Slow Life.

I want a slow Life in a small town!

So much changes with time, at one point of time, all I wanted was a successful career, money, luxury, comfort, of course, along with my people. Ten years back, my dreams were different from what they are today. My dream house used to be  a lavish one in a metro city with every comfort inside and even the comforts were different from what they are now. And, I have always believed I will earn it. 

And today, the only thing similar from my previous dream is my people, everything else changed. I no more want a huge amount of money or a super career or a luxurious lifestyle or a very big house in a crowded city. All I need is a peace of mind, a slow life in a small city, peaceful evenings with my loved ones and good food on the table. 

I am back to square one, where, I again want a small house on the green hills with a small river flowing around, with everything I need to survive, clean air, clean water, clean food and a fireplace to keep me warm in winters. Less noise, more smiles and no mobiles.

I crave for stress free weekends at home, sipping my coffee in peace, reading a book, cooking in my free time for my people. Sleeping till late, playing a sport, listening to old music, doing something creative with calmness around. Travelling often.

A place away from maddening crowd. 

I don't want a social life where I have 500 friends on Facebook, 300 followers on Instagram and hollowness inside. Wishing festivals to hundreds of people on WhatsApp and not feeling anything! 

I want to be with few people I truly care about.

Aah I was watching 'DDLJ' the other day, what a life it was without mobile phones, when everything was real. Emotions were real, people used to make effort to meet, talk and see each other. So complicated yet so sorted!

Irony is, by default I belong to that Era, I have seen that life and I can compare it. And I know I can't go back there, even when I know it was so much better.

Mobile phones with internet are a curse, I feel I am never free. I am always followed, entangled in chains everywhere. On every damn social media if you are online, you are visible to everybody and you are bound to reply. I hate being rude and ignorant and I don't want to be there. 

Sometimes, I really wish to run away from it. 

Dear God, I won't ask for anything from you! Just take care of my people. And I Love You.

Beach, Of Course! ;-)

Well, the other day I and my colleagues were discussing if given a chance where we would like to go for a vacation… I dunno why but the only places promptly clicked my mind were Goa & Bora Bora…

My colleagues anyways favored mountains as their ideal vacation spot…. That whole day I was trying to think… Why I couldn’t say any hilly region as my favorite… I have been to more mountains than beaches and I love mountains too… Now… after analyzing… I feel I am more of a beach personality!

Beaches are calm and clear... what pulls me the most is the mesmerizing sound of waves…. The magnetic comfortable warmth around….. The feel of sand on the feet is just incomparable and gripping…. I am not a swimmer though…. But still I love beaches but only clean beaches without any crowd… :P

I can spend hours playing in the water… ;-)

I have been to mountains... I love climbing them… I like the warmth of sun in the chilly weather... I love having a cup of hot black coffee while walking in the mountains…. I love eating my favorite food in the dhaba/restaurant on the hills…. but I would any day choose to go to a beach over mountains….

Although, psychologically I dunno the inner personality traits of either mountain lovers or beach lovers… but I believe there must be some kinda personality traits linked to it…. Any ways.. that I’ll see if I can find it out on Google… :-)

Now, I am in holiday mood…. Let’s see when I’ll get this opportunity to visit some nice beach again… :D

For right now, I’ll go and sleep… Weekend is over…. And I loved it.... :-)

Good Night God.. Love you and Thank you for everything… :-)
