Leaving on a Jet Plane

One more long journey comes to a beautiful end. 2 countries, 3 weeks, 4 cities, and numerous train/airplane/cab journeys later, I'm heading back home. All smiles and tears, with several stories to tell and incidents to narrate, I'm worried if my passport has enough blank pages left for my next trip already!

Life, back home, will be as usual. Just checked again for the 314159th time that I have home keys safe with me. Thank God, I'll not have to worry about finding a free Wi-Fi spot anymore. My home broadband will need a kick or a kick-start, hope something works. Rest, life will be back on track within a day. 

This time, I'm resolving to unpack my bags soon, like within next 2 weeks. Reasonable, right? Usually, first thing to leave my bag is my Footwear. Rest of the objects follow a random order of necessity and memory. Necessity is usually the likes of workout clothes, socks, etc. when I run out of my home stash; and memory leads me to packets of chocolates tucked away in some corner of the bag.

Until next time, here is a glimpse of my travel -  October 2017

Interesting note from the Bike owner ("I can see this bike from where I am. The minute you mess with it, I'll call the NYPD). This is some threat by the way! 

Hotel Hudson - Located in an absolute prime location of Manhattan. These galleries tend to look even narrower sometimes
I thoroughly enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast after morning workout. There is something about Hotel fitness centers, hmm. 
Cinnabon rolls, they were lip-smackingly delicious, soft and light! But I've never been more guilty than my state after finishing a small serving of 5 buns, all by myself. 
My first stay at Ritz Carlton, Buckhead, Atlanta
Airport Taco-  'Vegan Mediterranean Taco' bought at the Atlanta International airport food court. It looked quite unappetizing, but was soft, flavorful and portion size sufficent for a small snack.
Hiked from Alpe Foppa to Monte Tamaro, Lucarno, Switzerland

Wildfire

Placing the glass down gently, he looked fiercely into her eyes, His smile fading into a thin line, his gaze pierced her sighs Savoring a sip of dark wine, she struggled to keep her nerves, Slouching deeper into her fantasy, she spilled the drink past her curves Inching closer swiftly, he blazed with passion and anxious desire, Embracing the unknown, she let his love engulf her like wildfire

Misty eyes

Feeling so trivial, sitting beneath the stars, Staring at vast infinity, abandoning the pain in her heart Dreaming of a magical place, grinning with misty eyes, Cherishing the silvery moon, winking back at the fireflies Wearing a robe of hope, bearing the cold test of time, Deafening stark silence, freezing the voices in her mind Crawling away from the shadows, drawing up a firm line, Praying for more strength, hoping for a life divine

Intricacies of Life

A thought on this matter makes me realise that, to me, my life seems no better than that of a trivial micro-organism striving to survive in the fauna. The tiny being concealed in the nodes of gravely entangled submerged roots of a vast tree.The venerably aged tree providing abode to infinitesimal beings. Its umpteen branches slightly bending to kiss the surface of water with every gentle breeze. The changing season bringing in many new forms of life, fresh leaves and flowers filling the nude branches and the rain blessing all with a refreshing ambiance. The Darwin Theory gets reinforced every passing moment too, only the fittest survives, be it life in green waters or a muddy patch. Every dweller is in a rush to grab the biggest portion of the available resource,sunlight, land, power and nutrients to not just fill their stomachs but their food reserves and their pockets as well. It stands true for every inhabitant of the pond, from puny organisms to the big fish who rule with th...
