Musafir Hoon Yaroon

Travelling all alone is now become a part of my life. Initially it sounded and felt a bit weird, but now it no longer matters, rather I Njoi it. From the past 8 yrs that i have been travelling, occasionally along with friends and rest all alone.

Every time i travel alone, i someone imagine Young Jeetendra (ME) in Parichay humming....
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai Bas Chalte Jaana
Ek Raah Rukh Gayi Tho Aur Judh Gayi
Main Mura Tho Saath Saath Raha Murgayi
Hawaon Ke Paron Par Mera Ashiana
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai Bas Chalte Jaana.....


Someone great once said "Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone" .

Pune Meri Jaan



Pune is the city where i spend the best 3 years of my life. The city is abuzz with eduacational institutes and is one of the fastest developing city in Asia (Courtesy rediff). Pune, also known as Oxford of the East has developed over the years from a serene and Intellectual city to a Hap and rockinz one. The reason being the large influx of students form all over the country. Higher eduacation brought me to this city and inturn gave me much more.

I miss Pune for ample reasons and many of you will do the same, once you Bid adieu to this wonderful place.

  • I miss FC road and the pain and the strain induced in my neck/eyes due to beautiful babes walking past
  • Miss the Tapri's where you get excellent Chai, coffee, Cigs
  • I miss Joshi's Vadabhav , Jogeshwari's Misal Pav, Chitre Bandu's Bhakarvaddi and Goodlucks Maska Pav and Omlette
  • Miss the NDA road where you can njoi peace and also do many naughty things
  • I miss the German bakery and its Coffee @ Koregaon Park
  • Miss the crowded lanes of Laxmi Peth especially during Ganapti Visarjan
  • I miss my alma Maters, the people and the aboslute fantastic weather

You may leave Pune, but some part of You will alwyz be out there..........

Lonesome Soul


Your life is complete with people
who care, treasure and love you
But
still somehow at the end of the day
you find yourself all alone
and
Incomplete

Its Time to Disco


Pub and Disq culture is so much in, that your considered a complete 'No' if your not a part of it. Pune is one place that provides ample opportunities to be 'IN' , in this regard.


Pune, is one of the hottest places where youth from all over the country not only come for eduacation but let their hairs down and party on weekends. This picture was clicked at "Souls- ABC farms", for our pre-convo party where all of us got Sloshed, danced and partied hard.


The pic clearly depicts the funda of restricting the use of the flash light to a minimum and only using it where/when no other means exist. To me, the beauty of the Picture is best observed in the natural light.

Poised...


Clicked this foto on my Convocation when our model, Mr Adil Hussein Ali had just arrived from Amristar. Since then have been completely in love with this picture.

Adil had just arrived and was about 15 meters away among the crowd, when the lens zoomed in and the shutter clicked.

To me this picture depicts Innocence, Boyishness and Gracefulness.
P.S: The model actually appears much more Handsome than he is.
