Hey All !!

30+ Days in Jakarta n of-course Nights too ;) !!

While rewinding the last month backup mind-tape.....I was in doubt to get the best fraction of it.

From the very first day visit of Indonesian Disc [X-2] to last week Cocktail Movie @Grand Indonesia Mall.... 

It was huge to sync ... The Bellezza Beauty, Contrywood Chasteness, Kristal Pools, Taman-Safari n Punchuk Moments, Anyer Beaches, The Krakatoa Volcano, The Malio-Boro, office-site PIM, Hampton heights, Ancol Sea-World and Atlantica Water-Park along-with the huge all-time traffic (Machad) and daily greetings like Thank You (teri-ma-ka-sih) and good Morning (selamat pagi).

I have enjoyed almost all the palaces and instances at extreme... yet but I was little thinking...and kept on thinking......
Which one was the best??
Of-course you can't compare a Night-Disc with Sea-World Oceanarium or any Beach with a Volcano site!!
As at every place, we had seen what we had come here to see.
Though I was in dilemma as I am a traveler and not a tourist and "Traveler sees what he sees!! " 
What does it mean?? 

Travelers have any third eye :P????...or.... the Tourist usually be out of vision???????

I really failed to get the any difference.... I was confused and not agree with Mr. G. K. Chesterton at all.

I was not agreed till my voyage to Krakatoa Volcano.

5 hours Bus Journey to Anyer Beach followed by 2 Hours on Boat and then 1 KM trekking.. :|

Wo wo!!....Its damn easy to read rather than act !!:P 

On Top n Lost !!

But.....Yes ... The Krakatoa!!...It was the best one !! 

Why?? Why In all ..this one was the best.... ??


Do I was surrounded by the beauty babes??......No :(
Do I was roaming with my best of my buddies??.....No  :|
Do I was on free trip as a winner of a lucky draw??....No  :P
Do I get my Dream Girl here to whom I was looking for??.....No ;(
But Yes... I got the vision... I saw what only I saw ... :)


Feelings and moments were expression less.... Its gives you a joy that only you can understand.

Only Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, They had felt that pleasure of very first mount Everest ride.

Yes...I was lost...I was lost in a vision to get the top and take a view of the best-known Krakatoa, culminated in a series of massive explosions on August 26–27, 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic events in modern and recorded history. It was a volcanic island made of lava in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.

Volcano - Sulpher

It was a isolated Island and I was feeling so disconnected from the world like No Signals, No Social life, No Digital life, No boom of the city..... Only water, sand, rocks, island trees and greens!! 

On the top, there was connected Volcano summit open, vast and smokey. It was all around the white color Sulfuric ash, with white smoke..... It was a panoramic view..Hills and Sea all around...It was just awesome.. and I was amazed and lost.

Un-bounded!!

This was not the end, and there was one more attraction for the day... Snorkeling!!


The Glasses and Jaw-fixed mouth pipe, that all I got and jumped into the sea-salty-water. It was my first time and I was like floating in the territories of the fishes - all color and all size, along with the sea-plants moving dramatically in the water...so smooth and so silky.... I was the guest for them and they all were entertaining me....with their different kind of moves.


I was lost again....wowwwww !!


Hey all..this is not the end...It's a start ...Pack ur bags....and Go >>>>
You don't need to choose any specific country or destination ...just go where ur fuel limit allows you :P
This is the time....make a balance between work and life.... njoy with your family... plan such small trips... n see the difference... personally, practically and professionally.


Go Man....Go....Lets Get Lost !! :)

@Bhoopi ... njoy the shaking Indonesia ... 8.7 magnitude ;)

Morning by 7 AM, we touched the wide ambit of Ganga as well as our dome shaped camps.

The ambiance surrounded by series of sky-touching cliffs along with The Ganga was just awesome.

After having upto throat breakfast, we were recharged enough to make the hell out of fun and perform any task.But circumstantially River Rafting finally had scheduled for the coming day and we were free to roam as per the wish for the rest of the day.

So, we spend the day with hand-on-volley ball matches, noon-cocktail-party, afternoon-refreshing-nap, evening-water-fall-visit followed by the night-bonfire-booze!!

Meanwhile boozing, my phone rang and a girl proclaimed  "Hey, 18 ko tere ko Kanpur aana h...and Aaana hi hai......."Oh Neha, kya hai 18 ko??"....Meri Engagement final ho gayi h!!""...I really was not required to interrupt her as she was flowing faster than Ganga.
I reverted "Coming 18...Wednesday!...can't u wait for weekend..itni bhi kya jaldi h??....so r u really??...what about your di!!"... as she is the younger one.

She implied "Hmmm...Usske liye bhi dekh rahe hai...Tu soch le ek barr firr!".

I mumbled "I am not coming, its weekday....in mid..sorry!! bbye!!".

"Ek barr firr soch le...m I really thinking??...not possible!!..I can't..I m not gud enough for her!!"...n that spoiled my ....n resulted into two extra packs.

Next day...aaahhh!!..got a kick on *s!! [Pilada..keep observing :)].
"Get up..take breakfast n be ready for the Rafting!...we will go Marine for 24 KM rafting!"

Approx by noon, we were ready to raft with our Helmets (@Abhi: Saale seedha ker!), Paddle, Life-Jacket(It means folk!!) and countless no. of instructions and restrictions.

So we started, 6 on a raft, with our Made-in-China Instructor... Me and Abu lead the raft by moving paddle forward as instructed.
Rohit asked to instructer " Is it safe? koi mara hai abb tak??"..answered.."safe h sir..kuch nhi hoga!"
We had signed the "All-My-Responsibility" form and I signed for Rohit too :)
Rohit again " Yaar..mujhe swimming nahi aati..** kaha le aaye tum log."
Rajesh "Beta, Ganga Kurbaani maangti h!..Hey Ganga Maiya..Rohit ki bali sweekar karo!!"
Abhi "Buddy, Paddle forward, follow instructor command!!"..and putting one of his leg out of raft...saala, bada aaya Officer!!  :P
Bhakar "Abhi to kuch nhi yaar...Aaagey Majje aane waale hai...khatru Rapids aayenge!"

After the quiet flow of 1 hour, and crossing some normal rapids...we were confidenced for the rest of distance.Bhakar still continued "Aaagey Majje aane waale hai".

And instructor declared.."Sir, next one is Roller Coaster..start padle forwarding!"

We interred in the rapid...It was like water storm..raft moved down... "Forward fast!!"...moved up...HUMPED.."Forward faster!!"..Shouts...n SPLASHED!!

I was Deep in Blue.....in PEACE..Extreme PEACE....Paddle in Hand, Helmet on Head and I was in peace..."No vocals..No shouts..Nothing..jst PEACE!!"
I was trying to re-get Me, and thinking only of me, my past, my deeds, my relations, my life, my failure, my strength, and my future if I survived. 
Worth to its mean..Life Jacket..float me UP..And I was floating and fighting with Ups and Downs of streams...leaving raft behind..I was moving with the flow.

I was panicked but handling the waves classically so that I can breath properly ,but suddenly got extra weight n pressure "Bhai..bacha le mujhe..Main Mer Jaaungaa..." and I was below level for 3-5 seconds..WTF!! [Sorry Pilada..can't hold here!!]
"Leave me..saale...Life Jacket hai tere pass...Leave!!" I ried my level best n resisted.

"Bahi..Nai..Main Mer raha hun...Nitish!"..gulping water Pankaj wailed.
"** Panic na ho..Leave me..You will float..You have the Jacket"I suggested,but all in vain.
Breathing was getting harder even for me..as well ...as we were trying like best to sink other.
for the next 300 Meters, we were floating like fighting with each other and for life.

After 500M humping voyage, waves calmed and We saw a raft coming to us. They rinsed their paddle to help   us and here also Bhakerr jumped

first to hold it n I followed him. We were on the raft, Abhi also managed to get-over the raft. So At-least we 3 were alive..and...we were expressionless.

Our paddle and slippers were flowing in front of us, but that was not important enough..The important thing was" Where are the other 3???"

I was worried as I didn't find anyone floating either...and Bhojak...jst Married ..Oh God!!
Meanwhile I heard a call from other raft from a distance "Hey All, 3 folks are waiting behind."...end that was the much.. much needed announcement ...thanks GOD..Thanks a lot!!

We met...hugged...laughed and started our voyage again.
It was special...amazing!!
The rest of the journey...
Rohit was padling with suffix... forward Jai Mata Di..stooop Jai Mata Di!!
Abhi was sitting properly with both leg on the raft only.
Bhakar...thanking god n describing his meet with "Black_Buffalo_Rider_Mr.Yamraaj"
Rajesh...teasing us as he was over the raft within 2 seconds after impact.
Abu... describing his under-raft-efforts.
And ME... Almost Quiet..thinking about that Deep in Blue... PEACE n our destiny.

soon we arrived nearby the cliff jumping spot and I dared to do so.
I dared to do so because....I wanted to feel that Peace again....the calmness of absolute pure Ganga!!
While moving out, a girl realized me that I had hurt myself and was bleeding!..
nywy the girl was damn beautiful too..so I was smiling with my bleeding lips n blushing.. :)

damn MIND...few minutes before I was thinking abt PEACE and now I am ;)
That is called LIFE...!!


Isn't???? 

OR May be as Punched to me... "That's not Life, dats we Bouys...Gender Problem" ;)

From Amritsar...with Love??

India lost Gambhir.....during tuning in hope of new tracks, FM98.3 declared. :(

Meanwhile, Rajdhani had started to slow down gradually and with starting beep tone "ting-tong", pre-recorded audio Aunty uttered ...."We have reached Amritsar!! Welcome to the Guru City". Finally.....We have reached Amritsar!!..after 6hours from Delhi, of course to visit & explore the great Golden-Temple..... ssshhh!! n one hidden desire of mine too.

Being with 9 bachelors in a dry city...where no liquor allowed || We were treating as GURU City..... It was hard to engage everyone together in a herd.... as we all got spread in the street-nets as spiders in group of 2 to 3.

All sudden, while searching for a lodge...I numbed and turn-backed...with blank mind...alll blankkkkk...........................my heart got started pumping fast....feet going somewhere...following no one......body behaving like chameleon and getting pale......mind recalling all............alllllllllllllllll.

After introvert phenomenal exercise of 5 mins, my mind self-queried:

is she Madhvi??

Madhvi .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And brain n heart had started chatting with each other.

Yes, she is, along-with her mother. Amritsar is her hometown...but she was working somewhere in Pune or Mumbai. Is she on a visit to her family?? may be, god inside the temple better knows.

But our timings can't be that perfect...I am not even in touch with her since 12Jan, 2011......(WTF!!..I still remember that date...and last week forgot to wish dad on his anniversary...WTF!!).

..... oh yup.. that was her fault...she was fucking using me as time-pass.......but No... I was also enjoying her company and It was my fault as I should not share those harsh words with her that night....on FB chat........left brain n right brain, both were fighting as active-passive node with their counters.

Left countered again ..... "She loves only money...nothing else...first Saurabh n then me".

Right protected her..... She never forced...never proposed...only treated me as a friend.

Friend?? that movie, rain dance, 3-4 hour daily talk, making dinner for me...what was that?

Then why after leaving Wipro, 3-4 hrs daily talk squeezed to 3-4 hours monthly FB Chat?

I was started liking her....and she....she was so sweet when she was in Wipro, we used to take lunches together....she promised me to get in touch in future too...then why??

All that rage got busted after 2-3 beers that day into the FB chat.

Don't no....Alcohol gives us the power to face the real facts, which we don't want to ......or just It is a case with me only....Really don't no!

That was the last discussion with her, I was not in contact with her...or I can tell the truth, She had done me unfriend, and broken all the links. I tried to search her on internet-world, however, failed.

I don't know whether I just liked her or loved her.

Even I don't know whether she left me because I hurt her or because as she had left Wipro, and I was of no use now.

Though, the fact is that ....She was my hidden desire...and from the very first moment after entering the Amritsar city, I was looking for her.

Back to reality and that street ....I also made all my friends U-turn. She crossed me with no-acknowledgement. I was in great dilemma. I want to meet her but last FB chat was working as a breaker to my feet.

finally I followed her for next 300m...and she entered in to a Shani-Temple, where she used to go every Saturday.(Sometimes with me too!!)

I stopped outside, she opened her red bellies, washed her hands and I was watching her.

she purchased a oil-lamp, fire-sticks and I was watching her.

While waiting in queue, trying to arrange her curls from forehead, ring finger with curling bunch following middle finger routing through ear, she looked at her left and all of the sudden...her fingers stoped. She had spotted me....focusing more .....then turning her head back to Shani statue ..... again turned to me.....and Ignored.

With no talk ..... we talked a lot.

I turned back towards my group....bought 2 gas balloons ...... set one free n kept the other one with me........no idea... absolutely no idea...why I did this!...no clue...all with the blank mind!!

Why did Wahe Guru try to meet both of us again...& Why even after, Wahe Guru did not make the conclusion.

Again....No Idea...as always!!

WaheGuru ji ka khalsa......WaheGuru ji ki fateh!!
