America Diary V

My stay in US has been extended by one more month and on last week I shifted from Riverside to San Bernardino, staying at Hilton Garden Inn hotel on Waterman avenue. Whether Riverside or San Bernardino, its the same wide roads, palm trees and the unbearable heat. During weekends it was impossible for me to sit in the hotel room and at the same time it was difficult to go out in the heat. But on last Sunday, finally I went out  to get rid of my loneliness in the temperature of 39 degree Celsius to only found that loneliness, my companion from past few days is following me. I found those huge wide roads nearly empty, occasionally, I got to see few cars going with a speed of not less than 80 kilometers per hour and then silence till next bunch of cars come in the picture. This was something I had never expected to experience, how the roads, bus stops and pedestrian paths can be empty, almost for all the times? First time in my life I was searching for people on the roads and I could not find them. Then I took the snaps of the empty roads, empty bus stops, the palm trees, the shops, the sunset, the surrounding mountains, the cars but not the people....

   Sometimes few silent moments comes in your life and suddenly it starts recalling your nostalgia. The moments which are stored  safely in the corner of your memory, starts coming out. You don't have to be a great or famous to recall or to write your memories. Everybody has something from his past, few magical moments that counts, his own audience to listen. I am also not exception to that, there are some moments which makes me sad, pride and smile.      It is said that when you start recalling the events from the past too often, it  indicates that mentally you are getting old. But who cares?? I love to wander in the past, to enjoy the magic moments again and to forget the present for  some time. Most of the times we remain busy in our daily routine, we think less and behave like machines, we keep working all the day, then we go back to our home, we spend some time with our family members, then we end our day by going to bed and start a new...

My days in Japan : I

   Sometime your silent, straightforward life takes sudden turn, it changes drastically, you don't get time to prepare yourself  to face the new era of your life. In a same way, my life took a sharp turn in 2006, I was switching my job to company having customers in Japan. I joined the company office based in Pune. The induction and other formalities took place and my life in the new company started. I was happy and first few days passed in that happiness. But you quickly get bored at new place if you are not assigned any interesting work and same thing was happening to me.

I was not doing any interesting or so called challenging work for almost next two months and finally on one fine morning I decided to ask my management about this and if they don't respond positively I was thinking to quit this job and find the new one. I talked to my manager and conveyed h...

Exploring Pondicherry-III

We were sitting on the beautiful beach of Pondicherry at night, I was thinking about my future and it was difficult for me to even think that I will have to choose something other than my dream of flying high for my bread and butter. I had come to Pondicherry in search of solution and what I came to know was my problem doesn’t have any solution. I did not talk to Rushikesh for a long time. Then finally he got up and went to Cyber café. I was alone in my thoughts and suddenly somebody patted on my shoulder, I looked back, it was Rajashree standing with one other lady. “So you are still lost in the sadness, we were going for a dinner and I saw you from the street”, Said Rajashree. She introduced other lady with me. Her name was Aruna, of medium height, fair and smart. “So do you like Pondicherry?”  asked Aruna. “Yes, off course and today we have hired bicycles to see the Pondicherry and nearby places.” I answered. “Good so where are you going tomorrow?” Aruna asked me with curiosity,...
