July 28
Today, I am not confused.
Today, I am not unsure about myself, I am certain !!
And at this very moment, I am not even ungrateful, all because of one simple decision , and that's what this is going to be about ...
On July 17th, I saw the movie I was anticipating for a long time. When I came back, I was really overwhelmed by the experience. But then suddenly reality struck my mind, I just realised if the protagonist of the story did not had that amazing story and that failure and especially the win after that failure, It wont be worth watching. So I just thought of many great names, and everyone had one thing in common they went out of there comfort zones and their homes for the search of greatness. So I just had a wild thought to go back to the place where I was born.
At first, it sounded absurd and foolish, but I had a positive gut feeling about it, so I consulted one of my friends and they insisted on me going. So there I was thinking, when to go. One of my relatives came that day, they said I can go with them on July 26th, and I would have had a more comfortable journey and I would have reached on July 27th, that was yesterday. But two thoughts struck my mind, one was I won't have this same energy that day, and one regional proverb "Aaj ka kaam, Kal par na taal".
So I just opened the booking app, there was no train except for one, it said it will take15hours 35 minutes to reach the destination, and I am kind of stingy so I booked sleeper. I then started packing and slept. Woke up the next day and got ready , went for the station, and being myself, got to the wrong station, I mistook new with old, my fault. then I rushed for the right station, I got in time, but the train departed almost 2 hours late. so It was already running 2 hours late.
Then, the journey started.
I met some people there, but one stays on my mind there was a little boy of like 8 years old, he had down syndrome and could not even stand or walk properly let alone use his hands, he was not even conscious properly of what he was doing, I observed him a lot.
Then comes the view, and it was generally one of the best part of the journey. As I booked a sleeper berth, my Window was open through, and In trains there are 12 sections, with 8 berths each. I got the first section, window seat. So, the ventilation was also really good as the doors of trains were open and half the time It was raining outside half the time. And as the train was a SPECIAL train, It stopped at many places. Many times at places that were like nowhere. These were places so naturally beautiful I had never saw anything like them before. I captured as many moments in my phone, and tried to share as many as I could with my friend, they liked it, and it made me more passionate, I got out of the train at every stoppage and clicked pictures PASSIONATELY.
And the Boy, I talked about. He made me feel so grateful to the almighty, that I never was. That I could hug the ones I love, That I could enjoy my life, That I could be myself !!
I reached almost 30 hours later after I left my home , as I left 2 hours before train ...
After reaching, I went to my Father's. I didn't know exactly where he was living so I had to figure out. He didn't seem that happy after seeing me, it seemed okayish.
But as the day passed, we cooked together, we talked, we prayed together. It was like a dream.
I had never had this great time with my Father, It was wonderful. thanks to my FRIEND.
I will continue this tomorrow after reaching home.
But I want to quote Brad Pitt .!
" Which is more important , the journey or the destination? .. It's the company "
And my friend, If you are reading this, you are the best company, and you are the one who made the difference, the difference of making all this good to BEST .
