My life versions

Fortunately it was summer.. not the winters, like the one I came in March.. in comfortable temperatures but amid dust storms, we were driving through the rough roads to a remote village in Changthang, on a camper.. my job this season was to meet the villagers and setup up homestays in the offbeat places where we installed power.. and also this time find appropriate site for setting up telescopes and identify women to be trained as part of our astronomy for development project.. As we entered the gravel roads, the first stone avalanche board appeared.. we just drove, humming the songs on my playlist, when we heard some rumblings on the roof.. fortunately it was just the front glass that cracked little, nothing major happened.. drive continued, and the music, and also continued this fortunate adventure.. the brakes were behaving abrupt, so we stopped a while for the machine to cool down.. there I spotted some interesting bird species in the Indus that flowed beside that gravel we drov

I totally forgot this blog exists! Yes it has been more than a year since I wrote something and surprise, life already moved to another version.

This was in a few notebooks hidden somewhere in my room in Hyderabad, unlike this one, my earlier versions I wrote with a pen, on a notebook. Am sitting in Noida, 21 Sept 2016. The circle of life brought me here again. I do not like this place at all due to many reasons. One is the filth that is here and the people are so much okay to live with it. The spitting and tobacco chewing locals also disturb my nerve. I can’t imagine how I stayed here for 2.5years. The high effluent crowd and the noise makes it worse, and what to say about the high population and the street dogs. Phew, am sure my stay will not be long here. So why am here? Before coming to that, let me put in few lines where my life was earlier, so that (if interested) you don’t have to find those notebooks. Life 1.0 (Feb 1986 – Aug 2004) Start of life in the safe arms of parents and teachers in Lu
