T his Feb, its going to be 5 yrs since I started this wonderful Journey! This blog and all the networking sites associated with it has given me so much (though I must confess I have been unfaithful many times) I guess its only fair I fulfill all the promises I made you and share with you all I have, before the day. Even though the blog name says " Me, Myself and My Journey " it was never 'Mine' alone. Each trip posted here (and the ones still pending) was possible only because of the support I got from my Dear & Near ones. Hours of planning, long calls, hour long discussions, leave letters, ticketing, hotel bookings, (without advance booking), the wait to reach you all, the meeting points, the start, the journey, happiness, laughter, farewell, promise of a next journey, leaving back to own homes, and then the wait - you made it all possible all these years.

Above the water level, she was just average! Any ways, I d

T he flight had taken off at the right time and now we were flying steadily above the cotton clouds. When I looked through the window, I could see tiny houses and the trees far below. Huge mountains appeared as small hills... I was lost in thoughts about my loved ones when I heard a sweet voice announcing refreshments! I looked down the aisle and saw a beautiful air hostess coming towards me pushing the food cart. She had the most charming smile I had ever seen, and at that moment, I knew I was in love! She said something which I didn't hear at first. "Hmm.. her voice is so soft, it is barely audible. Sorry mom.. you are going to have a hard time hearing your daughter-in-law after our marriage!!!" I tried hard. Still I couldn't hear a thing. She came very close and shook my shoulders. At first, I didn't feel a thing. Again she shook my shoulder, This time I felt it... and also heard it clearly "Swalpa jaga beedi" (please give some way) Suddenly I was aw
