I think I was too young to travel that time. Any ways, I was in the train way to ooty traveling across west-North part of India. Before that I had never been in any trips. I was in the train enjoying the dumb meal of the train for 36hrs, when reached to the destination, can not able to make my body steady. It took few hrs. to me to get completely normal. I jumped into the hotel room, it was too cold the day was almost over, sun was down stars were glowing. I was not lucky enough to see the beautiful sunset, I planned to se the sun rise. The very next day I woke up early, It was foggy every were. My window pane was covered with fogg. I went out in fogg, reached to the location and waiting for sun to rise. Afet 10 minutes bright orange sun was rising slowly, the view was absolutely amazing. The sun was behind the fogg and felt like the sun rays were trying to come out of the fogg. Felt relaxed, the moment was so pure. Everywhere there was silence ,i closed my eyes and tried to record the silence of the moment. The voice of gentle wind, the birds singing, absolutely amazing. After seeing the energetic sunrise, i went to the street to have my morning tee. The Indian streets style tee, absolutely perfect,......... Heart melting sunrise, local style tee, for me morning can not be better than that. Later i went to ooty Lake, meet some local vendors, also had a boat ride. The lake was so quiet, i was having chocolates in the boat, going with the flow. I have no, to do list ...so i was simply, enjoying the weather of Ooty. Wherever I go i see the tee plants everywere. The roads were carving the hills, and the hills were covered with tee plants. The day was ending, i came back to hotel. I was shivering, it was very cold and i urgentlay needed something to drink. I then came out, looking for Bar. I was in shorts, in the street, walking in search of Bar. It was too late, but streets were sill awake, people were walking the local shop were welcoming, I saw the bikers gang roaring their bikes all over the streets ,the city was not in the mood to sleep. After that I reached to Bar i ordered my drink. While I was having my drink i recalled my day. It was so relaxing. After having my drink i walked back to my hotel, thinking of this beautiful day, my body was filled with positive vibes. That moment I made a small promise to me, that in future if possible i want to travel again, go to the unknown and live a meaningful and healthy life.
