An unplanned trip

Hey, it's yours truly in the centre, with Sunny on your right and Nikhil is the third one. We had visited Damdama lake on that day. It was turning out to be a boring Sunday. I was sure of not touching any book. Sunny and Nikhil didn't want cricket, for a change. So we had this sudden trip to the lake.
The place is in Gurgaon district, some 50 kms from our house in Safdarjang Enclave. It was a typical hot summer day. But the very thought of visiting Aravallis kept us going. And when I told the two dudes that our mobiles shall be on roaming there, I could see excitment in their eyes. Everything was very exciting, very pleasant. Even the weather gods came to party with us. So much so that we had a boating session - although the summer season made the lake look more like the water stretches that we see during train journeys, with buffaloes giving us company, from a distance.
Sunny and I even did some 'mountaineering' and reached a height of around 100 feet :)
On the way back, the laddoos and maththees were icing on the cake.....

Sometimes, unplanned events can spell magic. I felt recharged due to this trip, with all the mental fatigue gone.

India - 2 Nations in One

Walking through the streets
Often do I smile, with a tear in my Eye.

Inequality galores.
And I do get nightmares, That it Is here to stay.
But we have achieved, too.
That is something i can proudly say.
Sometimes the smile hides the tear,
Sometimes it is the other way.

Confused often as I am
Do wonder, what lies ahead.......
Glorious years to come,
Or fight for water and bread.

But then my heart speaks up
This is OUR country
and We have to keep it pious
Come what may.


I wrote these lines a couple of years back, and chose them to represent me in my Orkut and Facebook profiles. Now when I feel like changing the profile, these lines are too valuable to be lost. Hence, you see my creation in this blog.
