My Intro to Adventure Sports


I always had a dream to go close to nature without falling in a kind of Solitude.
...getting introduced to Trekmates straightaway did that for me. Thanks! Varun, it was you who deserved a pat for my voila!!

It all started with my intro to a group to which one of my colleague Prabir was already a part of.. (how lucky it really is to be with your buddies even after you complete your studies and continue to your work-life; that too in one of the best paying Industry, i.e, IT services--God bless America!!!) I really miss my friends and those days when we had a share of all kind of adventures that, till the time we experienced, were just a fantasy!

Enough history! So, here I'm, planning a trip with a group of complete strangers. I quickly scanned through the existing contacts who could be with me for my comfort..got just one (getting him is another story alltogether) Mr. Sunil Mishra. Thank you buddy for agreeing... So, after a long long time I spent sufficient time with (.. otherwise one of the most hated tool I possess) my Mobile Phone. Now I understand what a good use of materialistic possession is all about! So, here is everything arranged and I shoot for the trip with 16 other guys and gals from Pune. Around 40 more would be joining us from Bombay..(any objections..coz I like it better than Mumbai).

The Location is VihiGaon; a small village near Kasara Ghat en route to Mumbai-Nasik Highway.


Long Story cut-short..It was one of those experiences that will remain with me for my life-time.. One regret however, is that, I was not there with my pals. May be that's what lyf is all about.. Moving-on!!

Love to you all.
Me

Muhabbat ki ek aur Daastaan!

Soul Curry-timeslife. TOIM/2010/04/18 And they lived happily... NOW their story can be told... Gautam has returned home, cheerful and happily married. He has lost some hair though, and put on a few kilos. But that cannot be helped, after six months of sustained radiation and chemotherapy sessions. We were always worried about Gautam, not so much for his health as for his being perennially “accidentprone”. That was the expression my wife had reserved for him for the way he used to fall in and out of love. Women, no doubt, found him handsome and flipped for him at first sight. But having known him for over 20 years, I knew that for all his charming ways and dashing looks, he was actually an old-fashioned bloke and painfully self-righteous — a trait many of his girlfriends found rather off-putting. So when Sandhya walked out of an Internet portal and into his life, we were pleasantly surprised. They had a small engagement ceremony in Delhi. The marriage would be fixed once Sandhya g

Is the relationship really worth it?

Read/ saw some important lessons on relationship and intimacy.. a presentation by Elizabeth Gilbert , author of Eat, Pray, Love.  Really worth a deep contemplation! The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid. Both Schopenhauer and Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state an individual will find themselves in relation to others. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and
