Glory Bubble

The shack echoed with a cheerful clamour and claps when Sachin guided the last ball out of the boundary. For him it was just another victory, but for the people there it became a reason to unfasten their shirts button and fly it making a wreath of contentment.

A sweet sillage and drop of water from his torn out roof plunged into his eyes brought him a new morning. Sachin, woke up with the reminiscences of the last night Indian victory and his favorite cricketer Sachin Tendulkar one more century.  Sachin, lives in a small slum-house nearby Nizammudin railway station in Delhi. Every morning while rinsing his body with cold water he sings the latest Hindi movies songs. He goes to school with his friends who adore him as much they respect  Sachin Tendulakar.

Rise India

How hard is to desert a place to which one knows that he can never return. Such nostalgic melancholies are the most rewarding things about travelling. Tourists might articulate India as the land of bumpy rickshaw rides to the zenith Zen gardens for meditation in Andaman; a walk in the clouds of Sikkim to the witnessing the majestic - Rath-Yatra of Puri; strolling in the precarious dark streets of Bihar and marching in the place to feel patriotic –Wagah Border; and   relishing the “kebabs” of Lucknow and hallucinating on the aroma of Darjeeling tea. The Country which affirms “unity in diversity” is diffused into several unitary states and capitals. But there is an essential unity of outlook, which one can notice from north to south and east to west.

Indian society has progressed by a synthesis of the emerging contradictions. This incorporates several Indian traditions. Every year millions of tourists from every corner of the globe fly to India, to witness the virgin innate beauty, magnificent forts and palaces which have stories embedded in their scriptures; to witnesses India’s rural life and breathe the enchanting scent of its lifestyle. The “Golden Bird” spreads it wings from agriculture in the west to literature in the east. The excursionist savors himself with the spices of Kerala and delights in the jaunt of “Shikaras” in the extreme north.
