SOLO IN MANALI

We all know whenever we think about going on a trip, lots of shitty things happen. Convince your friends and sometimes their family too then how, where, how long, how many etc etc. But when I thought of Manali came, I knew that I didn't want any of that to happen and didn't want a single thing to ruin my trip. So I came with the only solution and went on a solo trip. Now for few alone on a solo trip might be scary and for few it might be too normal. For me, it was scary but not bad scary, exciting scary. I wanted to do it.
      I took my bus from Delhi to Manali at night & there were all kinds of groups travelling with me- friends, families, couples. The night journey was like a dream. With music playing in background and you kinda visit every city or village on your way well atleast technically and even though you absolutely have no idea about those places even the images are vague because of humidity on windows, you fall in love with them because you are on your own enjoy aura around you and not someone's overwhelming company. It's like you have been to each city you are crossing because you are all there in that journey - not talking to anyone, not sharing it, just travelling with those cities as they pass. 
 In morning when we reached Manali, the view was something you would love to open your tired and sleepy eyes to. When I got down from that bus, all I could feel was cold (temp. was -1°) and my eyes, not showing any intention to blink.
          My camp stay was near "BAHANU BRIDGE" over that unstoppable, as much clean that I could actually see through water, river. I love camping and as some people had mentioned there camps are not as comfy as hotel rooms specially in winters but vibe in there was delusional. Next part was super fun- HIKING. I feel like these things- hiking, trekking, mountaineering etc. makes you feel like you don't feel tormented when destination is worthwhile. But yes that doesn't mean your legs won't hurt later. Still, when you get to dance on DJ on Christmas night, you'll not care how frosty it is or how much tired your body is. You will still do Bhangra on Sidhu Moose Wala's songs (am a crazy punjabi as all Punjabis are). 
Travelling solo is just your experience, other than you no one can own that moment. What part I loved about solo trip was that it was all me. Whenever I saw a beautiful view I had no one to share that feeling to, so I were just telling myself "Look, so beautiful" and that happiness that anyone else would have experienced, I'm experiencing it now and it again making me happy kinda Triple happiness that I were getting from myself.You meet a lot of people when you travel solo because you are all alone so every new company is just a company for you. Ya it was risky sometimes as I met some creeps too so ya horrible and haunting sometimes but you have to be strong enough to deal with it and escape it.

Things I hatred was missing something that you can only do with friends and ofcourse worse - having no one to click your pictures so, they are always disappointing but again then good part of it is that you get to experience quote of TONI MORRISON
“At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.”

And yes it was enough.

Love is not enough

Practical or foolish title? According to some, there are two kind of persons- "If I have love, I can overcome any problem come in my way" and second are those "Love is important but not enough for me to work". But I don't think thats it, I think the who believes in first haven't actually found the problem that can stand between them or they have so many resources or not responsibilities behind them to just look forward to love. In real life, when you so  wanna jump over a cliff for the love of your life, responsibilities hold your hand. Or you care for someone so much that caring less for them for getting your love feels selfish.                 I feel like resources play a very vital role in your reaction towards Love. That thing that we hear "Sometimes person is right but not the timing". Its mostly for those who are chasing something else. Yes, in some cases it's not that meaningful but just an excuse to not get into all this hardship but ...

EVERYONE IS JUST WRITING A STORY

It's just so easy to present yourself as a victim. Everyone has this story of "struggle" that they think makes them worthy, good-enough, unique. Comparing is another behaviour that comes when this "victimises your behaviour". How it works is that you either tell your story to everyone and feel more satisfied when everyone sees you asa lotus that bloomed in a swamp or you listen to others telling their stories to you and you are just sitting there feeling superior because according to you what you went through is a lot and no-one could bear that pressure that you did. Now I am not sure if I could call this superior feel or inferior. So basically humans feel superior when they feel like there was some time in their lives when the person sitting in front of them had more than them, they were not privileged the same, so "They were inferior". Complex, right? Well how fascinating is this awful cycle. Now, let me add something more complex to this. If I or an...

Toys are important than lives

             Never thought while asking for that toy car from my father that having money is a bigger blessings than being alive poor. He refused, I cried, he kept procrastinating but finally my stubbornness won and I got that toy car with which I may have played for a day or two then I wanted something else bigger, expensive, fancy. Now I have grown old a bit for toys but is this what's happening in other houses where fathers are ready to buy their children toys they desire for even if costs them to take few lives. Yes, am talking about all those people who are taking benefits from this situation of pandemic where hundreds and hundreds are dying because those who had to create a protective and supportive system for the men of their country are focused on stuffing their safes with money, who are playing politics, looking for window of opportunities which can either increase their vote bank or favour their so called businesses or worse than all they are...
