Amidst all the running around of our daily routine. With the stress of exams, anxiety of results, pressure of accomplishing future goals and career targets a short weekend getaway was exactly what I needed. A close friend was turning 21 and wanted to simply enjoy without any hassle. She invited all of us to come and just enjoy her birthday far from home and routine. It was difficult for us to make adjustments but i guess we all craved for a break. Slowly a week before her birthday everything fell into place. All schedules automatically got cleared. Flight tickets were easily available. Everything was under our convenience. All of us started bag packing and the next thing we knew we were handed over our room keys at the Goa Hotel. We were certain that all activities went so smoothly that a storm was around the corner. We chilled across the shore. I Enjoyed the beautiful sky. Let the breeze tickle my cheeks. Swayed along the dulcet tones of the waves and thus contemplating to say goodbye to Day 1. Before sleeping my brain kept prompting me to be calm for the hassle the next day was going to bring. Day 2 began in the afternoon (hahaha) , we had lunch and drove up to a cliff in south Goa. The view from above was surreal. Everyone was quite, absorbing the serenity. It was like meditation. Far from the noise sitting there while watching the sun smiling her way back into the sea telling us to just live in the moment. I sat there with a blank mind, with nothing to think or worry about. The air whispered in my ear JUST RELAX! As the sun said goodbye so did we. We went back to the hotel with peace in our aura. That night we brought in our friends Birthday without having to paint a smile. We celebrated her birthday just the way she wanted with no hassle, no worries. Far from the rush far from the routine. Our minds are so wound up with worries and tension that we forget to live in the moment. There is so much negativity that we don't believe in the positives in life. Sometimes stop, wait, look around and JUST BREATH my friend. Everything cannot be planned. Everything happens for a reason the good, the bad. Learn to accept all of it and ENJOY THE PROCESS. #goa #break #relax #serenity
