Standing alone in the midst of the railway platform where the green and red light of trains were squinting my beady eyes. I never came out of my house to travel to the unknown place. I had ten minutes left to get onto the train. I was stranded in the platform whether I should return or proceed with what I am doing. The engine drifted over the heads of the chattering crowds. Who cares if I get lost in this world? Why should even think of being alive? I lost everything except me. I am not fit for this sophisticated society. As the questions pondering in my little mind, I scuddled among them to catch up the train. The peace in this rattling compartment for nearly five hours exceeds without eating and talking to anyone. There was an old man who tried to communicate but I refused to do anything except staring at the sky. I got down where the language is new, the people are new and the place is so unknown. "Why shouldn't I listen to my intuition?". I cried like a baby who comes to the new world. But the old man murmured. "I think you don't know where to start? Would you mind if I invite you to the campfire in the forest?" I don't know where to start and to end in this leap unknown place. So I decided to travel with this unknown old man in this unknown place with full of young adults and students. The old man tried to talk but I refused. As I climbed the hill, the path takes me across some of the most incredible pullbacks of nature bordered by flora and fauna on both sides. The wholesome view of the enthralling greenery, cloud-bound valley and the hush mountains were one of the best offers from the universe to me. The series of zig-zag rock formations is the epitome of beauty on earth. Walking in the entire path by looking at the green mountains made me believe in me. I reached my destination after three hours of the journey. It ends into the waterfall offered by nature to take a refreshing bath in freshwater while enjoying the rich flora and fauna along with melodious birds. Hidden within the forest, this immaculate waterfall is a wonder of my life. We joined with other groups. Some with families, some with partners and some with kids. The campfire started as the dusk arrived. The old man asked me to join to dance along with them. I stood up there hesitating but I danced without concerning of anything for nearly half an hour. The old man wasn't tried to talk with me but merely smiled when I was dancing. " Thank you for giving me a wonderful choice" "Have you seen the kid when you climbed the hill? When we climb the hill, we are looking for the result, the destination and the end. Sometimes we forget the essence of the journey by thinking about life and to find out what is wrong whether in you or in society. You started so you need to end it up as soon as possible. Unlike us, kids do not care about the destination, the result and the end. They just walk. So, don't worry. Just live.” " What makes you explore in the world?" "Travelling is something much more different than the things that you consider. I travelled alone at the age of 23 when I lost hope in this sophisticated society. Presently, I am a professor in sociology to train young minds." "Wow! That's nice to hear. Had you gone through all the places in the world? This is my first journey." "When you are a baby, the world is an unknown place for you. I am trying to live in all the unknown places. But more to go. Will you mind if I offer you a job as a personal assistant? You can travel a lot with me and my students. This is how I finished my first travelling. Whether it is an end of the journey or a starting kick of my life, the universe knows. The first journey.
