It’s the best feeling. Visiting a place where on the one point you are worried whether you will be able to go back home or not and at the other point something is so magical about that space, that it holds your breath and its magnetism makes you feel that yet this map is not leading you to your love, still you want to follow the pathway for a little longer because you have not feared all the delights that place had to offer.

She just stumbled upon the thought of taking a trip to the mountains and the surprising thing was the mountains, views and all the destinations were supposed to excite her the most but she realized that the most fun part was the roads and railway tracks until the end of the line. she started wondering, would the destination be as amazing as the wing running through her hair right now standing right beside the train doorway? The unsettled trees drifting through the train were calling in her head, as if they were telling her to forget all her sorrows. Deep valleys through the windows succeeded to reach the depth of her heart and the smoke coming from them blurring the pathway set foot on her and Blurred her thoughts too. Cosmos went blank and there was the moment she was waiting for, almost to the destination. From train to bus to jeep to on foot, it was too rigid to reach the top of the mountain, exhausted, slowing the pace was a sudden change. “Breathless walk to breathtaking view.” Tiring track didn’t allow her to feel any part of her body but just one, booming heart. It was trying to peek from her eyes and her mind was trying to digest the view. Eyes started finding the depth of the valley through the smoke desperately.

She took herself off there to discern those sites and endure them. yes, this is beautiful, now what’s next? She traveled there to weigh up the Sun, how it gazes in the morning and what changes when it sets down in the evening. She realized that with the setting sun, everything changes. Places like that take you from the road which was supposed to go back to your soft spot and set you down where you are no longer thinking about those roads. you’re into those immensely deep rifts and the landscape that you just came to visit, feels yours to stay and makes you feel a completely different person.

Any first experience is above all, it holds rawness which would possess anyone with its serenity and leaves you with either a heavy heart or untied and free like a jovial bird. Every soul deserves to feel a rising heartbeat while taking a glance at the striking outlook and skipped heartbeat where the faded mountain and the sky meet. Everything changes at the moment when a cold breeze lavishes, making the soul dissolve like ash, freezing your mind and splitting your heart. It was fortunate that she could feel that solace. Deep down something different traveled back with her.
