YOUR BEST FRIEND (by Sudipto Basak)



When you see the devil in black robe,
Feel the prison stone in stripped clothes,
When you cry with blood drenched tears…
Are you gonna go down?
Are you gonna taste the dust?


If you are gripped in bone crackling snow,
Caught in grueling rain,
Desecrated, completely with tearing pain,
In the mud of skeletons pulling you down,
In the pain of loved ones leaving you; going down,
Is it the point where you give up?
A point where you prefer laying down crying aloud


When your belly burns with hunger
Not even a loaf of burger
When your heart evaporates with anger,
Feeling so helpless, needless you are left;
Shrugged away neglected down under
What you gonna do?
Whom you gonna cling to?
Are you gonna give up?

Remember IT is still with you,
Something which even fate can’t snatch,
Something which never fades,
Something that fuels you from within,
Somebody who will never put you aside,
Soothes you from inside

A gift from god that wants something more,
‘just’ your patience.
I know you know who and what it is,…A little hope,
Your best friend

jub jindgime aa jati hai hatashaa.,
log to sirf dekhte hai tamasha,

tab ek hi cheez sath deti hai..wo hai khud ki khud par aur khuda parki aastha...
sooo..bro..keep it the good creatv work..njoyy...

Gurudongmar – A literally breathtaking experience

Image
‘One step at a time’, I told myself as I struggled to grip the ice cold railing on the staircase that seemed to be going up forever. The sub-zero breeze was somehow finding its way through my heavily padded nose and ears, making them numb, as I wheezed and puffed with each stair. The sun was in its ascent, sans a few clouds, the sky was bright and blue. The clarity, you can only dream about in Delhi and Mumbai.   The rays bounced off the surface of the water, reflecting its turquoise hue and making it glitter as if millions of diamonds were strewn merrily on the pristine calm partially frozen waters. In a chalice of snow-capped Himalayan range, the glacial water of Gurudongmar Lake is in true sense a drink of God. Even as I struggled to find my breath at the height of 17800 ft. above sea level, my body putting extra efforts to keep the desired oxygen levels in the body in the low pressure -low oxygen surroundings, I pondered at this nature’s exuberance. A small lake, the si

Solitude at Sea

Solitude at Sea A brief  compilation of  the   Non-Stop, Solo , Under Sail  and Unassisted Circumnavigation of the World  by Commander Abhilash Tomy of Indian Navy bas ed on his blog Sagarparikrama 2;  book 151 days at Sea and an interview. Chapter I:  Mountaineering in High Seas The 25-meter-tall  Mas t never looked so ominously towering  before. In an unsteady boat in the middle of th e not so pacific,  S outh Pacific O cean to hoist oneself up the stick without a crew winching you is a task that most sailors  would  avoid. A patch of blue was the only solace in the overcast morning of 11th January 2013.  As he woke up on board a rocking Mhadei,  Commander  Abhilash  Tomy  noticed that the  easy  stow was in an unusual position with one of its holding lines parted and trailing in water. Another look at the mast confirmed that it is going to be one of the most demanding days of his voyage. A voyage he started almost 71 days back from the shores of Mumbai, in an attem
