What is with Nature?

Who Creates these? Almighty can only do it:

Been a while I have been blogging, travelling yes but couldn't actually gather words to put down on a blog, been so overwhelmed with all the places I have visited and all the work that followed after. Well, I was on a date with the Himalayas' for past couple of months and few flirtatious dates with the Kangchenjunga and cloud caped hill and wet beaches of Indonesia - what a beauty and majestic charm it flaunts with the morning dew, probably won't get over it.

Coming back to hometown makes me dwell into a rabbit hole of thoughts that all the million's of words we read in poetry or of a cunning novelist who cage us with their character's so much that we forget the real world there is, yet we forget about them over the years and then there are these places we visit or probably won't visit and only have a glimpse of on back of a post card but yet will remember them probably whole of our lives and live it once again in a flash back before the curtain's fall. That's where I feel that expression through words do matter but much matters more is having a physical memory of a place, even if its in your hometown, you need to have a physical memory - evidence, that you have been there and it acts as an instant neuro surge of emotion's, memory, smell, even a interesting conversation we might have had with a random bob there but all that makes us feel, me feel, present.

We all have been there and somehow - we want to be there again, probably some of us want to stay there permanently yet being somewhere else. How cosmically interesting is that...

Happy dwelling if this teleport's you to somewhere, will meet you all again once you are back from there. 

Have a good one!

Lost Letters & Found Memories!

Aren't We Gathering Digital Dust?

The whole travelling idea is made out of a single insemination of an urge to break free. ain't it? Where we are clouded by the hustle and bustle of the daily monotonous life, the same old 9-5, with no new faces to interact with, the deadlines getting humped on with bills to pay, it becomes overwhelming for a normal individual, which makes him / her stop at busy red light, with the fumes of dream's guzzling engines roaring around and to plumet into a never ending thought - "when to have a  breath of freedom?"

The good old day's stories we hear from our elder's where they crossed a whole natural battlefield to get to their school on time or a very commonly shared story of them seating under a street light to study for their exam's but yet apart from all those said hardship's of their's they always managed to gather a pool of money amongst friends, family or even their community neighborhood to travel together in a well aged bus and still be comfortably happy and click pictures for us to find years later today - think about that?

In today's era where hashtag's get your memories bona fide or number's of comment's and like approves the trip or the picture, it fail's against our elder's faded photograph which they have comfortably tucked away in an old album or that well aged leather wallet penny pocket, which carries an actual worth even in monetary means, google it for some lost and found post card's, letters, picture which go for an jaw dropping auction, who while clicking it never thought it would mean so much one day. While we yap around with a expensive camera in a brick we carry around in our pockets nowadays with no need to develop the image until later to find out how it actually came, I personally think we as a generation are missing out the actual fun it could have been in today's time, I know few of us out there are still using the old tech with a bit of expense but hey! that's a joy for some and a respectable one against the digital dust we are collecting on server's we might even not know where.

Ahhh! But it is indeed such a sensory pleasure to get hold of physical memories, its like holding a memory neuron in your hand and viewing it in a AI generated exploded view. I always make it a point to click a picture or at least find a post card from the local shop where I am visiting and send it back with my handwritten word's on it to myself and my close one's, the sheer joy it brings to me and them when they receive it is priceless and some how gives a reason to come back home anyways. Weirdly comforting!

Do you have any such physical photographs you just found recently which you never knew of or which had taken a free dive in the dark canyon of your forgotten memories in your brain but had bit of shadow looming somewhere in your heart and made you say "I thought I had lost this one." Go find one if you have the glimmer shinning after reading this, will meet you again once we cherish the same once found.

Go write that letter you always wanted - Go turn that picture around with a faded message written behind. That's the gold mine we are actually longing for.

Thought of Blogging with Vlogging!

My First Blog!

Hi, Internet or shall I still say Reader's? The world has become so small in all these years where one can virtually be at multiple places from a single location, what an irony! Well, so I too thought why not me, I am Nirmal Shah or also known as Roadster on youtube and now dipping my fingers in writing blog's too.

I ride a Royal Enfield Classic 500 and take it to places where one would not like to venture on but that's where the fun starts, I have never held myself back from trying out new stuff and experimenting with different combination's of experiences in my life - some say its crazy but well hey! who needs to be sober in this high life. Keeps things excited and helps not get bored easily with a monotonous routine.

I have no prior experience in writings blogs and posting my experience's into words, I do write a daily diary but I guess this would be new experiment I would love to try and explore how the world of Internet respond to it. Don't have no steady plan or format of how I would be posting on this blog of mine but I would be natural and wont be to grammatical. 

On writing my first blog I am simultaneously thinking of how I started this whole journey of mine and somewhere back of my mind I know it flows in my blood due to my mother being from Indonesia, where weekends are dedicated to family or either friends, where people tend to pack up their bag's, throw it in their car's or strap it on to their motorcycles and head out early in the morning to a beach, forest for a camping night and be back before the new week start's and head on forcefully to the routine week until to repeat it again. Don't we all do the same? but with a less of adventure on the weekends. Correct me if I am wrong...

I feel that every week should have your very own 'south-paw', something you don't know of but you need to have a glimpse of experience of it, just to add that missing spice in your spaghetti of life and I guess that will solve many tangles in one's life in one slurp at a time. It works for me. Just being ready or known to what's coming your way keep's you alert and pumped but simultaneously open to learning from the experience of it, even though you don't know what you would learn from it but subconsciously you will. And you know that as you have already experienced it believe it or not!

It's amazing how we learn more from outside rather than going through pages of knowledge and a picture here and there which gives you goal's in life but not the right motivation to go and chase it until and unless you do it none the less to figure out "oh! that was amazing", just like a roller coaster ride, looking at it from far you think of riding it one day then you actually gather the guts to get in the line to ride it being all scared with a million ill thought's until you buckle up and scream your lungs out of fear, joy, excitement, happiness, adrenaline rush and till the end when you get over with the ride coming out of it you think "that was amazing, shall I try again?" and you get outside to see the ride and see the people riding it and you think to yourself "I already achieved that experience and joy" and for that particular moment you are senior in the world of people who are yet to experience it. That's all life is about. One at a time.

Thinking of keeping our roller coaster ride on, see you on the next one!

I Introspected...

Baaam!! Hit my Thermometer up to 47°c and I was straight into the ocean of blankets and like a submarine galloped into rest for a week. Just like you, I too intially believed I was hit with the dodge ball of C-19 but lucky me it was just the weather change flu and believe me I swallowed a big lump of air then.

2020 is the south paw of mother nature to us, I feel personally as it has been relentless this whole year, Life has been delayed for all of us - we aren't actually Living - Living. Are we? Well, sitting on the bed with all that pampering of tomato-corn soups, no rush rush timetable at home and catching up to all my OTT shows, I thought to myself "Isn't this what we all wanted?" 

After cursing our bosses, HR for no rise in pay, dumping instagram stories of boring monday vibes, how the mountains are calling and we must go and other gazillion complains of how monotonous our lives were but suddenly all our prayers are answered but we are still at that same instagram story dumping phase and complaining, even though bruce allmighty has selected all and said yes to everyone of our prayers, Why so?

And then it dawned on me, its our human nature, no matter how achieved we become we will still complain, we reach a mountain peak we say to ourselves I will climb a higher one, we hit a good beach - I will go to a better one, We eat a good meal - nah! The other joint is better and so on and so forth you get the idea. But we are never satisfied. I guess its been coded into our DNA since our school days to keep performing better, they coded it in good manner but just like every coin has a flip side the same happened with us - we constantly seek something better and if not get bored, dissatisfied, demoralised and other mental illness stuff comes in and a complex human brain is put into a sheer havoc!

The solution - Be Satisfied in what you are, who you are and where you are, you will see the magic happen called life! Its much more easier, simpler and at the end beautiful. 🌾

Enjoy the journey, destination is fixed and I guess somewhat the same for all of us! 

For now getting back to binge watching, until next time.
