The Wanderer...!

"Am back here with my posts, with some really boring notes- to the mind that never wanders, to the mind that never ponders...! 

And, for the rest who want it, you better get it started- read it on and on and on, before this moment is gone...!" - de r_Phoenix...!

Who said anything about limits? Who defined those limits? What was life before defining those limits? How would you live your life without limits?!  Oh yeah! Just take a moment, err... that would be very less time. Take a day. Yes. Take a day and live without limits. Experience the fun, joy, moments and am sure you are to treasure it forever. Well, if you choose to live the rest of your life without limits, you won't treasure anything 'cos you'll not find time to treasure anything but, find time to only live your life your way. 

This post, yes, it is about how i travel without any limits. I don't see or maintain any time schedules, time tables or charts of the means of transportation i would be planning to use during any of my trip(s). All i would bother about is the first and last service of the bus or train in my route. By this, i don't get to prepare a itinerary for any of my outings.
Be it a local or even an inter-state trip. I just start, reach the nearest terminal and begin my game from there. I always make sure i take the first service so that i have ample time for my game till the last one at the end of the day. Of recent, trips, mostly pilgrimage trips have been made this way. I start from home walking to the nearest terminal which is 5kms far and once i reach there, i endure this wait for the first service. Once aboard, my journey is filled with so many dynamic decisions. Soon after boarding, i would choose to get down at the last stop. But, when the conductor asks for the ticket, i would get the ticket for some other place and eventually get down even before i reach my destination(which is due to the wandering mind that keeps updating my plans according to the web surfing and the GPS en route). And, i happen to visit many temples or travel destinations by using this strategy. Even when i was a biker, i would start off with a trip on the ECR but would've spanned more than that. As far as my ride's fuel would permit me, i would calculate my mileage and extend or probably expand the trip as the word expand fits better than extend. 

Endless miles, unlimited roads, everything seems to welcome me. Never mind being the lonely traveller, it enhances the thrill further more. No rules, no regulations, no restrictions and it makes me feel like a free bird. I can take wings anytime, anywhere and enjoy my life. I have my own version of enjoyment and to mention a few instances which you would call rather insane are as folllows;

• I walk uphill, mist everywhere, temperatures reaching freezing limts, there's an ice cream shop and i get one and continue walking drenching myself in the roadside waterfalls;
• I leave home an hour past mid-night on my bicycle/dad's activa/my bike or even with my pet and enjoy the calm of the night, the speed ride along the forest path, the empty roads and streets that make you rule the streets;
• I take out my bike on a stormy day and go storm chasing and i have been lucky to find myself right in the eye of the storm ('Jal' cyclone storm chase last year);
• I have consumed 4 beer tins and fell asleep on the eve of my exam and the next morning i prepared for the exam from 9-10:30a.m. Be reminded that the exam starts by 10a.m itself and half hr is grace time for late comers and crazy people like me; I cleared the paper.
• I have been on a cycling trip for 57kms soon after completing my schooling;
• I am on an intern but am only bothered about touring the terrain which i successfully did and learnt more about the terrain than about my subjects during the intern.

And, the list would be continuing with years to come as i have always been passionate about travelling. I got wanderlust and i got love. Both are such an awesome combination. You miss your special one? Just go on a vacation and find how much your mind is involved in thinking about that special one while you are travelling. You may be on a tour but during such moments with thoughts about your special one filling everywhere, you are for sure not alone. Anything and everything you see, do, experience will spontaneously make you relate it with your special one and sometimes even make their presence felt around you while you are living those moments. Be it their likes, advice, curses or whatever, it'll all return and make those moments one-of-a-kind. That is what keeps me travelling. I only feel like travelling more and more so that i can get closer and closer. I shall remain the wanderer with excessive wanderlust and over-flowing love until that special moment arrives. 'cos, once the moment happens, i ain't gonna find time for anything else. ;-)
