Where it all started!
Much like you all, I was never a born traveller.In fact I hated travelling for hours before reaching a place.
For me, the destination was always important than the journey.
My
journey started when I completed my graduation from a renowned college in Pune. I always loved computers and so finally after 3 years of formal education, I was a computer
graduate absolutely clueless as to what shall be done next in life?
Yes. I had no clue about my future. My parents were scared too.
Get a job? Get a master’s degree? Start earning for securing
my future?
No,
I said to myself. The only thing that I needed was some alone time away from
all this hustle and bustle of the city life.
It was then finally, when I decided to take a trip to
Himachal Pradesh. My friends had cancelled the same trip few
months back and this time I was not backing off.
For the first time in my life, I felt like the mountains were
truly calling me, and I needed to go. Along with my buddy Satyajit, I decided
to take this trip. Little did I knew, it would change me forever.
I packed my bags, boarded the plane to Delhi along with my buddy and then took a bus to Manali.
As I woke up from a good night’s sleep, I was stunned to see the view in front of my eyes. All I could see through my window were the lush green mountains with a beautiful river flowing through them. I could just stare at the landscape out there for hours and be happy for no reason. I suddenly realized how the journey is more important than the destination.
And that is where it all started.
Until next time
