I am excited to share that I am planning for my solo tours.
I have started taking baby steps towards my plans to travel solo. The reasons why I wish to do so are more than one. May be because that's the way to grow 'icche dana' - wings of wishes and once they are strong I can flap them around soaring high into the sky, feeling the soft cotton cloud in my palm.
I feel, by being alone I can see myself clearly, I can understand myself better. So far, I am used to think of myself as other people , my relations see me. I have formed an interpretation of myself based on the perception of my relationships. I get a feeling that I am way beyond that. I am much more than that. Or maybe a lot less than that! And so you see RURU, my solo trip will be a path towards self-discovery :-D
Moreover, I am scared and paranoid about safety. My parents and family have grilled a sense of fear withing me in the name of love and protection. So, now, I believe that by being alone will make me a target, and I am being irresponsible by going out into this big and scary world on my own, and my own inner-voice is holding me back with visions of worst-case scenarios. So it is time that I screw all of that!
Though related to work, but I did visit Hariyana, Uttarpradesh - Panipath, Sonipath, Karnal, Gangoh, alone, in the recent past. And on the contrary to my impression of the area, what I experienced is that nature is beautiful and magnificent there and so are the people, the locals. As I traveled through moss green mango orchards, pale green wheat fields; as the cool breeze of river Yamuna kept tempting me; I listened to the endless anecdotes of the cab driver who let me know about several enticing local cultural experiences.
My mini solo travel enabled me strengthen my intuition, my awareness, my mental stability. So, my dear RURU, I am all set for the next and the day is not far when I will be able to liberate myself from all the emotional shackles and be detached in the most beautiful and enchanting sense.
