Unintended love

I didn't expect to find India

Whilst, likewise most of the travellers I tried to quench my thirst by the ever bewildering nature and natural essences but to my surprise I found out myself. Drenched in the wilderness of nature was I when I saw it for the first time. The twilight following the breeze after the raindrops already had danced with the flora and fauna. It was there when the flashing beauty of it struck my sense of sight and I stood awestruck. It was drenched in the wilderness of nature like myself but it was so enchanting, free and in it's bloom unlike myself. It was then I saw the exactness that I should have had in my life and be free like it even when the circumstances are ever limiting and prohibiting. This was the exactmoment in my 25 years of life that set me free and changed the perspective that I had held for so long. It was a beautiful sight having such a fairy tale come true as it was in the darkest phase of my life when this light had shined up on me through a creation that shunned the audio or language barriers and passed to me a message in the most basic and the universal language of frequency, vibration and energy. It took a creation limited by language to convey me the essential foundation of life and that is to be free and true no matter what. It was then an emotional rush could I feel with in myself that portrayed the real image of the purest form of love and I found myself fall rather fallen for the same and the essence was quintessential as it left myself empty, wanting and curious just like we all were when we were kids. This notion of nothingness left me with the drive of finding more, wanting more but gathering just life. It always had been there for the taking but being involved in the most intricate forms of life and hence not being able to focus the attention on the simplicity had caused me and most of us away from being the best version of ourselves. The atmosphere and the environment was electrifying as was the nature, wild and the chime of the forest. Well, coming to the people and the overall nature of my tryst. The people were a lot more compassionate and hospitable to a whole new level of what modern day people have become accustomed to. It did not took me more than an hour to discover their nature being arguably the best in the world despite facing tyranny and being in the state of terror for a shocking period of over 70 years. The pain and sorrow was evident in their eyes yet the smile dazzled all those who went close, rendering them skeptical of what they witnessed or observed or heard. This feat is in itself extraordinary as to how people of conflit (I would address them by that name) have managed not just survival but also the art of living through all those ill circumstances and the continuous hovering fear of death in the air. This could not have been the complete version of my journey had it not been about the days spent with in the neighbourhood amongst the people who did everything just to make me feel like home. It was necessary to take a ride and make my quest more adventurous with the kin folk of that state so I did and to my surprise it exceeded my expectations. The overall warmth could be seen in the natural environment, the morning breeze not less than a healer, the afternoon sunshine better than any retreat, the evening sun set while it kissed the forehead of the lake and the cozy fizzy nights accompanied by the beautiful strings of Rabaab would fill any heart with the innate humaneness which we all are born with. It could possibly be the best that I have and arguably I will ever find on a trip to any part of the world. Filling the gaps and voids left inside me was the truest form of nature that I witnesses and it healed me in no less manner a dying gets opportunity to have his life back and live again from.the beginning.
