Land of Skyscrapers

A land of skyscappers!!!! We were excited to the bits. We decided to celebrate our 5 years of togetherness with something very special and beautiful. This time it was our first International Trip!! We both love to travel. Whether it's by airways, train, bus, car or whatever. Exploring new places, interacting with new people is our common interest. We never get tired of travelling.

As soon as everything was finalized we started packing our bags with the best we have. This time we promised ourselves that we'll travel light, & guess what, we succeeded 😁😁.

After celebrating our marriage anniversary on 30th Sept '17 with family, we had our flight the very next day.


1ST OCT '17 was all about Airports, check-ins, immigration, security check, boarding & finally reaching Dubai with little outing to the mall!!

we left for airport at about 9:30 a.m. in the morning. Flight timing was 01:40 p.m. We reached airport at about 11 a.m. After check-in & immigration, we head towards security check. Everything was pretty quick and smooth to realise that we are going out of the country this time. We had enough time to roam around the New Delhi airport and sip a cup of coffee. After wandering through the shops in the airport, we proceeded for boarding. Taking the Passport & Visa along with lots of
anticipation for a wonderful vacation we boarded the flight.

Air India express was the medium through which we reached Dubai, UAE. Upon landing at 3:45 p.m., we went through immigration and took our luggage. A person from Makemytrip received us at the airport and gave us the Itenary for next 5days, then we were transfered to our hotel "The Golden Sands 5".

"The Golden Sands 5" is a hotel apartment in Bur Dubai area. Room was awesome with all kinds of amenities like Iron with iron table, hair dryer, locker, kitchen area with utensils, electric stove, microwave oven, washing machine and what not. An extra of 50 dirhams was charged as hotel tax. We got freshened up. We had nothing planned for that evening, so we took a taxi to Dubai Mall as we didn't want to waste a single minute of our trip.

Dubai Mall was grand. A shopping Paradise for a shopoholic. It has got almost every big brand. Beautifully built, spacious, comprising huge area. We roamed, roamed and roamed. We walked aimlessly here & there. We didn't shop at all. Then we went to see the Dubai Mall's famous musical fountain. It was too beautiful. Suddenly we realized that it's the great Burj khalifa behind us. And Oh my God... what was that., We were just too happy, finally we saw Burj khalifa. We just took so many pictures ..we were so awestruck. Then we had our dinner at the food court and left for hotel.

On 2ND OCTOBER, after breakfast we got ready. As our Itenary was about to start in the afternoon hours, we thought why not explore locally near the hotel. We heard about the Meena Bazar, an Indian market area.

"Summer Vacations.."

When I was a kid, I loved to go to my Grandmother's(Aaita) place. Summer vacation was apt for going there as we use to get a month long vacation from school. It was a place amidst nature.  The entrance gate made of bamboos is called "Nongola", A huge compound with a beautiful home was the place where we enjoyed our holidays.  Pic 1. Nongola The first thing one will notice is the prayer house called "Guxain Ghor or Naamghar" , where my Aaita used to do her daily prayers to the almighty at the wee hours of the morning. After that Aaita used to take out milk from the cow in that small aluminum bucket, picture of which is still fresh in my mind. Pic 2. Naamghar Pic 3. Bhoral Ghar A Paddy storage godown called "Bhoral ghor" is an essential part of a village home. There was a "Dheki" near Bhoral ghor. It is used by the women of the house for grinding and threshing of rice grains. The rice flour made by this process is later ...

" Decisions "

There was a guilt that resided inside, Something that is taking me away from the world beside. I was present in the crowd everyday, But used to get annoyed day by day. I was unsatisfied from the life in the past, I didn't know how many days that feeling will last. Days,months,years passed in making a new Me.. Tik Tok Tik Tok time flew like a honeybee. Gradually I realized I have made some decisions right, And then suddenly something stopped, it's my mind n brain's fight. May be today I know that you are happy, There is no reason for me to be unhappy.. Today my happiness knows no boundary.. Everything else in this world seems to be secondary..                    //5th November 2014//

DARD-E-DIL ➳❤

Raat hote hi din se duur ho gaye, kayi baatein aisi thi jo adhoore se reh gaye… Aakhon mein nami abhi bhi hain, unse bicharne ka gham abhi bhi hain… Sone ki koshish bekaar se lagne lage, sapno mein dekhti thi jinhe wahi duur  lagne lage… Aasra tha woh zindagi bhar ka, pata nahi kis mod pe mud gaya… Jo aya tha itne kareeb, kya hui baat jo iss kadar ruth gaya… Saanson ki ladi bana ke rakha tha jise, zindagi ki kadi bana ke rakha tha use… Sham ke waqt se ab darta hain dil, Raat ka andhera seh nahi pata hain dil…!!                                           //13th May 2009//

☺❤BE YOURSELF !!❤☺

                                                                Looking at the sun setting in a hurry, as if he has some urgent works and grudges to bury!! Hoping he will bring happiness tomorrow, I bid adiew, and wait for the moon to come & rest for a minute or few... Recollecting the past memories, I shed some tears too; Happy memories bring a lot of smiles through. I think if I were there, I would be more successful.... But what more counts if life is now beautiful.. Sometimes in the lonely hours, I sink in the ocean of thoughts.. It is the best moment to find what I lack & what are my faults.. May be I am in the best place to fulfill my dreams, Per...

Being Alone

I love to be alone, but I don't like to be lonely. Sometimes being alone gives answers to many of my questions. Being alone is not always negative, it produces something positive. It's up to you what you make out of this time. Some alone moments are really very essential for us because it gives us the opportunity to listen to the voices of a silent atmosphere. Quietness always speaks something, which we have to listen carefully to understand. I like silence.....I like the chaos that is heard in a quiet place.. Sounds funny?? But this is really worth listening.. Being alone always reminds me of my past. Some good, sweet, beautiful memories yet some bitter, sour memories. These are the memories which I couldn't forget. Sometimes being alone is living every second of my life.. I love being like this..                                   //7:30pm, 13th Sept 2015//

❤DIL Vs DIMAAG❤

Jab dil ko lagta hain koi pyara, Dil bina soche usko kehta hain apna... Kya kare samajh nahi aata, Man ka naa koi ata-pata.... Apne hote hain duur kyun? Paraye lagte kareeb kyun? Jin ke sath gujare zindagi ke bees saal,  Unhi logon se har dard chupane lage kyun? Dimaag ki baat nahi sunta hain Dil, Dil ko mil gayi hain jaise sapno ki mehfil..... Dil gaye pyar ke tarane, Lay- Sur- Taal ko sath milaye.... Kuch toh huwa hain, jo dimaag ki batti hain gul !! Pyar ho gaya hain, samajh jaa E- fool  !!!                                           //27th April 2009//

❤❤ ...DIL KI PARESHANIYAN..❤❤

Kal ki kya baat kare, jab aaj ki nahi khabar… Dhundne ne nikla tha dil jise, sirf wahi naa aaye nazar… Kismet ko khojne aya tha , koi rasta naa   koi dagar… Manjil ke itne kareeb aakar, abhi toh tham jaye yeh bhawar… Zindagi mein unhi palon ki aas hoti hain, jab har sham kuch khas hoti hain… Kuch kuch kehke sab kuch ki zaroorat thi.. Kya hain yeh pyas who abhi samajhni baki thi… Aksar hoti thi dil mein dastak…. Par dil kaise sune, yeh toh kisika tha bandhak… Shayad kisiki tamanna thi, aakhon mein yeh kiski tasveer si thi…!!                                                //13th May 2009//
