One of those nights....

Good morning everyone. Its 3:15 AM now. Its one of those nights when sleep has eluded me again. Don't be surprised, for those who know me are very well aware of my untimely sleeping schedules.

Funny thing, I was staring blank at the wall and was wondering what I could put in here at this time of the hour so that it becomes worth reading. All of a sudden I noticed how the Wall Clock in my room had stopped exactly at 3:15 AM ! Its so spooky just to even think about it , rather to blog about it. Its like time has stopped just for me. It just came to my mind what if each one of us were given a chance in our lives to stop time and be the master of all things. May be I have been watching too much of LOST, and the idea of time travel and the time-space consortium has just gone too much into my head. But lets just give it a try. What if at some instance you realized that a Bruce Almighty like scenario was presented in your lives ?
We all have been living our lives at such a rapid rate that we are getting in competition with our selves. Even if we were given a chance to realize the fact that time had stopped I am sure most of us would not have even noticed the opportunity. In our daily struggle for existence, we have been neglecting the real purpose of life. Don't be scared reading my thoughts, its just that at this time of the hour the harmony between what you are thinking and what you actually want to think is completely lost. What happens when you realize that the world has stopped and the only person active is you ?
I think it is in this time you try to figure out the real purpose of life. Instead of thinking what good or bad you have done in life, you start questioning the very reason for your existence. Flashes of your complete life start appearing before you as if you were hallucinating. Just imagine the importance of this period where your whole life until now flashes before you. Things which we would not have thought of during our entire lives start filling our Grey matter.
Such things would not have made their presence felt if we were to continue our Ultra-sonic pace of life. I believe every once in a while, we need to shift gears, take account of what is happening in our lives and just wish that time could be stopped for a while. It helps you connect with an alien within you who is pure and untouched from the atrocities of this harsh world.
"I wish we all could have one of these nights, where time pauses for a while just so as to makes us realize , that the ride along in life is really beautiful, take it slow and enjoy it while you can ...."

The wish for Time to stop and shifting gears is like a "retreat", to introspect. But rather better to take an account of your life Everyday. We live life everyday, isn't it? Then why take account only on those occasions where it stops as if they are milestones. We all have a conscience and it is only right to do examination of conscience everyday for a minute. Not only when all of a sudden, Life halts which is desired and welcome.

Retreats are good though, takes you back from where you have diverged. GET ON THE RIGHT PATH!!! it says.

This is so true. Time and tide waits for no one. I wish though, many a times, that time would stop for me. Or even better, time would go backwards. Nothing like it! Alas! Only if wishes were true...sigh!

How do you send an email to heaven ...

"xyz Wishes loved ones in heaven could be contacted by mobile phone, email and skype. "  - This is one of the post I read on wall of my friend on Facebook.  I shrugged it off in the usual non-sensical comic style that I apply to every situation or moment I think would not be possible to handle normally. Only that a moment later I got an email from Birthday Alarm reminding me that "Send a Greeting Card to Subhash Chandra Saxena for their Birthday on Sunday July 3rd". They even promised me that "if I chose their specially designed B'day cards they would deliver it to Subhash Chandra Saxena". Only that they do not know that it is an delivery that no logistics in the world can ever deliver ! The thought re-occured to me and has been in the corner of my mind since then. How I wish I could send a greeting to my dad one last time, or probably order the "Worlds Greatest Dad" t-shirt  online and surprise him. Today as my mom pointed out earlier ...

A change from home ....

Life sure is a roller coaster ride. Filled with all ups and downs. Everything good is balanced by something bad and vice-versa. Lets just say that the year 2008 has been one such roller coaster ride for me. Lets cut to the chase and not go into the details now. For the past few weeks it was a real dull atmosphere at home. Each one of us had got really bored of the monotonous and repetitive schedule we were following. It was only last Friday night that an idea of family outing stuck chords in my mind. Saturday morning was sure gonna be a much awaited change at home. The day began a little early for me on Saturday morning. Got up at 9 instead of 10 :) . Asked my parents to get ready and prepare themselves for a day of fun and excitement. I was just wondering how all throughout the year we make plans and enjoy till the Everest of our lives ! But there are seldom any plans made with family. So Saturday morning, unlike the other days the monsoon clouds were too afraid to ruin my plans today...

Something Magical....

Just two days back I had my recent escapade on 26th of March 2010. I had taken two days off from work and wanted to spend quality time with mom and dad. We had been yearning to visit the Shirdi shrine for quite sometime now. It has become a yearly ritual where we drive down to Shirdi, seek blessings and pray for peace and happiness. We started our journey early in the morning around 6:45 AM. It was going to be a long journey, almost 250 kms each side. Since it was off-peak hours we managed to leave behing Mumbai and Thane in close to an hour and a half. Some things that had changed from the last time we drove down the Nasikh- Shirdi route were better roads, less traffic and a lot of modernization in the villages en-route. We managed to reach Nasikh in around 5-6 hrs with 2-3 stoppages in between. The ride from Nasikh to Shirdi was close to 2 hours. We reached Shirdi around 1 PM in the afternoon and a huge crowd and rising mercury welcomed us to the holy town. After check-in to a ho...
