Journey Of Realization

Life is like a beautiful train where every passenger has the desire to reach their dreamland. You are your own companion who will be with you till end. There will be different stations in between where you will meet different people like different flavours of ice cream, each one giving you the taste of beautiful journey called life.

Starting all the way from Srerampore and hopping to Trivandrum, my train was in dilema to go in between Pune and Nagpur. But it finally declared it's next station as orange city and centre of India called Nagpur.

Nagpur was too hot to handle but to make friendship with this city, I became as cool as possible. My roomie was a sweet marathi girl called Vrushali , living with whom I became half marathi. We shared a great bonding in spite of being from two states. We together used to tackle tricky love of our houseowner aunty who used to find innovative ways to trouble us. In Maharastra, dabba system is very famous and both of us tasted almost every dabba of Nagpur in search for that perfect taste. But then I realized that no food can taste better than mother's hand cooked delicious food for which I was craving for. But the main attraction of Nagpur food was a golgappa wala from whom we used to have golgappa every week and it helped us to forget the horrible food of dabbawala by giving two extras everytime to us.

In my workplace, I used to participate in different events where I realized that beside tech skills, it is really important to water your creative tree hidden inside your heart, where you can bloom flower of innovation.

I always find a Dora the explorer inside me. Being a single daughter, My father always tried to meet his Moni whenever he used to get holiday. So we explored a lot of places together. Let me take you to travel those places through my words.

1. Dikshabhumi is a symbol of budhism that will make your heart and mind pure with magic of peace in this stressful world.

2. Ramtek is temple of Sree Ram filled with scenic beauty, mesmarization and a lot of monkeys. Near Ramtek, there is a lake called Kindsi where while doing boating there you can see the glow of sunset raining it's golden glitters into water of lake just from behind small mountain. Dragon palace of Budha can easily take you to the dreamland in seconds through it's enchanting music and peaceful environment.

3. Ganeshtekdi is a temple where lord ganesha resides in tree symbolizing the existance of faith.

4. There is also a place called Suraburdi where dadas jyoti linga are artificially created with waterfall of Shiva, Parbati and Ganesh.

6. Another attraction point was burdi where we used to buy latest earings and we became really known face to earring seller who came to know our weakness of earing and never used to become ready to bring down price. So afterwards we used to go hiding our faces with scarfs.

7. But the most happening place in Nagpur was Ajit's Bakery which was meeting point of TCSers with the never ending chit chats.

Another turning point of my life in Nagpur was losing almost 20 kg weight. Being a always happy girl, I never realized the urge to look slim. But when my father told me to change because of not fitting into a dress, triggered me a lot and I determined to step towards fitness.

In Nagpur there was a small bengali group of 13 people where everyone has a golden heart and I could feel the vibe of mini bengal everyday. My Longi team was also a great fun to work with. I even directed a skit including them all but it got cancelled as my always single and Nagpur's friend Ashu was groom in that skit. So overall Nagpur was a roller coaster ride of friendship with a twist of betrayal, happiness with a pinch of sadness making the tastiest recipe called Life that has a bucket full of memories.
