Heaven on the earth

     Next day morning 6.15am we reached Mahadwar. The Land of Gods, Devabhumi. This Mahadwar is also known as the Great Door to Land of Hills. It was raining heavy that morning. As we landaed in the Mahadwar, we freshened up ourselves and started to heading towards the our destination called Mahinda. We hired a cab which was a newspaper delivering cab our journey was started. In the beginning of our journey there was a landslide so our journey was delayed by two hours. In between that me and Vishu enjoyed the beautiful view of natural beauty of that place.

     'Dude, this is really heaven on the earth' I said.

    'See the height of those mountain peaks. These mountains are hundred times larger than our native' said vishu.

     'Buddy, this is just beginning of our journey. There is more to come' I said.

     'Let us see dude' he said.

  After two and half hours of delay, the road was cleared and our journey to Mahinda resumed again.  As Steve Maraboli said, 'It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish,' I was thinking that what will be our destiny after two years may be? I got a new friend, moving to a new unknown place, entirely new kind of people, completely different type of culture and life style. In between these I was going to be a PAHADI for next two years.

       The journey was beautiful and breath taking. The complete journey was going through hilly area. One side of the road is deep valley and other side is the mountain peaks that seems to be kissing the sky. By observing this I lost in my deep thoughts. These two are the symbols of the two face of life. Life also have two faces in every situation. For  love there is anger; for destiny there is fear; for pain there is healing; for hurt there is forgiveness; for there is humility; for giving there is taking; for tears there is joy; for rejection there is acceptance; for judgment there is grace; for honor there is shame; for letting go there is keeping. 

      'Hey dreamer, where you lost? come to reality.' said vishu.

    'hhihi! Nothing buddy simply enjoing the view. What a beauty it is!' I said by looking through the window. 

      It was really mind blowing view to anybody who is a keenly worship the beauty of nature. We were travelling through and above the clouds. what a beauty. Nature is always mysterious. It always shows different faces of itself in every single region. I lost my self in that mystery and when our first half of our journey ended I was not realised.

      'Son get down here. We have to catch a different bus from here on-wards.' my father said. It is a place named Vihar which was nearly 20 km away from our final destination. In Vihar we completed our Lunch. Bus was arrived after half an our. The bus was overcrowded and very difficultly we both three got the seet.

      Our journey was again resumed. suddenly I heard a sweet female voice with much angryness arguing with her mother. 'Mumma! Why you kept my bag kept on the floor? Dekho ispe chewing gum Chipak gaya hai. I told you don't keep it on the bus floor. Why don't you here my words.'

     Me and Vishu exchanged look with each other and smiled silently and started to enjoy the view outside. After half an hour of journey we finally reached the Mahinda Horticulture Campus. We get down there and all of us entered the Campus with great aspiration of learning.

      That day we met first time an great inspiration of our life Arjun Sir. He only helped us to select our room and we met our another friend called Mahendra. That ended with small conversation and making the new friends in the Campus.

Friend - A brother from another Mother

      Friend is always known as brother from another mother. At the beginning of my journey I met him at Railway station. That day I felt that he is my brother from another mother. Until then we just know each other just by name. His name is Vishwas. As his name say, he is person who is really trust-able. He has a lanky body with short hairs, bright eyes with lots of hopes. Since its our second meeting we don't know about each other. That day I was with my father who is also coming with me to see the college environment where I was going to start my P. G. Studies. The journey was started at 3.00 pm afternoon.

     It was a long journey of two days and two nights to reach our first destination Nijamuddin station at Delhi. Since me and my father is in the second class AC and Vishwas is in the sleeper class there was no much conversation happend between me and Vishwas. After reaching Delhi we had to wait for twelve long hours to board our next train to Mahadwar which is located in Uttarakhand.

     After reaching Delhi, we took a cab to Sarai Rohilla train station, where our next train was scheduled at that day night. In the evening of the same day I was sitting on the bench out side the railway station and scrolling down the facebook post.

     'Hey Uday! what are you doing?' he came and asked me.

     'Nothing dude. I am just scrolling through my fb profile. what about you buddy?' I asked him.

    He said 'Nothing yaar. I was getting bored sitting lonely inside so came to talk to you. So where you completed your Under Graduation?'

     I said, 'I am from Siriyur campus, which is your campus?' 

     'Bahar campus.' he said

     'So in this way our long journey starts to a unknown place.' I said ' Let us see what is waiting for us there.'

     'Don,t worry buddy. Now onward I will give a VALIDITY of  TWO YEAR FRIENDSHIP TO YOU' he said. That day I didn't understand what does he meant but the meaning is going to reveal at the end of second year.

      ' Let us see dude.' I replied to him. After that we exchanged our idea about life. We discussed about our goals. We had or snacks at McDonalds near the station. Me, my father and him started our journey to Mahadwar that day night at 9.30pm.
