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...

The moment of Curiosity and Learning :2013

When I talk about the moment of Curiosity and Learning then its literally take me to the year 2013 ...Yes ,You heard it right ...The Year 2013 when I was in my most curious state of mind because that was the year where i was appearing for my first board exam and i had lots of anxiety and curiousity going in my mind about future ..about how will i hold my life and how i will able to mould it the way i want ? But ,the most important thing was in my mind that "will i secure good marks" because the classmate i had back then were someone who would use to talk more and act less so they all had made it look like that its the cake walk for them and my mind was full of self doubt because i never felt like this and i don't think that anything is cake walk for me but anyway ....All of this sudden self doubt went away when i stood first in the that batch and the one who bragged stood nowhere ...that was my first lesson that never get carried away by someone 's pretentanious thing...
