Picture perfect (Journey to Rotangpass)

Have you ever visited a picture ??? Or did it ever strike in your mind - that the place you have just arrived is exactly like a picture ???

I recall myself when I was in the 8th standard . Parents decided to celebrate Durga puja in the Himalayas . Yes I visited Kullu – Manali – The best part was my trip to Rotangpass.

Waking up in the lap of the Himalayas is a moment to cherish. You can breath the purest air. Stretching myself to yawn I peeped through the window . Its just morning … but a different morning indeed . In front – blocking the blue stood a naked mountain . I could see the white chills disappearing under the rays of the raising sun. The feet of the brown (mountain) was covered with green nature – A forest of pine cones … our hotel just at its edge.

I gulped in my breakfast and then it all began. Rotangpass was just a few kilometers from Manali but the welcoming ceremony (according to me) began when we left the town and headed for the paradise. Was it a picture we just entered ??? – Just an endless green bordered by the giants. The sky looked as its purest blue blushed by the feathery clouds. That was Amazing!!!

The real picture perfect spot was yet to come – I still remember our car strolling down a hill heading for a plane land. That was the real paradise moment for me. Just as our car inclined the angle , I just stared in amazement – A straight road (stretched for a few meters before its turn) was decorated by yellow leaves that were showered upon by the endless canopy on both sides … The wind blew it all from the canopies present on the top of the hill to the road we were traveling on. It was raining yellow – brightened by the blazing sun behind us.

I could hear a splashing – woosing rhythm … To check I edged a little and it all widened my eyes … splashes of water came down a rock (waterfall) forming small clouds under it. It went on as an endless stream that was glittering under the rays. That was absolutely beautiful …

A heart-throbbing experience was on its way – our car took the steepest road I’v ever seen - the road slithered itself to the top where lay – ROTANGPASS . It was preety scary and I couldn’t halt a chill run down my spine. The only thing that helped me withdraw my mind from the nightmare was the scenerio of the infinite ranges that peaked high and were smothered by the thick whites. Parachuting was on its craze – saw a lot of people gliding with they kites ;)

Yeah that was surely my visit to a PICTURE ;)

Kovalam beaches - heaven indeed :)

Sea beaches , sand and coconut trees – the best attributes you can get for a calm and cold environment.

I visited my best beach at the age of 10 – The Kovalams or better known as 4-beaches. Yes, Kovalam is famous for its four outstanding beaches one beside the other.

Enjoying the bite on a juicy pineapple I just strolled out in the open sand. Endless sea indeed – only two huge rocks blocked its infinity on the sides. The sun blazed high. I wetted my feet in the cold blue and felt it sipping in the sand. . Something tickled – I looked down to see strange white creatures … not crabs but bugs – smoothly slipping down my feet and disappearing in the sand.

Dad started capturing the moments in the camera while Mom just enjoyed the shade of our rented standing umbrella.

Kids are best when they are up to no good :P ……. Well I was not a bad kid myself. Still remember those funny moments when I threw the wet sand balls at my Dad and saw him throw them back at me… that was fun indeed.

Before we enjoyed the shrimps for lunch , Dad and I went swimming – Mom decided to stay dry. Huge waves (bigger than the ones I saw at Puri) really made it difficult for me to paddle. I just held on to Dad’s hand and enjoyed the splashes. Really cool !!!

But an incident still pinches at the corner of my mind  – A giant wave crashed on me and I almost drowned … All I remember is me searching for air within the glittering water … I was closing my eyes gradually when I saw a hand heading towards me … Holding on to it is the reason why I am still here documenting it to you. My dad pulled me up from the clutches of the nightmare. I soon panted off my pain – I don’t take much time to recover … The best part – I ain’t Hydrophobic :)

After lunch we went on trekking. Well !!! not a mountain but a hill … A forest of Coconuts … Amazing !!! Reaching its peak is the best way you can see the four sandy(s) … the entire Kovalam …… Picturesque !!!

Before leaving - parents thought of sipping in a little coffee. They were enjoying their drink when it started to drizzle (rain). The soft splashes along with the cold wind could not hold me back in the shade. I just ran till I felt the soft touch of the waves wetting my feet. The scenario still peeps in my mind … A never ending brine forming millions of ripples with the soft shower – The setting sun painting its rays on me while a grey cloudy sky bordered its (Sun) edge. The darkness drew in fainting away the light to welcome the approaching evening.

TELL ME YOUR BEACHYYYY EXPERIENCE :)

The real leader is you ......... (April 27, 2011)

Just close your eyes for a minute …

And look within yourself …

You’ll find a leader …

Its YOU itself …

Our soul is just innocent …

Tell it what to do …

If you know how to control it …

That’s the best you can do …

We should judge what’s right and wrong …

And take the good path … we’d dare …

If we avoid the bad things in life …

We’ll have a great world to share …

Its not just you and not just me …

It’s just the whole world …

I hope we all think twice about this …

Before our minds get curled …

If we once invoke within ourselves …

A feeling of love …

There would be no wars no violence …

Just a peaceful sky above …

Let us not think of boundaries or differences …

That divide this world in the end …

Lets make all … our friends and family…

But please DO NOT PRETEND :)

It was just a small experience I had ........ At mamabari ;)

I kept humming the song FIREFLIES by OWL CITY :D

MY HAPPY ENDING .......... :')

“Wake up dear … Hurry !!! wake up”. I heard my mom shivering . Dad said “We need to leave … NOW !!!”. I scratched my eyes while yawning away my sleep when I heard a blast. It pounded through my ears and I sat up immediately. It seemed so dark – It seemed so violent – as if the light had been snatched away from our world. It looked hazy due to the thick grey smoke that had spread out everywhere. The world was absolutely grey outside my window. All I could here were gun shots , rocket blasts and … screaming.

I felt my dad pulling me towards him and we fled … we fled out in the open – We were running for our lives. I saw him directing me towards a van – a military van. He threw me in and shouted “Buckle up”. I heard the engine roar.

My mom pulled me close when it speeded its maximum and disappeared within the ever increasing smoke. After few moments the smoke cleared itself through and I was able to see. What I saw left me dumb-struck. Guns – Missiles – bombs cracking everywhere  Everything stained in red – people lay dead – Several injured – everyone only ran for their lives. I heard dad say “This is it … THE WORLD WAR 3 begins” .”World war 3 ??? But how ??? when ??? why ???” – all these questions were striking in my mind when I felt a huge jerk.

The jerks continued … The van was scribbling itself through the road - striking at every moment. Suddenly a huge blow threw me off my balance and I fell against the van door. It loosened and flung open blowing me out. I trembled and hit my head in the dusty street and could only hear “Stop the van !!!” and another saying “ We cannot sir … We have to leave”. The voices and the roar vanished away at a distance. I knew that I was all alone – All alone to fight this pain … All alone to fight this fear.

I stood up scratching my head. It hurt – it bleeded. I could feel the blood staining my hand. There lay a silence all around me. It started to creep me out when – when I saw something strange. A few steps away stood a group of people. I couldn’t recognize their faces in the smog. But as it cleared I could see them – see them clearly. It was my family –  my relatives , my cousins , aunt , uncle ……. Everyone I loved. They all stood there smiling up at me. I moved to greet them … but they all disappeared like ghostly figures saturating in the smog.

My head hurt even more and the same thing happened again. This time they weren’t my family. They were my friends – My friends from old school (AAS). Everyone I remember … All of them. They looked at me with a calm smile on their faces. It seemed as if they were calling me. I couldn’t move – all I did was still myself to watch them vanish like puffed smoke.

I tried to calm myself . Tried to remove my fear when showers of gun shots shattered my ears. . I ran … I ran as fast as I could blocking myself from every corner. Taking successive turns on the road I sped up. I didn’t know where I went . All I wanted was to go someplace safe and silent away from this battle field. I ended up in front of a gate. It was joined with a building. I pushed myself in and ran towards the stairs on my left. I scratched – pulled – moved myself up till I reached a closed gate that blocked the next pair of stairs. I looked around and thought – “I know this place” … But I was too tired to recognize it. I ran through the long narrow passage and stopped in front of a room. Everything inside was nothing more than trash. Broken chunks of wood … broken window panes … blackened walls etc etc. I was too tired – panting I sat on a large wood chunk and closed my eyes. I supported my elbows on the wood in front and rested my heavy head.

I must have fallen asleep when I heard someone say – “Suku … Are you sleeping ? … Wake up “ I drooled – wasn’t sure what was happening. The moment I blinked my eyes open - a flash of light penetrated through - forcing me to shut them again. Blinking them several times my eyes finally adopted themselves to this strange brightness. I was inside a classroom. The benches – the blackboard were so well known.

Then again I heard – “Suku !!!”. I stared around to see who called – It was Ananya. She was right there - beside me. Then another one said “Hey Suku !!!” – It was Aniket speaking up to me.

“Cammon buddy !!! give me the biscuits I’m starving” … I could see Arunangshu flinging his hand towards me. I got up in amazement. But there was something unrealistic about them – Something not lively. I saw two hands grasping me by my stomach … my eyes rolled to see Sneha trying to tickle me – but I couldn’t feel it. I just saw her fingers wringling on me. I could hear Aditya giggle from behind. Then Tanya came by - flying a kiss at me and everyone I knew from my second school (IGHMS) just went on with their activities. It was our break time – I realized it and felt a bit relaxed.

But this strange scenario was somewhat uncomfortable … It was not real … It was hazy … It was ghostly … Terror crept in and I ran towards the passage when – I heard gun shots. The world that seemed bright few moments ago darkened again. I looked back to see darkness seeping in the classroom and everyone started disappearing one by one from all corners. Only my friends remained – staring at me and smiling . I could see tears in their eyes – but still they smiled at me. The second gun shot rang my ears and with that my friends turned smoke within the blink of an eye . Everything turned trash as it was when I had reached there. It was just a hallucination … What I saw – My family , my friends and … I recalled the faces of my teachers … It was nothing but hallucinations.

I could do nothing but shed a drop of tear. “I don’t wanna be killed … I don’t wanna be murdered … I only want to sleep – Sleep on the laps of god” – there was only one way to do that. I ran towards the end of the passage with all my breath until I saw the shrine of our school’s temple. The marble monument sparkled in my eyes . I could here Lord calling me while stretching his hands towards me. He had a sincere look on his face that produced a positive nexus between us........

I turned to see them trudging towards me – But I was not scared … Not depressed……  I was happy – Happy to realize that my parents were safe … Happy to see my family , friends and teachers for the last time … Happy to know that I still loved them ... Happy to think that LORD longed my presence ........

I pulled myself to the edges …  My hands loosened … I breathed in that cold breeze flowing past me - It was pure and devine - far away from those blood-thrirstly humdrums that had spread all around ......... 

The shots came closer than ever ... could feel it piercing through my eardrums ... I moved closer to the edges ... even more ...... I recalled back the faces I loved again and smiled wet ..........

All I saw was A SMALL RAY OF LIGHT -  dazzling through the smoke ....... A soft air swished me like a feather ... It was heavenly .......... AND FINALLY --- I CLOSED MY EYES  :)

Phew !!! It was only a dream my friends … Actually a nightmare ........ I saw it - the night before the election results came out (13 may,2011) … really an awesome nightmare … ;) ......... Well in the end Im here documenting my tale ... So it really is MY HAPPY ENDING ;)
