Life is a journey. It’s not where you travel to. It’s the route you take for your journey. Life is a climb. It’s not about the view from the top. It’s about the things you learn during the climb.

Is journey displacing yourself from one place to another? For that we may have a word Travel. But then what is journey.

Mostly people tend to travel through their life to reach a particular aim, destiny, destination, even designation. And do we need to talk of the route. It’s the same one, everyone takes... But what we need to do is to take a journey to that place that aim and that destination.

You may reach your destination, while travelling but what have you gained with it! Let us take an unplanned journey into Life. Why do we need to have a planned travelogue? Why does one require seeing himself 10, 20, 40 years ahead of time?

Let us for a moment think about the unplanned journey we took before. It may be about giving way to the bike till the petrol went dry. Some about the unheard places. Some about strangers turned friends.

Have you ever reached a place and asked the local the name of the place. It’s always so fun so amazing a thing to do. Might be even better a feeling than of India winning the world cup.

But jokes apart. Everything seems so much fun then why do people want you to travel and not take journey.
Maybe we have a very good reason behind it. What I say, might have been a huge mistake in the past and hence such thinking ceased to come forward in time. Maybe or maybe not.

Wish I Had Wings
But at this moment, I don’t want to know if am right or wrong or even the past. I don’t. I don’t need a plan. I don’t want to travel. I need to fly, and I need to fly high...

Take my own leap into the clouds and disappear into them going distances only to reach a place unheard, unseen. A place only imagined. Whatever it maybe. But I need to fly...

LIFE IS A JOURNEY, NOT SOME TRAVELOGUE...
