Santharo...

i just happened to meet a lady yesterday who has taken "Santharo".
yesterday was her 30th fast.Yes she has not eaten since the last 30 days.she drinks only water which has also stopped recently cause her throat aches while drinking these days. she will not eat till she leaves for heavenly abode.
i mean it is a brave decision to do that. but why give up on life? she did not look too old.
the decision was taken after she was diagnosed of some oral Tumour(cancer). She does not want to take any treatment and has accepted god's decision.Crazy, to my knowledge science, if not able to save you atleast has the ability to prolong your life.
She leaves behind a husband and a son who is not married yet. How are they going to lead their lives alone.
what happens to them after she goes.i just cant imagine them leading a normal life post this.
Personally, i just do not like the concept of "santharo".  you are here for a reason and you fight every single thing that comes your way. Santharo i feel is like suicide. ultimately you are killing yourself.
i do not know what jainism or the jain gurus have to say about santharo. whatever the explanation i would love to know it or have a conversation with them.would love to see what comes out of the conversation.
i think there have to be laws which either legalise or illegalise these customs.
however, hope this santharo thing never happens again.

P.S:-these are my opinions and in no way i want to hurt anybody s religious sentiments.

The Great Indian Wadala RTO...

it just a sucker...
i mean in which age is the RTO...
for a bloody learning 4 wheeler License it took me all of 3 hrs...
and it cost me 30 Rupees...
for a license worth 30 Rs they took my 3 hrs.
The place is in such a mess, first of all its difficult to find where to get the license from.
once you find it, itsthe 3rd floor, no lift & as soon as you reach there, there are a sea of people moving in all directions.
it took me so much time to figure out (atleast an hour) how to go about it thankfully my brother had filled and got the form for me or else another hr would hv gone by searchin where to get the form...
well now here s how you get the learning  license:-

1. get a form 
2. fill it, stick ur foto, get medical fitness, take a attested copy of passport, ration card, pan card wteva
3. register at the person in room no 15...the guy is difficult to find in a rush anyways he is there near the bench and he guides you how to get the license. i couldnt find him. hence took me too long
4. then comes the queue to get the officers signature. it went from the 3rd floor right to the 1st foor...yes believe it 1st floor & i thought days of standin in the queue were long gone...
5. however i dinr stand in the queue just managed to break in the queue...got the sign from saab(OFFICER)...can you believe an RTO officer wasting his time for stamping and signing learning license papers...
6. then pay money...al of Rs.24.60, but they will take 30 only...no ideas why... i ws too frustrated to ask...this task took me half an hour...they had a thappi of forms...finally money paid...got reciept...then he throws my form on the back table...where supposedly they do an entry... and guess what they had gone for lunch...WAH WAH....Grrrr.......
7. for entry hua.. fir mera form mujhe mila...
8. ab jaao foto nikaalo...and yes uske liye bhi line...waha fir mein beech mein ghus gaya...aur woh form usne rakh liya...
9. ab sabse irritatin cheez 30 rs ke learnin lene mujhe kal fir jaana padega...
10. JAI HO RTO ki
11. bharat govt r u listenin isko reform karo....kaise karenge paise jo khane hai...jai ho bharatmata ki...

had a late lunch at 4 real late...

26/11 vs 14th Nov

Gandhi (2nd Oct) & Chacha Nehru (14th Nov)

" 7/11"

hey guys jus a random thought........

         was jus thinking about 26/11 &  realised that there is a drastic difference in the dates that we used to remember earlier in our childhood & today.

          remember how we used to celebrate and remember 5th September Teacher s day & 2nd Oct Gandhi Bapu's bday & 14th NOvember Children s day.

         Teacher s day used to be full of enthusiasm, decorating our classroom and giving gifts to our teachers & having fun. Apart from all this we easily used to get a day off by treating the teaachers well. So no studies or beating for the day :P.

         So used to be the other days with Gandhi jayanti a holiday & so was Children s day.

       even when we grew up these days used to be special. giving a call to our teachers etc.of course the holidays were gone. but still even remembering the old days was special.

Bu these days all we remember and recollect is 26/11; 7/11; 9/11 ...

Hell whats wrong with us? 

remembering the martyrs is good.

 but there is a lot of hatred attached to it. 

All we think of is hating  KASAB and likes & why is he still alive. Pictures of those days with the trains in mumbai in pieces, people with broken limbs being carried  away, the Hotel TAJ burning & more. 

   well but the good part is all this hatred does unite us all.and we will have campaigns where people will come together and make the govt realise their uselessness & take action.

However though i would jus love to remember 5th September, 2nd October & more of 14th November more so...cause would love to be a child again...:)

Trek Mulund hills

Trek @ Mulund Hills:-

sounds weird.

trek dat too in mulund...

O dont be startled by it...

Its an Osome lil trek...

Breathtaking view from d top...

all d new skyrises in mulund + all the hills in the background with fog all over them.

it is a breathtaking view.

plus we found a local with us who went on n told us stories about leopard sitings and how a leopard had killed a sardar who was out on his daily routine walk.

talking about leopards does send a shrill through your spine and it is continuously in ur mind all through the trek. Thinking constantly that now probably he will pounce on us.

jyaada ho gaya na.Hmmm... par darr toh lagta hai na boss.

and then there is this 'BHOLE' group, Bhole depicting god Shankar aka Bholenath, who keep on shouting "Jai Bhole" probably to ensure that the route is correct or everyone s safe.

anyways d trek is really short. u reach d top in 45 mins to an hr. and then at the top you have a view of guess what...............its the TULSI lake. looks just too good. we were told by the local that if we trek further into the jungle we can probably see Tulsi lake, Vihar lake and 1 more lake(dont remember the name now).

then now after reaching the top and enjoying our view and the breeze , instead of coming back we went for bathing in a small waterfall nearby, about 15 mins trek into the jungle. Water's clean here and nice and cold.

There were very few people around there, but those thereafter reaching there just removed their shirts got some mud from nearby and just applied it all over their bodies for a nice "MUDBATH'....This is what i call a massage.

To hell with you , you modern spas...here i get a mudbath for free and also a workout. hahaha...

Not to mention the nice massage that you get because of the water falling on you from the waterfalls.

only sad part about this trek is or as is the case is with every place close to nature is it is dirty and some guys will throw plastic bags, booze bottles, etc... why do you all do this...why ruin a beautiful place...

and now the sad part begins, we have to trek down back to mulund for about 45 minutes. this part is always sad.

all and all had great time and was back home at 12 noon after leaving at like 7 in the morning. ample time to rest and blog now.

well with this i sign off for now.

will be back with more laters.

Tc have fun.

i just did.

;D
