An adventurous ride from the past

I was nervous, I was pale
I was so worried about my tale
My heart was sinking, my brain was numb
But I had to be confident and not dumb

When the whole country was bathing in lights with every home celebrating the festival by lighting diyas or the modern fashionable bulbs, I returned to my hometown with the only desire to hug my family members. It happened that the work pressure was very high and it was near to impossible to return and join back the family for celebrations. But somehow I managed to book tickets for home for the weekends. Booked a ticket for the train which was scheduled to depart at 9:00 PM from Guwahati and it was the last train to the connecting station NJP for that day. I comfortably reached the station 30 minutes before the scheduled departure only to find that the train had been rescheduled to 2:00 AM. #FML. It meant that I would be missing the train from the connecting station and would not be able to reach home on time. But god had some other plans. The 8:30 train was late by 90 mins which meant that I still had chance to capture the next train. But I didn't have any confirmed ticket to take a ride. I didn't care for anything and just got up in the one of bogies of the train without any ticket. It was dangerous and was the first time I was doing something like that. But the thought of going back home helped me rode the train with ease. I had to remain standing the journey of 8 hours and it was super tiring. But I caught the train and reached home on time. The rest is history. I was able to spend wonderful time with the family which I'll never forget in my life. 

I sometimes wonder how the life would have been if I had not been a part of such experiences. It is these experiences that keep my life adventurous. The moments I didn't enjoy much in the past are very much part of my identity. It is these moments that made me learn coping with difficulties and sadness.

I am sure you must have experienced something very similar. I am eager to hear your stories. Keep me posted and do comment if you share similar story.

Into the memory lane #HugYourDad

The relationship between a father and a son is always tough to express. Unlike mothers' love which is visible, there is always a gap when it comes to expressing your love to your father. The expression remains inconspicuous. In most of the cases he is a silent guardian who gives his all but while remaining behind the scene. Sometimes he is more worried about the son than the mother. But giving a hug to your dad is as uncommon as finding treasure under non-historical monuments. If you ask me when was the last time I hugged my Dad. I would have to put a lot of stress on my brain to find the answer. So it may be difficult to my hug dad all of a sudden to express back my love, as a small gesture the least I can do is dedicate few lines that explains his unconditional love:

   He stayed awake late at nights so that I can sleep well
   He understood all my feelings even when I was unable to tell

   He walked long distances so that I can afford a cab
   He maintained a basic cell phone for years only so that I can sport a tab

   When the pain of mathematics was getting too tough to bear,
   He made it absolutely simple to learn and then it was all clear

   When the principal himself was getting wary of my reticence
   He made sure that all the teachers get acquainted with my innocence

   When choosing between different career options was becoming a nuance
   He supported me with proper guidance and helped me take a clear stance

   I did all sort of crazy things but he never lost his cool
   He broke his deposit account only to make sure that I study in a good B school

   When his business was not doing good he’d never let me know
   But he’d turned the sky up-down if I ever felt a little low

   He is the reason why I still wake up after eight
   While he takes care of all my meals and set everything straight

   Finally, his love for me is inexpressible and beyond these simple pair
   This post is a mark of my salute to his selfless and unconditional care

In the end all I can say that my love for him is not limited to words. It’s father’s day coming near but I sincerely believe that there cannot be just one day dedicated to him. For everything he has done for me the least but still the best thing I can do for him is give him a hug .

The livewires on the stage #MaxFreshMove

Grilled under the pressure of releasing the IPO in the market, Sunny has no time to even break the breath. He is aware that projects like these come in rarity and a very few fortunate souls can bank such experience. He is expected to come out a winner but his physical limits have already been breached. He has slept for just 4 hours in the last 72 hours. His sleep deprived brain is struggling to collate different entities of his project without which it is impossible to ensure successful launch of the IPO in the capital market. Tired, he decides to take a stroll down the 10 floor tall office building. He is trying very hard to divert the attention from the work. But alas! Even this is turning out to be some task. The elevator is spelling out loud ‘the name & the brand’ of its manufacturing company. And it takes no time for Sunny's mind to start wondering ‘At what price was the IPO of this company launched? What was the reaction from the subscribers? How is the company currently performing in the stock market?’ Then suddenly the attention shifts towards the ceiling fan from another electrical giant and his mind starts jumbling across similar set of questions. He certainly needs a different dose of freshness, a different perspective. He needs to throw himself out from the painful chatter that is playing with his mind. 

Soon the elevator hits the ground floor. The shiny tiles of the ground floor are boasting of the pride and richness of the company with which it has been built. Sunny is expecting some refreshing scenery as he is getting farther from his work, at least in physical sense. But no view is enough to comfort him. Even the beautiful garden built outside the building to sooth weary souls like him is not helping. On the contrary, the sight of people sitting in pairs and giggling and chatting is adding to his pain. But in the midst of all these something good happens. A visual succeeds in taking him away from the work-load by pushing him down to his own flashback- ‘the wonderful moments he spent during his engineering days with his gang and his love.’ 

The preparation of the cultural fest is at the peak. Tonight is the much awaited performance of Vishal Dadlani and his band Pentagram. The organizers are feeling all the heat. Sunny is very eager to watch his favorite musician performing live in the campus. Plus he has recently started dating Neha, the girl who’s too good to be part of the fraternity that is full of nerds. She is undoubtedly among the most desirable girls in the campus. And tonight is going to be a wonderful night for Sunny as she is giving him company. Well! The stage is set. The Pentagram team has finished tuning their instruments. The crowd has started making it impossible to chat. The speakers are loud enough to thump heart beats. The couples have started pumping their fists in the air. The band is ready to play the first song. As soon as the guitarist strikes the cords for the first song, he returns back from flashback. His eyes are stuck to the board that is advertising “Live concert of Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda” scheduled to happen this Sunday. 'What a relief!', he thinks. The concert starts at 8 O’clock in the night and his work is supposed to be closed by Sunday evening. This is the perfect chance for him to rejuvenate before the actual launch of the IPO. This is the best way to bring freshness into his life. At this moment or any moment, there cannot be a better way to relish the hard work that has been put by him to make the project go smoothly. He can comfortably unwind himself after dropping all his work on this Sunday evening.

Sunny is thinking of the synergistic energy that will spark the atmosphere when Allu Arjun’s sensational moves and Anushka Manchanda’s magical voice would come together. The live performance will be nothing less than a carnival. The girls would lose control on the ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ number and would start moving like ‘Dance Basanti’. Allu’s moves on the Golmaal Song while Anushka singing in her crispy voice would be some sight. The ‘Dhatad Tatad’ number would make the crowd burst into craziness. And only god knows what would happen when Allu would start dancing on the ‘AA ANTE AMLAPURAM’ song. 

The rocking music would certainly extract away all the pain he has been enduring since the last few weeks. Dancing on the groovy musical numbers will give him back his previous fun and adventurous life. And that will be the opportunity to break all his frustrations by singing aloud at the top of his voice.  

Sunny is now getting restless as now he is too excited to go to that concert. Even the mere dream of being in that concert has filled him with immense enthusiasm. All his weariness has gone away. He is now fresh again and ready to finish his work way before the deadline. Now that is something I wish to call a #MaxFreshMove.

Simple yet effective skin tips

I have never been skeptical about the healing capabilities of Ayurveda but I feel science should have given more importance to this field and specially the Indian community. However things have changed and a lot of more research is being conducted in this field. I reckon that at present Ayurveda may not be the best solution for some of the rare diseases; it does have some good hold over general health problems. In particular, skin related solutions provided by Ayurveda are worth mentioning. For example VICCO Turmeric Cream is one such cure to dull and oily skins. To know more about this product, you can visit this page: http://www.viccolabs.com/product-turmeric-cream-with-foam-base.phpOf course solutions like these are always there in our life, but do you know that if you take conscious effort towards your skin you can avoid all type of typical skin issues like pimples, blackheads etc. From my personal experience, I can share some of the things that help in keeping skin healthy and radiant:

1. Drink a lot of water: I am sure you must have observed that many of the skin problems occur when your stomach is not healthy or you have had something which is giving trouble to your digestive system. These small problems often manifest in facial aberrations. Drinking a lot of water ensures that you minimize such digestive issues. Of course, there is no comparison to eating only healthy and fresh food. Fruits like watermelon help a lot in maintaining good amount of fluid in our body which one should never avoid.

2. Splash water every 3-4 hours: In this fast paced life, our face has to go through a lot of dirt. The dirt often sticks to the skin and if not cleaned regularly only results in long term skin issues. The idea is to splash water whenever and wherever there is opportunity to do so. To make it easy one can think of doing the same after every meal when one goes to the washroom for cleaning the hands.

3. Avoid soaps: We all have studied during our science classes how soaps are prepared using soft alkali etc. It isn’t best idea to apply soap on your face. If there are soaps with moisturizers, it may be safer to apply. But prolonged exposure to these harmful materials only makes your skin rough. I’d recommend avoiding soaps as much as one can.

4. Apply Sunscreen lotion before going out: Getting tanned might be a good thing for the westerners who lack right amount of melanin under their skin. But hey we don’t need to be further tanned. Fortunately our melanin content is good enough that not only prevent us from severe skin diseases like skin cancer but also from skin spots. Ever wondered why those rich kids have always better skin than a normal middle class child? If you spend all your time inside AC cabins the exposure to sun is bound to be minimal. Of course a normal person doesn’t have that luxury. So it’s always a good idea to apply sunscreen lotion before going under the sun.



Ride with Renault Lodgy: Be Lodgycal

Recently I saw a ferry service hosting a party on its deck, randomly trotting from one river bank to another. It was the first time I was watching a party hosted on water and that too within the heart of the city. That image was some revelation for me and enough to titillate my creative brain. ‘I am going to host my best birthday party ever in a moving vehicle en route to Goa' was my first reaction off that visual. But then the very next moment brought me back to the world of reality and practicality.  How can someone throw a party inside a car? However it doesn’t hurt to be a bit imaginative in your life. And when there is Renault Lodgy to complement my scheme of imagination, where's the worry? Frankly, if I have to list down 5 things that I’ll carry in Renault Lodgy, it will be tough to choose between endless options but still, here it goes:

1. Tomorrow Land and Sun-Burn festival stage: Yes, if I am planning to a trip to Goa, how can I forget the best party makers in the world? And how can I, being the party planner, not think about the after-party preparation. So the party will be first hosted inside my Renault Lodgy only to be followed by a carnival like show in the dreamy land of GOA. And why should I worry about space? There are retractable 3rd row seats with 50:50 split & tumble fold enough to host everything.


2. Cheer leaders: No I am not planning to host any supplementary cricket match inside the car, in case you are wondering wild. But hey! I am not going to let go of the opportunity to experience the easy to operate MediaNAV multimedia system. And well! If there is music in the car, there’s got to be someone who can resonate with that sound. Isn't it?

3. Home-made wine: Now coming back to the realistic carriage of things inside the car, how should I utilize the 30L of actual storage space? The tastiest strawberry wine in the world is made at my home. Why should I not boast of such a thing to all the party hoppers?



4. Tons of awards: The plan is to end the party with an announcement of the people who would have helped taking the party a notch higher. It may not be awards like IIFA but who doesn’t like to be recognized even if it is for something like 'the best party man’.

5. Dignity and respect: The party will be hell lot of fun for sure. But whether it can be organized in a dignified manner must be the important question for many. Thanks to the style and features of Lodgy that it is cool enough to carry off everything with dignity and respect. Now that's what I call Lodgycal!



Now the list above may be a bit crazy, but I think you got what I am trying to say. Hop on guys, the newest model by Renault is just the thing you need to turn around your lifestyle.

cheers,
the crazy party planner
