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
