How a helmet saved me First of all I must tell that till 24th April 17, around 7 O’clock in evening I had have hardly given any respect to the helmet we wear while driving vehicle. I was damn too careless. I also cycle in weekends with the whole costume and accessories on, but not the good helmet. Surely wearing helmet has other discomforts but it is meant for a different and an important purpose, of your safety. It takes few moments to change your entire perspective. It’s when you learn and it gets embedded in your vibe that it needs no revision anymore. I wonder how come I have passed this much of my life with this illusion. I worry when I think how many more lies must be there? Yesterday, I asked Manoj for his bike to go to Atharva & I had told him that I will be getting back by 6 anyhow. Atharva is 10kms ride from my office. It is our franchisee. However I got late kicking back the CBZ. So at around 7, I started in hurry with the helmet on. To my surprise as I ...

“Namaskar” is one thing people use frequently in Pune. It is also frequently used in Nagpur, one of the three cities where I lived after graduation.  Namaskar is something when greeted, it means the person who is speaking meant “The infinity within me respects the infinity within you”. It means while speaking Namaskar; we find divinity in the second person and within us as well. Namaskar to you!  Today we rode towards Lohegaon one of the other ends of the city. It is already March with sun at its nearest to earth. So we decided to wake up early and ride in the cooler & darker roads, purpleness in the stars filled sky and the silent paths. That’s when you meet with the reminiscent soul of the age old yet strong city in silence with divinity. I didn't realize it would be that cold.    I had my cycle washed off till it shone nicely and then oiling; that helped me paddling. Well Badri, this time, I will take the credit of waking you up at 4:45. While riding I to...

Today I have had a cycle trip to one of Pune’s attraction, Sinhagad Fort.   It was my third such trip since living in the historic city. The trip was around 70 Km cycling which also includes 12 km of walking and dragging your cycle through the steep Mountains. We actually started 50 minutes late than the preplanned 7:20AM. I woke up late. Badri was the co traveller; he woke me up at 7:30AM. I chose to wear half cargo & a half T shirt & of course the shoes. I also carried one extra T shirt. Sunlight was blissful at the starting & weather was cold when I left home in the morning from Salunke Vihar, Pune. We chose to travel through our common meeting point Fatima Nagar. We got tyre pressure tested and kicked through Swargate to Sarasbagh nearing to Khadakwasla dam. It should be 9:30 AM till then. Sun was going to start hitting. Since it was Sunday, traffic will be bringing up in the scenic Khadakwasla dam & to the Fort at the top of mountain. We decided to move t...

It’s like the city is dead There is sun and the sunshine There are vehicles downsides There are buildings but in silence I wonder where the birds are The city will soon rise into chaos And into unknown delusion Of ego and competition There will be rush & there will be fight Well Among them will be writers, poets And story tellers With an aim to aware people Of love, brotherhood and togetherness Of the borderless states While the countries are preparing for war And genocides And dead people ignoring this fact Not raising their voices Because Bollywood and Hollywood exists Because TV and soap operas exists And people don’t have time They feel safer in their nests Watching politicians to make important decisions On their behalf huh... Well wait Wait until the compass points at you Wait…

Well, there is my mind with not so many different of thoughts in it right now. I guess they are taking a break. Enlightened thus, I am wondering, where are all those special feelings & happening moments and why is that it doesn’t depends on me to have a command on them. At times it strikes me that we do have the command on these, just that we are not courageous enough to make important decisions that rise from the depth of our heart. Sometimes we go on back foot and try to save ourselves in choosing to live in our comfort zone, although for a short time. Well we are never going to get satisfaction out of it, unless and until we happen to like the thing we chose. There are decisions I have made that I have regretted and there are some which I have rejoiced with, although I never realized and much pondered upon them. Life is busy. At times, looking back and learning from them is fruitful and is an answer to your inner complex thoughts in a way. Yes, pondering too deeply on them i...

Well, what is the tragedy of the world? Scientists and the modern world now have been venturing to the outside world, to the galaxies and the infinite space. We are invisible in the vastness of the universe. What we have discovered is that the Earth is not flat, that the earth revolves elliptically around a big star Sun. As we revolve, day and night occurs and season changes and we live through. We also discovered that the entire galaxy we are in is rotating clockwise and that whole is moving at the Himalayan speed to an ultimate attractor. But there is lot of empty space. We are 99.99% just empty space at electronic level. So who is God, what he is and what he wants? What is the concept behind God? We humans created it at earth level. We created so many of it and indent its independent concept in our convenient way of living life. Spiritually, we should see God in other human being, as we defined. But we are busy in killing and hating others based on caste and religion. A...

What I love most about morning, Is the sereneness and the silence Is the gentle pure air Is the dimness of surrounding Are the red and black clouds Are the traffic less empty roads  Is the blissful bird chanting Is the taking over of light over dark  Is the resounding echo from the mosque, That prayer touch me Morning, birth, genesis Morning is the time, People are energetic but quiet While some carry the troubles of the past It's time to move on And accept the brightening day Good Morning!
