An Unforgettable Night at Miraj Railway Station

As we live our every breathe we don't know what is there in our destiny and when our fate changes. Even though there are many things which we can plan and move accordingly, but the future always remains unknown and at any point of time a packet of surprise may come and change your life or make your that very particular moment an unforgettable one.

Something unforgettable happened with me too during the winter vacation of 2012 that makes me remember the moment, has increased my faith in God and remembering which always a smile comes on my face.

It was vacation time, after I had completed my 4th semester of B.Tech I was home in Belgaum and my father was planning to visit our hometown since it was quite a long time that I visited that place and met my grandparents too. So according to the plan we booked our tickets and reached the Belgaum station on the date of start of our journey. To reach my hometown from Belgaum is quite a challenging job... :P since we have to change a lot of trains and other transportation modes.
And on the day of our journey we started. First train was from Belgaum to Miraj on we which we had quite a safe and comfortable journey. Our next train was from Miraj, my father had said we had enough time so we planned to have our dinner at the moment itself. As soon as our dinner was over something came to his mind and just to confirm the train timing he took out the tickets. And to our surprise the train was about to leave the station within few minutes. In a hurry he went to the inquiry counter to know on which platform the train was standing, the moment he went, the gentleman besides me told that the train was on the same platform- in front of us. I looked for my father and saw him coming pointing towards the train. I asked him if I should start putting luggage inside the train and started doing so. We had quite a few luggages, after I was done with half of them the train started moving slowly, simultaneously my father was also doing so and we were finally left with a backpack with me and an American tourister trolley bag with him. Since the train was just speeding up we decided that I would board the train first and then my dad. As I did so I slipped and fell on the platform, this caused quite chaos nearby since it could have been a life losing accident. The train kept on speeding and we ran with it shouting and asking people to pull the emergency chain in the train. But nobody did so and we were sadly watching our luggage go with the train. When we stopped, a man who was following us asked if he could help us. We explained him our condition and that if it would be possible to find an auto-rickshaw and catch the train at next station. Fortunately, the man himself was an auto-driver and said that he would make us reach there but that may charge more, to which my father agreed. I was scared that we might miss the train at the next station too, but without wasting time the driver brought his vehicle and soon we were on the Miraj roadways. I wanted to explore the beautiful place but that was a wrong time.

I was praying Ganpati that we should reach safe and catch the train. The driver was trying his best to drive safely in such a high speed. He also took some short-cut ways, went through uneven roads and in the process he was damaging some of his vehicle parts but he seemed fined with it and wholeheartedly wanted to help us.

Soon we reached the next station, ran, crossed railway-tracks heading towards the platform where the train was standing. Then we took a deep breathe, and then again started to search for the compartment where our luggage was, fortunately this didn't take much time and we also boarded on the train. In this whole process the auto-driver was with us, if he wanted he could have done his job of dropping us till the station and left us but NO he was with us till we boarded the train safely. It was only then that he took his charge. We thanked him a lot and thanked God for sending someone to help us.

This taught me a lesson that always be attentive and I came to know the importance of life. The moment I had, I could see death from so near. That moment made me realize how short life is and how short it can be. We need to live every moment, for us and for others.

This incident also increased my faith in God, whatever he does is good for us, many a times he makes things happen so that we may realise the importance of those specific things, time, love, money etc...
So just have faith in him and do your job.

For my Angel Mother

Call her Mom, Maa, Mummy, Mother, Amma or by any other name but she still remains the same... The only person in this whole world who can understand you without hearing a word from you. 

Being quite far, my mom is still close to my heart. And even now she understands me before I could say anything to her. Whatever be the situations she has always supported me and taken my side, has fought with the world just for me. There were many situations I remember that I have fought with her, without any reason shouted at her and still it was always her to talk to me first to make everything okay... Now if I look back on my life I wonder if I ever thanked her for whatever she has done for me, for always standing with me, for always being with me to double my happiness and share my sorrows and accept me the way I am. I have forgotten to express my gratitude for anything, and I want to thank you now. Thank You for your Love and Care, Thank you for being with me always, Thank you for every little thing you did for me without even letting me know.

Love you a lot Maa...

And I hope that even though I haven't expressed my love for you but you have known all along that how much you are loved and appreciated... 

 

Kaliyaan sirf ek hi baar khilti hain

Zindagi sirf ek hi baar milti hai

Milte hain log hazaaron magar

Har galtiyon ko maaf karnewaali Maa sirf ek hi baar milti hai

Duniyaa chahe ho jaaye hamaare khilaaf

Maa magar hamesha hamaare saath rehti hai

Hamaare har galtiyon ke saath apnaane waali

Maa hamein sirf ek... aur ek hi baar milti hai

Zaroor punya kiya hoga kisi janam mein maine Maa

Ki mujhe milee tum aur mamtaa tumhaari

Shukraguzaar hoon main uss Ishwar ki

Jinhone di mujhe Maa tum si Pyaari...

There has never been, nor there will be anything more special for me than your Love.

All that I am, or hope to be, I Owe to my Angel Mother... Happy Mother's Day Maa......

Happy Birthday Papaji :)

Dear Papaji 'Happy Birthday to you'
May this day bring you a lot of happiness and joy. May all your wishes come true. I pray for your long life with the pleasures of good health and wealth.
Unlike every time on your birthday this time my gift for you is not any materialistic thing but a 'promise', a promise from a daughter to her father, from me to you. I will try to be a good daughter and will try to follow whatever you say and will try to keep you happy with all possible ways.
Last time I felt bad since the letter which I gave you with the greeting card made you emotional, you thought what was written on it was original stuff, the written thing was copied but I swear the feelings were same I felt exactly what I had copied and written.
Anyways from now I promise to self dependent and also write originals.
I promise to be sincere and hardworking.
I promise I will never hurt you and you understand me always.
              Love you dearest Daddy.....:)
You are out of the world and still the best dad on this planet. weird naa.. hahaha...pj.
                   HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The Bond of Friendship...

A friend is a companion who understands us and whom we understand. They are there for each other always   and without even expressing the feelings, a friend gets to know about it. There are many friends just for the name sake but the one who is very close to your heart and with whom you can share most of the things is your best friend.

Even I do have a friend, named Surbhi, "SURBHI SHARMA" a best friend, an ideal girl, ideal daughter of her parents, ideal sister of her brother. She is my best friend. Say it by luck or by chance, that I have created this blog and got the way to create it just because of her so thought of dedicating it to her.

It is truly anonymously said that-

           "  Some friendships are created by nature,

                some by interests and some by souls."

Ours is a friendship created by "Souls". How can it be, except by the miracle of friendship, that someone can know you so well even with telling virtually nothing about your feelings. A friend is what your heart needs all the time.

Surbhi and me, we both are among those military personnel's daughters who have to change there places and schools after a regular interval of 4 to 5 years. So our classmates and friends were always changing. And it was in Patiala where we met. She joined our school in the month of May, 2008 when we were studying in class tenth. At that time I did not realize that it is she who will become my fast friend. In tenth class we were just good friends with one more girl named Malavika in our group. We have sweet memories of those days. But Malavika got separated from us as soon as we passed our tenth standard results were declared. She had shifted to Bangalore due to her father's transfer over there. Then in eleventh class it was only Surbhi and me together so we became bench-mates and it was here that our story of true friendship starts. We then used to sit together, eat lunch together, study together and even spend our free time together sitting and chatting. We even used to share many secrets and discuss problems with each other.

I don't remember if she ever needed me for help or not, but she was always there whenever I needed her help and support.

I remember there were many days in the schools when was a half-a-day working and I did't have vehicle arrangement to go home, it was she who dropped me to my home on her scooty. Another incident I remember was on 31st December, 2010 when it was my sister's birthday and at that time my father was posted to Belgaum and so I had to buy cake and other stuffs for the birthday. That day it was with her that I went for shopping on her scooty. Without her the birthday party of my sister wouldn't have gone according to the plan. It was that day only when we had "Chat Papdi"for the first and last time together in "Gopal Sweets". It is still a very sweet and memorable moment for me.

When we were in twelfth class and during the period when I was quite depressed with the situation and that I was scoring low marks which I was scoring made me more irritated and frustrated. So simply with no reason I stopped talking to her, we didn't talk for a week. GOD I don't believe I did this to her, she was feeling very bad. I realized it later when I was in quite a stable state. I don't know if I apologized her for that or not but for sure she forgave me.

And since then I understood how important she is for me and her love and compassion for me too. 

Surbhi... I will be there for you... just remember me when you need me and feel free to talk anytime...:)

Now its past two years that we have not seen each other and are staying so far she in Patiala, Punjab and me in Kollam, Kerala, but our bond of friendship is still the same. It is as strong as it was before and I still feel that she is somewhere around me.

                                 This is the true bond of FRIENDSHIP...
