Heya all ! Hope you all are doing great. Today, let us hop on a different kind of trail which is -
to plan to get lost !
What ? If it was planned than how one can get lost ! And, when it was to just get lost then there is no point of using the word 'plan'. Quite contradictory. Don't you think so....
So, what happened exactly. Shall we see ! We shall.
We all tend to plan ! Most of us do, right ! Be it preparing for examination, buying grossery, planning a wedding, a holiday, a vacation, a trip or even an adventure ! [Heights of panning - your honeymoon trip which starts even before you know with whom you will be going, LOL; wink if you agree ;p]
Gist is - planning which is done just so that we don't lose the track and avoid all unnecessary experience.
Let us suppose now,
You are in a new city. Everything around is just different. You feel the absence of essence in your voice that you used to have where you were born and brought up.Till now you have been sub consciously guarded that you always knew, that in whatever circumstances you will do something anyhow !
But now, its simply different. Is it good or not so good but yes, different. You wish to make best out of it and not just keep on messing around.
You get busy with your work. Adapting to new lifestyle. New people. New expectations. New environment. New conditions.
When so much new happens to you, one wishes to do something old which one liked always ! Get yourself together, plan for a day to go, to wander and may be find yourself back.
You move through the lanes. Get confused. Repeat the lanes again. Get curious upon people. Should I ask them the way or not ! They are strangers. Find it yourself. You search hard. Stand beneath a tree, try to not show the inner confusion to the passerby's.
Lane by lane. Turn by turn. Difference at every step can be felt. Your strength giving a good fight to fear ! Suddenly, it is clear to you. The coiled twists have relaxed now !
You start opening up. The change in walk can be felt as if you just getting control on ground beneath you. The path itself gives you inspiration to walk now ! You now know exactly where it will lead to !
Your heart smiles. So what it is this road, so what it may be less chosen, still taken by you, though least expected (may be !) but you took it. Now its time to pamper self. You find your old hanging spot, oh yes, it is 'Starbucks'. Splash of memories. So what you are alone ! No company to cherish with. But what you gained today made you realize that you can enjoy even if you are alone !
You give yourself coffee rejuvenation with a good smack sandwich !
You analyse the day, some old memories, few future hopes !
Stepping out, you even receive a compliment !
All smiles smiles. You continue with the path. Now you just know that you will be simply fine. You can take on the world with moving with the world.
You look farther now ! This time, your heart heart hushes :- a day more can be planned to get lost. Isn't it !
Well, this was the exact day I experienced last week ! And, it was simply happily amazing !
Curiosity quotient : What do we learn from this experience ! What is the essence it beholds. What is this experience here on "On The Way With Analogs" to be mesmerized with our lives !
Well today, it is you who is going to tell me the essence ! What you felt. Let it be out of your heart from fingers onto the screen. Let it be out. Good, bad, stupid, wow, beautiful just anything. Type it out.
Take a stroll over today's assumption and share your thoughts which can be your hopes, or may be from your similar experience ! Let us all share, what you got !
Looking forward to read all of your's beautiful thoughts !!!
