Travelling has always amused me in the most amazing of ways, it is often tiring and leaves one exasperated , yet wanting for more . Every trip opens ajar a whole world of possibilities and lets you explore new domains that arise with each mile . A solo trip into unknown territories has always been at the back of my mind for years , the constant adrenaline rush of what lies ahead is worth the push . And the gravity of that push led me to drive through fields and valleys , hills and deserts , and through countrysides and cities . I found myself dosing off in parking lots of deserted petrol stations , smiling like a baby as I watched the rising sun through corn fields , getting lost (thanks to the GPS) , chatting off with strangers , and meeting old friends and making new ones . As John Keats once said , "A thing of beauty is a joy forever..." and every thought of the pristine beauty does fill my senses with a dose of high grade cocaine . As the journey continues , I realized that every journey gives rise to a new one , and many a times the journey is within . A solo trip , gives one the enormous space and time to explore all the things that matter and all the things that are amiss , each mile increases the yearning for a close one and adds value to the quality of time that we spend on this planet . I have always recommended , and will always suggest to anyone ; fight your inhibitions and go on a solo trip to unknown lands , forget sticking to a plan and let the things flow.... you never know what you might discover!
