The Tree Of Knowledge- A Short Story

The only time Bhalu thought that it was okay to stay back in the fields was when he was expecting Rewari to come his way. She was a beautiful girl. Her sun kissed cheeks, those eyes that crinkled as the sun stared openly, her lips dry with walking all day to reach the school only to come back dragging her feet behind, her legs tired of walking for five kilometers to reach home. But he liked that she stopped by his field for a drink of water. Sometimes he even had fruits that he hid from his father's sight. Those ripe mangoes were just right for his Rewari. Though she didn't like talking. Only those blank stares when his eyes went inadvertently to her breasts. The only time he actually got a closer view to them. But her school uniform just made it impossible for him to actually imagine them any further.

"Why are you so late today?" he asked as he pulled out the earthen pot for her to drink.
"Baba said, I can't go to school now".
It was upsetting to hear the news. She already lived far away from his fields. Now she would never come his way.
"You should insist then if you really like going to school".
For the first time she looked at him, than through him, "Why didn't you ever go to school?"
School wasn't for him. Even his parents knew he was dumb. But he was good at farming. He worked very hard for it.
"I like being a farmer. And the fields won't take care of themselves".
"I am going for high studies to the city. It's the tenth boards and I really want to take it".
That sounded too intimidating for him.
"And then what do you want to do?"
"Maybe apply for a job. Depending on what I am studying. I like math".
Too complicated for him. But at least she was smiling at him. He smiled back. Is it the right time to hold her hand?
"Do you think we could be friends?" She sounded eager, "I like that you want to know what I want".
"But I want to be more than friends...", he couldn't stop at being just that, "I want to marry you".
She dropped the water, "And stay with you as a farmer's wife? What about school?"
"You can study after marriage".
It was a lie. She knew that. But at least he was desperate enough to do that.
"I have to go".
He stopped her by holding her arm. It wasn't supposed to be a tight hold but it hurt. Surprised by the move, she wriggled out of it.
"You have to answer me now".
"No! I don't want to marry an illiterate like you".
She didn't look back.
She just ran. Ran like her life depended on it. Talking to boys wasn't encouraged in her village but she had always looked forward to some rest on her way home. Now she was afraid to even go to school. The one place she loved. And what will happen from tomorrow anyway? Her father would marry her off and her life would be finished.

The next day she sneaked out of her house determined to attend her exams. It was her ticket to freedom. The boy's village came on her way but he was missing. She sighed with relief and wondered why the tree was so crowded.
The boy's lifeless body hung from the tree, his color blue and his shabby clothes torn of his body.

"He was depressed last night and just disappeared into the night", was what she heard when she tried to eavesdrop.

Before she could reach the school, her father was waiting for her. His face red with anger and some other cousins looking equally peeved. She hung her head and before she could say something felt a blow on her head.

"You will listen to your father". "You are a woman, A woman listens!"
And the last she thought that crossed her mind was the puppy love of the boy who gave up his life because she broke his heart and maybe she was soon going to meet him soon.

Friends Or Lovers

Image source: Internet
Having survived, co-ed schooling and Masters, I finally gave up on having friends who were boys. But as the universal truth goes, why can't a man and a woman be friend? Why does it have to involve anything else than just being there for each other? Thanks to our movies, we get that hormonal problem in us that prevents us from seeing men as anything else than prospective boyfriends. Maybe our society looks at a group of girls and guys and think they all could be couples hanging out. But why look at it that way at all when they could just be classmates or colleagues just out to have fun.

Somehow its still unbelievable that they won't get attracted to each other at some point in life. Facing the facts, you will still have some guys who will like the way you look and your career prospect suits her in the longer run but how long can you actually stay friends?

Now, married and years later, I do have friends who are men, platonic because well, I know- they know nothing is ever going to happen because we all have survived relationships and are just looking for someone to talk and relate to. Some of them are my husband's colleagues who are nice to me, keep their distance and we do share a drink or two whenever we meet.

I am a fan of South Indian movies because they could show that love and friendship are two different things. Take the movie Happy Days that came some years ago. It portrays human emotions in an engineering college in such a sweet way that you would wish that you had a college life like that. Honestly you really don't need to learn the language (Telugu) to see the story that revolves around it.


Baapu Bazaar- Street Shopping In Jaipur

Jholas, Bags
Since I keep going to the city once or twice a year, Jaipur has become my kind of place to shop. You can make a huge list of things that you could get from the place and if you have the bargaining skills of a champ then you can spend very little and go home with heavy shopping bags.

Some of the places I always end up going is Bapu Bazaar because its just so easy to walk into the well built pavements where no vehicles crowd you. There is a great parking space just opposite where you could just leave your car safely and forget about it for a few hours.

If you are a fan of tradition and colors then there is a huge list of things that you could get here. You could be confused for a while of what to get but the colors will lure you and you will just have such a good time here.

laakh Bangles 
The mehendi wala sits around where you could get your henna decoration done. And who said you needed an occasion for mehendi. For Jaipur, every day is a celebration of colors.  There will be food stalls serving the chat that we all love, coconut water, so you won't exactly go hungry while spending sme serious time here. So have fun shopping!

5 Best Restaurants in Jaipur

I love food as much as I love travelling and one thing I do explore about a place is its food culture. If you really want to know the core of any city then eat away in glory and do not count calories. And forget about searching for the fast food options, here is just enjoying the city as much as the food here. And Jaipur will gives you so many options, you have to pick and choose. 

Tapri



If making breakfast in the morning is not your thing then go ahead and head to this very interesting mix of restaurant. The entrance is lovely and will give you a homely feeling, maintaining the look of a road side tea stall. The elegant woodwork and the amazing view of the Central Park will give your morning a swift kick start. The menu that we ordered was a bowl Maggie, Beans on Papad, Aloo paranthas, paneer paranthas, masala omlette and lots of chai. The menu might confuse you in the beginning if you are used to the usual Indian menu. You will usually find jogger coming down here for fresh light breakfast.

Steam


This is how you celebrate royalty in Jaipur. And we choose this place to celebrate my husband's birthday. Steam literally means a train that was a personal carriage of the royalty of Rajhasthan. The train reminded me of the movie The Burning Train but of course the good part of the movie. And you could either book the coupe inside if you love to sit inside the train and eat or outside if you like the view of the palace of Rambhag. Almost everything we ordered so good. Though I would avoid the soups because the shorbas are not that appetizing. Do try the chicken wings, they are juicy in the KFC style.


WHERE| Taj Rambhagh palace, C Scheme, Jaipur

100 % Rock

If you love great food and music together then this is the place for you. Not exactly for a family this place serves some really good food. The college crowd is forever here till late in the night and if you like some time away for yourselves then come here to eat and dance the night away.

Share The Load

“I am writing for the #ShareTheLoad activity at BlogAdda.com in association withAriel.”

When you come to the Indian mentality of how women despite working have to take care of the laundary, well it's true. That's what men expect from their wives. The tag 'wife' makes a woman suddenly grow up from that carefree teenager/ girl to a very responsible woman who has the duty of pleasing her husband- and laundry comes first. I like the idea of women once in a while forgoing this in exchange of other activities- say like bungee jumping. I know, its laughable, but who knows what wonders it would do the relationship if the husband actually helps out with the load of those unwashed clothes.

Having a washing machine is perhaps the greatest boon to any man out there. And also a woman. I think that solves half the problem too. I do find my husband doing things for me in a small way. No he doesn't really dig in deep when it comes to laundry, but once in a while he does hang the clothes outside or wash his own when I am in a hurry to go out. It does goes a long way in making us happier than most self depreciating couples. But its not only laundry, its the battle of every household chore that needs equal sharing. And it really doesn't make you less of a man by giving your wife a hand. I remember having a simple meal of bread a omelette made by my partner because I had to go out for work.  It really meant a lot than all those promises of moon and the stars. I also believe that I work equally hard at home, in keeping my child clean, happy and entertained while my husband works outside. And it's a tiring thankless job. So I really love it when I get my time while my son goes out to play in the evening with his dad. It's his share of helping me out and loving me. Sometimes saying those three words doesn't matter. It's the marriage thing that you got to work it out by breaking the rules. Create your own rules of being happy, of helping your partner.

And remember that she really didn't know anything before she got married to you. All those delicacies and the neat folded underwears in your cupboards does not mean she is your slave. It means that you mean more to her than anyone.  So help her while she works and you while away your time watching cricket. It doesn't take much to make your partner happy. Its the thought and effort you show that makes a relationship truly work. 

Celebrate Life with Travel

#CelebrateLifeAtIvy by owning a dream home atIvy estate, an 85 acre estate with 34 acres of greenery and open spaces. Join the 1600 happy families already living here. Check out this walkthrough video and decide for yourself.

What makes you love life and wake up in the morning and look forward to the day? Sometimes it's families, most of the times it the giggle of your toddler and the unexpected hugs from your partner. But living in the army, we get a good quota of holidays and the time we are not travelling, we plan about travelling and this gives us the greatest pleasure. Exploring places and being a part of a history, is how I celebrate my life. Being an army wife is not exactly living in the lap of luxury and this is more the reason why we are the way we are. Hungry for adventure and hungry for a new place every time. 
Mule Ride in Kufri, Shimla

The Taj


UK, Trafalgar Square

Gulmarg, Srinagar


The last time we traveled to Kerala, Uttar pradesh and Rajhasthan has been a roller coaster ride. And this was all in a space of a few days. I always think that it would be impossible to travel with a 3 year old active toddler but it somehow works out magically. When you have the determination and enthusiasm to do what you want to do then nothing can really deter you. And that's what makes me happy. I don't let things like that bother me and I believe that being comfortable with your life makes everyone around you relax. The long road trips, those late night stops at dhabas in Agra to have aloo paranthas, the tall cool glass of sugarcane in Ajmer and the hot paneer bread pakodas at Kurja,  having pani puri at Bapu Bazaar, Jaipur are far more priceless than just having a five star meal at a place you always lived and never want to move. I crave to go on a trek someday but I need to be fitter than what I am. And I am working towards a healthier lifestyle along with some inspirational travel. 

Coming home to memories and a memory card full of amazing pictures will last longer than you. And not just for posting pictures on social media, but travel because you have to, because it will make your life feel blessed and because you will just love your life more every day. 

My thirst for travel will never end and it's not only the world but also the smaller places in India that needs all the attention possible. You cannot forget visiting those old monuments and see from the eyes of another. Hire a guide and don't save money for a rainy day. Money will always come, but these experience just makes you feel energetic. 

It's time for me to travel again and I can't wait to make new plans.

Shimla- A Honeymooners Delight

Time files when you reach Shimla. A small city in the heart of Himachal, you would find so many things to explore here. The plan we chalked out was a simple one. The bus from Chandigarh seemed ideal, cheap and would make us reach pretty soon too. But the bus was getting unusually late and we were waiting for it to start for more than an hour now. We were almost taking a cab when a young couple asked us to share the expense with them. It seemed best then. He was just dropping his girlfriend home and we would get a ride for 500 bucks. Hitchhiking couldn't get more easier. We booked the Holiday Resort which had the best location so far. In fact we walked up to the Mall road, taking those uneven steps. The enormous elevator that took us to the Mall road was great too. But we preferred to walk here. If you just want to explore the town then you could actually walk and take in the sights, But if you are a serious tourist and want to make the most out of the place than hire a cab for an entire day. They will take you to all the view points and important places.

The View from Kufri Holiday Resort
The Mall Road
The shops have interesting things to sell and you could just window shop if you are not much into spending and lugging a heavy suitcase around. But you could discover some good woolen clothes to take back home. And fake branded shoes if you want to walk and tear it out in Shimla. I had the misfortune of carry only boots which became a pain in the end and ended up buying sneakers for 500 bucks again. It made my ride so smooth. So don't get too much into the style thing and carry sensible shoes in the end. And a good coat will ensure that you do look good in your pictures. There is also a theater that shows all the new movies, you could always get here if walking tires you out.

Food is good in most of the places here. After all its north India, they thrive on tourists here and you can get delicious delicacies- hot and fresh.



Indian Institute of Advanced Study



One of the photographs in IIAS
The summer houses at the time when British invaded India, this building has been converted into an institute for Phd studies. The beautiful architecture and the gallery that leave a mark of who has been living in this palatial house some ages ago. It has a positive vibe about it inside and the woodwork is so beautifully maintained that you would want to live here. If you are an aspiring student then maybe you could apply here. You could get in if you are really brilliant. The souvenir shop has some interesting books on the history of the place. Do pick it up.




Kufri

The perfect place to ride up on the mule and see a little snow. Although the summers are a little harsh here and the snow will be visibly invisible, you could just get a few pictures done by the local photographers and wear the traditional dress of Himachal. Get quirky with them and take some not so innocent pictures. You can even get a Yak ride and hold a python, if you are that brave. It's a busy place and the tourists really can crowd the place but don't be discouraged and do go on this ride.

The Ice-skating

You can hire the skates but the sizes are sadly unavailable. If you are an ice skate enthusiast then carry a pair from home. You will see children gliding on the snow, putting some adults to shame. But since you will be a beginner, no one will actually notice.

These are some of the place that I have been to and I really enjoyed the place despite the bad reviews I got from many. Yes, Shimla is crowded but you can never get enough of it.

Taj Mahal - A True Love Story or a Myth?

We drove down from Kurja, Uttar Pradesh where we were visiting relatives and going to see our very own Taj Mahal in Agra. We took the Yamuna Expressway and we had such a great ride. The midway has a restaurant and a washroom and if you live in Delhi then you have such an amazing weekend getaway. 
Living in India, if you haven't visited this monumental master piece, well than, you haven't really done a lot in your life then. But I really miss those days when there wasn't a big hoopla was seeing the Taj. It was just a normal day out, entering the historical sight, roaming freely without those plastic thingies on my feet. But perhaps the Taj falling apart could be one of the reasons why they have all these rules levied upon it these days. 
The local transport to the Taj

The entrance gate


the First Look

Posing from another angle

But all that is secondary. First is the view of Taj as you cross the roads and see the Yamuna River (that's getting dry) and you will be zapped at first, filled with a sense of anticipation. The Taj Mahal, is named aptly. It really does look like a crown (on the head of India). There is a entry that starts from its entrance, that's just two kilometers away. You can hire a jhonga or a camel cart. Both are attractive and interesting as a mode of transportation. They will charge you Rs 10 per person. Or if you are good with this bargaining thing, then maybe less. I am not good at bargaining and tend to give away money without a word. The ride was good but the line was long and I mean super long. The guide around will charge you 600rs for entering directly without the hasseles of joining a queue. And its up to you. There will be a through checkup, no eatables and certainly no metals allowed. You can carry baby food if you want. They are kind with people with children. Now if you move forward (and i am sure you are dying to just skip that other entrance), you will see the wide gardens maintained beautifully. You can get your personal photographer too if you want the right angle for those amazing evergreen pictures, We got one and it's really romantic and quirky and you can share a few laughs too. 

The videography is not allowed after you step into the gate where you can see the Taj Mahal. But take loads of pictures, no one will stop you. Don't forget to take a camera pass too. The line continues as you get nearer and if you can get a VIP pass (like defense) or simply buying one will get you in front sooner. It's happening all around the world now, taking such passes to get into the building. Crammed, you will still get to look around, there isn't much inside except for two very imposing graves of the ruler and his favorite wife. So did you know Mumtaz Mahal was actually having an affair with Shah Jahan before they got married? She was already married then and he killed her husband to get her. Eventually they were so much together, they conceived 14 children. And she died of child birth. But still he loved her, the point is that. And in those times, you have to consider that arrange marriage was a thing. Kingdoms married to gain another kingdom, so well you have to give then that. 

The Persian and Arabic scriptures on the walls is intact though the little holes that you see along the way are the gems and precious stones removed by whoever invaded India. Imagine those guys had so much money to squander on a tombstone. But the actually gave is under ground and no one is allowed to see that now. Some even say that it has been moved. But could be rumors. I had the chance of going underground in 2002, but now you just gaze at it longingly. A history buff, it really does take the charm away. 

You can loiter around the corridors for a few more pictures and then take your way home. We even visit the handloom shops which is sadly lacking in choice. So it's alright if you skip it. Just enjoy the ride of seeing the Taj and come home with a happy heart. 

P.S- So after getting married, this was the first time we actually visited the place, but no, i really do not want a Taj Mahal on my name. I think my books will keep me alive for a long long time. 


That awkward moment when you are supposed to look into each other's eyes and everyone's staring

Pizza Nights For children (of any age)

When your toddler loves junk food then why not just make it at home. You will know what to add and you will know that it would have more veges than cheese. Although mozzarella cheese is considered very good for children, just not in excess please.
I have used a round oven at home which is very easy to use and the pizza comes out better than from the microwave. Its the old traditional gadget of making pizza, cakes and snacks at home within the army circle. Army wives eventually do take up baking as their hobby and I for one love cooking special dishes once in a while. Although I am far from being an expert, I can whip up a decent pizza at home.

Ingredients:


  1. Mozzarella cheese (grated)
  2. Pizza base
  3. onions 
  4. tomatoes
  5. capsicum

  8. Chilli flakes


Procedure:


  1. Spread the tomato sauce, cheese and the other veges on top of the pizza base
  2. Roast the chicken piece on your stove or oven and shred it to pieces beforehand
  3. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees 
  4. Baste the cake tin with butter and place the pizza base carefully inside.
  5. Let it bake for 20 min.
  6. Voila! yummy pizza is ready

I used a cake tin to bake

Ngaloi Water Falls- A Hidden Gem In Manipur

Churachapur is a small town, a little an hour away from Imphal. And just an half an hour away is Ngaloi Water Falls. The beautiful town that you come across while you drive towards this little hideaway, is worthwhile. The weather in Manipur is always good. Summer lasts for a few days with nights being a bit chilly, so you don't really need a ceiling fan either. The village is sort after by tourists and during the holidays and festivals, the locals often come here to relax. You can find a lot of young crowd coming in. Though not a very crowded place despite of that. You can get your family and friends and enjoy some time away from smartphones. Watching the falls is one of the best thing you could do. The sound of water hushing away all that crowds your mind.

The cafe that's just a stone throw away from the falls, will cater beer, maggie, tea and chips for those who like to just walk in. Its a pretty little hut with pink curtains. The simplicity of this place is unimaginable.

The Ngaloi village was earlier the main town of churachanpur district. But due to the Kuki- Pathai riots, the entire village was burnt and people had to find another place to live. The village still exists and has come up very well in a few years. Its greener in this part of the town and water is no problem here at all as compared to other parts of Manipur.

So if you are visiting Imphal, do make a trip here. It's very different from all those tourist-y places that you have ever been.

Will Of Steel- And an Inspiration to all

SAMUEL CHETTIAR

When you think about courage, you think about soldier's at the border, the police who scours for criminals and perhaps ever man/ woman in uniform. But your bet is right. They are courageous but they fight because its their job. What about people who actually thought their life would be just the way it is? Cancer suffering patients always dream about a perfect life. But the stress of Chemo and medications takes a toll on them and they soon start to forget themselves. They can just lie and wait for life to pass by but not this man. I am talking about Samuel Chettiar, who decided that his battle with life with be running a marathon. He has not let his health defeat him. It takes guts, a strong will and of course a heart of gold to have him do this. And mind you, running a marathon means running for kilometers and training for it till you can actually complete it. Its not wearing T shirts and posing for facebook, it takes a lot to just start the journey and Samuel has shown us that the real happiness lies in fitness and committing your life to a mission. He dreams of running a marathon in Paris 2015 and I really hope he does it. He has dedicated his run to his 9 year old neice, a girl who fought hard with cancer but died not long ago. 

Vote for Samuel Chettiar here

I’m voting for Samuel Chettiar's #WillOfSteel and blogging on BlogAdda to help him get felicitated and eventually enabled by JSW.


SUJATHAN

Actors/directors perhaps are the only people in the art industry that truly get recognized. What about those who work behind the scenes? Sujathan is not working for a filmfare but he is considered one of the greatest artist who have designed backdrops of several plays. His age hasn't dulled his interest in painting some more and even if a tinned roof and ply wood cut outs as his studio, he shows the true artist's work lies only in his art. Be it good or bad weather, he is always there when it comes to being Kerela's most beloved artists of all times. He has made Indian proud and has made his state proud too. I love him because he has not forgotten the real zest of life even at his old age. 

And perhaps one day I hope to write with wrinkles on my fingers and chipped nails, hoping to live life to my fullest. Just like Sujathan.

Vote for Sujathan here.
