To my future girlfriend

 I am immensely in love with you! My heart knows no bounds beating for you. When I look at you, I lose all my senses and become blank.

You bring shiver down my body. You looks are electrifying, whisper seductive, touch tender and hugs lovely!

I cannot believe I have you as my girlfriend! I can dance with you whole night on some slow reverbed music.

Every time I look at you, I get stunned in disbelief that I got lucky to have you in my life!

I am very grateful for this day! I love you so much! 💓💓

(P.S. If my future girlfriend is reading this, please feel free to reach me out 😁)

Your love

Rpk..!!!

It was nearing dusk

 It was nearing dusk as I sat

On the steps of the pool, sipping some hot tea from my kulhar along with a maska bun…. alone. I wore a tidy jeans and a casual shirt. It did not take me long to remember those days when i used to eagerly wait for the early morning tea and maska bun with her.

The cool and fresh morning air felt very rejuvenating and comforting….

It used to be full of adventure and most importantly love…. Unconditional love.

While it was no secret that we had started liking each other and started confessing it more number of times, hardly did we realize that we had started falling in love with each other.

Then one fine day, I gathered all the courage I had and proposed her. I wrote a romantic proposal and presented it to her, after reading which she kissed me right away. If only could you experience that moment, then would you realize how ecstatic it felt. It sent shivers down my body, and I remember it with the minutest details……

This heart denies accepting the fact that she is no longer mine, nor are those moments full of love.

What remains today are her splendid memories. Memories which I deny forgetting, memories which my heart disobey to wipe off and shamelessly stick on to, memories of her, memories of my love…...

I don’t know if I am right or wrong…. But all the lessons I learnt from you will always stay with me and even in the darkest hours, your memory would be the one which I would dwell upon, until I go to deep sleep.

I know I am hoping against the hope, but still if you happen to change your decision & come back to me, I will waste not a second to embrace you, to hug you tightly, to kiss you and never let you go. I would eagerly sit beside you closely and hold your hand while both of us get lost in deep conversations under the big tree at the church during the evening sun. Tell me…. Will you be mine…. Again? (Please say yes 🥹)

One day you might remember me…. With small tear in your eyes…. And recall that I was not that bad a person.

I wish…….

Lots of love! ❤️

Rest in Peace Dadu!

He came in this beautiful world with numerous dreams in his tiny eyes. Those dreams must have definitely scared him. But he was brave enough to shoo the fear away.

Whatever he dreamed, he fulfilled. A completely self made man, he knew what attracted him. With a little bit of fear and a lot of courage and forbearance, he single handedly went on to become what he is (sorry! was) today.

As I write this, a strange feeling of pride and inspiration brushes by me. Whatever he has imparted has been deeply ingrained in me and it will keep on lingering with me throughout my life.

He has taught me how to conquer heights but still stay rooted to your origins. He has displayed how to 'give' selflessly and still stay happy. Also he has taught how beautiful this world is. All you have to do is to feel its goodness immensely.

I will never get him back. That is for sure. But I definitely will have him ever ready in all his glory and grandeur to guide me throughout whenever in a dilemma.

This world is a beautiful place. All you and everyone else need to do is to accept all the goodness of the world. Such a kind and generous soul he was. Only his body has left this world, but he will continue to live for eternity. Whatever he has left will definitely keep on growing further and further manifolds.

And I am sure, today wherever he is seated in heaven, he is watching all of us with a gentle smile on his face and uttering 'May God bless you!'

Dadu! You will always continue to survive!

Rest in Peace Dadu! ☹

N.B. Dadu in Bangla means maternal grandfather. He has departed for his heavenly abode on the 27th of February, 2017.

Bangalore.... What a ROCKING city!

Dulquer Salmaan was correct when he quoted Bangalore as 'Bangalore.... What a rocking city' in the movie 'Bangalore Days'.
I am neither a Kannadiga nor was I born or brought up in Bangalore. It's just 8 months that I am inhabiting this cool city and in this short span of time, I have fallen in love with each and every molecule of the city.
My stay in Bangalore dates back to the January of 2015. I stayed in Bangalore then for over a month. And then after a short span of time in Chennai I am back here at Bangalore.
So without much a do, let me take you to the tour of Bangalore City through my eyes.
It was a winter morning when I first landed in Bangalore for the first time in my life. Being my first visit to this IT capital of India, I had a lot of curiosities and excitement about this city.
'Will I able to communicate?' 'Will I be able to adjust myself with the food of here?' Questions like these had started flooding my mind and I was curious to answer them all.
My journey in Bangalore began from Yeswantpur Railway Station when I was received by my friend Ranjeet.
The first day itself, I had started loving the atmosphere of the city. Lush green sorroundings coupled with the awesome mausam of the city seemed to bow a grand welcome to me. And I was very much comforted to find people fluently speaking in Hindi. So that was a great positive sign for me. I did not find Bangalore any different from Rajasthan to communicate. This also adds to the reason why I love this city.

Silk board they call it but believe me you would neither find any display of sericulture nor any exclusive showoom dedicated to silk clothings. But what you would definitely see is a multi-storey building standing majestically and serving as the most prominent landmark of the area. Yes, you almost got it correct. I am talking of the the Central Silk Board building.
This was the place where I spent the first days in Bangalore.
Flooded with youngsters, this place fills me with an youthful vibe. From edibles to friendly people, batchmates to liquor offerings, this place has it all for me (and any youngster of my age obviously).
I was leading an extended college life here with most of my batchmates in my vicinity and my seniors just at the distance of a call. And not to forget my childhood buddies and schoolmates from Udaipur.
To sum up I was having a wonderful time.
The vast and wide roads, jolly and friendly people, the jawdropping architectures of the buildings of different IT firms, the filter coffee, the pubs, the BMTC buses, the climate, the presence of a young soul in the city gave me all that made me fall for this city.
Then comes the place called as Marathalli or Maratahalli (as it is called in Kannada) which stands to be my second most favourite place. You can practically find almost anything here to make your life happening. Be it a grand offering of mouth watering food for yourself or just losing yourself in the vast multitude of the city. This place has got it all.

Then comes the place called as MG Road followed by Brigade road. They are simply amazing and a walk through the roads of these areas with your special someone can give you a memory of a lifetime. Yes you got that correct.

Be it Cubbon Park or UB City or Lal Bagh you will simply fall more and more in love with the city.
And since now that I've started to live in this magical city again, I owe a lot to this city.
Bengaluru I just love you! Just stay awesome and Green!

Namma Bengaluru!

Sculpting your life

Human beings are the most advanced species created by God they say. So being advanced (which we are definitely) we are in a constant cycle of growth and development.
In this rat race people have started forgetting their own interests and getting enrobed into what people term as 'livelihood'
While trying to match up with the 'society's interests' people have started marring their own interest. The little hint of fire that is inside them is extinguished. Thanks to the this never ending race to match up with the expectations of the society.

What I personally feel is that whatever the world has to say about one, he/ she should stay so much passionate about the world and should go to any extent to fulfill his/ her dream.
Afterall sculpting one's life is in one's hand and this makes them infact the most advanced species on the face of the world.
If practice such as this is implemented by each human, then near is the day when every human will lead his/ her 'own' life and happiness everywhere.

So you have got only one life! Make the best of it!
Live your 'own' life! Chase your dreams! Be the master of your own wills!
Let the world be curious about you! You have got all that it takes to be one!

Retaliation!

Featuring a video which shows that not only humans retaliate but few creatures on the world if triggered would definitely retaliate!!
This video that was shot by my respected father, begins with a kid troubling a calf. Initially the calf continuously ignores the kid. But it turns to be 'too much'. The calf is instigated and retaliates.
The video ends with a bash.

Have a watch!
