Questions

One month already passed was just wondering ..My God..time is flying..

I somehow complain to myself "hey why i don't find time to do the stuff i love"? :(

Well answer is simple i guess so "Life works like this" we skip our favorite stuff,our passion to do which is necessary.This fight between our passion and necessity continues through out life.At the end of the day in most of the cases necessity wins :( 

This life is very strange we all know that we are not going to take anything with us when we leave this world still we accumulate and participate in rat race.At the end of the day how we fee?l we are tired and confused but answer is "this is how everybody lives"

We spend whole life in searching answers to different questions asked at different stage of life.

Believe me some of these questions are really worth asking but there will be few completely irrelevant.

In few instances we want to talk to people straight on their face how we feel about their questions but being a social animal we answer the way they like.Answer is "this is how relations are maintained"

Trust me not all questions are negative few of them will really give you insight about yourself. These kind of questions may come even from most unexpected people from  your life.

So the real challenge is on which kind of questions you focus more and invest your time.At the end of the day its our choice to choose what we keep in our head.

Trip to Cameroon Highland

Still on our way to Singapore..our bus just stopped at few places along road for snacks n few tit bits. I just had waffles with chocolate and water melon juice Niru was confused as being non vegetarian he had more choices😛😛😛
Anyways this short trip of 3 days was a bliss for both of us who feel the intense desire for a break after struggling with all electronic devices in office.We needed our electronic free holidays and relaxing and chilling in somewhat different environment.
We decided for Cameroon Highland as our first experience was very pleasant with bike riding all along the hills to strawberry parks and Lavender garden.Morover we were interested to wear our jackets which are lying in our suitcase unused and feeling those cool breeze😍😍😍
We hardly find time to feel that cold and enjoy our hot tea in those woolens.
We decided to stay on other side of cameroon this side as Tanah Rata is sufficiently explored with all its nearby places and food option.Malaysia has lots of variety of foods and interesting thing is its very much inspired from its diverse culture.What we find here is south Indian cuisine with chinese and malay food and it creates lots of options for tourist to choose from.Whenever we get chance we prefer to go to local food market to understand the cuisine and try it.Although being a vegetarian i have taste buds to try different food and trust me it mostly goes favourable.And one of those finest tea we can enjoy here "Teh"
This place has everything food,nice climate,friendly people and diversity of culture to experiene.This was my third short trip to Malaysia and i really hope i can explore more of it.😊😊😊

Choose Right !!

I just saw the road how far we have come..seems like still few 100 km from Kuala lumpur..i see pines trees,palm trees and other vegetations on both side of road.Niru is trying to sleep folding her seat.This bus is not nicer than the one we came by..I does not have small screen TVs for entertainment.Thank God I can see my documentaries in my phone.We just saw one together it was bit disturbing based on Godhra riots how all started from one train to whole society.I must accept my heart started melting now question is for whom?
Lets not connect this question to my faith i follow it melts for common people like you and me..people who have families,kids,elders and who has business other than politics.
Whatever happens..from whomsoever starts..we as common people pay a huge cost.This is more pricking question to me today as India celebrates its indepdence day since 1947. Feeling so moved with emotions of people i want to relieve so i just saw another documentary  about Country's progress.How well country is doing in space,industries and other fields.Honestly speaking my views are not political ones that i shouls strongly agree or disagree.I am just a common people and want to express how i feel.
My education at least has given me the discretion to choose right over wrong and express what is fair to the best of my knowledge.
I am not writing this to create patriotic message of Indian unity and sense of inclusion sorry i am not a politicians.No need to write for me as i have my circle wide enough to know views from all over.l
There is one common thing between all of us we are "commoner" we feel for our family and near ones.So lets not be puppet in the hands of wrong people and choose right and fair above all.
But one thing why we are criticising politics we choose our candidates through voting process if we select an influential goon over simple educated we are bound to have wrong representation.
We common man dont know our power we are the one who live together in our societies,celebrate together,laugh and live together and we dont need any politically motivated message.i dont want to use designer phrases or situations to create the kind of impression "unity in diversity".This is already here since ages and even after so many cultural and social transformations untill few bunch of people try to create disturbance and we start feeling scared or confused.There is no need as more than 99% people are commoners always busy in our day to day lives with our family.
The only faith we need to follow is "right"We all need to stand together for the society we want..a social fabric closely knitted with all views together but when somebody see this it shows our most respected flag our motherland.

Long Live mother India !!

My Newzealand Diary-South Island

At Nelson one person from our  car rental agency came to pick us as their outlet was bit far from airport.
And at agency we completed all formities and took the car with GPS as we were supposed to drive a lot now.
So We drove from Nelson to Motueka and reached our motel the nice stay :)
Motels in Newzealand are very comfortable and gives a homely environment with all cleanliness.Dont underestimate them as you are paying less tham premier hotels.As far as my experience is concerned i find them really very very good.
So after getting freshen up we just roam around few streets.
Next day our plam was to do Abel Tasman National Park :) We heard a lot about this and it was in our must do list.
Early morning with all enthusiasm we started for Abel Tasman and from T junction we saw a road sign both ways Abel Tasman we chose the one with less distance and were driving towards it.In another 40 mins we realized there is something wrong as we have already done around more than 40km from T junction but we we saw a road sign uphill showing Abel Tasman so we started driving.Oh My God the road was a narror one leading to uphills with no place to stop in mid way.I was feeling bit scared to see the depth of valley full of trees and Niraj was enjoying to see my pale face :) Then i saw few senior citizens with all excitement driving with high speed i feel like i am really less than them ;) Then i started enjoying those lush green depth and mild breeze on face.
Now we both started cracking jokes as we are sure we are at wrong track for a right destination but a right track with wrong destination..the unknown..slowly that road ended on a uphill and we see only one connecting non concrete road leadding to other mountain.
I stopped Niraj and asked him to find place to park car and inquire.
Oh wonderful we could see a small cofee/tea shop on our left side.
It was bit different in the sense a very beautiful lady with green eyes selling tea and few other woolen stuff seems like taken from her own animals.
There were lots of animals like deer and a small camel type and few birds she was taking care.It was a bright sun of 1PM we decided to rest and have tea and our favorite carrot cake.
Also we saw same ladies whom we saw on our way.when i shared my fear that i encountered on the way they said "it was lovely my dear not scarry" and a gentleman with them just winked pointing out non concrete road "if you take this road may be you will never be seen again" hahaha

So after a rest we decided to leave our plan for Abel Tasman and moving towards Kaiteriteri (yellowish sand with dark blue clean water).
On the way we met a french couple who guided us to Kaiteriteri and we felt relax..finally we got a destination where we wanted to reach.
That beautiful view of Kaiteriteri people doing kayak and swimming seems like its not real its a painting with vivid colours.
After that adventurous unplanned one ofcourse we came back to our hotel and rested whole night to start a very long trip by road.
Our plan was to drive from Motueka to Franz Josef app 500 KM as we wanted to spend more time in Franz Josef.On the way we were aware we will have chance to see Greymouth and Westport but with our schedule we cant think of doing each and every attractions and we have to be selective. 
So we decided to go to Greymouth directly but another surprize was waiting for us..our GPS suddenly stopped working after hardly 50 km so we tried to find out with our agency if we can get some assistance they said nothing before Queenstown possible.We tried in Murchison to get it repaired but seems like buying the new one was the only way.
So we both were very disappointed whether we will be able to continue our south journey :( :( as South island is so much without people you need to drive 50-70 km to find a small town. Anyways we both decided to continue with our journey with help of maps and road signs.This journey of 460KM i dont remember that we did a major mistake in getting the right road..Road signs were so clear and moreover our friendly Newzealanders we infact we enjoyed it to the most.

What happens happens for a reason  this journey actually opened our mind  that sometimes unplanned can be the most pleasant surprize so even if nothing happening as per your plan ..its God's plan



Honestly I want to pen down everything here about those long  road trips, those beautiful lakes,, people we met in our journey, Tasman sea drive,our food experience there is so much to cherish..
But for this trip i will just say i would have missed something if i dont plan for NZ.

Lots of love for NZ !!

My Newzealand Dairy-North Isaland

Its beyond words to express how i felt being there around 2 weeks...one of the most wonderful experience we had in travelling ..yes it was ..last year in Feb we got this once in a life time opportunity that we can take 2 weeks leaves continuously and not going our homeland but somewhere else.
Since childhood i am fascinated about NZ as its location in the globe sounds very apart from others and then being in a cricket crazy country you are bound to know at least names like Auckland/Wellington/Queenstown and surrounded locations shown during cricket commentary.
Yes we Indians get little bit knowledge of geography from cricket as well ;) now days this fever anyhow is low at least in my blood.
So come back to our travel experience being inspires from one of Niraj's colleague we started planning at least 6 months back just keeping in consideration of cricket world cup.
We started our journey in Auckland with overnight stay in a small hotel in the centre and being valentine day it was one of most vibrant night in the street awaken by 2am next day.
Next day we took a bus from City of sky tower -Auckland to land of thermal activities-Rotorua. We booked the rented car online so finally when we hired a cab to reach the agency it was closed and nobody around being Sunday tried agencies phone no several times but could see only a petrol pump with two guys.
Suddenly we saw there was a car parked outside and we could noticed some agreement paper inside with Niraj's name on it but keys?? We looked around we decided to ask those petrol pump guys and u know what came as surprize they were advised to give us keys 😊😊
Then started our beautiful journey of enjoying the food,valleys, thermal activities..every word is less to express this.now we decided to go to South Island by flight so dropped our car at airport as advised by agency and headed for Nelson via connecting flight to Wellignton.

Our flight was around 6:45AM and we were supposed to drive around 30 mins so we reached there around 4 AM with a view in mind will be rush and need to drop car at airport with keys.But we got a surprize not even a single person at airport and it was closed we got bit worried if sonething wrong or we are at right place we serached all parts of airport but really nobody :()
We had no option but to wait and people started coming at 5:30 am:).Finally we boarded in a very cute flight of Air Newzealand to Nelson.

Our Krabi Trip

I can see air Asia flight just flown off.. We are waiting for
ours..need to wait apprx one hour..to pass our time we checked few
outlets .. Quite few in numbers at Krabi airport ..finally we are
going back to Singapore after 3 night visit to this beautiful place.
Chinese new year had been a wonderful opportunity to explore this land
of surrounded islands.
We checked in to Pakasai resort a green escape from crowd situated
uphill of Aao Nang.
If you like to be with people/ surrounded by people Aao Nang is the
best selection and not to devalue road side market providing food n
shops and other stuffs and beach with long tail providing short tours.
Our first day when we reached around3pm we just relaxed in hotel and
in the evening we enjoyed food at Aao Nang itself and roamed around in
the market.
Doing island tour to Phi Phi/Maya bay/Bamboo island/monkey bay is a
must do to experience the pebbles less white sand with turquoise blue
water with picturesque mountain type structure.
There are few other island tours available.I m sure must be exciting
but as being limited by time we could do only to Phi Phi in our second
day of trip.
Third day we prefered to have our own transport and drive our own so
we hired a red scooter around 200 bahts near our hotel and we headed
to Tiger's Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)
We quit our plan for Hot spring and Emerald Pool as it was hectic job
for us to do around 60km one way by Scooter and bad road sign boards.
We were told if we want to do this temple we have to take more than
thousands steps one way to reach on top of the temple and amazing view
we tried few steps towards cave only and could see Buddha hall
situated in silent caves where drop of water were falling from the
roof and we could feel the respite of mind.That gentle breeze,shadow
and pious environment really reminded us the old time and we
understand why monks decided for these caves away from old worldly
things.
Way back to Aao Nang we were just happy on our decision to decide
about our Krabi trip and whenever we find time we would like to come
back again.

Specially abled

Yes he smiled at me..and tried to stop lift for me from 11th floor to 2nd floor.
I have'nt seen many time in my office if not everyday..may be he is based  out at 12th floor so comes down very rarely as there is independent pantry so why anybody will be coming down to this floor.
But i hv noticed whenever he comes he spreads happiness all around will pass positive smile to everybody.I never talked to him ever but his kindness really makes him like a goid friend.
So he stops lift for me and says "biee..i can figure out from his tongue twisting and situation its "bye" 
He has some problem with speeach but he is the best speaker in a sense love n smile is his language.must be in his 40's living his life with dignity ...rising above all odds..
Those two ppl in buona vista in their 70's sitting all day and basking so that they earn becoz of their talent not becoz of their lost eyesight.

I cant fail to notice that old man in his late 80's sitting in a wheelchair at commonwealth mrt selling facial tissues 3 pack in a $.
Whenever i meet these guys my eyes get wet somewhere but my heart feels proud as God has made them strong to live their own.No matter if society takes them as person with disability they are specially able ppl who light not only their home but our heart as well 😊😊
