Theme of the journey - Pilgrimage & Spirituality
Place of the journey - 4 of the most sacred Hindu temples in Kerala & a mosque
Reason for the journey - Experience of a different kind
Expectation from the journey - No expectation
All these years all my travels & outings were 99% of the times centered around Nature & Wilderness. Last week for the first in 12 years I went on a journey of a different kind...
The group of 36 with whom I went was very much different. Most of them were in 45yrs ~ 62yrs . I almost felt like a kid in the lot. The whole group were in a thought that was in unison with the journey. At the beginning even before boarding the bus itself I could easily make out that I was very much immature or really not ready for such a journey, but still i hanged on till the end.
The journey began with the thoughts in my mind about my life "I dont need anything & I'm self sufficient & satisfied" was shattered towards the end of the journey. "my wants" started to increase at a steady pace. I probably could not till now had the clarity as to what I really wanted . This was something an eye opener.
Due to my partially broken left leg at the beginning I thought I couldn't complete the 3hrs trek and the long hours of waiting in the line. but without any hazels I was able to make it, given the situation I consider this to be a bigger boost of my self-confidence.
Overall the journey was good in a different aspects of experience which 'am not able to clearly express in this post :(
