Hola!
I know its been sometime since I wrote, but the IPL matches (especially the CSK ones) and my work is to be blamed :)
I have been consistently sleeping late because of the above two reasons and so no time for anything else. So what happened today that made me write. Well, it was this friend of mine who is leaving our Company and is planning to go for business, and something that was casually said on Friday somehow stuck with me. I am generally a person who isn't jealous of anyone or anything. Doesn't mean that I have got always what I wanted or somehow had less dreams and got them fulfilled or any of that crap. I am always content with what I have. I don't have huge dreams (not huge to me though). But I felt that I might feel jealous with this person for once. I never felt this green with J even when my friends got to travel to U.S from our company and I was about to go and at the last sec it got canceled and my first ever foreign trip didn't actually happen and I had to make it on my own to SG and KUL (you know all about that though) etc etc.. But when this person said that being a boss of my own, I would be sitting near Himalayas or Himachal (one of these) in a building overlooking the snow clad mountains and working on my own.... I just couldn't help but imagine it and think of how it would really feel to be in such a place.... I wish and hope that this dream of my friend comes true. But that is not my point of being J.
I have always loved snow and cold weather. I always wished to visit a place covered with snow sometime once in my life. (I even planned my U.S trip at that time, but eventually got canceled) There was once a time when I thought that my dreams will come true one by one. But well it wasn't planned by the Almighty that way. So my dreams have been postponed for a while now, except for a few which I can make it come alive, because it requires only my effort and only mine to make it true. But to make it to a place with snow covered peaks and playing in the snow, just sitting on the edge of a road watching the snow covered mountains and sun going down those peaks making them glow like diamonds.....hhmm... life isn't fair all the time right :(
I love beaches too and I have especially enjoyed my trip to Pondicherry... and Poompuhar where we had enough time to just sit and watch the sea.. Have you ever felt the calm that comes over you when you do nothing but listen to the waves and watch the small catamarans floating in that vast ocean. Nothing can bring you more peace than those water splashing sound and cool and yet warm breeze.
Now to the mountains, I remember the long walk I used to have with my friend in their house in Kaikatty (in between Conoor and Ooty) where there was a small tea factory and a few houses and everywhere you could see only the tea leaves in neat rows. When I had been there for 2-3 days it was a rainy season and imagine a house in between the tea estate with long never ending roads and rain drizzling upon you all the time :) It was heaven. The same time we had been to Ooty for a day for some reason and went for boating with the rain again :)
Doesn't mean that I haven't seen the good things of life isn't.. But I love being surrounded by nature especially the seas, the mountains, the green fields (I like the ones I happen to see when we travel to Pallasena) , the colored trees and the withering brown leaves, (we get to see these in Bangalore often in some areas still) and what is left is the snow clad mountains. I know I will see it too...but when ? Soon enough I wish and hope.... I will definitely let you know when I do that.. Life can be unfair..but there in lies the beauty of it isn't :). If everything was fair enough wouldn't it be boring ????
Ciao
