AUTHENTIC TEX-MEX

It took me 17 years to meet two of my engineering batch-mates recently. In Houston. While having some really authentic Tex-Mex with AG and BK, I could still feel a level of comfort and ease...the freedom to talk anything...the freedom to make fun of each other with a certain sense of mutual enjoyment...notwithstanding the prominent greys and thickening glasses. A few moments spent together...but within those few moments...we knew...we could connect to a certain period of our past which was incredibly charming and spicy...like the food we were having...in that great city.

While countries and jobs changed, and expectation from lives kept evolving, yet something stayed miraculously intact...a bond which we shared and hopefully will continue sharing. A bond which has been nurtured by the strength of it's early foundation.

Many times, when we say goodbye to someone, we do not know when we will get a chance to meet the person again, if at all. I am yet to meet at least seventy percent of my engineering branch-mates post my graduation.

Not that we are not in touch. In the era of social media, remaining in touch virtually is never a problem. But that special real meet is so elusive..Do grab it whenever you get a chance....life moves really fast and the speed of time increases with age..

ANTWERP CENTRAL STATION

As deep as I can peep into my past, I always sense very fond and nostalgic memories of railway stations. So many moments of childhood began and ended in railway stations. My love for railway stations continues and whenever I get a chance I don't miss a visit into a station to experience the magical energy of the mixed sound of thousands of fast moving footsteps and eager voices. European settings provide infinite moments to any traveler. Antwerp is no exception too. Like any other European city with a strong medieval connect, Antwerp owns its history and legends. While it may take pages to write about Antwerp, let me restrict this post to the first landmark of Antwerp, its getaway - its very own train station, the Antwerp Central, located in Koningin Astreidplein, in the heart of the city. The brainchild of King Leopold II and designed by Louis Delacenserie, Antwerp Central, with its stone clad structure and huge dome, has s...

THE CLASSIC RIVALRY OF OLD ZAGREB

We stood there absorbing the beautiful sunset that Old Zagreb, locally known as Gornji Grad, offered. The February evening was delightfully clear and presented a view to remember. In front of us, mingling with the red tiled roofs, dominated majestically the two famous monuments - the Zagreb Cathedral of Kaptol and the St. Mark's Church of Gradec...along with the bits and the pieces of the historic panorama of a thousand years. Few centuries back, during the medieval period, when the region was not known as Zagreb, existed two hill top settlements - the Kaptol and the Gradec, separated by the then existing rivulet Medvescak. The Kaptol housed the Cathedral and was the religious center while the Gradec was home to the merchants and the craftsmen. It took the two settlements centuries of bitter rivalry before prudence took over and they decided to unify during the nineteenth century, thus together becoming Zagreb. The reasons for this bitterness were many ranging from s...

DREAMS OF A SIMPLE AFRICAN MAN

(From my diary of 2009) Riding bumpily on the muddy stretch of land which they call roads, we were busy confirming appointments with representatives of various oil companies who have a strong presence in this part of the world (Port Gentil in Gabon). I was accompanied by a Gabonese guy who was entrusted with the joint responsibility of driving me to the respective offices and be the French-English translator wherever required. The meetings went well…enlightening to be precise. It’s a great experience to understand how culturally diverse people can be. But I don’t intend to go in-depth into how people work here. I will rather like to look back into the dreams of a simple African…or shall I say the dreams of a simple man!!! This guy should be in his late thirties…its difficult to estimate the ages of people. A native of Togo, he had moved into Gabon in the pursuit of a better life. These days, he has been granted Gabonese citizenship and has well adopted to the nuances of t...
