VAISHNAV DEVI-Come, Now is the Time to Worship

"Whatever you can believe,
You can achieve."

Well, life was getting so bored that even the weekends seemed to be dull.
Then, I realized that it’s definitely not worth , so I took so called break from work
for about one week to have togetherness with family members.

Well, I heard lot and sometime have seen in the movie about
"Chalo Bulawa Aya Hai Mata Ne Bulaya Hai" for Vaishnav Devi.

This time we planned to go for Vaishanv Devi.

Well, my journey started like that I had flight on 13th from Kolkata to Delhi and on the other side office work also had to manage as it was bit stretched.
I left office late to catch the flight .When, I reached to Kolkata Airport I have seen Bollywood star Rani Mukharjee but, as I was late so I rushed to the Air Sahara counter to get the boarding pass ultimately got to know that flight is delayed 40 Mins.
As, Flight got delayed so, I reached to New Delhi late night and on the very next early morning I had to start for Jammu along with family. We had train from Delhi to Jammu in the morning.
It was nice journey from Delhi to Jammu .We reached to Jammu in the evening on 14th April 2007.I heard name of Jammu lot of times but have seen also.

We booked an AC cab to start from Jammu station to Katra....huh… it was AC cab but it didn’t seem like that.Now , we were on the way to Katra which is around 50 Km. from the Jammu.
On the way there were security forces as the area is sensitive for terrorist attack about which I have heard or seen in the television ,really I saw some security forces in attention .
Really, they are great and I salute to our Army forces.
Katra is a small town and is located in a high altitude and in the hilly region.
The half of the route from Jammu to Katra was pathetic and quite dangerous turnings because of Hill area. As, we reached to Katra everybody got exhausted and everone face were saying that take a break man and have sound sleep will start in the morning.............
but we decided it's better to start for uphill ascent in the night not in the morning.
So, finally after getting fresh and having dinner we set off to Vaishnav Devi around 12:30 night and we said ‘Jor se Bolo Jai Mata Di’.

Well, We had to climb up 13 Km for Vaishnav Devi Darshan and really it was not easy task....first 3 Km with full enthusiasm and then we started think hmmm… how come we will walk more 9 KM.Really, I had never ever thought that I can walk 13 Km.

While mountaineering, I also captured the moment of bliss in my camera.We were climbing up, taking rest keep walking.....If we take rest after sometime and some person crosses I thinks if that guy can walk then why not I so..again start and like that we reached to destination in the morning 6 O’clock. If, I think now I don't believe how I walked so long…Anyway, Dad & Mom also walked so long ...really that's quite amazing and really tough job but nothing is impossible in this world this proves that.

Lot of devotee were walking and keep walking and on the way guys were keep saying
‘Jor Se Bolo Jai Mata Di....’on reaching out there, the experience was totally a different. Morning time chanting view of the valleys, filled with green trees, chirping sounds of the birds, echoes of the Jai Mata Di all along the path, really it was awesome!

Finally, for Darshan of Vaishnav Devi inside the cave we hardly have to stay for awhile may be for seconds...and it's not for me only...it was for every devotee (excluding VIPs, Celebraties, and our Leaders).
Now after Darshan...again have to come down huh again 13 km have to walk but this time even there was the bright afternoon we came downhill very fast I think in 5Hrs ...only....wow great.

We got bushed that as we came to hotel everyone of us preferred to have bed instead of have dining table......he he he he… :-) .
Next day we started for Jammu from where we had to catch the train and that way Vaishnav Devi Darshan end up.

Anyway whether it be visiting to religious place or
any adventurous place I like travelling interminably and for me It was a great time as I had been with family during this trip. The best part was that being togetherness which we get hardly in today’s life.

All in all I would say that it is worth seeing and admiring far away from the madding crowd, unending sounds of the modern machines and vehicles.

My Mom believe lot in the God and that's why at this old age also she climbed 13 Km up for darshan and came down as same speed as we guys walked which conclude that

"Whatever you can believe, you can achieve."

Weekend

"Weekends are a bit like rainbows;

they look good from a distance

but disappear when you get up close to them.”

As the Firday knocks in the week and you will say now weekend...After working hard five days or working hardly on these five days...he he he Weekend ....TWO days to have complete relax.Friday is the day when people gets in mood of weekend after lunch break...and say..oh..Thank god.... Week End is about to start.

Those who have lot of work....have to decide whether weekend is going to spoil or what to do to escape from work on weekend.

I believe that WORK HARD and put 100% on these five days and have complete relax two days what do you say guys isn't it great idea .

So, it's better to work five days sticking as a worm with your computer and not to take many Tea or Coffee breaks and waistng in gossiping with colleagues at work otherwise you will end up working on weekends and you would be blaiming to boss that why did he give me lot of work and have pull on weekends.

Lets talk about positive side of weekends .Weekend for different people mean different things.Some of the guys want to watching movie and rocking and rolling in the bar .

Some of guys sleeping and it seems balancing those last 5 days when they've not slept properly as Boss was coming to dream and was keep knocking to complete your task...........he he he he :-)

Some of guys who has girl friend start SMS from morning saying 'Hey GM n watzs plan for 2day'and keep SMSing till the end of day until unless they don't see another.

Some guys say 'Hey lets go to Shopping malls even don't have to shop anything but hey come on will go and do time pass over there'.

Some of guys like me ...be at home and take sound sleep and browse and like that days end up.

I am sick or you can say crazy about this ......keep on surfing whole day....guys say...what do you do how long you will be on the net...but I do and do..as like that and feel better than to go shopping malls even don't have to shop anything..as I freak out looking crowds.I feel better peacefulness when not many people around which gives me more pleasure,more relax and peace of mind.Definilty, I like to gossip with friends,debating on certian matters but not like looking at crowds.So... for me Week end is log to Internet and keep browsing.
Internet gives me lot of things and for me It's better way to grab the knowledage as well as to entertain and many online services.I do..lot of things netbanking,ticket booking,to get information about places,obviosuly for Job searching and obviously reading and writing Blogs.

I don't remember that when last time I went to Railway reservation counter to book the ticket.

So isn't it gives comfort of the life to grab lot of information from A to Z .Now, it would be quite difficult to live without Internet. It seems,I am addicted of Internet but while at work I hardly log to Ineternet as I do believe to work at work...no other things...as like to give 100% whatever I do.
Being a software professional we hardly write unless have to send mails and

of course....some time on weekends writing such blogs will bit improve my writing skill....so what do you say how is my written skills....isn't it improving..he he he he he ....!!!

At last I would say everybody has DIFFERENT way and it's good that what you are doing you should ENJOY that at the fullest.

It’s Saturday.It’s Saturday
It’s our day.When we will chat
We’ll have a fight.Exchange a smile In our STYLE.

Now in that way Weekend gets ended and hmmmm...again back to work.

Remembering Firends

New is good, but old is the best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
One is sliver and the other gold .

Over last few days..I roamed lot and came accross of lot of college friends and the guys to whom I met or saw in childhood...Now again back to Kolkata leaving all those friends... We spent days with cracking jokes,which are sticked to my mind...gossiping in the room or canteen....commenting on one another keep laughing...We have traded secrets and laughs as well sorrows and pain.We are now far away..... but, still there is bond among us....this bond has taken years to build and as the time passes....getting strong and stronger.
Those days memories are everlasting .I know those gloden days would never come back but,
I still love you guys and all of your smiling faces.
I don't understand what to write more but there are few lines which was mailed by one of friend of mine and would like to put is in the blog from my office mailbox as these lines touched me very closely....

Remembering my friends,after few years,
My eyes were filled with tears,
Everyone is now busy a lot,
No one escaped destiny's plot.

Saw the girl,whom once i thought as my best friend,
Oops!Today she is somebody else's girl fiend,
After months,remembered about her for a little while,
Heard she is happy,that made me smile.
Project reviews to campus interviews,
Nicknames to last bench games,
Cultural rehearsals to love proposals,
Short term crushes to classroom blushes.

Everything is fresh in our mind,
Wish life could just rewind,
Let's laugh,play and rejoice,
Once again become college guys.

Chatting and laughing,we all were in elation,
Till the painful moment of seperation,
When it was time to part,
We returned with a heavy heart.

Today life is full of commitments,
And to many worries,
But those cherished moments,
Will live forever in our memories.

At last,I would say something.. it might be you agree or disagree ....but I feel...
"Friends at college who may be big or small but,friends at the college are best of all"

Today(2006)->Tomorrow(2007)

"To live well, is to be happy every DAY.
It can be done!
Just find one good thing about each DAY that passes...."

This time New year was at Home Varansai.
When,whole world was celebarting to welcome new year in their style dancing,drinking,rocking,singing,cutting cake.....etc.
Well,I was also celebrating but, I wanted to do it differently that's why I was celebrating while sleeping and dreaming for better tomorrow.Hey... what do you say.. is not this a unique way.
I was dreaming to dream up a better tomorrow.First morning of 2007 was same as the 31st Dec 2006 only thing was that got lot of wishes 'HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 over the phone thorough SMS...as next morning I switched on my mobile hmmm... lot of SMS one by one as last night on 31st Dec 2006 ....I switched off the mobile to have nice sleep and to have sweet dream for the coming new DAY(Year 2007).
1st January marks the end of a period of remembrance of the passing year, especially on radio, television, and in newspapers. It is also a memorable occasion to make New Year's resolutions, which they hope to fulfill in the coming Year. Most of us has general perception that the New Year is an event that happens when a culture celebrates the end of one year and the beginning of the next year and also New Year redresolutions is simply another way to wish away the past in exchange for hopes of the future, but I dont't think so.... for me now days are passing.....and
I would express my thougths in certain way.... A person
who is unhealthy today... want to be more physically fit tomorrow
who is in sorrow today... want to be happier tomorrow
who is poor today... want to be rich tomorrow
who is rich today... want to be richer tomorrow
who is heavier today... want to lose weight tomorrow
who is loser today... want to be winner tommorw

Everybody wants better for tomorrow.All days are created equal whether it would be 31st Dec of 2006 or 1st Jan of 2007. If, we always day to day to handle our problems which come on the way of life rather than running away from that ...we can make better tomorrow.
My perception is .....What will I do and I will achive this year which totally depends on day to day activity.
So, I strongly beleive that Change of YEAR not matters for me the DAY matters which always counts in our life.
