There is always a way, if you have a will that burns in you and never let you sleep. I believe this fancy line, not because I read it some high class magazine or some award winning author's novel. I believe it because this is a exactly what I felt when I planed my travel, a journey to that unknown which changed my life in many ways. Traveling, for me, is a passion. So how my simple passion travel gave me the courage to take that leap to that unknown, I don't know. You listen to my story and then decide, if it is my journey that discovers the unknown or it is the unknown that embraces me. Travel is always like a fresh morning breeze to me, it sooths my soul which screams for a chance to escape from my boring life. It is more like a safe house to me. So I started planning my first adventure trip to freedom with full of activities and fun and new experiences. As my nature says about me, when there is no problem in your life make one, it will add spices in your life. So I packed my bag with dry fruits, emergency medicines, my cards and cash and a big packet of excitement. My Journey started from Chennai, where I was staying that time for my job purpose. I started at 20:00, 24th Dec 2018 via bus. My first stop was Bangalore, India. As the saying goes, you walk fast when you are alone but can walk long when you have friend. So I reached Bangalore to drag another enthusiast like me and to start our first phase of the Journey. I reached Bangalore by next day. The weather was fantastic. After beating the hot weather in Chennai and riding the bus for almost over nine hours, Bangalore greeted me with cool breeze and fogy weather. The absence of scorching sun didn't bother me at all and I welcomed the light drizzle with a big happy smile. The joy of seeing each after so many years and the excitement of our new adventure filled us completely. We went out for some the local sightseeing on the same day, after I freshen up. We had Bangalore special Mangalore Buns, Dosa and Idli for our dinner and ended our day with a beautiful sleep. We woke up for our 'Parasailing Day' with a heart full of fear and unknown excitement. As we reached to the location for our fist adventure, the trainers asked us to gear up with our safety belts for the fly. Even though our excitement already hide somewhere in our heart and fear took over its place, we embraced ourselves and witnessed all the fear, cry and joy of those riders before us. My friend first came out from her trauma before me and stepped forward for her fly. Seeing my self proclaimed adventurist friend on verge of crying, my knees gave up and her loud howl within next few seconds, my soul flew away before me. After completing her session she gave me a nice prep talk and I stepped forward. Words are less to describe the feelings that I felt that moment. The plan was to close me eyes and run and I will fly in no time. But as they says adventures are always unexpected moments. I never felt the ground on second step of my run and I was in the air before I even realize it. My mind blew away for those few minutes. The view of the city, the excitement of that unknown feeling, which I think a mixture of every emotions present in me, I even forgot to breath. The strong wind engulf me completely and I felt near to sky. My mind pulled me back to reality when my feet touched the ground again. The feeling of that unknown still now pulls me to the sky when I watch it through the window of my closed office building. The stuffy environment don't choke me like it used to before. Do I have a logic behind that? No, just a feeling, a feeling of being near to that unknown place.
