A visit to new possibilities

It’s not easy to just forget and move on in life for people like us, forgetting here is those instances which made some differences in the daily routine, the thoughts, the approaches, the plans and most importantly the Life. I wouldn’t be just considering myself as the writer of this blog but maybe I am considering some of us with the same thought. When such a situation occurs we come to chose the right wrong without even considering the fact whether its right or wrong. I wanted some change in my life to just restart the whole thing, I wished for some reset button that could just refresh my memories only with the good ones and not a bad one anymore. But that’s quite impossible for now. One of my friends asked me to move to a place, a cold one instead just for fun and a changeover, I accepted the invitation without considering any fact. “Fun”, just a 3 letter word but has a lot of damn meaning inside for a homo sapien for his life to live, this was missing in mine, yes seriously it was missing. I wanted it back, maybe anyhow so I went with some of my friends to this place called Shimla.

Right above you this beauty of Himachal Pradesh, sitting just to show us the face of what nature and its beauty can do to you. I was amazed by the beauty, the shine it poured upon my face, the confidence to just re-imagine actually came from it. We all were having songs, and talks and all those so-called “bakaiti” in our terms, we seem happy, I seem to myself being happy for what I am entertaining in front of my eyes. The beauty was not over yet, we moved to places like Naldehra, Kufri and the Mall road of Shimla. Naldehra, oh beauty, a small place with a big thought for life, “life is not easy but not an impossible to live with a smile on face”, she(Naldehra) is something the same for me.

Naldehra

We did a small trek in Naldehra, even it was small but the pathway looked so damn distant. Every second foot reminds me to move on and enjoy, “life is a one time opportunity, the lucky ones get”. We completed that and had some rest. But it was not the end of this new beginning. We lit the fire and had this soup in our hands, the warmness of it just gave us the taste to not expect anything from life but to just live it with all my will power. “Expectations kill the reality, reality kills ourselves”. The talk that night, those secrets we shared, such nerds we were sitting right next to each other. We all shared love and smiles with each other, that chilling night I don’t want to forget. The day began with such a morning, tasty breakfast and a coffee as a tip.

shine — a tip

We continued our journey to “Kufri”, but this was not that straight, you have to had the horses for the travel up to the mountain. We all had our’s, some of us just fell down of the horses and some preferred walking a better option to move. For those who still took the horses with them reminded to never give up and you should not be the person to think negative and move but to be in the zone of positiveness, trusting each other to climb that mountain. We reached that height and started our so-called adventure after an hour or so.

There was this jump I don’t remember the name, we had to first walk on wooden planks tight between two ropes parallel and then to just fall off on to the net around 50 feet below of it. I was scared a bit, but the jump i took was free fall, that momentary jump said to me “You’re not that week, its just the strong is about to come”.

We finally started to walk downside of the mountain to move back and what i see is shining sunset

Shining in the dark

Even it was too dark but the reddish color was so beautiful that I couldn’t resist my eyes to watch it continuously. Every little moment says something to you in this life, just see them, listen to them and live them. Last but not the least, yeah I had fun.
