Memories

I value and cherish my memories. Always like going back to them. My memories usually seem to remain intact. I've shared a memorable moment with few of my friends when we toiled up to climb up a 18,000 foot mountain. Standing there on the summit after eights days with an ocean of jagged peaks, rock and snow as far as you could see. With my friends i can always go back to that moment of bliss.

But you feel extremely unsettled when you can't go back to a memory created with someone. Because that memory doesnt mean the same to the other person. Suddenly one of my most priced possession is lost. I dont like it when it happens to my memories.

I'll grow i'll learn to accept that your memories are yours, irrespective of the fact that others have forgotten about it. Maybe the people you create a memory with are extremely important, without whom that memory is lost. Then i guess i'll be more careful with whom i create memories.
I'll learn. I'll accept. I'll grow.

Sunday Evening 'Cycles'

My recent monotonous life during my 'study leave' has thrown me into a new sunday routine. The one evening a week when i can take my bicycle and go cycling. Frustrated, mentally saturated and emotionally tired I pedal down from my house towards Chowapatty. The familiar open sea to my right and the familiar marine drive before me but from a different perspective.... pedaling on a silver cycle.

I dont know if its the gentle wind, the open road, the setting sun or the FM music on cell phone but suddenly (and always) my life transcends from turmoil and unrest to simple peace of mind. Its the most beautiful feeling it feels perfect You, your cycle and the open road.

I've been sticking to the same route over the last four weeks. Cycle down to nariman point, watch the sunset, cycle along Mantralaya to colaba and then through Fort, Ballard Estate and work your way back to marine drive and then home. Its nice to contemplate over your recent experiences, its nice to break into a sweat, its amazing to experience sheer human fueled power when you accelerate on your cycle.

Sunday Evening 'Cycles' thats what they are all about:-)
