BLESSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Friends,
Long time.....felling to write something today...so just jotting down some of my thoughts as a post....

I feel blessed....blessed because when I see my past, I feel that I have come a long way...and journey was not that smooth.....Recently I went to NJ...to meet my cousin .....The easiest route from Syracuse to NJ is a direct 30 mins flight..but I took GreyHound bus (5 hrs)....to be frank...it was a last moment deal and didn't wanted to waste too much money on flight tickets......

People here feel Greyhound to be a hectic and trying journey with not-so comfortable seats, lot of stops etc....but frankly I enjoyed every moment of it....While traveling....I was just thinking about my great old days..in Modasa....the place where I did my engineering...not sure how many people know about it..but yes it has been a memorable place atleast for me.....

Modasa is just a small town in North Gujarat around 100 Kms from Ahmedabad. I still remember and most of you won't believe that...at the time I was doing my engineering there was not even a single rail track to Modasa...and not even Express buses....me with my four friends......used to commute using...State Transport (ST) bus from Surat to Maodasa....It takes almost 8-9 hrs...for the journey.....ST buses used to be crowded with local passengers....at times no place to sit...people stinking, spitting on windows....broken seats...noise...and much more.....
but it was all fun....we all enjoyed it...

Nirav and I used to sleep comfortably...without caring much about things...brihadish as usual used to be busy..chatting with people in bus..making new friends.......and Rajat used to listen to his walkman....few more things were quite fixed...enjoying a flavored milk at Baroda...and a cup of tea at one of the stops....(I do wanna mention that Great Brihadish used to brush his teeth 4 AM in the morning before having tea...frankly god has give this guy lot of strength and patience...)

From there I am here in Syracuse...traveling in Greyhound...with full conditioned with push-back seats..isn't this great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


Thats why I say...I am blessed and Life is Beautiful....
