When I went on a Date...

-

Golden temple is one such place where the crowd is never ending, but today it was too crowded. It had to be, Purnima nights are always hell packed. I had come to this place almost a thousand times by now and always wished to say no to friend who visited me but I had to bring them here anyhow. I was standing after putting my shoes on the rack and waited for Aditi. I heard a thud, a man had fainted just behind us. It was hard to make out what really happened, just then Aditi made her move and the next thing I saw, she was near the guy checking his pulse and I knew the oath that every doctor takes has already overpowered here.

I closed in along with her.

The lad must be in his early thirties or say late twenties, how does it matter really 

“Please! Make way... I am a doctor. Let me take a look at him!” I heard her loud noise and all the calculation about the age of this lad went out the window.

she started with the pulse, to be frank he seemed too normal to me, just the dope face. Small beads of sweat, not an inch of whiteness on his face. I was about to ask her “let’s move, he is ok”

But she was already through with her next question. “Do you feel any pain in your chest?”

“No,” he nodded, why would he say yes I was thinking, he was just acting. The moment I was about to ask her again, she started off again. 
“Have you ever fainted before?” she questioned him methodically. “Yup, while standing for the lectures during assembly” I thought

“No...” he simply nodded. I killed the idea of asking “lets go” this time the moment it came to mind. And this time, I was happy about my decision to stay mum.

“Did you eat this morning?” I was wondering, did she even ask me this…
“No,” he answered, the crowd had almost vanished now, I was the one holding this 100kg garbage and we were asking him some wayward questions. But then, I didn’t ask her to go this time, rather I was waiting for next question.

“Okay... Don't worry. This might just be a low sugar situation. Drink this...” Did she just offer him the soft drink I was carrying to help me with the heat. 

“Your body needs sugar right now... You are very likely running low on blood sugar.” The knowledge was oozing out, the oath had done its duty. 

He seemed perfectly ok now, he got up and said “thankyou ma’am, I will eat something and will keep that in my mind to eat and move out from now onwards.”. I was about to say “ You should  bloody well do it.

“You should...." she stopped after seeing my face and quickly concluded "I should leave now, u will be fine now” finally those golden words from her. 

"Yes...” I almost blabbered let’s move yaar. Helped him while standing and he gave me a "hug" which wasn't required and left

“Get something to eat, alright?” she was sounding annoying now. I would not dare to tell her this.

“ Thank You”
“That's alright... I am glad I could help!” she was over extending her stay now, I would have strayed away, I stood my ground just for the fact that I liked her.

I'll tell you these one sided affair kills us so often and top of it, I thought it as a Date. Finally we walked into the golden temple 

“It was wonderful, let’s go and have something in that restaurant” she started off the moment we came out.

We reached the restaurant. She ordered a kulcha and I order a lassi. We talked for a while. I was looking at her and was thinking “ My God!!! She is beautiful “.

The waiter brought the bill. I had told her not bring her purse as it was too crowded to carry around,  as I reached for my wallet BOOM!!!! I was shocked ... It was missing. I knew I had felt something while that guy gave me a "Hug"....
He had pickpocketed me…….
I looked at her blankly and she looked amused……

Plz do comment about it

A visit to golden temple in the morning, we wanted to reach there by 0330 hrs but as it is we slept off till 0500 hrs and we somehow managed to reach before sunrise, the gurudwara was lit up beautifully and i managed to click one, it is a suggestion for anyone who visits amritsar do visit the gurudwara in the night, it looks beautiful and alluring.  Some more clicks have been uploaded and depicts the morning scenery of the place, it could have been a little better but anyways, i will try the night photography in future and will try to improve upon. And yes do give your feedback... दिनांक ०३/०९ /२०१६ the Main temple in between the taalab looks so beautiful at dawn as well at dusk people stand wherever they are during the final prayers line in the morning.. the Sun is rising and creates a beautiful लालिमा  the sky is all red  beautiful morning.... life is peace!!!!! the long queue to the main temple.... पवित्र डुबकी...

Someone told me  “So, you’re on Instagram? You must be an amazing photographer.” And I laughed… naah “Pujo” No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.     “It is   labour indeed that puts the difference on everything.” “ Colors are the smiles of nature” “ if only the flowers had souls” “clouds don’t follow the rules of architecture but they are still beautiful ” “ ye raat hamesha se haseen thi” “it was always a surprise in my childhood to open a LunchBox” “Smile is contagious” “he loves u more than himself” “If God had intended us to fly, he'd have never given us railways. ” “Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second” Bokeh  "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" “There are beautiful things and it is better to leave it the way they are… don’t alter them” “There are things which are made be...

वो पल

आज कुछ दोस्त बहुत याद आये   गुज़रा हुआ लम्हा वो साथ लाये  बैठा करते थे  साथ साथ  खेला करते थे साथ साथ  उड़ना  चाहते थे साथ साथ  दोस्त होने का मतलब समझ आता था उनके साथ   किनारों पर शोर ही होता है  पुराना दोस्त ही दोस्त होता है  काश और जीलेते हम उन पलों को  आज उनको याद करके थोड़ा बहलाते मन को  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

The War Memorial is located at the center of the Batasia Loop garden in Darjeeling. It has been created to honor the brave souls.... "Don't miss the view at any cost" ASH dyke on way to Darjeeling I would suggest you to reach the tiger point at the sunrise.. i missed out as we were a little the peak of Kanchenjunga looks golden "At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear" With a 2ft. gauge, the Darjeeling Hill RAilway is indeed a 'toy train' being the narrowest of the regular narrow gauges. The tiny century-old engine is connoisseur's delight. "How badly i wanted toy trains in my childhood, and here i was looking at the real toy train" The 86 km Darjeeling line has no tunnels, thus the traveler can have have an uninterrupted view of breath-taking scenery, the roads beside the tracks is a beautiful picture to take.. "mere sapne ko rani was not shot here, but for sure it could have been...
