I Believe ... :)

I owe this encounter to twitter. Working on my research also gives me chances to take breaks and that is when i browse through twitter to look into the current happenings around the world. Luckily i came across one of MTV'S tweets on a rock concert happening the very next day. It was Parikrama and KK. Though i am not a rock music lover but a keen on getting any expressions from anywhere that connect with God, i ended up at the concert and music is defiantly one of the surest mediums of connecting with God.

It was a treat to the beats of my heart. Though i couldn't catch each line of the songs sung by Parikrama but my heart beats danced hard to the every chord and every beat that they played. The surprise package was Agnee and Shilpa Rao and the song, "I Believe" that they sung with Parikrama. My pictures will be incomplete without this song :-

I Believe 

I believe in the sun
Even though it slowly rises
I believe in you
Even without realizing

Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan
Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan

I believe in the sun, even though it slowly rises
I believe in you, even without realizing
I believe in the rain, though i see no cloud in the sky
I believe in truth, even though everybody lie

I believe in Love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe in the power to forgive
I believe in Love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe in the power to forgive

Hum bhi toh hain iss jahaan mein
Pal bhar sahi tere dastaan mein
Kyun ha abhi faaslaa...
Hai pyaar mein jo hausla
Hum bhi toh hain iss jahaan mein
Pal bhar sahi tere dastaan mein
Kyun ha abhi faaslaa...
Hai pyaar mein jo hausla

Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan
Ho pyaar mein jo hausla
Kadmo pe tere ho jahaan

I believe in Love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe in the power to forgive
I believe in Love (I believe in love)
Even though people live hatred
I believe in the power to forgive

I believe in peace even though the world is violent...

I believe in God even though he is silent ... :)

After this treat it was KK and he defiantly brought back the magic of golden days with, "Hum rahe ya na rahe kal " and "yaaron jee bhar ke jee le pal" . I screamed by lungs out while i sang both these songs with the crowds, maybe this was my way of dedicating these two songs to my friends.

I dedicate the whole experience to all those who will come across this post as they will be enriching my experience with their time.

When i met and hugged nature ...

Never knew staying in Mumbai could get me so close to nature with just a mini trek. "Matheran" a hill station cum jungle gave me this treat. Matheran  literally means jungle on top, is located about 100km from mumbai at a height of about 2625ft above sea level.

We took a rickshaw from panvel station to nerul village. It took as around one hour to reach nerul and on reaching we were treated with a nice cup of local black tea. It is from here that our trek started. Trust me, all i could feel was me, the jungle and the rains. It was complete solitude in bliss. I kept on talking with the varied kinds of flora around me while figuring our various unique ways to climb the stony path that came my way, which looked like natures most beautiful graffiti on it's green carpet that kept me guiding to my destination.

Once we reached the hill top, which took as around four hours, we walked through the narrow lanes to reach our cottage, which was right in middle of the this jungle. It was so beautiful.

I was far away from every negative and artificial bit that surrounded my daily life. I often say these words but this is were my very inner being felt and lived with them, they are natures most beautiful creations,"Peace, harmony  happiness, calmness, silence, the essence of purity and love, stillness redefined".

My soul was refreshed.

Way to go Nature... You Always Rule !!
