Aastha...spreading belief

Syalna...thats the name I have been hearing since my childhood...thats the place where i have my roots. Born and brought up in Delhi i still dnt belong to this place fully. its been 30 yrs since i first saw this world and this is the first time i went to search my roots. If am a pure Delhite then same time i feel alien to the place when every few months i hv this urge to runaway from this city of Djinns and hide smwhere in the mountains. hence am a traveller at heart. And with my limits being a girl, my office and not much of friends around I try to find ways to runaway to my adorable hills...my life. I dnt need think of recharging my mobile....no need of thinking of my computer generated graphics....nothing virtual about this place. Everything is pure...air water and land. From concrete jungles to real green jungles...everything real! Although i hv been travelling quiet often to hills, metros and village is not my first experience...i hv been to my nani's place a lot many times ev...

Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder... - Henry David Thoreau

Ah yes my Trip....since my last post...i almost forgot this account.....no i dnt hv many blogs....i dnt believe in reading or writing so seriously ;) and thats the most apt reason for not writing since few months. So my trip was very interesting wid places like beautiful scapes of auli, the last village mana near mana pass on sino-india border and the vasudhara falls enroute to last steps followed by pandavas after mahabharat. Travelling wid myths and tales amidst beautiful places free from internet and mobile sewa is jus too cool and relaxing. Since my childhood i hv been reading folk tales and fairy tales both from india and russia. I hv always felt a connection between the two. same mountains, rivers, demons, child- a hero, the granny and when u r in garhwal wid all its mystique and beautiful faces these tales come alive. Some stories almost came live on this trip too.... myself and this friend Sangeeta(trip was her courtesy...thnx) were staying as Brigadier's guest at Joshimath...

Arey how cum i missed writing about my trip........jus wait for the next article and till then u can visit this to have a look: www.flickr.com/aasthad

Am 30...single and happy ...gud job...ofcourse salary is also gud (although we can never settle on that) a nice car .....this was materialistic....hv loads of friends...travel as i wish. So the topic is related to u folks too...i mean my friends...if i c all my friends ...many of them same as i described and some married, some wid kids too! IF u read newspapers and magazines the lifestyle section often talks about singles talkin about the singles and the types a) single and looking for marriage alliances b) single and not registered with shaadi.com or may be registered by their parents c) jus single and enjoing...ofcourse others are also enjoying life am sure wid all ups and downs of it. We all catch up wid friends , movies, shopping, pubbing etc. we are the same when we go out we c ppl like us walking hand in hand with smone . we r same age when to a single gal a commited man tries to flirt with jus actin smart. or a guy who's single being linked to anyother single person around...

Just visualize a girl...not so beautiful yet good looking, slim, fair...her eyes full of dreams, giggling....luvs travelling...want to go around the whole world...loves all the colors in the rainbow, wishes of those beautiful flowers, and lot more.... And think if this same girl if she is surrounded by Gandhis, yadavs, BJPs and LeTs, kasab, Blasts...Sensex, Nifty, Nuke deals and city traffic and office time and photoshop :-( This is me The other day when a friend calld up to ask where am i for last few weeks...and my reply was am bz coz my Bf(election) is coming after 5 yrs...I hope i'll b out of this mess soon Atleast i can b hopeful :-)
