बुरा ना मानो होली है

Probably my last holi with my college friends...Needless to say had a ball...Actually i am at loss of words to describe the day but then who needs words when u have memories engraved onto your hippocampus..!!!(the part of brain regulating memories)
Completely merging with the colours,were the emotions,little moments...Some of them which i want to treasure;and many which i want to forget but its difficult..
Friends, i am gonna miss you so much;as much as i shall miss getting drenched in the colourful water...

MY WEEKEND "JAMMIN.."

No i am not taking my guitar lessons...Just a trip to JAMNAGAR...a city in saurashtra part of GUJARAT..
My friend invited me over for the weekend..its not a very big city..actually just a transition from rural to urbanhood... but then being "natural" has its own advantages..waking upto the sweet sound of birds felt more like heaven..The whole serenity of the place in the evening made me yearning for some more days;so that i could stay back..But as they say excess of everything is too bad..I started missing the hustle buslte of ahmedabad in just 2 days..!!!
Coming to think of it,one person just calms all the commotion churning inside me..EINSTEIN..and his theory of relativity..and how??Actually..When my cousins came to my place from MUMBAI they had the same feeling that i experienced;trying to figure out how things work in a smaller city than urs..Back then i kept moaning about the city i live in..
Today after my childhood and teen,i'm quite happy and proud that i'm destined to be here in Ahmedabad(touchwood)..its not as big as the metros but it isnt anymore the "kheda gaon" my cousins teased me with..(whatever that means)..All above the rest its where i've learnt to live life...They are right"size does matter"..metros teach you how to earn money and cities like mine,let u spend and enjoy it to your heart's content..
Although i do plan to spend some professional years in mumbai,when it comes to "spend" the rest of my life..there's no place on earth like "maru amdavad"..
Not sure when i shall seriously take up guitar lessons(which i intend to after my post graduation),but this weekend stroke the right chord...

PIC(K)NIC OF THE DAY

Well finally it was goodbye to books and work;atleast for this month..Nothing better than a cool day out closer to the nature...So 12 of us decided to explore the fun and frolic...
We went one day trip to KABIRWAD and KEVADIA COLONY...
Started out early at 5.45 am...
I think that pic says enough...the beginning was beautiful and serene...
Went to kabirwad which is basically a huge banyan tree spread into GOD knows how many kilometres..Besides we were more happy with the 2 cricket matches and a ferry ride to and fro...

I however got the privelege to ride on the horseback,coz i was humbled down by 2 consecutive asthmatic acute attacks...Well thats me...i guess i love thrill too much...
Then of course we went to KEVADIA COLONY,which is a place where the the greatest dam of asia is under construction...The SARDAR SAROVAR PROJECT ON NARMADA RIVER....
If that wasnt enough to know its importance,the mechanism was just awesome..To think of Brain Drain i guess its right...I would just sum it up as an excellent example of engineering skill and intellect...



Finally to end the day we had a memorable moment captured onto the manmade device called "camera"...(thank God its digital,for it to be instant!!!)
