I have always complained about being down and dusted by
workload but never even thought of why has it been like that. I mean if you
want to take a break from work you will just do something that interests you
more be it playing games, watching movies or may be just doing nothing and
relaxing in the comforts of your home. This is what I have been doing for my
weekends for past year or so but still I kept finding myself nagging about the
same issue. Very recently I realized that I was not bored from my work, I was
bored from the same old monotonous routine that I was following.
We started accumulating some funds as our "Travel
Fund", thanks to Mikku, it was her idea. All credit goes to her for not
just planning these small trips but also making them remarkable and full of
precious memories. I was ecstatic that these trips can be so much fun at the
same time so light on our pockets.
Our visits to Vaishno Devi was the starting point in this
venture. We covered luxuries of Vivanta By Taj at Bekal and the simplicity of
Nirvana Nature in Kagad. We loved the beautiful Indian heritage of Bekal Fort
and we were mesmerized by the enigma of Yana Caves. We flew, we took roads, we
sailed we even rowed. The mythical stories of Gokarna are now by-hearted and we
also learned that our Pre-Paid Mobile SIM card won't work in Jammu. Now we know
after walking almost 30km in just one day there is nothing like a Hard-Handed
Foot Massage. Despite of being a vegetarian one can experience the sin of
gluttony in it's superlative forms. The apprehension of soothing breeze of any
fresh morning now reminds us that a swinging bed in our own balcony will be a
priority while designing our home which should also be complimented by a tree
house. A hand-in-hand walk on a beach under a starry night is nothing but an
absolute definition of crude romance.
After breaking the shackles of this day to day living we found
the joy of traveling and experienced our craving towards exploration.
So, the tag line justifies its essence... Adventure is out
there...!
