The VOYAGE

                                                “Travel becomes an art when nature is the artist”. NorthEast India is beautifully canvassed by the mother nature with its crystalline rivers, pristine landscape, the benign silence of the forests, precarious rapids and warm people.

                                          In the turbulence of technological revolution, we are in a rat race. We seldom have time to hear our inner selves as we are chasing the so-called success - defined by others. The focus is to earn more and be on the top of fame, but in that rush & hush we miss to really live the life and imbibe its meaning. I had a life with more have-nots than haves. Success was underrated as an accomplishment of mere physical possessions in life and measured it on others yardstick for a long time.

In the crossroads of our life there are two choices for us that decides our path – Love or Fear . I chose Love, that made a great difference. But greatness is not when you are in love but when you are loved by someone whom you passionately love… Love can transform our lives phenomenally... Truly Inspired by the dreams that I have seen when I cuddled under a blanket during the heavy rains, when I drove through the barren lands under the hot sun and even while walking through the busy streets with a sweaty palm. The dream that turned my days the best, that never let me sleep sometimes – the dream of falling in love. March 13, 2016  1. Ship without rudder                                             Restlessness mixed with boredom in its right proportion, a pinch of heat in a jar of anxiety , this potion was making me feel annoyed throughout the day.
