The Jourey Begins...

Journey...travel...jaunt...all these synonyms, right from my childhood, enchant me...

The first journey I can recollect now, is one when I was around 5 years old...I still remember mom waking me up as early as 4:00 in the morning...

We were to go to my mothers hometown not on any special occasion, just as a small trip for my mother to meet her parents, brothers and sisters...but for me its great chance to explore new place...I always liked going out but this particular place has always been very special to me, my cousins were once my best friends...though I hate to say that I had to use the 'O' word but that's how it is now...

Waking up at 4:00 in the morning even till date is not my cup of tea...but I had to wake up at 4:00 as the train or bus which we had to take to reach there would start at around 5:00...and then I ask mom in telugu...

me: Amma whay izz it that we aaalllwaysss aaave tzzo tacke thes train we have a train at 10:00 na why don't you opt for it...that train we can see what is that we are going through and all the farms and in full sunlight...but this onne its all dddaaaaaaaaark...............(as you might have observed few are perfectly pronounced and few not just understand whts common)

Amma: That train is waste of time you go ther at 5:00 its like all day a waste...but here we can sleep in train if you want and day will not be wasted...(That's how I always used get my answers 1st why I'm wrong then why other is correct)...

Me: But why is the day wasted if you are spending it traveling...and that too when we have to go through those beautiful fields...

But the idea was not attended to...

This is all I can remember of that entire day...a day related to the first memories of my travel life...

The life that followed this incident has seen me growing as a person both in terms of psyche and physic(This part may not be much compared to the previous one)...and journeys of my life have a great deal of contribution in the growth of the first thing I described there...
And all those journeys have been very close to my heart...

That is the reason why I choose JOURNEY as the choice of my first ever BLOG...

Here I would like to share all those beautiful journeys along with many more I'm going to take...in the future...

That is on the whole THE JOURNEY BEGINS...
