Normal journey became a trip

Experience of trip is always delightful and memorable because we spend a lot of time with nature during trip much time we live with nature. But imagine if the nature accompanies you in your normal journey! Then that journey itself becomes a delightful and memorable trip.                                          
Once, I experienced such journey.That journey was not at all arranged as a trip nor it was a long journey.I remember that it was 6th June and we all know that generally the climate is extremely hot during that time. That day too, the climate was extremely hot. I had to travel from Thane to Bhusawal. I started my journey from Thane in the afternoon at one o’clock. It was too hot to tolerate and we all were sweating and feeling very tired. Our train started in such climate and as it was arriving at the next station, we were experiencing various shades of nature. After an hour, the clouds started gathering and slowly became thick. Before Manmad station, the clouds became so thick that it seemed as if our train was entering a tunnel of dark black clouds.

When we reached Manmad, the thunder and lightnings started. After some time, heavy rain started, and as it was the first rain after summer,  there  was a very sweet  and charming smell of wet earth. The heavy rain continued with so much lightnings. Normally, we always see the lightning shining in the sky , coming down for some distance and vanishing, but that day, the zigzag lightnings were constantly coming from the sky on both sides of our train and going to the earth. Till that day,I had only heard the word dance of lightning, but that day, we experienced it for real.                                         
Afterward, when our train reached Chalisgaon, the rain stopped completely and there was tender sunlight of saffron colour. Because of rain, the trees were looking fresh green with saffron sunlight on them. Really, what a delightful scene it was! We were really drinking that scene with our eyes and storing it  in our memory.                                                                             



When our train reached Jalgaon, there was sunset and the darkness was growing fast. Yet there were clouds and some lightnings. It seemed as if the nature was covering itself in the blanket of clouds and like naughty babies, the lightnings were peeping through the blanket. At last we reached at Bhusawal, which was the end of my memorable journey.

Colours of the days

Yesterday,I met our family friend -a retired person- and as formality, I asked him that how he was, he started to complain about his retired life. His main complaint was that for him now every day was similar to another,no change, no zest. Even on festival also except for some time, the remaining day was very dull for him. While speaking, he referred that after retirement, his all days are of grey colour,and yes, I also agreed with him on the point that days also have colours and various shades.                       Even though grammatically,a day is a concept and so it has no colour, no shape,no size. Again logically, day after day comes and it makes a week, month,a year and our life goes on. So a day doesn't differ from other days. Yet practically we have experience that if on a day, the climate is cloudy for the whole day, everyone feels dull, and as grey colour is symbol o...

ON JANMASHTAMI

  It is believed that God always behaves ideal. So almost our all myths when tell us about God’s incarnation as a human being, they draw His character as ideal in His childhood and in young age also. Only,God Krishna is shown as behaving according to the age like a human being. From His childhood and in His throughout whole life, there is a mischievousness, which is very much liked by all human beings. Perhaps so, everyone feels more attachment for Krishna. Because, even in old age also even an ideal and disciplined human being likes mischievousness, though he himself could never behave so. In childhood, Krishna played fully with his friends, even stole curd and butter from milkmaid's houses with friends. At the same time, being God, he killed many monsters also. In young age, He played “Rasleela”with the milkmaid's. When He helped Arjuna to marry with His sister Subhadra, very mischievously he deceived Balaram. It means God Krishna is the best combination of God and human be...

Awful loneliness

- Few days ago, I saw a news on t.v.about Asha Sahani. She was living at Lokhandwala in Mumbai alone. Her son Rituraj  is working in America in IT field. It means economically it is very sound family. For one and half year, the son didn't contact her. After this one and half year, when he returned to his mother's home, he found his mother's skeleton, lying on bed in her bedroom. No one knows when she died. What a shocking news! Death in such loneliness! Very horrible! For so many days no one in this world noticed her death!                                                                             ...
