Zubaan pe jaisey .. Ek Sawaal Aata Hai..
Jo Raah chuni thi humney.. Kis Waqt Manzil ko Payegi..
Chalta reh, Aye Musaafir..Khuda se Jawaab ye Filhaal Aata Hai..
Urge to rite snippets, that help me re-live and glorify some
events from the past, has more than a couple of times brought
me to the brink of seriously considering writing as an alternate
career... But Alas, a characteristic Gemini is me.. just letting
go the thought with the same panache as had nurtured it in the
very first place...
But yes, time and again, more or less like some periodic climatic
cycle, my grey cells have been successful in interlacing a rather
Almanac sort of chronology of my life's events with a quite
Tongue-in-Cheek style of story telling.. giving birth to these
lines ...
~~~"Once upon a Time in Sikkim "~~~~
.....................................................................................................
Knights in Shinning Armour, we were All the Kings Men
Roaring like Lions, we were two less than Ten
With dreams soaring high, the Guyz from the Next Gen
And all set and Done, we Stepped into the Heaven's Den
For seven days in row, we stretched our Lives to Extreme
Dreams became reality .. and Reality changed to Dream
Joy rides up the mountains, Thrill bursting at its Seam
Snow 'n Raft 'n Momos 'n Chinkis.. The timing was Supreme
We drank like Kings... Vodka and Rum and Scotch..
We lived in Palaces.. the Royalty was Top Notch..
The Angels served us Mana, The Devils served us Flame..
Two states burst in exhuberance, Us Eight held the Blame..
The Sleepy hollows of Mirik, the Satanic calm of its Lake..
The Snacks of the roadside, our appetites were at Stake..
The Monastry up the Hill, roads winding like a Snake..
The Magics of Serenity , like the tricks of ManDrake..
Darjeeling - Queen of Hills , Hailstorm greeted us Well..
Tea Gardens all around, From Heavens Hails just Fell...
When destination we finally reached, the Valley spread its Charm..
Clouds 'n Rains drenched our Souls, Tea 'n Ciggi kept us Warm..
Daylight showered the Hilltops, Snow glistened in the Sun..
Kanchenjunga towered them all, The Creation of The One..
We basked in Thy Glory.. Thy Glory we just coudln't Shun..
The jwellery was 24 Carat, the Jewels of Hardcore Fun..
Along came the Capital, and Gangtok was all Game..
"A large Rock"-is what it means, it lived up to its Name..
The rising hills, the smoking chills, all put in a single Frame..
The voting out, Roadies 8.0 , us Beasts had found our Fame..
The trip towards Nathu-La, and we were totally Spellbound..
The Snow mountains, the Frozen Lake, the Rarities hardly Found..
The Silence of Yaks, the falling rocks, the Echoes of the Sound..
And Tsomgo lake became Royal Court, when us Kings were finally Crowned..
And from Heavens we Fell.. But found Utopia and Not Hell...
One Raft with Ten people ...Dragon flies flew out of the Shell..
The Gurgling waters of river Teesta...sounding same as a Death Knell..
The Rapids Devoured us all.. But we lived with a Story to tell...
When 30 kms were done.. we rested on the banks in the Wild..
The breeze was so chilling, but the bonfire made it just Mild..
We scanned the area for 'Spirits', and in an hour many liquors we had Piled..
The Beach football, the late night booze, We felt like Destiny's Own Child..
Next 20 kms we started, and the first Rapid shook our Souls..
In seconds I was drown in water, my friends had achieved their Goals..
"Forward / Back / LEAN.." shouted the guide..We all stuck to our Roles..
The Sparkling Waters..The Blazzing Sun..And Diamonds came out of Coals..
The Final Day, was quite different, as we got holed in Siliguri..
The Thumping DJ , the Bootylicious Babes , the Night came on with full Fury..
"I didn't do a thing.. I am still a 'V'.. is just another case of Perjury..
Memories of Days, 7 days in Heaven, is what that comprised this Potpourri..
