NOMADIC TENDENCIES

                                     

"I want to live my life on edge,want to travel all around the world,meet new people,know different cultures,try new cuisines,try bungee jumping,sky diving want to have near death experience."A   voice inside my head said and believe me it happened way before the release of movie 'Ye Jawani Hai Diwani'so i also can't blame Ranbeer's dialogue "Mai udna chahta hu...Daudna chahta hu....girna bhi chahta hu...bas rukna nhi chahta"for this sudden outburst.

   And when I observed around me it's not only me who feels like this.News feed on my Facebook page is full of snaps of friends going to different places,camping,trekking,biking.Youngsters keep talking about adventure and adrenaline rush.

   But from where it all coming from???? I do remember when in school time I got the opportunity to go for parasailing literally I had to beg my parents for permission.According to me it was exciting and awesome experience , according to them it was dangerous and stupid idea.(It's another thing that I won the argument).

   But still we are so comfortable in our daily metro life full of gifts of science where we get everything purified from water to beer,now weather and seasons don't affect us we have control of temperature around us.With one call you can get everything (from pizza to cab) at your doorstep and well I can give myriad other examples but I think you got the point so again what is this urge that makes us to go to those rude mountains for trekking or to go to those rainy forests filled with blood sucking leeches for camping,why instead of sitting in our comfy couch we plan for trips where we could need to face fury of nature and that too is also not free of cost .We have to loose our pockets for that.

  Is it just a try to break the routine of monotonous life or is it a proof that does't matter how much we evolve we still have genes of early man.Somewhere deep down inside we are like our ancestors nomadic.With time that tendency may have got suppressed but didn't fully become vestigial. It may be in hibernation but not dead.And a little spark of freedom and desire can turn it in forest fire of zeal and passion.

   And within hours only we are planned with our brochures,online packages,maps.backpacks or bikes.

    So after planning any trip like this when I need to convince my parents I too say in full bollywood style "I do have a list of things I want to do before I die as'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' ".Now you tell do they have any other option than saying yes????
