Travelling solo!

It just hit me during my little travel adventure!

There was a time, when I never used to be alone! Alone alone! As in! Without my ear plugs or a book or for that matter a fashion magazine(though I never could indulge into one)...Just passing time..Just changing the tracks...Just turning the pages.... Well these moments have come and gone and still they continue to...When you live far away from your home...you have to travel....Probably that's when the travel bug bit me! I am glad it did though! (wink!, why can't you leave me alone!!!)

**These lines in between the brackets and the hidden meanings are not intentional! They just pop-up! It's kinda like the pop-up window! Either you have to learn to ignore them and live with them!

Yeah! I was saying! Yeah I talk to myself! Whatever!

When you travel a lot! You evolve!

It all started for me, when I was a teenager and in first year of my graduation. First it was travelling with best buddies, then  the group! As time passed by, it was me, only me! I think it's been nine years I have been travelling alone back and forth! So technically speaking the whole idea of solo travelling isn't new to me!

Yeah earlier I used to be occupied by some or other distraction and now I am distracted by you! And look at you! You have moved ahead! In fact you were never there!

It used to appear all so lame to me! How can people sit idle! Be it airport, be it railway station or be it the waiting area! As far I can recall, I even carried a book for my doctor's appointment!
But there were people! Lots of them! Sitting right there! Talking! Thinking! Plotting! Smiling!

It so happened this time! I had a fairly great book with me! I had time! Plenty of it! Cause I was holidaying in Hampi! But not even once I turned a single page! I was waiting for my bus! It was a 3 hour wait! I could have opened the book! I could have buried my self in it! But somehow I couldn't! Instead I was buried in thoughts! Good ones and bad ones!
Is it the age?
Is it the responsibilities?
Is it life?
Is it love?

Wish I could just figure out any one reason! But I guess there are just more than one! Multi-factorial! As they like to call it!
 Probably with time comes new challenges!
 Probably with time comes new hopes!
Probably with time comes new disappointments!
Probably with time comes new failures!

And probably that's why even in the midst of all that crowd you feel lonely! Definitely not alone! Sometimes you feel, you are at peace!

That is why now I can see myself the way I see myself!

Sometimes I find myself amused by alien conversations
Sometimes I find myself irritated by stupid conversations
Sometimes I find myself listening to a different dialect
Sometimes I find myself listening to my own thoughts

Your's
Sometimes a travel can heal you
Sometimes a travel can make a new you
