TRAVEL KNOCK ON THE MIND
STEVEJOBS’ greatest hit story “CONNECTING THE DOTS” just
feels so true and inspiring that I am able to relate it all very well. Life’
the most beautiful creation ever made on earth, it’s given for a reason and you
just have to find a way to get to that reason and you can easily corelate the
story of ‘connecting the dots’, when everything starts coming on track.
‘Knock
knock’ December 2014 was the Christmas time and all doors were open to feel the
moments of ‘sunburn GOA’ 2014. But suddenly two days before the flight ‘the
other friend backed off making excuses and ended up cancelling the plan, at
that moment all the doors were turned into dark and all the excitement was
buried somewhere. In the middle of nowhere I was left alone. And this was not
the first time that a trip was cancelled because of a friend.
Do you think that was an end of the moment!! Or an
excitement!! Or a life!!
Well in the middle of nowhere it was the start of a
traveller that I myself didn’t knew. Next day all the strength was gathered and
mind chose to get things into place. And started searching for a companion from
the big world out there. On the third day after the plan was cancelled, “A mail
dropped my Inbox ‘regarding a 6-day
trip to Jaisalmer from one of the travel company’”.
‘JAISALMER’ had a flashback history in the
subconscious mind and, connected to a ‘DOT (STORY OR INCIDENT)’.
ABOUT THE DOT THAT
CONNECTED
Fashion design was the subject I was into. Time was about
the last semester and got a project to make a collection of 7 outfits. In order
to make any collection we were given a theme or an inspiration, as nothing in
this life works without an inspiration. The core end of any great inventions is
a result of great minds that were inspired by some or the other thing, as
everything is connected to everything.
‘SAND DUNES’ was the topic, from which entire collection was
to be made. And I always wanted to be the best as usual (most common thought
every student gets, and I was part of it too). So, in order to give my best
presentation at the end of the semester, I thought of doing a photoshoot with
model and all in Jaisalmer, unfortunately that was the time of ‘JUNE’ of course
it was hot during that time and not the perfect time for the place to visit.
And secondly it was getting too costly for me to get that shoot done, surely
not worth it as well. Finally, the plan ended up with a self-shoot with a white
background and the idea of Jaisalmer was vanished without a second thought.
BACK TO THE TRAVEL
MAIL IN THE INBOX
After getting to know about the trip all the idea of
Jaisalmer flashbacked, in addition the idea of travelling was still alive in
spite of the cancelation of the plan to sunburn goa. With all my strength
gathered I called up to this company, to know about the trip and finally
planned to go alone for the very first time ever. And was finally on the train
to Jaisalmer on 4th January 2015.
Jaisalmer was just a start, made my way to treks, and parts
of India and after getting into the meditation of travel finally made to many
international destinations as well. I still couldn’t believe that I did that,
but I did it. and had no idea that would come this far and would become a
travel freak, solo traveller or a backpacker. Its like a meditation to me.
My only lesson to you is get rid of fears to travel solo its
just a start to meet yourself and get to know the inside you, hear your own
heart beat and you will forget all the melodies as your heart has the best
melody ever.
