Newbury ....through my eyes!


Newbury-Through my  eyes!

A small English town ….in the south western part of England…where peace and tranquillity have made their own abode. Life walks at a much indolent pace unlike a big city.

Typically, English weather prevails here with cloud and rain playing hide and seek…the summers are good with a few hot days to bring some joys in the lives of the dwellers.

Had read about those ale houses and those pristine swans which had been inspiration to many writers and poets….as they were the angels on earth…. so have fed those angels with some bread…have been to the ale houses where the  old lonely English man was in no hurry to gulp his beer…as he had ample of lazy hours to himself…have seen those boats in the canal where a few of the families or couples have made their safe haven, sailing here and there and just taking themselves out on rare occasions…..the strangest people yet happy people who live in water,….sail across….and make merry at night…awake in the morning….and another place…. another…destination!!

The stony pavements…..the small shops selling those hot pastries and cakes smells invigorating….inviting you inside to have a munch…the farmers market selling all those fresh things and the artifacts….the street musicians impeccably playing their tunes and I bet they have all the perfection…everybody so cheerful, so happy….moving in their own pace….the bells toll every day at the same time to complement the surroundings and life goes on….well, not to despise the old fisherman who sits and keeps his fishing rod hooked only to be greeted by some big catch someday…it's his hope which keeps him going, ....Newbury is a place like this… I had always read in my books… I had always fantasized  about…the small trivialities of the beautiful town attracts many peace loving people to stay here and relish some solitary hours amidst the woods and nature far away from the maddening crowd!

The Ultimate Realization!





Every single day I woke up and say to myself that ...



Every single day I woke up and say to myself that "it's a short life, may it be happy, may it be blissful, and may it have all the happiness!". But life has to go through much more than happiness and bliss. The darker side of life has always made my heart search for those answers which are unanswered.

No logic, no explanations and no theory have been able to give a satisfactory answer. Every single moment we are planning out new things, new enterprises, making plans of the unseen tomorrow and building sandcastles for the future but the irony is… do we exactly know what's there in store for us??

Life is flowing, life is moving, incapable of understanding its own destination where it ends. Death, the inevitable waits for us ..........can we explain it, can we judge it or can we evade it.....no one can or could ........but still we live every day reminiscing the past in our hearts....... living with those pain's which we have gone through......... life still moves it goes on and we as human beings play our cards, give the best shot and live a life which we consider as "planned and certain” but our strings are attached to that "somewhere" which we as human beings can never imagine.


The unseen, the unreal and the ubiquitous holds our strings but still as human beings we seem to be happy with our limited resource and confined thought imagining that "This is the ultimate" but life is beyond that ultimate. It’s the beginning from that end and that beginning has the powers which are not humanly, that is the permanent. So we as human being should reinforce the fact to our minds that life is transitory, nothing is ultimate....nothing is eternal ....nothing is forever.....!!


Carrying our world in our little pockets

As humans do we all think alike? Or as humans, we have some basic traits of behaving in a similar way because we are of the clone ...
