I didn't expect to find India

"Which is the earliest bus I can get? Whatever station it is I just want a ticket to the place 8-9 hours away." I asked to travel agent. Time was 11.30pm. I was irritated with my office, I need a break so I just took a bag and off to the place I don't know about. I reached Mumbai early morning and I went to a beach to relax, it was the first time I visited Mumbai. I ate breakfast there and asked for the places I can visit. I went off for a famous ganesha temple and it was so full of crowd but still peaceful, I started feeling suffocating but crowd didn't allow me go, suddenly someone snatch my hand so hardly and before I understand anything I was out of the crowd. I sat there and drink water, "are you alright?" Someone asked. I saw a boy in front of me, he was the one who helped me. I thanked him and we had a good conversation. I found that he is from Mumbai so I asked him to join me so I can visit most of the places. He agreed and we start our journey. On that day I visited 3 beaches, 2 temples and 1 shopping street. But the important thing is I got a friend for lifetime. In a single day we made a good relationship and we still are friends. We still chat, whenever I visit Mumbai, I call him and visit him for sure. Let's get back to story now, Its already night and I have to leave because next day I have to attend my office. While return journey, I was thinking that I don't need to plan vacation or go with someone, I can enjoy a little break and make it memorable. But only one condition is there, that is you have to stop being logical, keep away your brains, only follow your heart, give freedom to your feet to go wherever they want to go. Just forget your identity and lost your self in journey.
