The Starting Point of the Journey....

Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man, space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture. Same goes with the life we lead, sometimes you need to mix up your daily schedule to explore a new untouched journey to know the new unknown self even you think you are used to it.

Sometimes when we start something we work out on the full base plan, but most of the best ideas originally comes out when you let your mind go wild and creative, this as well goes with the journey and exploration. You just need to plan the basic thing and let yourself indulge in that journey, who knows you may end up enjoying that without even expecting it!

Occasionally, life itself feels like an adventure, much like traveling from road to road. The memories we gather, observations we make, and lessons we learn along the way are invaluable. Every journey, with its set destination, unfolds gradually, answering our curiosities and teaching us more than we ever expected.

Just as in travel, the unexpected twists and turns of life offer the most memorable experiences. Embrace these moments, as they hold the key to personal growth and understanding. Enjoy the journey and let each step bring new insights and joy.

Different color and emotions of life...

Travel is all about experiences. And one of the experiences that really enrich your travels is meeting new people – whether it’s a quick exchange of pleasantries or a slow conversation over a meal, shaking hands with a new culture makes travel beautiful and meaningful.

The universe also works in similar but still in some mysterious ways, it’s complex but there is perfect harmony in it. There are no coincidences in our lives, everything that happens to us is part of a bigger context, everything happens for a reason.

In your life also, you will meet many people, and every single person will have a purpose. Some people are meant to stay in your life, others are going to leave, but everyone will play a part in your existence. But the journey keeps on going just like the train ride where the landscape changes, the people change, but the train keeps moving.

Life experiences change us as people and these experiences can affect our lives both positively and negatively, but still life is all about experience. It helps us recognize who we are and what we want to do. Some experience helps us to grab more about our inner self. Thus, sometimes the journey with us, becomes a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself and the various colors and emotions of life, meeting different, people collecting various memories which will stay as a lifetime important recollection.

Memory is an intrinsic part of our life experience, as some memories stick better than others, as well as accepting their fluidity, helps us reduce conflict and better appreciate just how much our memories impact our lives. But most importantly by having memories, we will know what is right and what is wrong.

For me, at every point memory helps me to remember also sometimes to discover the new me which was still unknown to me. Every time that I close my eyes and I let my mind be free, my head starts to be full of different images, people place, events; experiences that have left a mark in my life.

Some memories engraved forever...

What's the most intriguing part of journey is not only the experience or self-discovery but also one another most important part which defines these both other mentioned characteristics, are the self-graves yet some precious memories earned during those times.

Still at the end of every journey, we get a new revelation or results which makes us of who we are today. They are a reminder of the simple joys in life and make me grateful for the people and experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. Even at this point too, I'm still waiting for another new journey of me and myself to unfold, with its new destination and a brand-new adventure, which is yet to be discovered..........

"If you are brave enough to say goodbye life will reward you with a new hello".

My First Solo Travel: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Adventure

Once upon a time, I embarked on a journey to Delhi, my heart brimming with excitement for the upcoming Durga Puja celebration at my uncle's house. As an Indian, the prospect of immersing myself in the vibrant colors of pandals and the various themes of the festival filled me with anticipation and wonder. Little did I know that amidst the festivities, it would be my first solo travel experience that would steal the show.

As the festivities unfolded around me, I found myself drawn to the idea of exploring on my own. Despite having traveled before, the prospect of embarking on a solo adventure held a special allure. You see, I've always been somewhat of an introvert, cherishing my personal space where I could be with my thoughts. It had been several years since I ventured out alone, and the prospect of having the freedom to wander and explore at my own pace was exhilarating.

The breathtaking views and picturesque scenery along the way captivated my senses, igniting a sense of wanderlust within me. While I missed the warmth and camaraderie of my large family, traveling solo allowed me to engage in introspective conversations with myself. I found solace in the rhythmic sounds of the train, reminiscent of childhood train journeys to my grandparents' village. Those carefree days filled with excitement and joy flooded my mind, enveloping me in nostalgia.

Traveling by train held a special place in my heart, evoking fond memories of simpler times. The journey itself became a source of joy, as I soaked in the sights and sounds of each passing station. The kindness of strangers and their encouragement to embrace independence only added to the magic of the experience.

As luck would have it, I found myself accompanied by a fellow traveler whose vibrant personality and optimistic outlook brightened my journey. Their companionship transformed mundane moments into cherished memories, making the solo adventure all the more fulfilling.

Arriving at my destination, I was greeted by the familiar face of my uncle, whose mix of concern and joy mirrored my own feelings about the journey. His presence served as a reminder of the importance of cherished relationships and the joy of returning home.

Even as I made my way back, the journey continued to surprise and delight me with new discoveries at every turn. Each moment became an opportunity for introspection and healing, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.
