A relation THAT never got a wing to FLY

Maybe we were just not meant to be.

I hoped we would stay together. With the word forever along. But it just faded away. Faded like the rainbow, with the clouds hiding away the sunshine reaching the rain drops. Forever was not for us. Forever would never be us. Maybe we were just not meant to be.

I realized that no matter how much we try, no matter how much we want it, some stories just don’t have a happy ending. And that’s our story. No happy ending. Kind of unexpected, wasn’t it? It was for me. But it hurts that you knew it all this while but never gave me a clue. Maybe we were just not meant to be.

I wish my eyes could meet yours every morning. Look into them with the deepest love. Look into them like they belonged to mine. I fancied all that. Fancies that always bring a smile on my face. 

I know it’s not going to happen, but deep in, I wish it would. I wish you would love me, like you did. All this while. But no. Maybe we were just not meant to be.

I loved you, truly. And I still do. But no mutual feelings. I know it was long ago for you. I know I’m just a name in your contact list. But I wish I could be more. I just wish you’d give me that place in your heart I always long for. I’ll always look forward for that day when you’ll come back to me. Say that you missed me. But no.

Maybe we were just not meant to be.

By Someone I know very closely!

My new few liners

Khud ke aks ko jo na samajh paya, wo kya khak dusro ko samjh payega. Kehne ko to dil hote hain shaitano me bhi, lekin dil jeet le jaate insaan hi hain!

Todte bhi wohi hain, khelte bhi wo hi hain. Jo samajh is khel ko wo bhagwan kehlaya, aur usine khud ke aks ko pehchana! 

So ye baat to sahi hai, Khud ke aks ko jo na samajh paya, wo kya khak dusro ko samjh payega.

Mahatma Gandhi - Nelson Mandela Series

Indian Cricket Team​ has been announced for 3 T20s & first 3 ODIs:

ODI squad:

MS Dhoni (captain), R Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Axar Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Gurkeerat Mann, Amit Mishra

As speculations, MS Dhoni​ will lead Team India for the entire series. However the notable name that is missing from the announced squad is Jaddu ​. He needs to work on his game harder. However 2 new faces have been included into the T20s & ODIs. S Arvind in T20 & Gurkeerat Singh Mann ​in ODIs. However the inclusion of Gurkeerat singh Mann is thoroughly as his recent all-round ability & performance against Aus A & Bangladesh A. However, he has started his career as Wicket keeper batsman for Team Punjab in Ranji Trophy. Who can play briskly specially in shorter format of this game. S Arvind was in the corridor for past few years. However, he wasn’t fit for last few years.

Team South Africa is coming to India for 3 T20s, 5 ODIs & 4 Test matches. This will be a great series for sure!

We can hope for the best as the ranji trophy is going to begin soon in India. We can find few more talent such as Sanju Samson, Rishi Dhawan, Kuldeep Yaadav, Sarfaraz Khan etc... Lets begin the cricket once again!

A place, which is a pefect destination of tourism, specially for newly married couple. However, the way touring is increasing int he valley, it’s tough to imagine the situation of “Heaven on Earth”. Though, if you want to visit the place, which is gaining popularity like anything. Visit Gulamarg soon. There are few reasons for popularity of tourism in Gulamrg. One of them  is peaceful valley as well few super hit movies which had been shot in Gulmarg. The few names are as:

 Anyway Jammu and Kashmir  is a dream place for Bollywood. Hundreds of movies have been shot in this region in past 6 decades. However, the terrorism, increasing in commercialisaton & other related activities are one the few obstraction towards the serenity of Gulamrg.

Nevertheless, the tourism has been blossom to the so called “Heaven on Earth” due to Bollywood’s exposure of untouched & virgin Gulamrg. Now, Gulmarg is a well known name in the world. Due to  the increase in tourism, the concern hospitality industry is roaring & the number of  hotel in Gulmarg has boomed too. That improved the all over condition of the valley.

Let’s go through the history of Gulmarg for our info. So that we can relate ourselves more with the city of heaven.

The Gulamarg was named as Gaurimarg, which is in honour of Hindu goddess Parvati. Who is wife of Lord Shiva &  mother of Lord Ganesh & Karthik. In 16^th century, the name had been changed to Gulamarg by Sultan Yusuf Shah in 16^th century. Even in 20^th century. The British govt servants used to visit this place to escape the summer from North India. Even they created the 3 golf courses includung one specifically for women as they love to play golf. One of the three gof course that had been established by brithish servants still survives & popular as its world’s highest golf course at 8690 ft high from sea level. Also, the British rulers established a ski club too. However post British rule, the valley had seen blood bath due to terrorism & related stuff.

Let’s have some info about present scenario of Gulmarg. As per census 2011, there were total 77 households consists the population of 1965 individuals. The worse part of the census is only 8 females & o children aged 0-8 were the part of 1965. However, the positive & the best part was their literacy that is 99.64% in 2011 census. This is super as against of 66.67% of state literacy ratio with 100% female literacy. Though, the number of females was not the huge as mentioned only 8.

Out of all the situation this place is an awesome destination for such persons who are looking for serenity & the local govt is working towards inspire the local authorities to encourage the tourism.  

Gulmarg : A place to redefine LIFE

When I am talking about redefine LIFE. It means the stress free life. What could be better to battle with your stress at 8830 ft from the sea level. Where you can find the avg weather is max 11.6 degrees & a 2.1 degree minimum (The average has taken for an year). What else & where you want to release your uncontrolled stress. Just imagine, a pollution free climate & blessed with snow fall. I am sure the half of the stress could have been gone by reading this line.

Gulmarg is a small town, which is situated in “Jammu-Kashmir”.  The population of the city is only 1900+. You can imagine, how peaceful this place will be. I am sure you were thinking about your stay, don’t worry at all. There are many luxurious suite available for stay. Even you can find so many Hotel in gulmarg to spend a night or two. So you must not think about stay issue, moreover, can think about the heaven on earth.

Stress kills people psychologically. Which proved more dangerous than even EBOLA. Even doctor says or advised to visit hill stations once in a year, so that one can reinvent himself. Also, it’s always said that better to spend money to travel to such places which will keep one’s distance from the doctor. What else one can wish. No doctor expenses due to stress.

Especially nowadays, it’s easy to get  Luxurious suite, or hotel in gulmarg. Thanks to Google as well other channel partners of google as well e-commerce websites, who acts as a booking agent. Will give you a 360 degree view of the suite/hotel to ensure that you are not being cheated. What else a person can need, when he is running from stress. Book a hotel online & visit the city of gulmarg. It was not so easy ever  than today.

Gulmarg is a cup shaped valley that is 56 kilometers from the state capital Srinagar. During winters entire valley covered with snow, which actually helps to grow the kind of wild flowers such as daisies, forget-me-nots and butter-cups. These flowers are not only grown in winter also in summer. These flowers are the center of attraction for local visitors.

There are several reasons why people visit gulmarg. Of course, reinvent the taste of life. Apart from this,

·         Gulmarg has been rated by CNN international as Asia’s 7^th best ski destination.

·         Gulmarg Gandola, is the one of the highest cable cars in the world.

·         Gulmarg was being mooted for 2010 winter commonwealth games

·         The world famous Maharin temple of Gulmarg

There is another reason, why people can get their life back. Simple, we all love Bollywood cinemas & “n” number of movies have been shot in Gulmarg. The movies like, Bobby, Yeh Jawani hai Deewani, Highway, Haider, Phantom etc movie's shooting have been done here. Also, there is a hut named as Bobby Hut & the reason will amaze you. In this hut, the shooting of a scene for the movie Bobby has been shot.

There is a very famous line for Kashmir, “Agar firdaus ba ruay zami ast, ami asto, ami asto, ami ast”. It means, if there is a heaven on earth, it’s here, it’s here. It’s here!
