Mumbai Marathon 2010..!!!

Staying in Mumbai and not participating in Mumbai Marathon is missing something very important event.

Mumbai marathon has some different motive like to support the cause and raise charity for humanity and mankind. Many public and private sector companies, corporate people, NGOs, school children are all together to cheer, to support and to raise charity fund through this event and make it more success. Different types of costumes and hoarding, message boards to pass on the message and make the atmosphere with lot of colours. The environment is so energetic, positive and full of enthusiasm. Everyone - people who are in 90's to the children of 10-12 years of age - have participated in this event.

Below are some pictures of this event which I have captured.

PS: this year i have completed dream run successfully (ofcourse by running), next year target is to complete the Half Marathon.. :)

Train Journey with Healthy people..!!!

Some time practical experience of life will put you in a condition to innovate the things in the right direction or may be pass some electrons to your bulb which help to generate the ideas.

India has the 2nd or may be 3rd largest train network in the world. Maximum people prefer train traveling as it is easy, comfortable and accessible almost everywhere. Many things you can observe during the train journey as from different culture people are traveling with you. You can do reservation for the seat in the train well in advance say almost 2 months. In the reservation (sitting train) coach sometimes the sitting arrangement are such that in a single seat 3 people has accommodated. While reserving the seat you never know that what will be the healthy condition of the co- travelers who has reserve the seat. If you lucky then on the day of traveling, these co-travelers are so healthy that they give you a feeling of becoming a middle layer of sandwich.... :)

In the reservation form, they are asking about the preference of the seat so that you can choose the option. Don't you think so that they should also ask about some mandatory parameter as well which measures person's healthy nature. I am sure it will definitely help “Railway Reservation Board” in arranging the people very well and also accommodating more people in the train...

Sometimes size also does matter.. :)

PS: "Healthy" is the word used here for person who has crossed upper limit of overweight. :)

Day by day, Life is becoming object oriented...!!!

A Last Day of the Year 09..!!!

Today is the last day of this year. !!!

Incidents or events are just passing against my opened eyes. Wow…!!! what a great memory.

I just want to keep this particular part of memory “Year 2009” and copy,burn them on to the disc. So in later years again when I looked back, I can still use this archive.

This year was very happening year. When I looked back and connecting all those dots it shows that at the end of the year I am on other side of the stick. You have changed so much in a year. Just remember yourself when you are in the first month of the year and compare with today, you will see drastic difference. ( Of course in my case you will see physical difference as well because I have gained few Kgs :) :) ). Overall you can see change in your behaviour, thinking pattern and even in writing.

Time is going too fast and things are changing invariably fast.

Many good incidents and many are too bad during this year. At some incidents you want laugh loudly and at some you just want to cry silently. If I sit and write about this year you never know I will end up in small novel.

Many friends and acquaintance come in our life during this whole year. Some stay forever and some take totally different route as well. I just want to thank all those good souls whom I met or acquainted during this wonderful Year 09. Thanks for your guidance, support and moments which you have shared with me and the wonderful experience which I got will definitely help me to enhance or grow myself to the higher extent.

Keeping my finger cross and Let's enter into the New Year. 2010!!!

Hope everything will go well in this upcoming year for all of us.

Happy New Year to all!!

A Trek to Vasota..

Adding one more name in the list of forts which I have visited. This time it is Vasota – situated near Bamnoli Village, in Satara District, Maharashtra.
It is one of the best treks because everything was club together here. This fort is far from Bamnoli village and to reach there you have to go by launch ride in the backwater. Also, this fort is surrounded by the Koyna Sanctuary. So, it’s like adding many adventures together in the single trip – launch ride in the back water, wild life sanctuary visit and Vasota fort visit. The jungle was very dense that even sunlight was not reaching to us during the afternoon. The fort was diminished by the Britishers a long ago; however we could easily spot some of the monuments and wall structure of the forts.

On the journey towards the top of Vasota, we spotted some of the animals and wildlife creatures like– python, scorpion, crabs, common crow butterfly, many other butterflies and many types of wild flowers. We all have experienced adventure and fun/fear due to leeches and while removing them from our legs. They are such a smart creature that you don’t even feel while they are sucking blood from your body and even their presence on your body. You have to put some salt on them to remove them from your skin.
- Leeches gave us a signature/an autograph in the form of a small bite to almost all trekkers, so that you can keep a remembrance of Vasota Fort visit. :) :) :)

A Free WILL concept..!!

It is easy to distinguish between a human and an animal. An animal who always works on instincts basis whereas humans have power to think and they gifted with the free Will. Humans take decisions by using their free will power. Actually, the will power has no shape. We give it a shape of either positiveness or negativeness. Humans can either set examples by using this gift in the right direction or can join the group of animals though they are gifted. But this human animal continue to stay with the humans only. Thank GOD..!!!

Independence & Individualism

Independence and Individualism are always in a pair. If you are seeking Individualism then you need a true independence. So that you can come out as Individual rather being an instance of already existing living objects. On the other side, true independence can achieved by being an Individual. Achieving independence is difficult because we all are inter-dependent on each other some or the other way. However, being in inter-dependence state, you can still achieve Individualism and those who can reach that level are actually a true Individual.

Independence for most of us is to have freedom to make our own choices. True Independence includes a "freedom of not to choose" as well. Many times it happens that we don’t have choice of not to choose and we are going with tide. And we still feel that we are independent and made our own choice.
