My Ask to Mountains

This shot was taken from Bedni Bugyal, Himalaysn Alipne Meadow, elevated at a height of 3354 Meters in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand State of India. It falls on the way to Roopkund near Wan village.  Magnificent views of Mt. Trishul (elevation of 7120 Meters) can be shot from Bedni Top.  Let me be one like you Oh mighty mountains Is that a big ask to make ? Unweathered by the endless storms, the rainy splash and the lightening flash You stood tall and strong against all odds Let me be one like you Oh mighty mountains Is that a big ask to make ? Pink, blue, orange and red, the sky has endless hues But its only when a mountain is added Completes the views Let me be one like you Oh mighty mountains Is that a big ask to make ? Your love for river has been evident But it cuts through your heart And you let her leave you Only to realize that you have her more When you let her flow Exactly the way a relationship should work Let me be one like you Oh mighty

Life in Indonesia

The view of Mother Krakatoa Mountain from the top of Child Krakatoa Mountain. Intrigued by the fact that travelling teaches a lot, I took up another venture to make Jakarta my home for the next 8 months. So the plan was that I would be travelling to Jakarta initially for a month for the preparatory and assessment phase, come back to India for 2 weeks and then travel again for the next phases of the project. The plan sounded right; It would give me time to know about the country, weather, food and people and help me pack my stuff for the longer stint in a better way. It was a Yes from my side. I was ready for the new experiences in the world’s biggest archipelago country, Indonesia. Finally the ticking of clock came to an end and I boarded my Malaysian Airlines flight. During the transit period at the Kuala Lampur Airport, I made sure to check out the airport and the duty free shops (always my best activity to kill time at the airports).   I was stunned by seeing the number

How Reviews Are Shaping Your Business

Image
In olden days when communication technology was still not accessible, businesses relied on "Word-Of-Mouth" publicity , which was considered more credible than conventional advertising. Relate that word-of-mouth publicity to the modern day online review platforms such as Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor, Zomato, JustDial, etc. which are driven by customer generated content. With internet, word-of-mouth got wings to fly and reached every palm which holds a smartphone. Today, whether it is booking a movie ticket, selecting a restaurant or hotel, purchasing a gadget, or even selecting a hospital for a planned surgery, we all look for reviews before we make a decision. The Jio effect and the telecom and mobile revolution in India have made internet so handy and affordable that it has actually helped us go one step further in digitalizing our economy. With this ease of internet accessibility it is no wonder that people value online reviews and feedbacks like never before. A r

Saudi Arabia Through My Eyes

Image
Sitting on my hotel room couch and sipping a self made black coffee at 2 AM in the morning, I decided to pen down about my 6 months long stay in Saudi Arabia in Jeddah City. A lot has already been said and written about the biggest country of the Arabian Peninsula, but today I don’t want to talk about the country’s strict Sharia Law, life of women in the Kingdom, the Wahhabi Islam that is followed in Saudi Arabia or any other controversies and negative opinions associated with this country.    Today I just want to pen down my experience about this country. Closing the eyes towards the political and economical jargons, the issues and luxuries of the elite and powerful, the mysteries and secrets of the holist place of Islam, I just want to show you this country through the eyes of a 26 year old Non-Muslim commoner.    Six months back I got official confirmation on the on-boarding for a new onsite project in Saudi Arabia. A new girl was introduced in my current project as my rep

Something More Than Money

Something More Than Money Seeing the world as the same way as, it is I see people being busy like honeybees Just spending their time to earn money Finally finding themselves without any Not that its wrong but its too strong This strength of their routine crushes them and this is what is wrong Money is needed I agree But its the only thing, this is what I disagree I respect your selflessness of earning for your family But its not your money it is you, whom they want finally Take out some time and look after your health As it is your biggest wealth Spend some time with your family and friends Check out what is there in new trend The beauty of life lies in little things Just get out of this monotony and spread out your wings Just feel the air it is worth to be felt  Taste this ice cream before it gets melt.

Live In Present

Live In Present Some questions are answered Some puzzles are solved But still there are some codes, encoded and some riddles unsolved When mind goes back in the realm of memories Some cherish-able and some which makes us worry Then I ask a question not to someone but to Me, Do I have to regret for what I chose ? Because in some or the other way it made myself, 'Me'. The time will not revert back only the learnt lessons will count Neither you nor me some or the other day will be found. Its important that we live in present and forget the past Because nothing in this world is going to last. What goes off does not matter What comes will definitely matter Just believe in your wings even though everything else is shattered.
