The Himalayan Dreams

Eventually, after spending almost 10 days in the heart of Himalayas, I have come back to my social prison of city life which some people co-relate as a daily routine of a working class human being, but, on a personal level i feel life in hills was way much more fascinating & peaceful, unlike cities where you have to keep working hard for the loans which you had taken up during your college duration & you are working hard enough to pay the banks back. in the course of time you end up becoming a social slave of the financial institutes which are moulding the societal hierarchy of the system.

This trip of mine was on personal level very much required for giving me a spiritual gyaan which is probably not possible in hustle bustle of the city. When you are in the hills & you are all surrounded by the white snow, a sudden peace hits you deeply which you miss deeply in your city prison life. when you are in hills, half of the town is either an uncle, aunty or a distant relative , unlike cities where you end up searching for your own identity among millions who are also dwindling with you in the same race of self discovering. Spirituality & Philosophy takes a backseat when you try to discover your ownself in cites. In the modern times, relations are majorly conceived on need basis where there is always a give & take phenomena working on somewhere in an individual's mind. The society has surrendered itself to luxuries which money provides, but, in this course of time we end up killing the desires of relatively small happiness like going out for a walk with the loved ones, or having a good meal with the family. Everybody is running towards the money & in this rat race everyone wants to emerge as a winner, but, it's ok even if you don't emerge as a winner, but end up making the individuals close to you happy by giving & spending with them a moment of joy/despair in their
times of need.

After staying & working for almost 3.5 years in big MNCs I have realized that emotions are always on backseat & it's kinda boring to work on the same same issues round the clock. I also had the opportunity to meet some of best individuals whom I know in this life during this time period. It's not as if I am not happy with my job or something, I am way too much happy with the job, but, the kind of happiness i am searching as an individual to get an inner peace is definitely not there in the city life. I think for me that peace lies somewhere in himalayas. Money is definitely one of the few things due to which i am holding myself here in the city, but, i think I need to move beyond it for the search of happiness which i have been looking for. Somethings in life cant be purchased with money. As an individual i had always been more inclined towards nature & it is one of the few things which inspires me the most.

As an individual, I truly wan't to invest my time towards himalayan protection or may be in some sorta eco tourism for making the people aware about the importance of these great mountains which have been protecting us from the beginning of the time. It's a dream for me to start an organic farm where I can grow fresh vegetables & fruits & let the future generation taste something fresh before they get a taste of a burger or a sub. From individualistic point of view i feel home is somewhere where you are happy & surrounded by your loved ones, eve, if you have less money, but, great memories to bring a smile on your face.

With the heavy thoughts of moving into Himalayas for an endless trip, I guess this is the perfect time for saying adios to these heavy thoughts & work more towards achieving the dream of getting lost in the white snow.
