Scariest pathway in the world

Wooow.. found this in Abhi’s blog … and was really captivated by it. The guy who shot the video has done an amazing work. I believe he is wearing a head camera. Anyhow  the view is mesmerizing. Makes me want to do all this stuff at some point in my life. Lets hope my trip to Canada manages to give me some opportunity for some kind of adventure sports, even if not this adventurous. Definitely scary, but definitely interesting too

FACT : Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an approach to makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.

A dream that feels so real…

 

“Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?“

This statement from “a Beautiful mind” always gives me the goosebumps and leaves me gagging for a reality check on all the beatiful things in my life. As rightly said, what if all the friends, the beautiful time you spent with them, all the places you have been to, the moments you cherished the most, what if one day you were to wake up and realise that it was all a dream (The Matrix!!!). How the hell do you find out that the reality as you know it really is the reality as it ought to be, and not just an aneiric reality! How do you know “The Matrix” is just a science fiction and not the real deal??

For my part, I can’t even seem to distinguish between a dream (in this dreamy reality??) and reality sometimes. Except that when something goes horribly wrong in the dream, I just keep trying to wake up and remind myself that this HAS to be a dream, and is not real… and poof! I wake up . I hope that is the case with life as well and when something goes horribly wrong, I wake up and realise I was only having a nightmare. I guess for now, all that I can possibly do is try  to live life as it is (whether real or fictitious) and try to cherish all that I am experiencing in this possible dream of the (just possibly) heavenly beings out there. (“Stranger than Fiction” anyone )

Woh din…

Finally my first Blog! Been planning this since loooooong actually… but never quite had the time to do this (I am in my office right now ).  Anyways, there was a plethora of events that lead to this blog.. but I will skip those for later and only state the final nudge.

I was going through Jassi’s blog and I was instantly transported to those merry days of college. Many of my close college friends have recently parted from me after 4 years of joyfully living together. Hence off late I have been missing them (despite not really being alone… infact quite the contrary). Having spent so much of time with them for so many years, I think college friends become more of a habit.

To wake up in the morning at the shout of one of them, “Uth ja <adjective>, class miss ho jaayegi <profs common name> ki“, sitting with them throughout the day, staying up late in the night talking of absolutely arbit/senseless/sometimes sensible/important/philosophical things in life, enjoying festivities with them, listening to rock at any time of the day/year.. I am beginning to miss all that much more than I missed home when I first went to hostel (or maybe I have forgotten that.. don’t remember). But those days shall never return in my life. Woh weekdays pe 12 baje uthna, DP’s mein khud hosh mein reh ke auron ko peelana, Inder ke kamre mein balcony se jhankna (Yo Jassi/Keede!), Holi pe colgate smile aur phati baniyan ka pradarshan, Diwali pe kamre ki safayi, raaton ko jaag ke headbanging/movies/serials dekhna, endsem mein halat tight hona, Seniors se funde lena, juniors ko funde dena , woh first year mein manthan ka enthu, aur fir hag dena, Ponker ke khatte jhelna, keede ki maarna, group study karna, Hostel band ke saath gaane bajana, the R-squad and its conquests, Techniche/Alcher pe raaton ki mehnat.. all these moments are forever etched into my mind now and shall never go away.

Guys, whoever stumbles upon this blog and manages to read it.. I hope we always stay in touch despite the distances that may separate us. Wish you all the very best in your professional lives.
