India's Interantional Face'10

A beautiful dream, dreamt by some one, some one really passionate about his work and who always loved chasing dreams. Weaving the same dream into reality for every one to see it and believe in it was a task. but not for the one who made it happen. Days and days of planning and hard work, countless sleepless nights with the coffee mugs and the board rooms and countless fights and arguments... Without a sigh, we kept working towards his dream... with the whole team working days and nights. we made it happen.. we saw it happen... the dream turning into reality... Bit by bit, piece by piece everything started to fall in place slowly and steadily....

The day was coming near and we could feel the anxiety and the blood gushing through our veins. The day arrived, the day for which everyone had worked more than they could actually... Nervous and trembling before it all started, and it did send a shiver down every one's spine. but the applaud and the praises took away all the tiredness, the stress and the pain..... As it is said all's well that end's well.... so i would say it is true.... it was all worth the effort and the pain that every one went through.... be it the team, the producers, the contestants, the jury, the production people and of course the hotel guys... Two months of complete madness finally ended with applause, laughter and smiles leaving behind with us the sweet memories of the times. the times that we all spent together... The beautiful memories that make us smile every now and then when we think about it.

Another beatiful journey ended with wine, dine and a sweet good bye.

We reminisce and cherish the new friends and the new relations, and start a new beginning.... and seeking a new dream and a new challenge every day,.....

The Dream

The dream wakes me up

Trembling and shivering

Crying and choking....

With eyes closed n visions flashing

Holding your hand

In a beautiful dream land.....

Away from all the pain and suffering

Where life was no roller coaster ride

But a joy ride...

You kiss my forehead

And start walking away....

Though i want u to stay...

But ur hands are slipping.

Loosing the grip

Tears rolling down my cheeks

N the faint smile on ur lips

Disappearing into thin cloud....

Leaving me crying out loud

Why did you have to leave

Leave me alone in this world...

Where every one is so cold

N no hand to hold....

Im tired dad...

Tired of being some one else im not

Smiling when im sad...

Hiding the pain

Swallowing my tears in the rain...

Need that magic to turn the dream into reality.

Take me out of this cruelty.

Come back and make this life a joy ride again...

Without any pain....

The Crazy Road trip

Started out wid a random plan of going to Goa.... shel, sady n srish.. three useless buggers..

sittin at candies srish n shel planned.. n called up sady..who ws ever ready...to hit the road with us,...

In his cherry( his car).. all 3 of us hopped in n d journey to a mindblowin destination Goa... began....

we dint kno the route, had no maps, there were no signs, just one laptopn with google maps...that too konked off...

N so the journey began..with music blaring in d car.. wind blowin...three young souls just off... dint have a clue whether they were goin in the rite direction or not.. just followed their intuition...

In few hours of roamin inside mumbai hopelessly...we hit the highway with a signboard readin GOA....

our happiness knew no limits..

we screamed with joy...

few hours of driving they got caught in a bad bad traffic... in some village for like an hour an a half...

Shel n sady had smokes to pass their time.. n srish had them(shel n sady)...

Hours n hours of long n continuous drivin ws makin sady sleepy now....

shel ws wide awake with him... helpin him with the routes n pushin him...

srish ws sleepin like a log in the back seat...

the sun ws up... we reached ratnagiri n halted for sum food...

thats wen she switched places wid shel n ws ready to hit the road again...

in between srish dint realize that she ws takin a nap n so ws sady.. the difefrence ws that srish wsnt drivin but sady was,....

shel ws asleep but stil wide awake...

had to buy redbulls on d way... for poor ol sady...

finally we did hit GOA...the paradise...

the joy ws overwhelming....

two days of absolute gala...

beer and pork and sea food... was all they knew...

cut off from the crazy wacked out world,

they were loving just being there with the people they cared bout...

shel's grandmom greeted them with a loving smile n a warm hug..

they partied n partied... til we dropped dead..

ended up sleeping in the car( coz dint wanna wake up Nana..)

was woken up with a scolding from her... n were told to sleep inside...

it ws too hot to step out in the sun... but they had to hit the road as they had to get back...

it was certainly refreshing to get sleep after that wild day...

one more mug of beer at Brittos n sum pork sausages ... n they were ready to roll again...

some sight seeing was neccessary... so after doing that...

with the blaring music n the spirit... they were back on the road...

It doesnt end here... theres more to it...

Times

I remember the times

we sang and danced...

we drank and laughed....

It was not the wine

that got us high

it was the feeling

that made us sigh....

Now that i look back

at the times spent

i regret taht it just went...

without a word

it was disappeared....

u semed to be sent by angels

but to me you were my angel......
