HITCHHIKING

A PRACTICE normally which one would not find in India, but if we talk of our western counterpart, there this is practiced quite on a regular basis. Folks as they say is a very warm gesture to turn the wheels off and landing up in an exciting trip, where every inch of journey is exciting and at same time intimidating. that kind of thrill and adrenaline fun is what we Indians are devoid off these days. much of the blame can be attributed to the environment we live in, our social and cultural advancement where everyone is living in grip of some or the other fears. money is good but it brings insecurity( hope u understand what i am trying to say), colloquially if we talk, money enhances our fears, fear of loosing it, fear regarding showing it, fear regarding earning it, everyway it is fear what makes it so important and dark. lets grin and bear it, since this is something which is not going to change at least not in this life. the point which i am trying to make is very simple and not twisted as it sounds, provide conducive environment for such offbeat activities like hitch hiking.

hitch hiking is a fancy word which often tickles the fancy of many youngsters. there’s another wave, a lot like google wave wherein ideas flow through the waves and when that wave actually makes a break through in real life, its called a trend. so lot of young bodies are dazzled by the very idea of so called fancy word “hitch hiking”. this trend and latest fashion has not only influenced the young adventurous bodies but even Hollywood. movies and popular block busters not only in the past but in today’s world have made an immense impact on the young generation and this is very much true when it is other way round as well. it means young generations do influence some of the good blockbusters which have been reported in past. highly philosophical yet at budding stage, the theme portrayed in flicks like “into the wild” are highly motivating and bring us to an inner peace. the movie is based on bestselling non-fiction book about the adventures of Christopher McCandless. It is an expansion of Krakauer's 9,000-word article, "Death of an Innocent", which appeared in the January 1993 issue of Outside. The book was adapted into a 2007movie of the same name directed by Sean Penn with Emile Hirsch starring as McCandless.

it is about an graduate “chris McCandless”, who is bright as sunshine, had a bright career but troubled by his parents divorce. lust and greed for money didn’t make any sense to him, and all that made sense to him was mankind. to prove his point he went out in the raw world on a road trip with a pair of converse, few clothes and little cash. he was stranded once his car broke in the middle of desert. instead of getting his car repaired he abandoned it, and burned all his money. this was the point where he started hitchhiking. the whole idea was adventurous at first but for the hardship he had to go through all his journey would surely break away any normal human. he met different people which he might have only heard from his folks. in true manner a life beyond every misery and happiness was deeply observed by him. he saw how people get attached and how difficult is for them to wish goodbye to a person who was a stranger to them once. every little detail he absorbed and developed his own theories and ideas. he realized the whole concept of nothingness, which other wise is just a word with a tricky meaning.

silence is the best way to communicate, and to this this Christopher McCandless strayed his path to Alaska, where he spent some of his best moments. In April 1992, Jim Gallien gave McCandless a ride to the Stampede Trail in Alaska. There, McCandless headed down the snow-covered stampede trail to begin an odyssey with only 10 pounds of rice, a .22 calibre rifle, a camera, several boxes of rifle rounds, and a small selection of reading material — including a field guide to the region's edible plants, Tana'ina Plantlore. After surviving more than 100 days, he died sometime in August and his body was found, in early September, by a couple and a group of moose hunters.

sounds sad, but this surely was not a waste of time, since he taught us very important aspect of life, and that is SATISFACTION. this is one word, which takes decades to actually inculcate what it carries.

we can only hope, that people will change their attitude towards their children’s education and instead of training them to go for a rat race, would actually focus on teaching them how to stay happy. this was the mistake they have not improved upon, to whatever the circumstances that prevailed in their time, but now is time to make things right and giving a society a total new dimension.

paper love

from the time immemorial i have been into the habit of reading newspapers. and with the growing age my paper-reading  is quite evolving in itself. wen i was a kid i wasn’t fascinated by business column or editorial section and upon insistence of ma elderly when ever i tried to read any of the above sections, it felt like clock had stopped ticking and i imagined myself into some sort time trap which was boring and at the same time not yielding. the whole idea of getting me into this kind of serious reading was some kind of sabotage act on my childhood, but yet i was able to catch the essence, which was later on realized and undoubtedly appreciated. so as a kid i hated paper, much could be the reason of compulsion from ma elderly. its not that i was rebellious, its just that often without a reason i fail to do what others are making me intend to achieve. or just say until every move is clear to me i cannot put them into action. then few years passed and my psyche evolved into a brain of a teen. starting years were wonderful since i felt like i am grown up but eventually everything started getting dark and darker and even darker! trust me its sweet sixteen for girl;s but as far as we guys are concerned those r the terrible years one could only wish not to come back which on the contrary gender part is totally a different story. so there was the time hormones been jumping inside me attaining a frivolous attitude every now and then. my sound box had completely distorted and only thing i liked then was to be away at sports or with some reading material, that was the time i had starting peeping into the twenty page newspaper, the tribune which if compared to today’s competitors is amazingly boring and the reason i used amazing was to show no disrespect to the retired grandfather age elderly men who happen who to consider themselves to be no less that clergymen. well at that time i started building the very foundation of my reading habit. then for a couple of years tribune rocked my world until the magnificent, adorable and ma all time favorite HT aka hindustan times came into ma world, its just revolutionized my life n filled it with vigor and excitement all together, i was now free from the clutches of the traumatic and lifeless displayer of only local events, the tribune, this was what i felt after when i was introduced to HT.

what works for me !!

this is the quest i been working ma arse of lately, n guess wat i found about myself. ever since i entered college i started thinking that everyday is going to be special and everyday something interesting will happen which will lead me one step forward to wat i have been aiming to achieve, but what an idiot i was, thinking me to be so eccentric; or exaggerating the very statement to the heights of being snobbish and considering myself to be center of universe. this surely didn’t to work out for me, as per my sign zodiac sign i m quite ambivert and occasionally shifting from being vibrant and radiant at one occasion to being totally artistic, self occupied trying to figure out most of the things n this sometimes goes to the extent of me doubting myself of being dyslexic, yes i know that sounds retarded. neways forget about being any centre or circle, lets talk about wat works for me. number one i m not multi tasking, and it takes a lot of effort from my side to pull two or more task simultaneously and effectively. i think quite a lot and speculation is my favorite hobby, i fear spelling and i hate texting, n this is one of the things i cant really stand out. above all i have passion for sports and any physical activity, i m tough physically and would always wants to stay as muscular and strong as i m these days(stop you narcissist !! ).let me frame a list of things which are partially wrong with me n mindlessly getting to know that hw i must improve those things:

1. bad handwriting- well regarding this issue i tried once wen i was in high school on compulsion from my class teacher when she refused to check my paper,n that was the time i made an effort genuinely n thankfully i was on a verge of writing close to wat we call a legible handwriting. i still ache for getting my hand-writing to-gather n produce something comprehensible since my maa always use to tell me stories starting with the tag line” once upon a time anonymous(that is me) has a beautiful handwriting”, n now to regain that lost honor i will try to discover the lost art in me by conquering and taming the graphein dragon.
