THE LAND OF SAI

On 13th march, I boarded the train that took me too shirdi. It was my first trip to the land of Sai Baba. 22 hours of journey had kept me ambit from my god father.

You suddenly realize that you are standing at mid-seas braving the storm and trying to figure out that which direction to sail, a final hope which would save you from drowning. The basic question which comes in our mind is what sustains you at such moment? In that circumstances how do you renew your faith? Do we lose ourselves in the maze of misery or find out a way to fight against it? The choices we make in these decisive moments can change the rest of our lives for better or worse. We all wish for a better future for ourselves. Some work towards it while others just rely on their luck but no matter how perfectly it is planned there are bound to be disappointments. When we are young we think that nothing can hurt us. Your whole life is ahead of you big plans for your future. But as we grow old we realize th
