This time of the year is very special for everyone. All big festivals like Diwali are already started and Christmas is on its way. The weather also becomes so pleasant for taking breaks and going out to the places we wish to visit. 

 

 

We all plan our vacations. While planning we make sure we get the best place, comfortable transportation, favourable weather, delicious food etc., to make our trip happy and memorable.

 

But the most important aspect of any short or long trip is the people with whom we are travelling and spending time. You always cherish the memories with the people you love.

 

Close your eyes and try to remember any of your memorable trips. You realize you remember the time you had chatted with your friends over a cup of tea/coffee in the corner of the hilly roads of the mountain. You remember the long walk in the night talking with your loved one on the beach of Goa. The long night drives or bike rides with your friends on the Mumbai-Pune highway. You woke up very early and gone so up to the fort of Jaipur to watch the sunrise with your group of friends in the cold winter. The street shopping and especially a group bargaining on the mall road of Shimla and Manali. Memories are countless and the time was incredible.

 

That time was beautiful because you have that particular person or people around you to enjoy every beat of that time. There is a quote in English; “It’s not the destination it’s the journey.” And from the lines of famous Bollywood songs, “सफर खूबसूरत है मंज़िल से भी….”

 

It means you always enjoy the journey more than the destination. Because during the journey you meet new people, you get to experience new things while reaching the destination. All these different feelings will make memories. 

 

You don’t need to plan for an expensive long holiday abroad. You just need good company to go out and get comfortable. Even though the place can be small and near your place but the memories you had will be cherished forever. 

 

Do you remember a small one-day picnic or 2-3 days trips which were organized by our school and college?  We had no idea about the places we visit, we didn’t even know the meaning of exploring and wonder-lusting at that time. The only thing which excites us was going out with our friends and enjoying our best on those trips. Those were so far the best trips of our life and the memories are for a lifetime. 

So, try to find happiness in small things and also, value the people with whom you can be yourself without any fear. Give importance to people over materialistic things. Plan a trip with your loved ones and cherish memories lifetime. 

 

Be free, be happy, and be independent in your thoughts. Take the gear of your life into your own hands. Feel good. Do give your feedback. What do you think? Share your views in the comments.
