freeing me

At times I find myself struggling to break free from the crazy thoughts my mind cooks up. Of late things have settled down in the dark alleys of my brain. I can think clearly and nothing seems so terrible anymore. This happened after my best friend put things in perspective for me in the candid way that he always does. Thanks pal :)

You know how there are certain things we all do that make us feel immensely happy. For me some of those things are going to the mountains, watching the rains, and riding horses. Some of my best memories have included one or more of these.

1. Darjeeling, WB - my first trip to the Himalayas. I can’t forget being stunned by the majestic lush green mountains, neatly cut tea gardens and lovely smiling mountain people.

2. Monsoon 2005, Mumbai - Another memory that will stay with me for a while was watching the rain come down on 26th July 2005. I was safely at home by 2pm and I spent the rest of the day staring at the fury of the monsoon for hours together. It was beautiful and devastating all at once.

3. Giza, Egypt - Riding around the pyramids. I learnt riding when I was a very young and that explains my love for horses. They are beautiful animals with the softest hearts unless you decide to stand at the rear and tickle their hooves. In which case you might find yourself in another orbit.

Point of the Post: Every now and then do things that set you free and meet people who love you back. They make the world seem easier to traverse through.
