Bodh Gaya : My Memories

Bodh Gaya ,It's a historical place ,It history dates back to many many years back during Mauryan King Ashoka .One who keeps keen interest in history knows about it . I as a person loves all those historical place ,haunted place and places of magic ,healing and mystry . I think myself as very adventurous person in my heart . Anything that exclusive mystry  tells some sort of story which appeals me ,so Bodh Gaya fits in that category very well . It is not the first time I visited Bodh Gaya ,It was back in 2011 when I visited Bodh Gaya for the first time ..I remember I was amazed by the architectural grandeur of the temple . I was small child back then ,so It was just a place of fun for me back then but This time When I visited the place ...I visited with new perception and it was place of tranquillity , peace and meditation for me .I meditated as well . Bodh Gaya and it's ambience never fails to amaze me as I am so fascinated by the peace that this place exudes . There are all positive ambience there like it makes you forget everything about your worries ,fear or any sort of anxiety .It's feels so light being there in the presence of meditating Buddha pose .It's not like that I went into Zen space always  but yes ,till the time you are in the place ,It's definitely feels like that . 


          After some distance inside the premises ,There is a Bodhi Tree where Buddha attained enlightenment. It's a symbolic tree as original tree is lost and this present tree is considered as 4th generation of the original tree . It is very symbolic and iconic in its own deeper meaning . People are crazy for the one leaves of the tree .I also kept some leaves with me from the tree . 
Well ,Moving ahead of the tree there as so many activities you get to perform inside the temple . I performed so many activities there but it was off camera as it wasn't allowed . Well ,Then after It was getting into night time slowly . So I wanted to see every place before sun set but it couldn't happen . I din't want to miss the beautiful sight of 80 feet tall Buddha statue in a meditating pose but I missed that as the gate was closed and I had to watch it from distance while sitting in a car with my cousins . Bad luck ,I guess next time but I surely didn't miss the other temple made by the kings of the south east nation . I went to see Metta Budharam Temple at night ..It was so amazing as it was all decked up in beautiful decorative lights . So ,I will talk about it in my next post .

My day on stage

It was 13.12.2023 ....I woke up early in the morning because I had to write my assignment .....Usually I wake up around 7'0 clock when i have no where to go about .... When I have to go then i wake up early because its take alot for me to get out from the sleep zone and focus on to the wordly activities. ...But this morning was quite different because I had to rush to deliver my topic on the stage . I was excited so it didn't take me much to zone out from the sleep. Usually Mornings are calm for me ...I am in no speaking zone but that day my mind was constantly speaking inwards about VS Naipaul. A Diasporic Author who is known across the world for his terrific writing in fiction . I had chosen this topic to deliver on the stage while all my mates had chosen common topic among them called Train to Pakistan which i had no idea about ...when i reached there in the hall I realized that only i m delivering topic on diasporic and felt out of blue but composed myself becau

A love letter to the year 2023 💌

Its so obvious that when a year is passing then its defintely a flow of emotions ,mixed feelings of keeping something with you and the idea of letting it go gives you euphoria packed with dichotomy .      Well ,Talking about the year 2023 ,Its been a good year with lots of ups and downs in my mental and  physical state . Looking back to the start of the year ...I find how things changes and how fast the day and night changes ... Those changes really put you through some amazing experience which you want to keep close  forever because you know that whatever the experience is be it good ,bad or ugly ...you can't create it again ..Every year gives you some moments of nostalgia ,some moments that you want to repeat again  ,while some moments you never want to visit ...A reflection of year gives you insight about how you were in the start of the year and what a year changes in your inner self nd in your sorroundings . I think that life is a beautiful journey mixed with lots of good ,bag

Holi :Through years in my memory lane .

 As Holi is approaching so far ,Its tomorrow...All I m feeling at this point is nostalgia through years .....Holi is a beautiful festival of colours which i like so much about it ...I love the whole idea of having white on the body and colour spalshing all over the face and your white clothes to make it highlight that life is always beautiful in colours .Our Scriptures talk about this beautiful festival which was celebrated for its beauty and its purity which is so lost in today's world where things are materilaized only for the sake of money ...that beauty of innocence which the festival carries is faded away but all we can do is to embrace the kind of life we are getting with times  . There are many times i go in the memeory lane and think about yester year holi celebrations its fills me so much positivity and happiness and i am quite sure that many would agree with me .          Holi ,A colourful festival which is all about food ,colours ,and the people v
