चाहत एसी हो की मुलाक़ात भी बरकत लगे | इबादत ऐसी हो की चाहत भी कम  लगे ||  पहाड़ो से इश्क़ एक तरफ़ा ही सही |  पर ऐतबार ऐसी की जुनूनीयत  भी कम  लगे ||  हक़ भले ना हो मेरा उसपे |  पर मोहब्बत ऐसी की बेइंतेहा भी कम  लगे || Hampi is Ecstasy...  Hampi is Bliss... Hampi is afterworld... It was supposedly a trip to Pondicherry but somehow after much alterations and discussion, we ended up finalizing Hampi, around 250kms from the dying city of Bangalore.  I call this a dying city for a reason, groundwater at 1000ft thousand feet. Anyway back on track A car ride from Bangalore, it took us around 7 hours. I will not boast about it, but I only drove for like 30 odd km... All through the journey, we see wind turbines(a good sign of being environment-friendly)... btw how does the Zoomcar work? I m not asking you, this is what I was thinking when we were going to get the car early morning, parked in a residential complex in front of a house. Neatly cleaned, new perfume a

आज कुछ दोस्त बहुत याद आये   गुज़रा हुआ लम्हा वो साथ लाये  यूँ ही दोस्त हमारे सारे अपने रस्ते निकल गए  कुछ पीछे रुक गए तो कुछ आगे निकल गए  यूँ तो अजीब लगा जो ये चेहरे बदल गए  फिर वक़्त के साथ हम भी सम्हाल गए  आज बहुत दूर आगये है हम  याद में भी आये तो किस्मत है हमारी  पर वो वक़्त साथ जिया है हमने ये नियति है हमारी  ज़िन्दगी उन्ही पलों में समेट  ले कोशिश है हमारी !!! it has been four years,  four long years.... anyone who reads my blog asks me the reason for writing a poem at the start of blog, I wrote this a long time ago(maybe just after college days), felt like sharing it, why waste another blog for this poem :) Enough of sentiayapa, let's get back to the blog now! I have always confessed my love for  the mountains. One such place is Dalhousie, I had been thinking of going there for a while. I would be lying if I told you, I was not worried. the reason was pretty simple, it was a bike trip deep in the mountains. I don't count

इक्क कुड़ी जिदा नाम मोहब्बत   गुम है, गुम है, गुम है..  इक्क कुड़ी जिदा नाम मोहब्बत  गुम है, गुम है, गुम है..  ओ साद मुरादी, सोहनी फब्बत  गुम है, गुम है,  गुम है  गुम है, गुम है, गुम है and she just wished she was the one... never did she know she was the one... Anyways let's get on the trip, this time, there was no plan as such. I had planned on going to Rishikesh, Lansdowne and to my alma mater in Mussoorie. I had a bike and for a second, I thought of doing this trip. I somehow stumbled upon a website named meetup, there were numerous weekend plans on this site. I don't deny it ever, I have an ultimate love for hill stations maybe someday I wish to have a home on one of those mountains. Finally, I made up my mind and I had very little time at my disposal to decide, I called up the person in charge of the trip at around 05:00pm in the evening.  The only thing I asked him ki "Buddy, I have an issue, there shouldn't be issues with people" and
