Photo Trip!!

My first photo trip, fantastic experience...

Some of India's corner are truly heaven!!

we started on the 12th evening by boarding the bus. almost 90% of the participants were amity students but i did not know them so it was amazing to get to know some new people. my juniors are such crazy chaps i tell you...haha.

13th morning we reached at Mcleodganj. then we took local taxis and went a little up the hill to dharamkot(near dharamshala). we settled down at a small cafe called Radhe Krishna cafe...it had a beautiful view towards its rear...

thats a waterfall behind this tree..

i know my photography sucks...hehe

this trip was not much of a learning experience as i did not click coz of continues rain.

it was quite irritating to see the non stop rain.

but then it was good fun coz i had good people around me.

next day we went treking up to triund. 9kms of treking dude was truly an amazing experience.. on the some clicks i found!!

The prettiest thing i have ever seen probably!!

I was the first girl to finish the trek..hehe

i could not believe i completed 9kms of trek. God hell of a climb it was..

Triund was amazing. Clouds were beneath us and not above. i have never seen or heard something like this.

but again so much of rain that i did not feel like taking out my cam and clicking something and also we faced the sunset and pitch black darkness soon as there is no electricity available there.

Next day we treked down back to Dharamkot. Bad knee pain i got while climbing down the mountains... uff its still is....

it was a relief after reaching back to our rooms and having a nice warm bath...

clicked some average moon photographs as it was the full moon..

Tried to get the colors of the cloud as much as possible....

i love the photograph below....i love the effects created from the clouds...:)

15th aug we stayed up the whole night. God how much we laughed i cant even imagine. For the first time in my life i did not sleep for the whole night. not even for a second. and hahaha joke after joke. one liner after one linerssss......lol

i can never forget that night..

cant disclose much as they are secrets...ssshhhh....:P

hahaha

next day some morning pics...

all in all it was a fantastic and mesmerizing trip.. such beauty lies only in India.. :D

Friendssss

Friends ??? who are they??

some say friends are those who stand by your side come what may. Its been years and i did make some great friends but now if i think i have no one with whom i can share whenever i want and whatever i feel. its just so weird to realize how people change. i mean they don't even think twice before leaving you (whom they sometime back considered as "FRIENDS"). Just by saying again and again "I LOVE YOU" , "YOU ARE MY BFFF", "WE'LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER" and blah blah blah.. just few words for them. never meant to perform or mean them. its so fucking irritating. Every time u get betrayed, hurt and broken and the other person does not even care. They still laugh, smile and have fun and u r left as a LONER....I never wanted this. i never wanted a huge bunch of friends, just one i needed who will be always be my side and whom i can trust my soul on. the world is cruel, they test you, they break you and they laugh on you too.

Once my so called friends surrounded me with themselves and got me so much involved that i almost forgot to be alone but then suddenly one day they vanished.

one instance, long time school friend, i just did not wish him on his bday coz i was out of town and now after nearly 2 months he just messaged on facebook saying "goodbye, no hard feelings!!"... thats it.. everything over. so easy for others and they dont even realize that something like this can kill you. and now after everything i have chosen to stay alone as much as possible. i do miss my some friends with whom i shared some of my greatest memories but it seems they have gone too far from me. may be i am at fault somewhere, of course i am wrong too, u can never clap with one hand after all but its me at the end whose always left alone. I always try and be there for my friends when they need me but when 'I' need them they just vanish. Its shitty... I just want to have one good friend with whom i can never be sad. i wana be myself, like i was, always happy, full of life, full of DANCE. Because of all this i am taking a break from my dance. I never ever thought in my life i would ever make that kind of decision. but now here i am not going to my dance , not having a meaning to my life, not having friends, not smiling, not laughing, not jumping around everywhere. I WANT TO BE BACK. I wish i do...

My Dance!

Nearly 5 years ago i had this workshop from SDIPA in my school. i still remember being in 9th std and the workshop was on the 3rd floor classroom. 3 instructors were there to conduct the small introduction class. The first thing they said that no books are allowed. haha. That day probably was the finest day of my life.

just few days before this workshop i saw this film called 'bunty aur babli' and in the song Nach Baliye, Shiamak was featured(as it was his choreography). I literally did not know who is that guy singing round round round..Haha

and at the day of the workshop the instructor asked us the signature step for nach baliye and then it clicked me that it was Shiamak i saw that day in the movie. Probably that was the beginning of my Dance life. i just came back home and asked my dad that whether I can join these classes or not. He immediately said yes and then there was no looking back. I still remember my beginners’ batch at Janak Puri with instructors Deeba and Darshan and we performed on 'Chodh do Aanchal' song. :) December 2005 for the first time I performed on stage in front of an audience. And just few minutes before my performance i sprained my leg...haha though I completed my show and it was the best feeling ever. it was surprising to realise that I was not nervous at all. : D that was when i gathered that i am meant to dance and it is the only thing in this whole world which can give me ultimate happiness. During this batch only I got selected for my first audition for Melbourne CWG closing ceremony act which was being choreographed by Shiamak. Of course i did not get selected as it was my first encounter towards an audition and that too in front of Shiamak himself. it was funny, I still remember that disastrous audition.. haha we only freaked out. lol
but anyway. Auditions are always a benefit, u gain confidence.

Then after that of course there was no stop. Batch after batch, performance after performance, all was just like a dream.

And then Vijay’s july batch where I had 4 instructors (one of them took my workshop back in school).

That was probably my best batch ever. Vijay is the sweetest person on this earth. He made me feel like a star. Got split center position boosted my confidence like camel. Ha-ha. May be it required. Okay now I better stop because I can go on and on with Vijay... Ha-ha.

Then around 2007 or 08 I got selected in the “Special Potential Batch”... Everyone in SDIPA dreamt of being in SPB. So as me probably but I wasn’t craving to get selected for this batch like others. SPB experience was not all that bad with all ups and downs I still was connected to dance which made me more than happy.

To be Continued .....
