Offbeat Friendship!

-

Friendship..... A bond which is all about love, acceptance, selflessness. Its not just passing time and having fun; its more about standing by each other's side in every phase of life and being transparent on everything that you do and say!!


It is a beautiful bond which two people on this earth can share, or should I say not just between people but between a person and anything which he cannot live without?

Mumbaikars and Local trains  surely represent a great friendship which is since ages!! 

But what made me realise this amazing connection is my journey back home from office, when i saw a friendship band tied to the window of the train!!! At first, I found just one  and clicked a picture but den i realised there were 2 more on the same window!!

A band for years of bond!


Truly the importance of local trains in life of a Mumbaikar is unmatched......and surely on this friendship day we cannot forget this old friend of ours who has served our generations by helping us travel faster!!

Happy friendship day! :D

TRUST

“ Trust is like an eraser; it gets smaller and smaller with every mistake.” - Anon Well this quote surely defines trust completely. Have you ever wondered how we human beings have started doubting more and trusting less ? I came across this thought after I witnessed the following 2 incidents: Incident 1: Me and my family went for a drive to a small hill nearby. We were at the hilltop where there were very few people around.   While we were enjoying the small tunnel that passed through the hill and clicking some #nightlife pictures, we saw an old lady at a distance. Her presence was not much of a concern till the time she was away. The moment she started approaching us, a wave of panic crossed our minds. General human habits - when you see some stranger at night, you are prone to doubt their genuineness. She started speaking to us about something in a language quite alien to us! Because of her constant nagging and following us, we finally decided to leave

Lock down has literally shown us that “History repeats itself!” While we go back in time with Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shaktiman on TV and some good family time like we had in summer vacations, I thought why not go back in time and revise some mindful lessons learnt. In my article - A Step towards a Goal ( Click here ), I had mentioned about  Blue-Ribbon Movement  and its purpose.  Being a volunteer with them for two & a half year, I have surely met some great people, spoken about civic issues which every Mumbaikar faces everyday but refuses to acknowledge and learnt some valuable lessons which have helped me daily. With a beautiful format of activity-based learning , NSS – Community Connect Fellowship (CCF) involved us into the actual theme of connecting with and helping the community. Some activities involved learnings while doing our civic duties like below: 1. Finding civic problems and raising complaints to the BMC/NMMC/TMC/KDMC: This acti

College to Corporate

JOB – a really big achievement for an individual after their graduation. And the best way an Engineering grad can get his job is through the campus recruitment. Like many others, I too had a good fortune to get placed in an IT firm through my college campus recruitment and surely it was the best day ever.  Corporate life is what I was waiting for. The excitement to start a new phase as an IT professional was quite much more than one could expect. This new world stands in front of you, waiting to make you a part of it. The only things that you move along with are the values and principles your college has given you and the articles which inspire and educate you like “Do’s and Don’ts on first day of your job”. The college to corporate journey was thus to begin. My first day too was what I looked upon eagerly. How the culture would be? How much should I change to adapt to this professional life? etc. were the questions I was travelling with. And not much to my surprise I found an
