'I gave this life everything' ... ♥

-->

-->They say all journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware and may be that’s something which makes it even more interesting as we have no clue as to what will happen next and we can’t take any coming experience for granted. My insatiable love for travel has taken me to many such places that took my breath away with their beauty and helped me to evolve as a person. But Yes, my this trip to Phuket and Bangkok was special to me in more than many ways. It brought me closer to myself than ever before. I heard the voice in my heart, jumped with bungee from 50 mtrs height and won my fear, got professional recognition in terms of getting “deal of the year” award, got drenched in rain walking at city roads at 4 am in the morning discussing life with a friend, and danced for hours as if there is no tomorrow….

The journey started with immense excitement in my heart as I was about to have my first international trip and also to experience the sense of freedom in my quest to know this life all the more. It was more than seeing of sights, relishing local culture, food and history. For me it was the journey not just the destination and I loved the every halt that came on my way. Phuket was more beautiful than my imagination. The scenic view and the amazing weather stole my heart away. I decided not to follow any pre defined itinerary and continued to start my journey my way. No one in my group was interested to try the adventure sport of Bungee Jumping. Having no other option for company, I took the step of making this attempt alone. On reaching the Top of 50 mtr height, I closed my eyes, spread my hands as if I have sprouted wings and took the fall. For few seconds I felt as if my heart beat was stopped but I lived through that each and every moment with a smile. This experience will always remain close to my heart.

I used to party hard every night till the time we were asked to leave as it was time to shut the place and I could not wait to wake up every morning and jump straight out of my bed to see what new surprise this new day has to offer me. In a formal occasion, to my most pleasant surprise, my name was announced to receive the “Deal of the Year Award” It certainly feels great when your company recognizes your contribution and efforts and considers you to be part of their success. I got this Glow on my face while receiving congratulating notes from every one J 





My first encounter with extreme closeness to a tiger in my arms at a wildlife park, my giggles and laughs for no reason and my walk on unknown roads in middle of the night feeling the rain and the life will always be stored deep in my heart. I know, I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, not an ounce of unused desire and talent in me… To be able to say in my last days, 'I gave this life everything' ... ♥
