Sometimes life is all about spontaneity and quick actions ........ That's how I reached an unknown valley surrounded by green lushing trees near konkan valley in Maharastra........ My destination was Igatpuri , I was conviniently reaching there via local train but before that a local station known as kasara deluded my mind and I hoped out ...... Mesmerised by the green lushing trees over the hills couldn't resist my soul ,it was calling me ...... As I got out , I quikly tried to find out a transport to take me to any nearest hotel .I reached a nearby hotel had some food and took my sleeping bag and started to walk into the unknown ....... Paddy fields towards the jungle ... Walking all the way as I was reaching near and near I saw a small hut where a women was making and selling fresh local fritters ..... So I stopped there to satisfy my guts after so much of walking ....... This fritter selling lady was a old wrinkle faced with cutest of smile and her last tooth ready to fall ...... She asked me why I was alone and why was I walking towards the jungle .. she convinced me about the famous local ghost story which people had been talking about even when I was on the train ...... I was scared so finally gobbling my last fritter I was trying to resume my full guts and started moving ahead ...... I was walking and walking looking at clear sky and feeling the cool breeze with a small part of me inside telling me to stop by creating a fear inside my head about the ghost ........ I had a battle running inside my mind ..... And I was not able to feel the beauty around ...... Sometimes our thoughts distract us so much that we are just not able to feel the beauty all around us in the present moments ....... So finally I thought I will switch my mind off and just focus on the picture before me ..... The beautiful green valley pushed with a clear blue sky and soft breeze around my hair ....... And I kept walking slowly slowy faar away , where no mankind could be seen ..... I reached a empty space just perfect to rest so just took out my sleeping bag and jumped inside for a small nap ...... I woke up to find the sun had already set and again the fear of ghost started to trickle my mind .... As the darkeness started to rise so I finally gave up and started to make my way back to find the old fritter lady hut .... I lit up the electric lamp which I carry with me always ..... I just started to walk fast before it was late I kept walking and walking and finally saw the hut glowing with a yellow bulb .... I reached there and asked her if she could allow me to spend the night in her graciously warm hut, after bribing her a 500 rupee note she agreed .... So I slept there without any furthur plan ...... Waking up next day to the chirping birds and rude sun light directly on my face ..... The lady with a smile offered me a cup of black tea , with a wrinkle smile .... An expression of humanity ..... I packed up and thought of getting back to my predecided destination by reaching the local train ..... Sometimes adventures are amazing but there is no destination , it's just a mild distraction which successfully titilates your mind and again you are back to your normal routine......... I surely felt my soul refreshed walking all the way into the forest but I was not going anywhere , just walking and walking ...... That made the whole memory of my travel ..... My fear of ghost still persists and again I will be walking in some other forest without looking for any destination...... It surely gives me a good time with myself alone which I really love away from the rest of the everyday people around you ...... .. travelling alone makes you enjoy your own company that's a need for your soul .....
