Yatra

Just came from Diwali vacation. One of my best trip to my home town Ahemdabad, all thanks to my friends Ajmal and Vipin who motivated and forced me explore my own town. They both were my honorary guest from Kerela, my classmates in MIT. I been to Kerela last year, they entertained and planned my trip really well. My first trip with friends, I always prefer to have an unplanned trips and no one known around me to have burden of liabilities. I just drop in where ever I wish to or dare to! Its good to make new friends, seeing new faces, sharing moments with someone whom you just met and then involving as we came there for them only, then parting off as we will meet again. It really feels great! I remember most of time rather all of the time my those special friends were of my father's age and surprisingly they shared such talks which were generally not shared with a youth, and that also me! They have talked about family, children, marriages (lessons to remember) , societies, beliefs, cultures, sins, regrets, happiness, wish lists, wives (interesting ones) and many such personal things which no one would share with a stranger, especially if he is too young and have creative assets like me.

Last time it was a cop in civil dress from Thane, native place Satara, my ex room mate's home town too! And that's how friendship started. The cop has very simple, soft and disciplined look (very rare to be witnessed), he just got a holiday after over a month because of election and now already had the orders for the upcoming festivals' security arrangements. He shared his complains, kids, village, city, system and then line of fate. A very soft spoken person with roughest hand. One of those special friends!

Cheers n happy diwali!
