You hate travel? .. and you think others love travel? There is a state in between the two. I don't know the name of it, but I can feel it.
Yes I was a wander lust once, when I was young, not just traveling, but trekking, visited almost all the mountain ranges of Kerala and Tamilnadu, every year at least for 10 full days, through the virgin forest, amid the lush green emeralds, towards the crest of the mountains, through the velvet mist, wet, a small team of five persons, completely cut off from the social web, a complete divine solitude, along with the herds of wild elephants, silently following the tiger footprints, every day 6 hrs walk, through the pouring rain, sleeping on the rock.... a perfect blend with nature's bliss......................
Once, from a small forest village ‘Mukkali’ of palakkad district.. through the silent valley forest, crossing the Sispara pass, through the sub zero temperature nights of nilgiri hills, through the upper Bhavani wild life sanctuary, reached Ooty, 9 days, 85 KM.... how do you feel, I still can smell such pilgrimages to the nature's holiness.. to the divine virginity.
How about writing your experience in that journey? every minute details, your feelings, what encouraged encouraged to choose such a journey? what you learned from that journey? This post reminding me about the Paulo Coelho's Novel ' The Pilgrimage' in which he is telling about his internal urge to choose such a journey and how it changed his whole life.
ReplyDeleteYes Aneesh that is a good suggestion. But I may have to recollect the incidents, a travel back to the past. Let us try
