two strangers...

As decided I went to meet my junior college friend in Mysore. All alone(so excited!) After reaching there We saw the royal Mysore palace and in the evening Vrindavan garden. Its was so beautiful in the evening!
The next day we visited Chamundi hills where there is a temple of chamundidevi. After coming back to main city bus stand we went to one of the restaurant(considering our less budget that was less costlier than the Gufa or Jungle). So we gave our order as some normal north Indian sabji and roti and waited for it to come. As this is hotel is near the Palace it was heavily crowded! Even we waited 10 min to get a table.
So many foreigners were there in that restaurant also. And I was observing two of the ladies who were waiting to get a place. The manager of that restaurant was so kind to them that he told two of us(me and my friend) to give them a place on our table(since all tables were for four chairs and only two of us were sitting). First I was like "what?? why is this manager saying like that?"
But by that time two of those ladies sat beside both of us. I told my friend will start to talk to them but will we understand their language I mean accent? After 2-3 minutes we only started discussion...
Those had come from Canada and one of them was teacher that to of fashion and other was her daughter(daughter's name was Luicy and I forgot the name of that lady). we asked "aren't you afraid of roaming here without any guide?" so she answered confidently "No! I am coming to India for fifth time!". Yes! we were able to understand what they were saying to us and their accent was no good not like Hollywood movie stars! Thank god! After that we asked many questions and discussion continued. That lady had visited many places like Rajasthan, Delhi, In Maharashtra places like Pune and Mumbai,in Uttar Pradesh Varanasi(which she liked most and was having some attachment to that place) and many other! And I was like "You have visited many places than us in India!"
I was wearing a Tee-shirt which had names of Indian ladies like Mother Teresa, Kiran Bedi, Sunita Williams etc. That lady was so impressed by that and she told us that she knows about Kiran Bedi and her work. My friend suggested her the autobiography of her and she repeated the name of book which my friend told and said she will definitely read it!
Then she asked about now a days award grabbing movie "slum-dog millionaire" and also the currently happened "Manglore incident" and didn't forget to ask our opinions about it. We asked them many other things like "Have you seen any dance style of India?" then "Any Indian marriage ceremony?" etc etc.... And both of them were so excited about every cultural thing we have! they were wearing malas of flowers into their neck :)
We finished our lunch and got a bill as 180 for me and my friend and we said to each other "what did we eat for so much of bill?". I don't know about their bill but they had ordered one north Indian and one South Indian meal(asking for less spicy). And after paying bill "This is very cheap restaurant!" was their remark! :)
After that we said "good bye" to each other and left the place. And even after that thoughts going through our minds didn't stop. We had a nice lunch with two strangers.

Expressing...

"No no, I never meant it!" what? Got confused? Don't be... Read on... How many times does it happen to us? How many times we are able to express what do we exactly mean? How many times we utter words we want to say?
We can express our feelings though words by simply saying what do we have in our mind, facial expressions by crying or smiling, actions, sometimes even through silence! Yes, even silence means something and conveys something! Ability to express is a power of oneself. If you can do it properly then you don't need anything else in life...

Things not the same...

Not even thought of being here far away from home. yes, that lovely, protective shell around! And also away from all those friends who were essential part of my day to day life. Having those familiar faces around. But for me even more than that away from a people who speak a known language!
I don't know but I can't help it. Having people around you who are talking in some unknown language and you don't have any choice rather giving a blank look. You can't even read a bus name. Everyday have to ask a driver "Varthur Kodi?"(It's my stop name). Even after that have to tell conductor that "I want ticket for this and that!" Gosh!I am not blaming or anything but just trying to tell my everyday situation. Here I don't have any other option than paying some 180 bucks and watch our beloved Hindi movie in a multiplex which is having extra charges for weekends(their weekend starts from Friday evening as ours :) :D)
And it feels so nice when I hear my mother-tongue here. I know that person or not I will be like haan.. "Marathi" :) and that loud smile on face. So natural it is!
Not only language daily routine has changed SO much. At home in college days you have freedom. You can go whenever you want to college(don't misunderstand here ;)) but here now you are answerable for not going on time. Rather not completing work on time. It's like back to school! I have obviously struggled hard to get myself molded into this machine like life. But now it is only my life. Some interesting things do happen but somewhere deep inside have the feeling of not being the same as they were before. something like "Baat to bas wohi hai na, bus wohi baat nahi"...

start....

Yeah.. after regularly reading and commenting on friends blogs, I have decided to take off the dust from my own blog and keep updating it! And this time not sticking to any particular language... :P
This is not the only reason for writing a blog actually. I really wont to write something and this is the way I think I can at least try to explain myself oe better to say I will try to find something more meaningful or deep about myself! So lets start it...
