Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama,
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyan,
Na kahin hai zameen, na kahin aasmaan,
Sarsaraati hui tehniyaan, pattiyaan,
Keh raheen hai ki bas ek tum ho yahan,
Sirf main hoon, meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein,
Aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan,
Aur main, sirf main.
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya...

I liked the poetry in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara since the first time I heard it. Most of the people did. Amazingly composed by the father and beautifully narrated by the son. Until now, I liked the one in the end the most - "Dilon mein tum apni betabian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum"..
But now, I realized... rather felt the true meaning of the one above. And this will now stay with me for all my life.
I went to Oslo for the Christmas weekend. The city was shut down and we had nothing to do. So decided that the next day, we will go across the country driving. This is the drive that we did:
The train route between Oslo and Bergen is known to be one of the most scenic train journeys. But we decided to take the road. I luv driving! And the road didn't disappoint yet again.
But little did I know that it will be a life changing drive for me. The entire drive was very beautiful... snow all around... mountains, snow and road. Stunning combination.. and it was all the more beautiful in Norway. The fjords there are worth every penny that you spend. There was this absolute magical moment on that drive.
It was total snow.. strong winds... low visibility... and we were driving. People were scared to drive and wanted to turn back. But I was like I want to get out of the car and feel this on my skin. It was just so magical that I couldn't let it go. Looked for a spot to stop, and I went out. It was amazing.. Stood out and smoked a cigarette in that. Looking around, I could see everything was just white. The winds gave it a foggy effect. Felt like I am standing in heaven. And there's no one but me. Just me! And then this poem came to my mind. It was a nirvana / moksha moment for me.... Aur mujhe apne hone par yakeen aa gaya!
I have been pretty negative in the past sometime. I promise that ends now! The song for me right now is:
Pink Floyd - Coming back to life
After a long time... I am back!Cheers!
P.S. I will post another long post on the trip (hopefully with some pictures if they come out good). This was more about the special moment...
