Light and Dark

One of my favorite poems that I have written. I think this one deserves a place on this blog. It would be overtly philosophical but sometimes the mind just cannot think on the first base :)
Light and Dark

Amidst the darkness of the bright night,
I stood still with my thought and might,
There was an inner will which emitted the glow,
It wasn't the night where the inner strength would blow,
The stars hinted towards how far the dreams were,
The clouds pointed that they would never again be blur,
Eyes twinkled to emit the ray of start,
Mind warned it to be the beginning of the wrath,
Hands lay folded waiting for the next journey to ensue,
Legs grumbled being cynical enough to pursue,
With the glitter in the soul I started the march,
Heart rumbled with joy within the inner arch,
It was time to see that silhouette of light in the dark,
And was the time to coronate the spark.

Gleeful Goshaini !

Blissful Boulevard The day had begun to end with darkness all around the room. By now we knew that this night we would have no ray of electricity to help us light our rooms. Although this place had already lightened our deepest inner senses. This time the darkness brought an emphatic glow of bewilderment. The merriment in that wooden cottage was one that we would remember forever. We had to wake up early morning around 4 am to depart for Chandigarh to catch an evening flight for Mumbai, but the mind was startled at the idea of moving away from this gleeful utopia and moving on to the insipid dystopia of a metro.  As I was stashing up all my belongings into my bag, the last two days flashed coherently before my eyes. Maybe something tried to stop me from leaving but as always, the sudden drift to a reality of dire straits is what happens to us. Raju's Cottage was not just mirthful or limpid, it was a joyous transcendence to the real world where we belong. It was a wond

The Punk in the Paneeeer

Paneeeer.. Chandan said the Paneer was stir fried a bit before it was mixed with veggies and flavors, and it was the reason why the Paneer wasnt soft to chew. Well he did have a point that Pan Asian cooking doesn't have a softer Paneer to it always, but sitting there I did not wish to be the over critical food connoisseur. Sitting at that beautiful restaurant named Sky Lounge in Bangalore what I knew was that my next task as a food lover was to explore the greatest of Paneers in Mumbai. So, with all my tummy might I have been sniffing around Paneers to find those handful of gourmand dishes.  Although, I am still not done with finding more Paneer dishes, here are some of the ones which I liked- Paneer Lifafa, The Ziya - The service and presentation at this place is undoubtedly top notch, but the paneer lifafa is filled with immense Paneer love. Served with rice and Dal Makhani, it does give you a resounding vegetarian fill up! I would want to eat this up more often!

Remembering Lofoten

Remembering Lofoten It has indeed been a long and extended break from writing. I have been thinking for some time to get back to writing and pushed by my wife and dear friends too repeatedly. So finally after a strong enough hibernation I decided to write about Lofoten. Once a place I could only dream of, to actually visiting it last year. I also took a lot of feedback from folks to simplify my writing as I often got entangled in a web of poetic prose. Also took some cues from my friend Sai who always has his sleeves up when it comes to reading and also writing a blog with no purpose. Scandinavia/Nordic (Finland, Iceland, Faroes are Nordic but not Scandinavian phew) are dream destinations for most travel enthusiasts. Though nowadays everyone is a travel aficionado and so am I but it is more of an asset allocation (Sorry for being a finance geek ☹ ) decision for me rather than thinking of an annual budget. There is no wanderlust flowing down my veins, it's just cu
