Year 2019 it was..

Year 2018 ended with a trip to Udaipur and Mount Abu, a perfect start of 2019. However, not much trips after that.

Then work wise, said good-bye to lovely chaotic aamchi Mumbai and moved to Amma Bengaluru, first impression: lovely weather, then did trip to Medikeri Coorg in April, and weekend trip to Wayanad in July, then a all nighter trip to Nandi Hills in October. and couple of home calling trips, a big decision and rest of year went quietly.

Merry christmas. St. Patrick's church mg road BLR

Got a new phone in September, yes iPhone again- 8. Ecosystem syndrome I guess. :)

While entire nation was busy with Article 370,-  a good thing for J&K? I'm not so sure. Lok Sabha election,- Modi wave did put him on the throne once again NRC and Citizen Amendment Bill,- Assam people faced a lot on it at the beginning of the year then at the end of year it was like across the nation, Blame the elephants - this beautiful Quora answer gave the history around it;

Here I was sitting quietly in my single room with ultra speed wifi- trying to see if I could do anything about the chaos across the nation due to NRC or attack on CRPF or banning triple talaq or verdict on Ram mandir Ayodhya or Hyderabad gang rape, and then ISROs partial successful launch of Chandrayaan-2 to the moon BUT I did some progress learning to code with Python and R language, seems like I have still a long way to explore projects or building automation tools.

Health-wise, not so good. Back pain & neck pain was so intense, had to visit a doctor. He told me I have some form of Arthritis- called Spondyo-arthritis due to HLA B27 Positive. Means I am on medication right now, at least for couple of months. Doctor says be more active. Pain? still the same after a month.

Now that the year went by just fine, added just 9 blogs here. I know not much, I plan to write a blog a week but as they say plans are plan right? without execution they are nothing but hope. Also someone said 'hope is a good thing' so let's welcome the new year 2020 with open heart and with open minds.

peace.. 

no fight, yes harmony

Dear, we have come a long way,
into an arduous journey with the nature;
co-existing together in peace without a harm..

put things into perspective I recon;
we have won our surroundings trust
then why fight with your own descent?

I say open your arms;
not to fight but to hold for a path for your own..

such a simple life... somewhere in Nepal, off national highway build by Japanese... from my cycling trips...

void

the dark web of my existence
scattered petals in thin air of my dream
cold my heart, misty eyes scream
can I ask for a hand to fill the void?

sleepless nightmare, drifting in unknown
how can I live outside your love, my dear?

#insomnia #void

somewhere at the top - Nandi Hills Bangalore

your own little world!

that backyard far from the noises
serenity or a vibe that makes you
smile and love yourself: that world around you!

hold that thought very close to you my friend!!
and make it That moment
that
gives you hope
gives you strength to follow yourself
blurring dimming all the noises!!

#insomnia #again #hope

Hope is one of the best of best of the things

pick your struggle

Dear, no matter how beautiful the path is,
there are always struggles.

the beauty is in choosing which struggle to fight for!

#insomnia

pick your struggle.
*from one of the beautiful roads during my cycling trip - in Nepal, from Kathmandu to East-West highway.  

the soulmate!

they come, they go
the game goes on and on

does meeting someone throws you off the mark?
your hearts pound and hands shake?
he is the one, the soulmate-
you will say for sure

and one day, another wave comes
you feel completely calm
y'll say 'is the one, the soulmate

the game goes on and on!!

#insomnia

the soulmate

a gift

this is not beautiful because it is so,
it is because
of you and me
even in absolute wilderness,
like a distant storm you are within me.

like a magic, hits my face this cold breeze
this top, i close my eyes, everything fades away
reminding me that;
when you are afraid, then only you can be brave
when you don't give up, you don't fail

so this beautiful feeling you have showered upon me,
to perceive a thing as beautiful as you,
this is a gift...
i will always carry within me with all my heart with me...

From a tour of Coorg..... at the top of Mandalpatti...

who am I?

way far from the promises, affairs...

I stand tall with you,

without searching the past for redemption....

in my heart I keep you,

secretly...

You the flower and I the shadow,

of yours or to your...

without knowing you, who am i?

I have never known exactly....

maze

that part of you that looks for drama -

that part that creates your own maze -

that no one can find that other end.

and that part of you that doesn't agree with your view of the world -

so anxiously you built a maze around you.

my dear, that illusion is a waster of time and energy -

that locking your door on that someone, you dream of rushing back -

that lost moment is gone, never to come back again.

keep yourself open or I say, loose the other end of the maze - 

you never know, hearts gets smitten in crazy ways...

#insomnia, #maze

#Mumbai... lost under the maze of towers..

Dear mind

Dear mind, such a loner, always on the move
like a wave seeking the shore

While the day ceases, ocean wraps the sun in her lap,
I wonder;
there are people,
who are the journey, not the destination.

How can you live outside this love?

A lovely evening at Marines lines Mumbai.....
