Ulfat.. Love to be with! <3


Dost aksar puchte hain
Akhir tu rehta kahan hai?
College tu aata nahi
Job tu karta nahi
Late hi sahi
Par aaya to kar
Muh dikhayi karke chale jaa!

Mene koshish to bahot ki
Par kese batau
Apni iss ulfat ke baare me
Uff kitni badi hai ye!
Dar-asal,
Kasoor sab us neend ka hai
Jo apne khubsurat khwabo ki baahon me
Mujhe jakde rehti hai..
Or jab neend khulti hai
Bewafa alarm ghadi ki suiyyon
Thakur ki muchon ki tarah
Do me dus ki der dikhati hain!
Aur galti se uth bhi jau waqt pe
To gaadi ka tel ditch kar deta hai..

Kabhi kabhi
Apni girlfriend ko
Badi minnaton se manata hu
Par ye traffic
Huh,
First lecture miss ho jata hai..
Aur baki ke teen lectures se
Teacher bhaga dete hain!

Aur meri badnasibi to dekho
Muddaton bad
Jab time pe college pohnchta hu
Tab class nahi lagti
Aur..
Aur agar class lag bhi jaye
To kambkhat attendnce nahi hoti.

Aaj fir bade dino bad aaya hu college
Wo bhi time pe
First lecture bhi attend kiya
Or attendence bhi mili

Ssshhh..
Ab aage ki dastaan
To Be Continued!
Lecturer aa gaya hai
Class attend karlu..

Yes, I Conquered The World !

Himmat Sodhi, one of my dear friends, used to tell me alot about Jaam Gate and I always wondered what and how is it! Finally, Rishi, Sam & I decided to explore it and reached Mhow!

After having delicious parathas in our breakfast at Himmat's place, we began our adventure trip to Jaam Gate & Choral.

[Waha ek Great Wall of Mhow bhi thi :D]

Around 4kms from Mhow, we stopped at a filling station at Bargonda, to make sure our bikes contained enough fuel & air! Before we could got on our bikes, Himmat told us about Nakhedi Dam who himself had never been there! It was just 1km from the station. So we decided to go there! 

Nakhedi was a small dam with some natural beauty around so we moved on to our way to Choral which was some 5kms away. The way to Choral village was beautiful. Small lakes and streams, landscapes but that was just the beginning! On reaching Choral, all we heard were waves hitting the banks and I humming the lines, ''Saare gharonde ret k.. Lehre aayi.. Lehron me beh gaye..''. 

We photomaniacs reached its shore, clicking a number of pictures, sat on a stone for a while and enjoyed the breeze! In some time, we again got on our bikes and moved towards Jaam Gate, the final destination. 

Those never ending narrow roads with so many turns and twists seemed so awesome that I wished to stop my bike and spend my entire evening doing camping, playing guitar, if only I knew how to playit!:D 

 

How can I forget to mention that small accident we survived and the madness of clicking and capturing every single moment! Yes, our riders, Sam & Rishi, were so lost in speeding their bikes up that Rishi & I almost collided with a van. But luckily, we were saved but Rishi got some scratches on his neck from a tree.

We, the chatter boxes, dint spoke a word on our way thereafter because we were so lost in the beauty of nature that we didnt realised when we reached Jaam Gate!

It was awesome, extremely mindblowing and fantabulous when we looked around. We saw those hills touching the sky, clouds beneath our feet. We felt like we have conquered the world!

There wasnt anything written about its history but all I came to know that it was constructed for security and Devi Ahilya Bai used to stay there during her way to Mandleshwar Temple. We climbed the stairs and I have no words to explain how I felt when I reached its top. We sat their for an hour or so discussing about our lives. Yeah, I know that was a heavy and mature thing but yes we did talked about it!

It was such an awesome day. I always wanted to go the Grand Canyon, Palau Islands, Spain but never had an idea I'm gonna do it soon!

If you too wanna have the feeling of Rang De Basanti, feeling of conquering the world you must visit Jaam Gate. You definitly gonna overcome all your fears. But make sure your rider is talkative enough or take some crazy people along with you to make most out of such a trip!

 

In Love With Chai [Bar]

Looking out of window with a cup of tea in hand n thinking what makes me so crazy about this place is the only thing happening in my life these days.

24 January 2012 8:32 pm was the moment we entered in. things were still under construction as the scheduled opening was on 26th Jan 2012.

We were walking like any usual day. calculating the length of 56 area with our steps.  Suddenly a flex board appeared in front of me that said “The Chai bar”.
‘The Chai Bar’ What kinda name is this?, was my first reaction when i heard the name and my curiosity bug started itching me from inside. And as it would happen in any similar situation we decided to explore this strange place.

We entered in an entirely different interior concept. Every corner is unique in itself. Lavish bar counter in the left accompanied by long stools.

Giving you an awesome feeling of bar environment. Wooden tables lined up in a row in the left corner, golden aura spread around  by the golden dim lights and classy music adding to the mood.

You look up and it seems like someone just snapped your tea table and pasted it on the ceiling flipped vertically.

After spending almost all my evenings here at chai bar since last 4 months, the craze still continues. I always wonder if its the ambience, my frnz or jst the chai. Groups of ppl chating giggling together!

Another loving thing about the place is variety of chai n my favourite the Wada Pav. One cannot realise how time passes away. “Velapanti bhi jaruri hai!” ’cause its really strange for one to travel 10 kms to have a cup of tea.. daily! Insane people you see :p

I’m eagerly waiting for monsoons to appear again going to chai bar, sitting near the window, looking outside, feeling the bliss of rain with a cup of tea in my hand n thinking what makes me so damn crazy about this place!
