Aur main...sirf main

Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama,
neeli neeli si khamoshiyan,
na kahin hai zameen na kahin aasmaan,
sarsaraati hui tehniyaan pattiyaan,
keh raheen hai bas ek tum ho yahan,
bas main hoon,
meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein,
aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan,
aur main… sirf main.
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya.

This shayari comes after the trio’s deep-sea dive in Zindagi na Milegi Dobara. The environment around gets better of them and they spend some moments where everyone is quiet and in a deep thought.

These kinds of moments happen when you are at a beautiful place, secluded from the fast, crazy noisy world. I remember it happening when I did a moonlight trek to Skandgiri from Bangalore in 2009. I was freezing sitting there at around 4 am but still the moment got better of me and had an amazing time with myself thinking about life even though there were around 30-40 more people at the top. I felt peaceful.

One thing that is good about Chennai that we Delhites miss in North is the Beaches. There are beaches in the city, though very crowded most of the times. However, if you drive 50 kms out of the city, you will get to see beautiful beaches, clear water, and not much crowd, in short very peaceful.

And believe me if someone like me whose mind is not able to concentrate on one thing for long can find peace sitting at these beaches , then am sure you all will enjoy these kind of places to max.

P.S. I had an amazing birthday in Kolkata with school friends. Thanks a lot for the birthday wishes. Feels blessed to have you all in my life.
