cabin like rooms with basic necessities and Eco friendly stuff. We went on an elephant ride in the jungles saw the rhino ,deers ,peacocks in close proximity . Oh it was fun. We even had a jungle walk there too we saw wild elephant ,rhino ,deers we prayed no one comes near us we really didn't want other out of the box experience.we really enjoyed the walk and the boat ride watching crocodiles and fishes,we enjoyed the walk  in the meadow with heavy rains pouring which drenched us from head to toe,my little nephews had a blast getting drenched in the rain and the elephant ride and seeing so many different animals. After 2 wonderful days in chitwan we bid  goodbye to the wonderful staff of the tiger wood resort,they truely were wonderful and made our stay more fun.

            From chitwan we went to pokhara a city of waterfalls ,temples ,lakes and many lovely stories from the past . We were fascinated by this quaint little place next to the lake seetu and surrounded by the himalaya ranges Annapurna and fish tail. Himalaya what do I say about it ,the size and the beauty of it always gives me a sense of pride thinking we  Indians are the ones protected by this amazing mountain range called the himalaya. We got up by 4:30 to see the sunrise from the mountain ranges ohhh what a sight it was,like I have said earlier what our eyes see the camera can never capture. But whatever we did capture can never beat the actual beauty of the place. Himalaya is one place that I can talk about forever and ever,and a mountain range that how many ever times I see ,I will always be fascinated by it. We left pokhara with a heavy heart for that was almost the end of our holidays . But adventure had to follow us we were stuck in the mountains for almost 10 hrs coz of a heavy traffic jam.

               We reached Kathmandu late in the evening so had to change our plans of going to the pashupathi nath temple the next day early morning just before we left for the airport. Next morning 6 am we were on our way to the temple . The temple had so many lovely stories which we heard with fascination, the shivlings around the temple ,the faith with which people prayed amazed us. After the temple we reached the airport to come back to India. When were at the airport we relived all our wonderful moments we had in Nepal. A place which showed us adventure in the rough rivers,peace around the himalaya,the amazing and the silent world of the jungle, we experienced every possible weather change from extreme hot ,to shivering in the cold near the river and the pleasant weather near the lake.

          For all of us this was 1 holiday that I am sure we will never ever forget. We call it the unforgettable Nepal ...

 

Words hurt more than action....

       Words  speech gods gift to us human . Words express our feeling it's makes things beautiful, it opens the unknown world....when a story teller tells his story it's the words that takes us to their world ,a world they imagine and we create with their imagination ,it's just their beautiful words that make us actually see what the writer wants us to see to feel ,what they want us to feel. Words are the most powerful tool we mankind have.

       Words of appreciation can make a person achieve any goals ,word of encouragement can make a person do the impossible , words can change the world for us 

       But words when not used sensibly can hurt a person so much. Sometimes I wonder how people can hurt someone else without thinking ,without noticing that each word of theirs can really hurt the person emotionally,When we speak have we ever thought how the other person feels with our words. We sometimes get so carried away with just proving ourselves to be right that we don't even care if we did the right things or not, and what hurts more is the people who hurt you are the people you consider closest to you,but you still have to smile and say it's okay no issues it's just words we  can't spoil relations for just words.sometimes life teaches you to eat ur pride for maintaining a relationship,and sometimes it teaches u ignorance is truely better,but how do we explain our tears also to ignore the words and how do we erase the memory of that words. Physical harm can be mended but verbal hurt can be forgiven but never forgotten,they will always be with you in some corner of your mind forever.

      But it's true life is all about adjustments ...but it's also true' It's only words and words are all we have to take your heart away' and break your heart too????

An emotion called Mother....

       Ma,amma,aaee,mother,mom mummy,mate,momzie,mama,whatever u call her is irrelevant ,she is one person who is the closest to her child ,a word that is universally loved and cherished by all. When a women becomes a mom she is totally absorbed in that role.she becomes a multi talented person always multi tasking without any efforts. She makes everything look so simple. She is one person who can read her babies mind ,she forget everything else and makes that baby her world.

      Sometimes I wonder how god created a mom,how someone gives up her whole life for other living being. I have realised one thing the word mother is a feeling  ,an emotion that every women has inside her. She doesn't have to have babies to get these feelings and emotion,it's inbuilt in her from the day she is born. This feeling is shown in all stages of her life,when she is a kid ,that feeling is shown to her dolls ,as a sister the feeling is shown to the siblings,the feeling is shown when she is with friends ,lover,husband ,pet ,child actually in everything ,anywhere and everywhere.

      I too am a mother a good one or not am not sure but yes I too am a mom, I chose to be a full time mom for i wanted to be around my babies all the time i wanted to take care of their every need till they can take care of themselves,and believe me it's not an easy task there are many sleepless nights,you have to study all over again with your child,read the same fairy tales again and again ,till it's running in your blood stream,watch them throw tantrums,carry them on your shoulders till every bone of yours is crying with pain,many times u feel you are mentally and emotionally drained,many times u cry yourself to sleep ,thinking your youth is passing by in just cooking cleaning and handling whining babies. And your social life is in a standstill actually u have absolutely no social life,but then everytime u see ur child smiling you are back to action forgetting your own needs. There are times when  your child screams and yells at you saying hurtful things coz you have to be strict with them, the reason behind is to make a child understand the good and the bad,many times I too have fights with my girls as they feel I am always saying a no for something's they want to do, but i wishes the child would understands why the mother says a no,it's never coz she doesn't trust her child,her child is her only precious possession whom she wants to protect from all evils,she knows what nirbhaya's mother is going through,she can understand the pain a mother feels when she could not protect her child,though she understands life cannot stop ,but for a mom her life stops if anything ever happens to her child. Even a small scratch on her child is something the mother cannot bear. Sometimes I too wish my babies would understand me ,understand I trust them more than my life itself,but I know it's very difficult for them to do so, as they would never understand that emotion till they become a mom themselves,till then all babies We will be strict ,stop u ,protect u from all evil..that is our job you hate us for it is totally okay by us..

       There is so much we can talk about the emotion we call mother,but we just cannot compile it in one page or 100 pages. It's an emotion felt by every women irrespective  if she has a baby or not..I hope all of you out there agree with me on this... Anyways let me take this opportunity to wish every woman ,every girl,A Very Happy Mothers Day let's celebrate the lovely emotion that's inside every women that people call  a MOTHER.....

The virtual world or the actual world?????

Recently on Facebook I was watching this video how we the people are always online and on social networking sites,and let life go by ....according to that video even though we have 100 's of friends in virtual world but in the actual world we are so lonely.and it made me think  really is it true..... maybe in many ways yes it is. We do miss out on true beauty around us ,as now we watch everything through the eyes of the camera lens coz we want to upload photos on our social networking sites,somewhere we have stopped seeing things through our own eyes.honestly I do it also all the time.

  This time for my nephews wedding my brother did the honour of clicking all the personnel snaps and I think it was the best thing for all of us ,for once I enjoyed the function seeing it with my own eyes and not through the eyes of the camera lens. everything around looked so beautiful,I truely cherished every moment coz I was not busy clicking photo ,but was enjoying my brother in law and sister beaming with happiness when their son tied the knot,all my sisters looked so beautiful and the kids oh my god how beautiful each one looked,the bride and groom looked so wonderful together, what my eyes could see I know the camera will never show the same things and never show the feeling I was going through. I do believe we need some photographs ,but honestly memories are made from what our eyes see,photo can just be proof or something to jog our memory but they can never be the actual picture.

  Many times even during holidays we are so busy clicking photos that we forget the eyes show us truely what Mother Nature actually looks like ,all her colours and beauty are so real ,not like the photoshopped version of the camera.when I go on a holiday I actually feel the camera can never do justice to how truely beautiful the place looks, but still we do click pictures coz we want others to see the beauty of the places we have been and how much fun we had,but honestly don't you wonder what the camera shows is it really the truth...though somewhere inside us we know the camera can never show our true feelings,it shoots what we want the world to see,but our eyes sees everything just the way things are they show us the beauty the ugliness the smile the tears everything just like the way it is .

 Eyes are gods best gift given to us ,god wanted us to enjoy the world and see the world the way god sees it ,so sometimes let's get out of the virtual world and enjoy the actual world .Like the video said let not look down at our electronic gizmos but look up at the beauty around us and cherish each moment ..
